Please Do Not Punch John Wall's Brain Stem Again, Kelly Oubre
The fight last night between Draymond Green and Bradley Beal was mostly two guys hugging each other very hard, first in a standing position, and later while laying on the ground. But that doesn’t mean there were no punches landed! No, indeed, here is a very strong overhand left from young Kelly Oubr...
NAIA Basketball Tournament To Move After Host Freaks Out Over Anthem Protests
It appears another rinky-dink American organization is willing to shoot its dick off in order to protest athletes kneeling during the playing of the national anthem at sporting events. This time it’s College of the Ozarks, host of the last 18 NAIA Divison II men’s basketball tournaments, asking the ...
Nikola Mirotic No Longer Wants To Play With The Guy Who Broke His Face
Despite Bobby Portis’s totally sincere apology and 100 percent earnest attempts at reconciliation, Nikola Mirotic is apparently not ready to move forward as Portis’s teammate following Portis punching a crater into his face: Mirotic has reportedly told the Bulls he’d prefer to be traded if the team ...
Small UFO Obliterated By Oklahoma City's Chartered Plane
Following their loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves Friday night, the Oklahoma City Thunder flew from Minneapolis to Chicago for the second leg of a back-to-back. En route, their team plane seems to have wiped out a very tiny UFO:...
Jack Sock Goes Between The Legs Yet Again
Would you believe it? Rushing the net in a tense moment during a first-set tiebreak against David Goffin today, Jack Sock went between the legs—with great results....
FW: FW: The Seahawks Are Getting Kicked Out Of The NFL
Everyone is pretty pumped up, if we’re just going by the expressions on the faces of the Seattle Seahawks players and coaches arrayed about their locker room. Richard Sherman is cheesing like a five-year-old on photo day. If Pete Carroll was grinning any harder, his smile would somehow be larger tha...
Bob McNair's Really Stepped In It Now
Houston Texans owner Bob McNair compared NFL players, who are employees and free men, to prison inmates during last week’s league meetings. (The exact wording, as McNair argued for banning players from protesting during the anthem: “We can’t have the inmates running the prison.”) According to variou...
The<i> New Yorker</i> Has Invented Blogging
Big news from the New Yorker: The venerated magazine is shaking things up by introducing a new “short-form news product” where writers go online to “respond to the news.” Newyorker.com editor Michael Luo explains:...
Pickle Some Stuff
No one ever—I checked; it literally has never happened—has gone, “Dang, if only I had not pickled some foodstuffs.” Does this mean pickling some foodstuffs is a good idea for you, right now, wherever you are, even if where you are right now is an important meeting in a grey conference room surrounde...
The Pro Wrestling Fan Who Wasted The FBI's Time Claiming He Paid Oswald to Kill JFK
Thursday night’s release of a trove of raw JFK assassination intelligence by the National Archives seems as if it was deliberately released in such a way as to comply with the law while ensuring that it’s as difficult to use as possible. The PDFs of the documents have not been made searchable, their...
Steve Smith Might Really Whoop Michael Irvin's Ass
During Thursday’s NFL Network pregame show, Michael Irvin couldn’t resist taking a shot at Steve Smith’s pants. It seems like a bad idea to joke with the guy who once broke his own teammate’s nose, but it was heartening to see Irvin put his own neck on the line for once....
49ers Ask Their Fans If Winning Is Important
Credit where it’s due: 49ers owner Jed York has been relatively conscientious and forthright on the subject of the racial and social-justice issues at the heart of the NFL player protests. But York is still an NFL owner, and the NFL is still a business. Winning football games? A negotiable priority,...
This Is The Sort Of Weird Controversy That Always Seems To Happen In Montreal, Huh?
Alex Galchenyuk has struggled this season, scoring just two points with zero assists in 10 games as he’s been shuffled up and down the Canadiens’ lineups. The left winger was on the top line as recently as last week; he was on the fourth line in last night’s 4-0 loss to the Kings. As Galchenyuk goes...
Frederik Andersen Makes A Very Unlikely Glove Save
Look at alllll that net facing Noah Hanifin, and the unpreferable positioning of Frederik Andersen, on his pads, off-balance, and stuck near-side after making a save a split second before. Easy goal, right? Not if you know a little trick I like to call “reading the headline.”...
Blake Griffin Helps Clippers Stay Undefeated With Buzzer-Beating Three Over Blazers
After the Clippers squandered a nine-point halftime lead over the course of the third quarter and slipped behind the Trail Blazers in the fourth, Blake Griffin stepped up to play the hero—grabbing a Patrick Beverly pass to drain a buzzer-beating 25-footer and seal the win for Los Angeles....

Luke Walton Isn't Worried About All Of Lonzo Ball's Misses
The Lakers overcame a 10-point fourth-quarter deficit to beat the Wizards 102-99 in overtime last night. Little thanks to Lonzo Ball, who missed all five of his three-point attempts for the second game in a row, and scored in the single digits for the third time in four games. It’s early in the seas...
