Alexandre Lacazette Is Injured And Arsenal Might Be Screwed
Arsenal came into this past weekend’s must-win North London Derby and proceeded to get comprehensively smashed up by their fiercest rivals in a manner that would’ve cratered the Gunners’ confidence if not for the fact that it’s been evident for so long now that Tottenham are simply a much better tea...
Old Geezer Dirk Nowitzki Dunked Himself Onto The Injured List
Old, old man Dirk Nowitzki had himself a bit of a throwback game against the Los Angeles Lakers Saturday night. In 24 minutes of action—just about all his body can handle, at this point—Nowitzki knocked home eight of 11 shot attempts, including all four of his looks from beyond the arc, to score 22 ...
Bobby Portis Plays Role In Derrick Rose-To-Wizards Conspiracy To Perfection
Saturday night, with the Bulls hosting the Wizards, teammate puncher Bobby Portis sent not one but both available Wizards point guards to the locker room with bloody head wounds. Clearly, clearly, this is part of the grand conspiracy to bring Derrick Rose to the Washington Wizards. ...
A Tearful Dustin Brown Retires From Match After Back Injury
Germany’s Dustin Brown, the wackiest motherfucker in tennis, was only three points away from winning his first-round match at Montpellier against Nicolas Mahut when a crafty one-handed, backhand passing shot appeared to cause his back to seize up.

MMA Fighter Knocks Himself Out Trying To Throw His Opponent Down

This Short Film Is A Good Argument Against Football
This NFL season has had its share of highlights, like when Titans QB Marcus Mariota threw a touchdown pass to himself or Eagles kicker Jake Elliott nailed a 61-yard, game-winning field goal at the buzzer, but I think I’ll remember those as much, if not less, as I will Texans QB Tom Savage twitching ...
For Horrific Injuries, The Image Is The Story
Suns guard Isaiah Canaan suffered an ankle injury in Wednesday’s game against the Mavericks, but “ankle injury” is putting it lightly. That it was immediately described with the words “Gordon Hayward-like” might provide a clue to the severity, or maybe it’s the image in which the heel of Canaan’s f...
Isaiah Canaan Goes Down With Gruesome Leg Injury
Suns guard Isaiah Canaan left tonight’s game against the Mavericks after suffering a brutal leg injury while driving to the basket. It’s somewhat reminiscent of Gordon Hayward’s season-ending ankle fracture from opening night; I can’t describe it in any more definitive detail, because I could not wa...
Report: Eric Wood's Retirement Delayed Due To Bonus Money Dispute

Add Andre Roberson To The List Of Important NBA Players Lost To Season-Ending Injuries
Andre Roberson takes a lot of shit for being among the worst non-center shooters in the NBA, and for how that lack of shooting has, in the past, badly cramped the spacing for certain Oklahoma City Thunder lineups. Those inclined towards giving him shit will be relieved, then, to learn that he will b...
Mike Conley And The Grizzlies Are Done For The Season
Injuries are chewing up this NBA season.

Saturday Conley was o...
DeMarcus Cousins's Injury Fucking Blows
Last season, the trade of DeMarcus Cousins from Sacramento to New Orleans realigned the league just in time to lend some shape to the NBA’s annual trade deadline; the feelings of Sacramento Kings fans notwithstanding, that was a vastly happier way for Cousins to find himself functioning as the start...

Simona Halep Has Weathered Everything
Simona Halep will play the Australian Open final. On its face, the fact of that doesn’t seem particularly remarkable or surprising. She is after all, the highest-ranked player in the world, the top seed at this tournament, and only a few months removed from her last major final. She has yet to lose ...
