Sad Sixers Make Sad Pizza Deal Even Sadder
In October, Papa John's announced one of those standard promotions they run where if the Sixers win a game, fans get 50 percent off their pizza. They've wisely changed that threshold to "if the Sixers score 90 points, even in a loss."...
Watch Jason Kidd Play Mind Games With Joe Johnson

Looks Like Sunday's Bills Game Will Be Moved [Update: Yep]
It's still snowing in Western New York. (What the fuck, snow.) The Bills remain scheduled to play the Jets, but people are dying and trapped and stranded and there's probably no real reason 70,000 people should be on the road at the same time on Sunday. It's sounding like sanity is beginning to prev...
Meet <em>Marca</em>, The Hilarious Propaganda Arm Of Real Madrid
It's maybe a little difficult for Americans to grasp just how deeply and blatantly in the tank the European press can be for the local XI.

Giannis Antetokounmpo Has A New Weapon
Giannis Antetokounmpo has been having a quiet but solid year as the Bucks' 6-foot-11 guard-forward hybrid. He's averaging 12 points and six rebounds in 26 minutes per game—good numbers that any 19-year-old in just his second NBA season would be proud of—but what's more impressive is how quickly Ante...
Alleged Rapist Bill Cosby Bullies Reporter, Explains How Life Works

The Chargers Are Still Trying To Hide Philip Rivers's Injury

His coach said he wasn't injured. Gates claimed he had been misquoted. Then, yesterday, Rivers showed up on the injury report with...
Ron Hextall To Flyers: "That's Fucking Embarrassing"
Ron Hextall was legendarily fiery in his goaltending days, and was brought in to be Flyers GM in the hopes of turning around the fortunes of a franchise that could probably use a kick in the pants—or, this being Hextall, a stick in the grill. After a listless loss to the Rangers, the Flyers players ...

The Bills Are Planning To Play On Sunday Despite Being Relocated To Hoth
The bands of lake effect snow that have buried Western New York are not done—another couple of feet will fall tomorrow, meaning parts of the region will be covered in up to eight feet of snow. There's a football game scheduled for Orchard Park on Sunday, and the Bills are going to do everything ...
Let Jaden Smith Live, Though Maybe Don't Let Him Rap
So on account of this bonkers T Magazine joint interview with his equally loopy sister, my colleagues have spent the better part of the week uncouthly debating the merits of one Jaden Smith, son of Will and Jada, brother of Willow, shaky actor, convulsing rapper, amateur philosopher ("There's a th...
Here's Fred Jackson Tossing His Kids Into A Big Pile Of Buffalo Snow
Tuesdays are off days for NFL players, and days that include the onset of a storm that will bring sixish feet of snow are snow days for kids. With that coincidence in mind, here's Fred Jackson being a fun dad and tossing his kids in some bigass piles of snow. ...

Kansas Coach Bill Self Takes 32-Point Beatdown With Humor
Bill Self's Kansas Jayhawks were the fifth ranked team in the country going into Tuesday night's matchup against Kentucky, but they won't be for much longer after getting whooped 72-40.

Lemon Asks Alleged Cosby Rape Victim Why She Didn't Bite Off His Dick
