Patrick Kane's Middle Finger Is Ready For The Playoffs [Update: Doppelkaner]

Kenneth Faried Kicked This Hole In A Wall After Last Night's Loss
"I hate to lose," Kenneth Faried told USA Today's Sam Amick after the Nuggets fell behind the Warriors three games to one. "I hate to lose more than I like winning." Translation: This poor bit of drywall in Oracle Arena's visitors locker room had it coming....
Grand Master
Spring brings with it a bum's rush of new sports books. This year, one of the most prized titles comes from the distinguished Library of America—American Pastimes: The Very Best of Red Smith (edited by Dan Okrent).

Security Guard Celebration Is An Homage To Rasheed Wallace
It's natural to focus on all the Knicks celebrating Raymond Felton's huge, buzzer-beating three at the end of the third quarter of today's Boston win. Melo is pumped up. So is Tyson Chandler. Steve Novak is undoubtedly doing a very subtle and very intense discount double check that we just can't see...
Jason Terry Prolongs Celtics-Knicks Series
At the end of the first half, Boston owned a 54-35 lead over the Knicks.

Kevin Garnett immediately tied the game and after a couple misses from Carmelo and anot...
"I'm Coming To Kill You": OKC Ball Boy Not Happy With Westbrook Injury
When Russell Westbrook went down earlier this week with a potentially season-ending knee injury, basketball fans everywhere sighed loudly.

Taste Test: Popeyes Rip'n Chick'n. Who Thought This Was A Good Idea?
It began, one imagines, as a simple question, posed conspiratorially around a gleaming boardroom conference table in an upper floor of AFC Enterprises headquarters in Sandy Springs, Ga.: Why settle for chicken fingers, when you could have an entire horrifying rheumatoid chicken hand that you grimly ...
Russell Westbrook Will Undergo Surgery For A Torn Meniscus
The Oklahoma City Thunder announced today that Russell Westbrook tore his meniscus in the second quarter of Game 2 against Houston on Wednesday and is out indefinitely.

Here's A Picture Of Rick Pitino's New Tattoo
Pitino promised us that he would get a tattoo to commemorate his team's 2013 championship run, and he has followed through on that promise. It's a perfectly fine tattoo, I guess. Although we were hoping for something with a little more oomph. ...
The Arizona Sundogs Enter Day 6 In Their Sky Prison
Yesterday we brought you the story of a minor league hockey ticket promotion that has turned into a test of endurance. The sun has risen, we've hit hour 115, and the prisoners remain aloft until the Sundogs can hit their season ticket quota. But they're oh-so-close....

Marlins Tickets Are Basically Free, And Still No One's Going
You've got a second-year stadium and the worst attendance in the league. You've got the worst team in baseball. If you're the Marlins, how do you possibly make money? The answer, it seems, is to give away free tickets and hope people buy lots of beers....
Patrick Kane Successfully Completes Taxi Ride
A few days out from the playoffs (and a possible first-round matchup with Detroit), Patrick Kane is doing some shilling for Uber, a startup that allows you to order a car service via smartphone app. But perhaps more importantly for the Blackhawks forward, it doesn't require him or the driver to carr...
