Jeremy Schaap And Bob Ley Telling Muhammad Ali Stories At 4 A.M. Is Must-See TV
ESPN’s Bob Ley and Jeremy Schaap are two of the network’s best, and the pair anchored hours of Muhammad Ali coverage in the very early morning that few—other than west-coast insomniacs—were able to see. That’s a shame, because the two engaged in a tremendous discussion of the boxer’s legacy and shar...
Miguel Cabrera Was Very Impressed With The Pitch That Struck Him Out
Miguel Cabrera is on quite the run right now, but Jeremy Hellickson got him to take a rip at a strike three that fell harmlessly in the dirt far from Cabrera’s flailing bat. He is a fun dude who knows when to give respect when he gets owned, so he flashed Hellickson a cool thumbs up almost before Ca...
Fans Wonder Why Jeremy Lin Doesn't Get More Flagrant Foul Calls; Lin Thinks They Have A Point
A group of Jeremy Lin fans are wondering why the Hornets point guard seems to be getting ignored by referees when opponents commit hard fouls against him. They have compiled the video below, in which you can see a number of plays on which Lin was hammered, only to have the referees call a standard f...
The Chiefs Will Fight The NFL On Tampering Penalties
The Kansas City Chiefs have been hit by the NFL with a raft of penalties for illegally tampering with Jeremy Maclin during 2015's “legal tampering” period, and, frankly, it’s pretty insane. The penalties are harsher than any previously imposed, and the violation was one that undoubtedly happens doze...
Amar'e Stoudemire Doesn't Think Carmelo Anthony Has Handled This Knicks Thing Very Well
“I was so involved with creating a positive atmosphere around the Knicks,” Amar’e Stoudemire said before Miami’s 98-81 win in his first trip back to Madison Square Garden since being bought out last year. “Now it’s gone the opposite way.”...
Everything NBA Broadcasters Have Said About Jeremy Lin's Hair This Season
Jeremy Lin has enjoyed a solid year backing up Kemba Walker for the Charlotte Hornets. After the inferno that was Linsanity, he didn’t become a superstar, but he also did not drop off the face of the map. He’s just sort of a guy, a decent back up point guard on an okay team....
Giant Monster Dunks On Poor Sucker; Poor Sucker Laughs
San Antonio’s “sort of an odd thing” Boban Marjanović (pictured here) is 7-foot-3, very strong, and has hands the size of Manu Ginobili. What I am saying here is that one can only do so much to prevent him from catching and dunking basketballs. Sometimes he’s just gonna catch a basketball and dunk i...
Jeremy Hill Reacted To His Costly Fumble With Anguished Screaming
Pittsburgh’s 18-16 victory over Cincinnati Saturday night will be remembered for Vontaze Burfict’s dirty hit on Antonio Brown and Pacman Jones’s subsequent penalty on the same play, gifting the Steelers 30 yards and an easy game-winning field goal....
Jeremy Mincey On The Cowboys' Atmosphere With Greg Hardy: "It Was Tough"
Defensive lineman Jeremy Mincey did an interview on FOX 4 in Dallas Sunday, and recapped the Cowboys’ disappointing season. Broadcaster Mike Doocy asked the NFLer about his experiences with teammate Greg Hardy, who fought with coaches and had details of his assault arrest published. Mincey, who will...
Jeremy Maclin And J.J. Watt Both Leave Game With Injuries On The Same Play
J.J. Watt, who’d just spent a little bit on the sideline right before this play nursing a groin injury, had to stop his rush halfway through due to a flare up. Right after he went down, Chiefs lineman Eric Fisher got a cheap shot in on the neck of a defenseless Watt. Watt went into the locker room, ...
Kobe Tried To Rip Jeremy Lin's Head Off!
You know that uncomfortable moment when you discover that what you’d thought was all fun and games was actually deadly serious for one guy, and all of a sudden shit’s all weird and fraught? Kobe Bryant is that guy. Last night he turned a silly little tug-of-war over a two-for-one opportunity into th...
The Chiefs Should Terrify The AFC
The AFC’s elite teams are all limping toward the finish line. The Bengals are relying on a backup quarterback who’s most famous for having a girlfriend who aroused Brent Musberger, and you couldn’t describe the Broncos’ new starter as much else besides ‘Tall’ (and, I suppose, ‘Injured’ and maybe ‘Va...
Rugby Dude Gets 4 Teeth Knocked Out Of His Head, Fumbles Around For Them On Field
Thoughts I would have before I, unlike LOU’s Jérémy Gondrand, got up and started calmly looking for the four teeth that had just been smashed out of my head:...
NBA.com Removes "Oriental" From Post About Jeremy Lin
On November 2, after the Charlotte Hornets home opener, NBA.com’s official Hornets blog posted a story about the team’s home opener.

Jeremy Guthrie Was On The Lookout For Beer-Tossing Jays Fans
The umpires needed a replay review to figure out that Royals shortstop Alcides Escobar was hit by a pitch during the second inning of last night’s Royals-Blue Jays game, and Royals pitcher Jeremy Guthrie immediately thought of what happened the last time the Jays’ home crowd saw their team get screw...
The Chiefs Finally Put An End To Football's Silliest Streak
I can appreciate a good sports streak as much as anyone, but the dumb ones are always more fun than the actually impressive ones. Which is why last night’s Chiefs-Packers game was, despite Aaron Rodgers’s continued brilliance, kind of a bummer. The Chiefs, for the first time in 18 regular-season gam...
Jeremy Guthrie Is Trying To Put Ballboys Out Of Work
Royals pitcher Jeremy Guthrie was relaxing in the bullpen over the weekend series with the Rays, so he started a competition with one of the Tampa Bay ballboys to see who could wrangle more foul balls. The ballboy won two out of three, but Guthrie hustled in Sunday’s game....
The <i>Entourage </i>Movie Is The Hate-Watching Event Of The Summer
I’m gonna forego all ceremony and just tell you the best part of the Entourage movie, which is Ronda Rousey’s reading of the line, “I think somebody’s fuckin’ in there.” I will be purchasing this film on Blu-Ray six months hence in hopes of viewing outtakes from this scene. I need variations. “I thi...
Giancarlo Stanton Ruining Baseballs Almost Makes Up For Jeffrey Loria
Back in February, Sports Illustrated had a neat cover story on slugger Giancarlo Stanton, his injury last season, and the Miami Marlins’ new strategy of not fielding an embarrassing team. For a minute, the article really convinced the reader that owner Jeffrey Loria cared about his franchise. Stanto...
Byron Scott Thinks Some Of His Players Would Frag Him
It has been a remarkable year of quotes from Lakers coach Byron Scott, who has vacillated between pure delusion and brutal honesty with his words. Speaking with reporters after practice yesterday about how he is going to continue to make his very bad team practice hard, he opted for the latter. Via...
