The Beat Generation Starter Kit
The Beats were the Nirvana of their generation: individualistic, drug-addled, and, unfortunately, sometimes held responsible for the Nickelbacks created in their wake. Beats begat beatniks, those beret-wearing, saxophone-loving hipsters who morphed into gross ’60s hippies. And now this loose collect...
LeBron James Would Have Willingly Switched Positions If Joe Johnson Signed With The Cavs
While the Golden State Warriors try to achieve the best regular season in NBA history, LeBron James is in a weird place. He wants a championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers so badly, and it’s consuming him to the point where he’s sending abstruse tweets about success and pulling your weight. When t...
ESPN Falls For Fake Jay Glazer Tweet About Olivier Vernon Signing With The Jaguars
ESPN’s NFL Live bit hard on a fake tweet about defensive end Olivier Vernon signing with the Jacksonville Jaguars today. Trey Wingo broke the “news” from “Fox Sports,” threw it to Adam Schefter for details (on a signing that didn’t occur), and opened it up to the panel. There’s something perfect abo...
Did The Warriors Break LeBron James?
The Cleveland Cavaliers aren’t winning the NBA title this season. You know it, I know it, and somewhere deep down, Cavs forward and baldness cure test subject LeBron James has to know it, too. He has to know that he’s only got a few more years left in him, and those years are likely to be spent watc...
Fourth Yomiuri Giants Pitcher Admits To Betting On Baseball
Japan’s professional baseball league was hit by a betting scandal this past fall, when a Nippon Professional Baseball investigation revealed that three pitchers on the Yomiuri Giants had bet on games. Now a fourth pitcher, reliever Kyosuke Takagi, has admitted to betting on games, as well as lying t...
Irritable Bearded Men Fight At Blue Jackets Game
Two clowns at Tuesday’s Red Wings-Blue Jackets game argued and threw punches at each other before security intervened. It’s unclear what prompted the brawl, but it was most likely very important....
Hmmmmmm. LeBron James And Kyrie Irving Sent Some Cryptic Tweets. Hmmmmmmm.
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics 120-103 on Saturday, and one would assume that such a victory would have put everyone in the locker room in a good mood. Maybe it did, but it also put LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in the mood to do some subtweeting....
James Harden, Just What The Hell Are You Doing On This Play?
There are two critical facts that need to be laid out in order to establish the context of the above play: 1) When this happened, the Rockets were up two with less than three minutes left in the game, and the game had just resumed after a timeout; and 2) The Rockets have yet to mention anything abou...
NFL Player Earl Wolff Was Kidnapped At Gunpoint Last Month In North Carolina
Earl Wolff, a safety out of N.C. State who has played for the Eagles and the Jaguars, was the victim of an armed kidnapping on February 23.

Cal And Their Megatalented Freshmen Are Going To Be A Nightmare In The NCAA Tournament
This has been a particularly strong year for Pac-12 basketball. Oregon came out of sorta-nowhere and won the conference title, but below them, Utah has been excellent, as has Arizona. Colorado, Washington, and USC all should make the NCAA Tournament too, but the scariest team in the whole conference...
LeBron, You Okay, Bud?
LeBron James might be going through some shit right now....
The Knicks Made Carmelo Anthony Apologize For The Dumbest Thing
Ah yes, we’re finally right back where we belong, in a world where the New York Knicks aren’t a surprising feel-good story, but a bumbling franchise that specializes in pulling bad PR out of thin air. I’m actually surprised it took us this long to get back here....
Jaromir Jagr Gave Up His 10 Cups Of Coffee Per Day For Lent
I am starting to think that Jaromir Jagr has an unhealthy relationship with caffeine. Long known as a militant Diet Coke drinker—at least five a day, “no vitamins, nothing”—Jagr this year switched to coffee, and upped his intake to what for a normal human would be a frightening quantity of the stuff...
Carmelo Anthony Tells Heckler To Go Bother Knicks Owner Instead
The excitement of having a good, young player has worn off, and Knicksdom has returned to its resting state: terrible and depressing. But still remarkably expensive, especially if you were fool enough to spring for floor seats. Like the dude who got kicked out for heckling Carmelo Anthony with four ...
The Connor McDavid-Jack Eichel Rivalry Is Officially On, Even If Neither Will Admit It
Everyone on both teams was trying to downplay Connor McDavid vs. Jack Eichel, the No. 1 pick vs. the No. 2 pick, two potentially generational talents who have so far been every bit as good as advertised. They were lying to themselves, and it only took 22 seconds from puck drop for them to be proved ...
Jamari Traylor Destroys A Man's Constitution With Alley-Oop Dunk
Longhorns guard Eric Davis Jr. tried to stay with the Kansas Jayhawks in transition, even though Texas was losing by 29 in Monday’s game. That effort lined him up perfectly to be on the receiving end of a Jamari Traylor dunk....
