Kendrick Perkins Says LeBron Is "Always Looking For Attention" Because "He Wants The World To Like Him"
You will recall that Blake Griffin dunked on Kendrick Perkins not so long ago. One rarely dunks on a player of Perkins's height and reputed toughness, so it was a big thing. Kevin Durant said Griffin's dunk was not a dunk—making him the clubhouse leader in petulance—but here comes Perk himself!...

This Is Why JaVale McGee Is The Best Thing In The NBA
This is from last night's Raptors-Wizards game. Please keep an eye on JaVale McGee. He's the fellow who first goes backward between the legs (impressive), then throws up the ball within an area code of the hoop (less impressive), then goes tearing down the court while the Wiz still have possession...
You Have Four Days Remaining To Bid On This Leather-Bound & Autographed Copy Of Jerry Sandusky's Book
There are apparently only 250 leather-bound copies of Touched by Jerry Sandusky (and Kip Richeal) in existence, and this one's autographed by Sandusky, Matt Millen, Greg Buttle, Kyle Brady, Lance Mehl, Ed O'Neil and Jack Ham.

Someone Is Probably Lying About The Super Bowl Tickets Cancer Break Up, But Who?
By now, it's become clear that our incredible story of bitchiness and greed could not be so tidily wrapped and bowed. Sokhon Sen, the woman Jason Elia referenced by twitter handle on the Houston radio show (that portion, by the way has since been bleeped out), has come out and denied the whole thin...

BenJarvus "Law Firm" Green-Ellis Was Actually Supposed To Go To Law School
The "Law Firm" nickname that's stuck to Patriots running back BenJarvus Green-Ellis triumphs over the average modern sports nickname—it's not based on his initials, or the first syllable of his last name, and it features an allusion to a milieu more buttoned-down than the NFL. (If that's your thing....
Which Guy In Bill Belichick's Inner Circle Is More Mysterious?
Because the Patriots are in the Super Bowl, and because Bill Belichick—admirably or otherwise—doesn't tell anyone about anything, the press corps has reasoned that it is high time to explore the mysterious dudes who work for him. One is Ernie Adams (left), the other is Berj Najarian (right)....

The L.A. Kings' Explanation For Last Night's Clock Discrepancy Is Bullshit. Here's Why.
The Los Angeles Kings' explanation (via GM Dean Lombardi) for last night's clock disaster that gave them a win over Columbus is ludicrous for two reasons. The first, and again quoting Lombardi in the Los Angeles Times:...
Science! Explains Why The Clock Stopped In The Kings Game
Everyone agrees that the Staples Center clock stopped in the dwindling seconds, giving the Kings just enough time to score the game-winner over the poor Blue Jackets, who never win anything.
