Dan Girardi Flattens Matt Calvert With Shoulder-To-Shoulder Check

For a brief moment in yesterday’s Blue Jackets-Lightning third period, veteran Tampa defenseman Dan Girardi brought back a lost art.

Enjoy Kristaps Porzingis Chasing Josh Jackson Around Like An Angry Storm Cloud

The Knicks beat the Suns last night behind another incredible offensive performance from young Kristaps Porzingis. The Suns have looked frisky since the firing of Earl Watson—that doesn’t make this some great win, but it does help make the case that the Knicks are not, in fact, complete trash. No. W...

LeBron James Devoured The Noisy Wizards

The context for LeBron’s 57-point masterpiece last night is something I, a devoted Wizards fan, would prefer to ignore—the Wizards spent portions of the spring and an interview with ESPN’s The Jump chirping that the Cavs ducked them in last season’s playoffs, and went so far as to say that they, the...

Auburn Takes The Easy Road, Lets AD Jay Jacobs Resign At His Convenience

After a 13-year run at Auburn that was equal parts success and scandal, Tigers athletic director Jay Jacobs made use of the Friday news dump to announce that he will retire either next June or whenever Auburn hires his replacement....

What's Gotten Into Grim And Gritty Ricky Rubio?

Have you seen Ricky Rubio lately? This isn’t the jovial, dime-dropping Spaniard from way back when. This is a man who’s seen things, who’s learned things the hard way, who’s decided to take matters into his own hands. This is the gritty reboot of Ricky Rubio....

Lance Stephenson Slaps LeBron In The Dick And Balls

Cleveland must have experienced some bizarre time warp tonight, because it’s the year 2017, and the Pacers’ Lance Stephenson is still making life extremely unpleasant for LeBron James.

Sixers Choose Not To Pick Up Last Year Of Jahlil Okafor's Contract

The Sixers have chosen not to pick up the $6.3 million option for the last year of Jahlil Okafor’s rookie contract. Drafted third overall in 2015, Okafor was an interesting offensive prospect but an immediate defensive liability, and often seemed sad and adrift on a Sixers roster clogged with young ...

The Dolphins Were Fed Up With Jay Ajayi And The Eagles Are Going For It

In October 2016, the Dolphins abandoned their running-back-by-committee approach and handed the featured role to Jay Ajayi, who transformed into one of the league’s best backs, kick-started the offense, and helped Miami make the playoffs for the first time in eight years.

The Cavaliers Stink!

Append all the ordinary caveats, of course: It’s October; they’re without Isaiah Thomas; they’re integrating what seems like a small army of new players; the East is so godawful shitty there’s basically no floor to playoff contention; and so on. Fine. But still. The Cleveland Cavaliers are not just ...

Los Angeles’s Travis Benjamin could have had only a minor miscue on his record if he had stayed where he was on the field after he picked up his own muffed punt, but nah, he had to try and create something better. In doing so, he inexplicably ran backwards almost 10 yards into his own end zone, gett...

Donovan Mitchell Is A Good Reason To Watch Utah Jazz Games

The Jazz hosted (and smoked) the Lakers last night, and you will be forgiven if this matchup didn’t strike you right away as a meeting of two of the most exciting rookie guards in the NBA. After all, the Jazz are good, and the Lakers are very much not good, and Donovan Mitchell, Utah’s prized rookie...

Will 60-Year-Old LeBron Still Be Able To Dunk?
