Ben Simmons Is A Revelation
When was the last time we saw a rookie this broadly excellent? Does Ben Simmons evoke anyone besides the most obvious—and most desirable—comparison? Having already submitted a handful of Bronesque stat lines for our consideration, Simmons did it once again in last night’s win over the Hawks: 19 poin...

John Harbaugh Goes After Kiko Alonso After Hit That Sends Joe Flacco To Locker Room [Update]
Kiko Alonso drilled Joe Flacco in the head as the Ravens quarterback attempted to slide late in the first half tonight in Baltimore, sending Flacco to the locker room and drawing face-to-face anger from Ravens head coach John Harbaugh....
Why Fire A Winning Manager?
News just broke that the New York Yankees, a team that well exceeded expectations this season and made it to Game 7 of the ALCS, have fired manager Joe Girardi. Based on a statement Girardi gave to WFAN, this does not appear to be a mutual parting....
UNC Star Joel Berry II Loses Video Game, Punches Door, Breaks Hand
Anyone with a True Gamer’s Heart knows the soul-shattering frustration of getting owned. It is only through sheer force of luck that what happened to North Carolina guard Joel Berry II hasn’t happened to us all. Berry, the Most Outstanding Player of the 2017 Final Four, was apparently playing video ...
This Is How Scary The Sixers Can Be
Joel Embiid vs. Andre Drummond was always going to be the real plot of the Sixers’ trip to Detroit, and in preparing for it, Embiid watched a lot of game tape and liked what he saw. “Defensively,” Embiid said of Drummond, “he doesn’t play any defense.”...
Browns' Only Strength Also Ruined
With an injury to Joe Thomas’s triceps, the lone good thing about the Cleveland Browns came to an end. The stalwart tackle, who had played in 10,363 straight offensive snaps since debuting for Cleveland in 2007, had to leave the game after a three-yard run from Duke Johnson....
This Is The Arc Of Joe Maddon's Anger
In the eighth inning of tonight’s 3-2 Cubs victory over the Dodgers, there was, for a few moments, a third-strike call on Curtis Granderson. Just until the umpires conferred for a bit and determined that Granderson had in fact fouled the ball off rather than swinging and missing. This made Cubs mana...
Please Enjoy(?) 21 Years Of Joe Buck Hyping Forgotten Fox Shows
Matthew Callan deserves hazard pay for compiling this video of the last 21 seasons of Joe Buck doing postseason promo reads for Fox’s fall lineups. Thrill! to his obvious lack of enthusiasm. Marvel! at the cuts to the stars of the shows, miraculously in good seats at the game. Wonder! at why you can...
Joel Embiid On His Minutes Restriction: "Fucking Bullshit"
Joel Embiid—who was great enough last season that he maybe should have been the Rookie of the Year despite averaging just 25.4 minutes in 31 games—will start the season on a minutes restriction. It makes sense, since he missed his first two entire NBA seasons with injuries and sat out 51 games last ...
Joe Maddon Works Soda Tax Criticism Into His Thoughts On Blocking The Plate
In the bottom of the seventh inning of last night’s NLCS Game 1, with the Dodgers leading 4-2, Justin Turner singled through the left side and Chris Woodward, the Dodgers’ third-base coach, waved Charlie Culberson around, setting up a play at the plate....
Joel Embiid And Hassan Whiteside Appear To Not Like Each Other Very Much
Here’s a date to circle on your NBA calendar (you’ve got an NBA calendar, right? Hanging up in your bedroom? Next to the John Wall Fathead and above your candlelit John Wall shrine? Of course you do): February 2. It’s a long way off, but it is the first regular season meeting between Joel Embiid’s 7...
Joel Embiid Plays At All-World Level After Being Removed From Glass Case<em></em>
NBA preseason games are not fun to watch, but when they give you the opportunity to see a singular talent whose appearances on the court are far too scarce, then it’s time to tune in. The 76ers’ Joel Embiid, ostensibly somewhat healthy, lent his game some value tonight when he hit the court for the ...
Report: Joel Embiid's Huge Deal Lets The Sixers Dump Him If He Has A Bum Foot Or Bad Back<em></em>
When frequently injured Philadelphia 76ers center Joel Embiid signed a five-year, $146.5 million maximum contract extension the day before yesterday, ESPN’s Zach Lowe quoted a source calling it “perhaps the most complex” contract in NBA history. Now some of that complexity is coming to light, and th...
Joel Embiid's Contract Will Be All About The Details
This isn’t a thing that you can often say about an NBA contract extension, given that they do not usually contain labyrinthian incentive structures or non-guaranteed money, but it’s hard to make any kind of value judgment on the five-year, $148 million extension the Sixers just gave Joel Embiid....
You Are Not A Catcher, Joe Girardi
That last night’s Yankees-Indians game continued for more than six innings after Lonnie Chisenhall’s phantom hit-by-pitch should not distract you from the fact that this was the moment of the game. It was. Right there, with two strikes and two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning, the Yankees were...
Joe Lacob, Big Dummy, Reportedly Wanted To Lowball Steph Curry
Trophy-humping Warriors owner Joe Lacob has previously tried to take credit for his team’s success in hilariously tone-deaf ways. There was the time he bragged to The New York Times Magazine about how the Warriors’ 73-win season was as much the result of his venture capitalist approach to basketball...
Joel Embiid Is Nailing The Philadelphia Lifestyle<em></em>
Philadelphians are psyched as heck for the Sixers, but the excitement that the city feels for potential superstar Joel Embiid is something even purer and stranger than that....
Joel Ward: "I've Experienced A Lot Of Racism Myself In Hockey," May Kneel For Anthem
