We've Got Some Beef Over Who Gets To Carry The American Flag In The Opening Ceremony
Yesterday, luger Erin Hamlin was named the U.S. flag bearer for Friday’s opening ceremony.

PYEONGCHANG, South Korea — It’s about 36 hours before the Opening Ceremony and in a stadium in the coastal city of Gangneung, there’s a packed house for the first event of the 2018 Olympics: mixed doubles curling. I assumed everyone in attendance would be there to extrapolate geopolitical tensions f...
LeBron Puts Together Goddamn Ridiculous Final 30 Seconds For Cavaliers Win
Tonight’s Timberwolves-Cavaliers game was stupidly fun on several fronts—an NBA record 40 three-pointers, for one thing; a total of 34 lead changes, for another—but the fact that it ended with an insane series of LeBron James plays, each more dazzling than the last, was maybe the most fun of all. ...

Video Replay Thwarted When Flag-Waving Fan Blocks Camera
Video replay in soccer, as in all sports, sucks. This is true mostly for philosophical reasons, but also for logistical ones, too. Like when this Boavista fan inadvertently boned their own team by waving a huge flag that blocked the camera angle that probably would’ve invalidated the opponent’s goal...
Witness: Vince McMahon Stared Down Groping Accuser For 45 Minutes From His Car
A week and a half ago, The Daily Beast ran an article, missed by some because it dropped on a Friday evening, reporting on the largely forgotten 2006 groping allegations against Vince McMahon. What made the case newsworthy again was that while McMahon was never charged with assaulting the Florida ...

Agent Bob LaMonte has withdrawn from representing Josh McDaniels in the wake of McDaniels’s 11th-hour decision to stay with the Patriots.

Mixed Doubles Is Curling's Breezier, Equally Fun Version, And It Starts Tonight
Get jazzed: Curling will soon be on TV again in large amounts, the way the snow sports deities intended. For the 2018 Winter Olympics, there’s even more curling—not just because it’s great, but because a new variant has been added to the program, airing before the traditional four-person team curlin...
What Comes After Kristaps For The Knicks?
What Giannis Antetokounmpo did to the Knicks was cool as hell and involved leaping over an entire man. What Giannis’s torso did to the Knicks, due to purely incidental contact, was as ghastly as that was cool: Kristaps Porzingis landed awkwardly after dunking over him and tore his left ACL....
Let's Remember Some Winter Olympians
