I'm Obsessed With The Nashville Hot Chicken That Almost Killed Me
As a baby I gnawed on lemons with joy. I‘ve never been kind to my taste buds. Chain-eating Warhead candies, nibbling habaneros, taking dares on wasabi globs. Short of the really inhumane—nuking your innards with genetic monstrosity Scoville-freak peppers, which some people do, voluntarily, on camera...
Where In The World Is Sean Miller? (Not In Pittsburgh, Sorry Guy)
In the world of scoop-driven transaction reporting, it’s OK for a reporter to be wrong. It is not ideal, of course; it’s bad for credibility. But it’s inevitable. Sometimes you’re going to get bad information, or get used by a source with an agenda, and you’re hosed. The best thing to do in that sit...
Boo On Sevilla For Not Trying To Stop Messi With This Wacky Free-Kick Defense
With his nearly unlimited array of skills and his penchant for breaking down defenses even when they’re almost single-mindedly set up to stop him, Lionel Messi presents a unique threat to opponents. Unfortunately for his rivals, it’s difficult to dream up some newfangled tactic that could help bottl...
Errant Lionel Messi Shot Breaks A Fan's Wrist And Leaves Her Woozy
From the look of Raquel’s careful, handrail-aided steps, the slow wipe of her mouth, her collapse into a seat, and her dazed swaying as she attempts to pick herself up afterward, you’d think that the Villarreal-Barcelona match attendee had just realized, after puking up a quart or so of alcohol, tha...
Damian Lillard Has The Best Response To Kendrick Perkins Trying To Decapitate Him
While the crazy-as-hell first round of the NCAA Tournament was finishing up, there were a bunch of NBA games on last night. I know! I’m surprised too! In one of them, the Blazers played the sad sack Pelicans, and in the fourth quarter, Kendrick Perkins tried to pop Damian Lillard’s head off....
Adam LaRoche Says White Sox Asked Him To Stop Bringing His Son To The Clubhouse Altogether
Adam LaRoche has released a statement about his 14-year-old son Drake, his decision to walk away from the White Sox, team vice president Kenny Williams, family, baseball, character, morals, God, brands, and a whole bunch of other stuff....
Arizona's Sean Miller Sweated Through Your TV
I am a sweaty person. Not just a little, not merely a light sheen of perspiration on hot days or after after exercise, but sweaty. Rivulets become torrents become a full-body drenching at the first sniff of 90 degrees or after the mildest of exertions. I am a disgusting human being, more liquid than...
Looking Good, Sean Miller

Report: Dwight Howard Chose New Agent For Most Dwight Howard Reasons Possible
Dwight Howard is in the market for a new agent, after firing agent Dan Fegan in February. According to a report from Shams Charania, Howard is hiring an agent who doesn’t represent any current NBA players. So why’d Howard leave one of the more powerful agents in the game for somebody barely even in ...

Only Bill Simmons Is Allowed To Say Boston Might Want Kevin Durant
Hot sports-media beefing action today, as ESPN used the occasion of tonight’s game between the Thunder and the hosting Boston Celtics to note, on SportsCenter and in an article by Chris Forsberg, that the Boston Celtics probably would like to have 27-year-old four-time scoring champ, five-time All-N...
Adam LaRoche Retired Because The White Sox Wouldn't Let His Kid Hang Out In The Clubhouse Every Day
On Tuesday, Chicago White Sox first baseman Adam LaRoche announced, much to the relief of White Sox fans, that he would retire from baseball. It now appears that his decision was related less to his inability to hit at a major league level or to injuries than to his 14-year-old son, Drake. According...
Here's What Happens When A Pro Wrestler Gets Injured And The Ref Doesn't Notice
WWE up-and-comer Neville suffered what looks to be a knee or ankle injury during his bout against Chris Jericho last night on Raw.

NFL Official Admits For First Time There Is "Certainly" A Link Between Football And CTE
A top NFL official acknowledged for the first time a link between playing football and suffering from chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE), responding, “the answer to that question is certainly yes” when asked if there is a link. It’s akin to tobacco companies finally admitting that nicotine is ad...

The Ringer, Bill Simmons’s new venture, released its first newsletter today. The introduction featured an explanation for how the staff decided upon “The Ringer,” as well as a list of all the curve-related names....
Jose Bautista And The Phillie Phanatic Have A Fitness Contest
