NRA Secretly Backs Group Aiming To Save Elephants Now, Kill Them Later

Oregon: We Have The Right To Access A Rape Victim's Medical Records

Jason Smith's Dancing Is The Only Redeeming Thing About The Knicks

Hassan Whiteside: Alex Len Mad "Because I Just Kept Dunking On Him"
Who knew the Heat and Suns loathed each other so much? Monday night's game was chippy—Markieff Morris flagrantly fouled former teammate Goran Dragic, and a few minutes later, Hassan Whiteside and Alex Len wrestled on the court. (Officials ejected Morris, Len, and Whiteside for their roles.) After th...
This Fake Rugby Pass Is Outrageous
This is such a sick ball fake by Rangi Chase of the Salford Red Devils. He actually tosses the ball a little bit with his right hand before grabbing it with his left and continuing to run. The fake is sold so completely you can see both defenders break down into a tackling stance. I need to watch mo...
Hassan Whiteside Tackles Alex Len To The Floor In A Real NBA Fight
Hassan Whiteside fought just to make it to the NBA. He only played 111 minutes for the Kings in his first two seasons after being drafted, before he was waived.

Ronda Rousey Isn't The Female Anyone; She's The First Ronda Rousey
On Saturday night, undefeated UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey took on Cat Zingano, a strong and undefeated fighter in her own right, and one of maybe two women alive who, on paper at least, possibly had a chance to at least maybe show Rousey something. Then the fight started, and it b...
Joffrey Lupul Legit Pissed At Joke Tweet That Made It To TSN
It has been a rough deadline day for TSN. Yesterday, Dustin Penner was pulled from his planned appearance for making some rape jokes on Twitter. Today, the network angered Maple Leafs winger Joffrey Lupul by airing a tweet implying he's sleeping with Elisha Cuthbert, wife of teammate Dion Phaneuf....
Anthony Mason Was From The Future
We'll mostly remember Anthony Mason for toughness, the way that we remember the Riley-era Knicks teams on which he made his reputation. Which, fine. He got in fights, on- and off-court; he deployed his elbows and extra-large ass with abandon and occasional malice; he glowered and wheedled and pro...

The NHL trade deadline is at 3 p.m. EST, and if not another deal gets done, it will have already been a satisfyingly busy trade window. But the fact that so many big names have already moved is a great sign for fans of deadline chaos: the buyers remaining are running out of sellers, so prices should...
Dustin Penner Loses TV Gig After Rape Jokes
Free agent Dustin Penner, who has probably reached the end of his shelf life as an NHL player, isn't having much more luck with TV. Scheduled to be a part of TSN's trade deadline coverage, he's now off the schedule thanks to some ill-advised tweets....
