We don't really know what to make of this, but a tipster just sent along a motion for a restraining order recently filed against Johnny Manziel by someone going by the name Samantha Schacher.

There are a few noteworthy happenings in this clip of one of Paul Goldschmidt's home runs from last night. By itself, the dinger is quite impressive, but excellent camera timing makes the sequence better....
Johnny Manziel Is So Damn Obnoxious You Should Love Him
By the usual measurements, this is one of those vapid, empty-calorie stories about a first round draft pick playing footsie with a team official on draft day: "Johnny Manziel texts coach 'come get me'." For anyone else, anyone just a fraction less punchable, whatever. For Manziel, though, god, how g...
Browns Coach: Johnny Manziel Texted Me, Asking To Be Drafted
Browns QB coach Dowell Loggains appeared on ESPN Radio Arkansas yesterday, and revealed that Johnny Manziel was the top quarterback on Cleveland's draft board, and that the Browns had tried to make trades with Tennessee at No. 11 and Dallas at No. 16 to move up and grab him.

Behold, John Calipari As A Cake
This John Calipari cake is impressively accurate—though the nose is a little wide, the other details are spot on, like the mole on his cheek—but it would not be enjoyable to see this face peering into my window at night. Ever....
The Man Who Helped Bring Down Donald Sterling Is An Asshole, Too
If you were watching closely, you might've seen Kevin Johnson, the former NBA guard who's now mayor of Sacramento, sitting courtside at Staples Center during Game 4 of the Clippers-Thunder series.

The Heat Didn't Care That Joe Johnson Had A 34-Point Game

LeBron Is The Human Analytic, And He's Unstoppable
Last night's Game 4 between the Heat and Nets came down to a three-play sequence that was laced with a fun bit of irony. With just under two minutes to go, game tied at 94, the Heat—the team paced throughout the night by its star cannon-balling his way to 49 points—rode out the game's crisis point w...
José Fernández Is Hurt, And We Aren't Allowed To Love Anymore
José Fernández is 21 years old and unquestionably one of the most exciting players in baseball. I use "player" in place of "pitcher" with purpose, because it's not just Fernández's ability to mow down hitters that makes him so much fun to watch; it's the fact that he milks every ounce of fun he poss...

Donald Sterling's <em>AC360</em> Interview Went Worse Than You Thought It Could

"W...
