Are The Lightning So Good That They Didn't Need To Get Better?
Every Cup winner since 2010 has made a deadline (or deadlineish) trade. The Lightning stood pat. So either Tampa Bay is going to regret not trying to make the NHL’s best team just a little better, or they’re going to buck some recent history. But, then again, no Cup winner, no team, since 2010 or ev...

DeMarcus Cousins Hit With Really Dumb Technical Foul For Hurling Opponent's Shoe Into Crowd
DeMarcus Cousins has received many technical fouls in his career, and the majority of them have been well-earned. This one, from Monday night’s Warriors win over the Hornets, was 100 percent, Grade-A bologna. Cousins, checking Cody Zeller away from the ball and out near the arc, noticed Jeremy Lamb’...

Sweet Towering Prince Boban Marjanovic Injured In Nasty Fall
Late in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s narrow road win over the Pelicans, huge galoot Boban Marjanovic got tangled up with Pelicans not-nearly-as-big man Cheick Diallo going for a loose ball. Boban’s right leg got folded up between Diallo’s legs, and twisted hideously as the two players fell t...
Tennis Prodigy Félix Auger-Aliassime Is Past The Internet Hype And Looks Like The Truth
As of today there are only two teenagers in the top 100 of men’s tennis. The game skews older than ever, and a player breaking into its top tier before even fully growing into his body has never seemed more difficult. There are no more Rafa-like wunderkinds ripping off major titles, and as baseline ...

Why Is Baseball's Biggest Drama So Damned Boring?

Ja Rule Puts A Curse On The Timberwolves, Which Has To Be Worth, What, At Least A Couple Extra Wins
Ja Rule performed as Saturday night’s halftime entertainment at the Timberwolves-Bucks game in Milwaukee. My favorite part of this is that whoever booked him did so as part of a “90s Night” promotion. Ja Rule’s debut album, the dreadful Venni Vetti Vecci, came out on June 1, 1999....
Christian Hackenberg’s AAF Career Isn’t Going Much Better Than His NFL One

The Baby Knicks Are Showing Signs Of Becoming A Functional Basketball Team
The New York Knicks toppled the San Antonio Spurs 130-118 on Sunday night to snap an 18-game home losing streak. In and of itself, that’s a pretty shocking development, but even more so when you consider that the Knicks are in full-on tank mode in the race for the thankfully-not-too-injured Zion Wil...
Sports Are For Crying Because Your Friend Got Traded Away
Professional sports are a job, but in many ways very much unlike other jobs. Your teammates are more than co-workers; you work together, but you also socialize together, travel together, practically (and sometimes literally) live together. For half of the season you’re on the road together, sharing ...

Chelsea Goalie Invented A New Way To Disrespect Maurizio<em></em> Sarri In The League Cup Final<em></em>
As the final minutes of extra time in the Carabao Cup final ticked away, the action started to reach levels that had not been seen all game.
