Carmelo Anthony Is Going To Be A Luxury Timepiece Columnist

Sad Derrick Rose, Likely Out For Season, Gets Sued By Newly Obese Fan
It just keeps getting worse for Derrick Rose fans. The Chicago Bulls point guard tore his ACL in the first round of the 2012 playoffs, and we haven't seen him in a game since.

Jean Segura Stole Second Base, Then Got Caught Trying To Steal Second

Chris Duhon Vs. Rec Leaguer: An Indicted Art Mogul's $50K Bad Beat
I've never been invited to one of those high-end poker games hosted by Helly Nahmad's pals, but I do know he's a gambling man.

Marcus Vick Is Still Acting Like A Dumbass On Twitter

People Covering A <em>Marathon</em> Bombing Are Being Told To Stick To Sports
The Boston Marathon is a sporting event, and so it stands to reason that sports media outlets are covering the fatal bombing near the race's finish line yesterday. This does not sit well with the internet's "stick to sports" brigade, which will not rest until sports are stuck to, stubbornly....
Yeah, This Might Be The Worst Penalty Kick Ever
As you watch this video, note that the penalty free kick taker is not Pilo, the lower-level Brazilian soccer player who would go on to bring shame to his entire family. Pilo is the one who goes for the rebound, flops horribly, then takes the PK....

Goodbye, Dirk Nowitzki's Out-Of-Control Beard
The damn thing lasted almost three months. The Mavericks swore to grow beards, bushy, unwieldy beards, until they got to .500. It wasn't easy, but with last night's win, the Mavs have crawled all the way back to respectability. As soon as the buzzer sounded, Dirk Nowitzki, the mountain manliest of D...
