Bucks Fans Purchase Billboard Urging Team To Tank
Remember this: for how awful and dumb the Knicks were last night, they were still better than the Bucks. There's not a lot of short-term hope in Milwaukee, so some concerned fans have paid for a billboard that would seem to emphasize lottery balls over basketballs....
What You're Expecting, But More So: <em>Anchorman 2</em>, Reviewed.
1. When did the tide start to turn on Ron Burgundy?

Verne Lundquist Will Straight Up Steal Your Lady
Sports Illustrated's Richard Deitsch dropped his annual media awards column today, and there's plenty of good stuff in there for anyone who wants to take a look back at the best and worst of sports media from the last year.

Damian Lillard And Kyrie Irving Are Why NBA League Pass Exists
It's games like last night's heart-stopper between the Trailblazers and the Cavaliers that remind basketball fans just how spoiled they are. In an era that's blessed by the presence of megastars like LeBron James and Kevin Durant, it's silly to think that there's a whole secondary tier of stars who...

André Villas-Boas Out At Tottenham After Humiliating Loss
Well, that was fast. Today, Tottenham Hotspur have announced that André Villas-Boas and the club have mutually agreed to terminate his contract on the heels of a 5-0 home routing at the hands of Liverpool. This is his second mid-season sacking in three seasons, and we wouldn't be surprised if he nev...
Why Didn't The Cowboys Just Run The Damn Ball?
When the pass-happy Cowboys offense works, it really works. And when it doesn't, like in yesterday's crushing come-from-ahead loss to the Packers that denied Dallas first place in the division, the failure tends toward the spectacular. The Cowboys spent an entire half with a huge lead throwing the b...
Thom Brennaman Doesn't Realize He's On TV
People dipping out of frame is always funny. Thom Brennaman reinforces this statement, and Brian Billick pulling him back in makes it even funnier....
The Jaguars Can Still Technically Make The Playoffs
The Jacksonville Jaguars were sucking at a historic rate back when they were 0-8, but after a bye, they've won four of their last five. Somehow, in a complicated scenario, the Jags still technically have a chance of getting a playoff spot. Six teams would have to majorly fuck up and Jacksonville wo...
Never Let A Cop In Your House: The Will Graves Story
This story is so stupid, I feel bad making you read it, but it's a teachable moment.

The Return Of Marvin Williams Was More Important Than We Thought
Remember Kobe's weird video announcing his comeback with his Lakers jersey writhing around set to epic music? (And how it went on for far too long?) A clever Utah Jazz fan created a similar production for Wednesday's return of future Hall of Famer Marvin Williams, who came back from a four-game abse...
In Case You Didn't Already Know, Recruiting Is Insane
Sam Farmer has a great piece in the L.A. Times on the difference between coaching in college football and the NFL. He interviews guys who have done both, like Pete Carroll, June Jones, Barry Switzer, and Chip Kelly, but the breakout star is easily Jerry Glanville....
Amir Williams Almost Said "Dick" On TV And It's Hysterical
Amir Williams had 12 points, nine rebounds and six blocks in Ohio State's 86-48 pounding of the Bryant Bulldogs. After the game, Williams was asked to tell viewers what's been most responsible for his great play of late and he almost said "coach Matta, he's been on my dick." ...
The 2013 Hater's Guide To The Williams-Sonoma Catalog
I have a house and, like most houses, it’s an unfinished work. There are cracks in the paint. There are piles of old clothes and shoes exploding out of the laundry room, which doubles as a storage room because we don’t have a storage room. The walls in our bedroom are bare because we haven’t had tim...
