You Should Have Sex to Maxwell’s <i>Urban Hang Suite</i>
There’s a handful of artists who universally earn a spot on everyone’s sex playlists. Janet, Sade, Prince, etc. Their slow jams, classic and fuck-to-able, are made for cramming between the likes of the new Rihanna (“Yeah I Said It”) and that one flawless Weeknd song you squirm along to (“Earned It”)...

Man Surpasses Other Man
A man made a bunch of dunks Thursday night, surpassing another man who’d previously had the most dunks. That’s gotta burn for that second man, the one being surpassed! Oh yeah. ...

Lawsuit: Baylor Took No Action To Investigate Rape Involving Football Player
A former Baylor student is suing the university, saying that it took no action on her report that a football player raped her. That former player, Tevin Elliott, is serving 20 years in prison for his 2014 conviction for sexually assaulting her. The lawsuit also asserts that the university already kn...

Jason Chimera Jabs Shayne Gostisbehere With His Stick
Jason Chimera waited for the right opportunity to deliver a cheap shot on Flyers defenseman Shayne Gostisbehere after the whistle in the second period of Wednesday night’s game. The Capitals winger made sure the nearby linesman wasn’t looking before he put the butt-end of his stick into Gostisbehere...

Please Be Careful When Reaching For A Steph Curry Autograph
Or else you might end up at the bottom of a big pile of rabid Jazz fans....

Marcelo Huertas Pulls Off The Sneakiest Play In The History Of Basketball
Lakers “rookie” (he’s almost 33) Marcelo Huertas is the craftiest man in the NBA, and I will brook no dissent. Look at this shit!...

The Cavaliers' Head Coach Might Have A Mutiny On His Hands
Cleveland Cavaliers head coach LeBron James was typically hands-on and vocal while leading his team to a loss to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night. It’s tough to pin all responsibility for the loss on James, though, seeing as he was without his best player, forward LeBron James. More worrisome th...

Russell Westbrook On Reggie Jackson's Celebration: "Some Real Bullshit"
Last night’s game mattered a hell of a lot more to the Pistons than it did to the Thunder. OKC is locked into the third seed in the West, and rested Kevin Durant and Serge Ibaka. Detroit is sitting in the seven-spot in the East and their odds of making the postseason look good after pulling away fro...

Syria Score An Especially Painful And Embarrassing Own Goal
All own goals are painful for those who score them. This one, though, scored when Syria’s keeper punched a cross straight into teammate Hamdi Al Masri’s face for the ball to ricochet back into their own net, had to hurt even worse than normal, physically as well as psychically:...

Drew Hutchison Gets Smoked By His Own Catcher
This time last year, Blue Jays pitcher Drew Hutchison was getting ready to start on Opening Day. Yesterday, he found himself making his final start of spring training, with one last chance to secure a spot in the big-league rotation. Things were going okay for about four innings, until Hutchison had...

L.A. Police Chase Ends With Carjacking Suspect Attempting To Steal Police Cruiser
Los Angeles never fails to disappoint. Here’s some San Fernando Valley action from this evening, in which a carjacking suspect gets cornered after a PIT maneuver and proceeds to go straight GTA, hopping into the police cruiser. She didn’t get far!...

Cubs Spring Training Game Overrun By Bees
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice. I say it will end when our bee overlords choose to end it. That might already be underway at Sloan Park during this afternoon’s Cubs-Mariners game. Jason Heyward was the first victim, and he had to climb the outfield fence to avoid them....

Boban Marjanovic Executes Slowest Dunking-On In NBA History
Gregg Popovich rested his starters last night in Oklahoma City, or rather, he unleashed Boban Marjanovic on the Thunder. He didn’t exactly play very well (somehow he only grabbed six rebounds?), but he did manage to pull off the most glacial dunk of the 2016 season, over 60 percent of OKC’s starting...

Get A Load Of This Wondergoal Jamie Vardy Scored Against Germany
This right here is a real beauty. Nathaniel Clyne hit a perfect cross to Jamie Vardy, who did a little bit of magic to backheel it past a spinning Manuel Neuer without even looking at the damn goal. ...

Penn State Coach James Franklin Destroys Easter Bunny Piñata With Flying Tackle
Happy Easter everyone!...

Madison Bumgarner And Jason Heyward's Beef Wasn't Really A Beef At All
Madison Bumgarner’s on-mound demeanor could be described using many different words; I’ll go with “cantankerous,” but depending upon your perspective anything from “fired-up” to “dickish” can be appropriate. So when Jason Heyward stood around seemingly staring at Bumgarner after taking a called thir...

LeBron James Can't Do It All Himself
The team with the best record in the East got rolled in the fourth quarter by the team with the second-worst, and if it’s not quite time for the Cavaliers to panic, it’s well past time to worry about a roster that seems primed to fail at any time....

This Is One Dumb Technical Foul
Refs blew it twice in one play tonight as Maryland’s Jake Layman wasn’t whistled for a double dribble on his first-half dunk against Kansas, but earned a technical foul for hanging on the rim. There’s a good reason Layman didn’t immediately let go after the straight-on two-handed dunk, and the techn...

James Rodríguez Is Out To Prove He's Still The Shit
Nobody in Madrid much likes Colombian superstar James Rodríguez. His teammates don’t like him, his coach doesn’t like him, the fans don’t like him, the president doesn’t like him, even the local cops don’t like him. At a career crossroad of sorts, with his talent unquestioned but his dedication and ...

Johan Cruyff, The Man Who Invented Modern Soccer, Dies At 68
It would be impossible to even approach summing up the totality of Johan Cruyff’s unparalleled influence and contributions to the game of soccer in one blog post. First as the best player on the planet suiting up for Ajax, Barcelona, and the Dutch national team in the 1960s and 1970s, and later as a...
