ESPN Radio Dork Says Deshaun Watson Needed To "Dress Better" At Clemson Game
Jared Stillman hosts a sports radio show on ESPN’s Nashville affiliate. He also, judging by a tweet he sent out during Monday night’s national championship game between Clemson and Alabama, appears to be a bit of a dingdong....

Woman Alleges Cristiano Ronaldo Threatened to Have Her Body "Cut Up" And "Thrown In A River" [Update]
Last September, Kathryn Mayorga revealed publicly that she was the woman who had accused soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo of rape in 2010, leading to an out-of-court settlement that was first reported by German newspaper Der Spiegel in 2017. Mayorga cast aside her anonymity in September to recount her...
Idiot On The Court Rudely Upstages Nikola Jokic's Game-Winner
Nikola Jokic dumped in a highly Jokic-esque bucket with 2.4 seconds remaining Tuesday night to beat the Miami Heat. It was goofy and ugly and I’m sure Heat fans hated it all the more for looking like total luck, but anyway it went in and that’s just how it goes:...
Jameis Winston-Liker Bruce Arians Will Un-Retire To Coach The Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have landed Bruce Arians as their next head coach, to replace the recently fired Dirk Koetter. The coaching carousel is spinning away: Arians will reportedly bring the recently fired Todd Bowles to Tampa as his defensive coordinator, while Koetter is returning to the Falcons...
Report: New USC Offensive Coordinator Kliff Kingsbury Is Now New Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury
It feels like barely even a month ago that Kliff Kingsbury departed his head coaching gig at Texas Tech and arrived at USC to be the Trojans’ new offensive coordinator. But now, after a remarkable run that saw USC go 0-0 and Kingsbury’s offense put up #DIV/0! yards per game, the 39-year-old is heade...
Brook "Splash Mountain" Lopez Can Now Put A Game Away From 28 Feet
As the NBA shifts almost unilaterally towards a threes-and-layups utopia, scores of big men trained in the old ways have been left behind, collecting dust as relics of an era where low-post scoring was actually worth pursuing. Roy Hibbert, Zach Randolph, Greg Monroe... these dinosaurs have either be...
Humiliating Faceplant Is Just The Beginning Of Jamal Murray's Sudden Basketball Death
The indignity doesn’t end with Jamal Murray getting dropped like a sack of dirt by a James Harden behind-the-back dribble. Oh no. It gets worse from there:...
Steve Smith, Who Showboated While Losing, Chides Deshaun Watson For Showboating While Losing
Steve Smith has made his transition from cantankerous NFL player to cantankerous NFL pundit, and over the weekend he treated Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson the way he used to treat opposing defensive backs....
So That's It For Joe Flacco In Baltimore
Lamar Jackson’s Ravens saw their season end on Sunday with a 23-17 Wild Card home loss to the Chargers, in a game that was very much a learning experience for Jackson. Though a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter made the contest competitive, for the majority of the day Baltimore’s rookie quart...
The Seahawks Will Have To Finish Out A Playoff Game Without A Kicker
Seahawks kicker Seabastian Janikowski injured his leg on a missed 57-yard field goal attempt at the end of the first half of tonight’s defensive struggle against the Cowboys, and Seattle has apparently decided that they don’t trust star punter Michael Dickson to attempt even extra points....
Report: Kliff Kingsbury Could Pay His Own Buyout At USC To Pursue NFL Head-Coaching Jobs
USC’s offensive coordinator, Kliff Kingsbury, could resign from his position with the program so that he can get a fair shot at following his NFL aspirations, according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio....
Jared Allen's Curling Team Of Ex-NFLers Is Starting From The Bottom And Aiming For The Olympics
It doesn’t happen with skeleton or short track speed skating, and definitely not ski jumping, because we all have families that love us. But we’ve all thought about it while watching Olympic curling: How hard can it be? The calculated walking. The histrionic screams. Pushing the rock, or whatever it...
The Bond Between Jamal Murray And Nikola Jokic Is Pure And Righteous
All the Nuggets enjoy a life-sustaining relationship with their star. Witness the Denver offense at its best when the wings are satellites orbiting around their big soft sun, Nikola Jokic. He hangs doughy and resplendent in the high post, watching them whirl and cut, waiting for them to align just r...
James Harden Is The Most Valuable Damn Player
There are perfectly good reasons to root against both the Golden State Warriors and the Houston Rockets. The Warriors have Kevin Durant and Draymond Green and are a juggernaut; the Rockets have James Harden and Chris Paul and play maybe the least interesting brand of basketball of any worth-a-shit N...
Kawhi Leonard Turned Off The Jazz
Kawhi Leonard buried the Jazz under the most assaultive offensive output of his career on Tuesday, hanging an alarmingly efficient 45 points on 16-of-22 shooting in a 122-116 win. The Raptor-for-now ascended to a higher plane in his 19-point third quarter, sinking every shot he attempted. He did all...
James Harden Is On An Unholy Tear Right Now
The Houston Rockets—who this season have been dead, not dead, and dead again—are decidedly no longer dead. Since getting spit-roasted by Luka Dončić, Houston has gone 10-1, with the lone loss a two-point squeaker in Miami. Chris Paul tweaked his hamstring, again, in that game, yet it hasn’t mattered...
Lamar Jackson And The Retooled Ravens Completed Their Romp To The Playoffs
For all the sublime football the Chiefs, Rams, and Saints provided us this year, the most entertaining aspect of the season may have been the Baltimore Ravens’ transformation from fodder for the rest of AFC into the NFL’s scariest War Rig. They beat the Browns today, 26-24, to clinch a playoff berth...
Tom Coughlin Rips Leonard Fournette And T.J. Yeldon For Sitting On The Bench All Day
The Jaguars’ miserable and noxious season came to an end today, but not without one final reminder of how dysfunctional the team is from top to bottom. ...
