Ilya Bryzgalov Is Having A Grand Old Time Playing Angry Birds
Seemingly every goalie is either injured or terrible right now. It's a bad time to be a netminder. But not for Ilya Bryzgalov—he just discovered Angry Birds Star Wars....
Alexander Ovechkin Would Prefer Not To Play Defense

Phil Jackson Is Still Figuring Out This Whole Twitter Thing
Phil Jackson, or whoever is running Phil Jackson's account, has had an interesting run on Twitter. It started with a too-good-to-be-true debut that turned out to be a commercial and segued into book recommendations for Kobe Bryant. Now he's trying to congratulate George Karl on winning coach of the ...
Bill Simmons Is Sad About The Sports Emmys, So We Made A Prize For Him
It breaks our hearts whenever a big-name writerer—someone like Bill Simmons, or Chris Jones, or Jason Whitlock—doesn't get the temporal recognition from an elite sliver of elite opinion that he (and it's always he) demands. These men DESERVE their awards. They DESERVE to be showered in garlands and ...
Mike Woodson To J.R. Smith: "J.R., Goddammit!"
Everything about this clip is wonderful, and if J.R. Smith somehow makes it to the Hall of Fame one day, it should submitted to the hall in lieu of a plaque....
Borne Back Ceaselessly Into The Crap. <em>The Great Gatsby</em>, Reviewed.
1. I'm confused at to what Baz Luhrmann, the crazy over-the-top director of Moulin Rouge and Romeo + Juliet, would possibly want with The Great Gatsby. Well, I see why he might like it as a theoretical challenge: What ambitious filmmaker (and Luhrmann is nothing if not ambitious) wouldn't want to tr...
NFL Players' Sex House At Center Of Shooting Investigation
Let's make this clear up front: No NFL players are connected to last summer's shooting outside Orlando that left a 15-year-old girl with severe brain damage.

Kris Letang Cross-Checked A Linesman. That's A Suspension...Right?
Between Eric Gryba getting two games for a borderline hit that resulted in injury, and nobody from this Sens-Habs mess being punished, NHL playoff discipline seems even more "spin the wheel" than usual. But shoving an official would seem pretty clear-cut, no?...

White Sox Pitcher Hector Santiago Forgets His Turn To Bat
Hector Santiago pitched so well last night that the Mets' Matt Harvey didn't even get the win even though he took a perfect game into the seventh inning. But when he was due to hit with two outs in the sixth, Santiago was nowhere to be found. Stupid interleague play....
Titus Young Will Take A Nap In Your AT&T Store
Titus Young isn't the kind of player to flame out in half-assed fashion. Oh no no no, when the man goes full turd, he REALLY goes full turd. And now here's a story from reader Ryan Randolph in which Titus Sr. takes his career immolation to another level by doing the whole Reese Witherspoon bit: ...
Kevin Durant's Crossover And Slam: Completely Unfair
Why can a 6-foot-11 guy with unlimited shooting range also dance by his opponent with a filthy crossover at the top of the key before gliding into the paint for a monster dunk? Because, as we've said before, Kevin Durant is more of a walking cheat code than he is a basketball player. That's really ...
