How Jon Jones Became The Baddest Motherfucker On Earth
The baddest motherfucker on Earth and I are in a posh restaurant in a poor city with two guys he picked up at some point or another to shoot guns and drink beer with whenever he isn't elbowing people in the face, and we're laughing, the four of us, hearty guffaws that crash around the table.

Edwards starts reaching core instability around the two-mi...
LeBron Can't Finish At The Rim, And It's Sad
As you may have noticed, the Cleveland Cavaliers kind of stink right now, and there are many things—Kevin Love playing some of the worst ball of his career, their extremely leaky defense, an old and shallow bench—one can point to while trying to explain why.

The Cavaliers Are Stinking Out The Joint
The Cavs got their asses kicked inside-out by the terrible, terrible Pistons last night, 103-80, in Cleveland. They're 18-12 on the season, 5-5 in their last 10 games, fifth in the woeful Eastern Conference. They stink....

Watch The Heat's Tribute Video For LeBron James From Christmas Day
OK, so a Thanks for chilling at the time share for a couple years tribute doesn't have the oomph as the Coming Home montages, but this is a nice little video from the Heat for yesterday's game.

Last week, I told you Ale Asylum is the best brewery in Wisconsin, which is pretty rich when you consider that I've spent a grand total of four days in that state, during which time I didn't talk to any locals, venture a mile from my hotel, or try many of the state's most acclaimed beers.
