Gustav Nyquist's No-Look Backhander Ties Up Colorado Stadium Series Game

Detroit tied up the Avalanche at tonight’s Stadium Series game in Colorado with a gorgeous goal by Gustav Nyquist—a no-look backhander that helped set the stage for the Red Wings to take the lead later in the third period. (As I write this, Colorado tied it back up again.)...

The Always-Cheerful Bob Huggins Calmly Affirms Official's Call

WVU coach Bob Huggins wasn’t so happy with a call late in the first half of the Mountaineers’ Big 12 battle against Oklahoma State, and he let the officials know it in the quietest and least-profane way possible....

Here's What A Motorized Doping Check Looks Like

Hey, cycling season started today! Unless you’re a hardcore devotee of the Tour of Qatar or you really love the Volta ao Algarve, this morning’s Omloop Het Nieuwsblad was the first real race of the season. Greg Van Avermaet took the win today, with a really impressive sprint where he dusted everyone...

Washington Football Team Sues Former Player For Extra Severance Pay They Accidentally Gave Him

H.B. Blades was a sixth-round pick from Pittsburgh who played four seasons for Washington as a linebacker. The team cut him in 2011, and formally paid him $40,000 in severance pay in September 2012. However, they also paid out that same sum a few months later, and they’ve been fighting in court ever...

DeMarcus Cousins And Chris Paul Are Still Going With The NBA's Most Vertically Offset Beef

Boogie Cousins and Chris Paul are probably the two most easily riled up dudes in the Pacific Division, so even though they don’t play the same position, it makes sense that they could very well find themselves beefing. They’re pretty good foils for each other, all told: both guys play with an unveil...

15-Year-Old American Chloe Kim Wins X-Games Gold With Highest Score In Superpipe History

Remember when Shaun White won an Olympic Gold and a bunch of X-Games titles before he could buy himself a beer? Well, it looks a lot like American snowboarding has found his successor; Chloe Kim, who’s 15, and has already won a bunch of halfpipe events. Two weeks ago, she won gold in the Superpipe a...

It's 2016 And You Can Still Watch Steve Yzerman Score On Patrick Roy

Ciccarelli. Ysebaert. Lidstrom. Primeau. Cheveldae. Growing up in northwest Ohio and well within the night-time range of Detroit’s WJR-AM, these Detroit Red Wings players were my earliest hockey heroes. The opportunity to see some of them skate again no doubt drives the NHL’s Alumni series, which th...

Fast-Food Smackdown: Burger King's Jalapeño Chicken Fries Vs. Taco Bell's Quesalupa

Life, being pain, will sometimes trap even the most careful fast-foodie in the burgerless hellscape of a bullshit “real” restaurant that offers six total options: beef, chicken, this kind of fish, that kind of fish, some mushroom-pasta thing, and a wild card that is probably duck or beans. The meat-...

About this time yesterday, it looked like free-agent outfielder Dexter Fowler was going to be a Baltimore Oriole:...

Every NYC Romantic Comedy Is Full Of Shit In The Exact Same Way

Our first mistake was going to see this thing when we did. A friend and I stumbled into a showing of How to Be Single after a few glasses of wine a few days after it hit theaters—the same weekend Deadpool opened. Our theater is a small one a few blocks away from my apartment in Williamsburg, Brookly...

Arkansas QB Trying To Stretch His Lil' Baby Hands In Order To Boost Draft Stock

I can’t imagine how stressful it must be to be a prospect at the NFL combine, where every aspect of your physical being is broken down and scrutinized in absurd detail, and the slightest deficiency can sink your draft stock. So it’s no wonder that Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen is stressed out a...

Arizona Coach Sean Miller On Court Storming: Someone's Going To Punch A Fan

No. 9 Arizona fell 75-72 to Colorado last night, the buzzer coming just after Allonzo Trier’s potential tying three clanged harmlessly away, and then, for the 10th time in the Wildcats’ last 11 road losses, the home fans charged the court....

Nate Diaz Accuses Conor McGregor Of Steroid Use At Impressively Ludicrous Press Conference

It’s late February and not much is going on in sports, so the press conference the UFC held today to promote Conor McGregor’s upcoming fight against Nate Diaz was the most entertaining happening of the day largely by default. Even so, it was really something, every bit as dumb as could be hoped....

Former British Olympian And Diehard Arsenal Fan Did Not React Well To Yesterday's Loss [Update: This Didn't Happen]

Update [11:01 a.m.]: Turns out, the tweeted picture showing the remote in the TV was a joke and not actually a picture of Sotherton’s TV. Sorry for the error. The original post is below....

Skins Confirm RGIII Is Done In Washington

In the least surprising NFL news since the league’s nine-figure “accounting error,” the Skins’ team president made it more or less official: Robert Griffin III’s tumultuous four-year stay in Washington is at an end....
