Bobby Portis Issues A Totally Sincere Apology For Socking Nikola Mirotic
Here’s a totally not-at-all-perfunctory apology from Bobby Portis, for busting up teammate Nikola Mirotic’s face and sending him to the hospital. Feel the emotion!...
The Pelicans Are Shuffling The Saddest Deck In The Universe
You would not think a person could muster up much of a feeling about Jordan Crawford being cut by an NBA basketball team in 2017, and yet, here we are. ...
The Nationals Fired Dusty Baker Because They're Just Thrashing Around
For a nice cathartic kick, I recommend USA Today’s Bob Nightengale’s take on the Nationals’ dumb but depressingly predictable firing of Dusty Baker, done via telephone Friday:...
Defend Your Boots From The Rain, And Dog Shit
Boots might be able to handle the mud, crud, and animal shit you encounter, but they need care, too....
Kyrie Irving, To Taunting Sixers Fan: "Suck My Dick!"
Last night, in Philadelphia, a taunting Sixers fan shouted down into the tunnel “Kyrie, where’s LeBron?” The timing was good, as Kyrie Irving himself seemed to be navigating that section of tunnel, and was apparently within earshot, judging by this response:...
Attaboy, Lonzo
Certain caveats apply: the Phoenix Suns are incredibly awful; it’s just one game; his 29 points came on 27 shots; etc. Still. Lonzo Ball badly needed a bounce-back performance to wash away the stink of Patrick Beverley’s nether regions, and last night he got a good one, recording 29 points, 11 rebou...
I Have Had Enough Of These Damn Injuries, NBA
Tim McMahon of ESPN is reporting that Chris Paul will miss the next two to four weeks while recovering from a bruised left knee. Houston’s schedule over the next two weeks goes Mavericks, Grizzlies, 76ers, Hornets, Grizzlies, 76ers, Knicks, and Hawks, so they’ll be fine. More importantly, what’s wit...

Nick Kyrgios, Shut Down For The Season, Fields Questions From The Peanut Gallery
Nick Kyrgios chose to shut down his season Thursday, citing a desire to recover fully from the hip injury he suffered during a nasty slip on the grass in July. Here’s the full explanation he offered after an uneven season in which he made two finals but failed to pass the second round of any major:...
Multiple WWE Wrestlers Dropped From Upcoming Pay-Per-View Due To Viral Infection
According to a statement released by a WWE representative, Roman Reigns is among three wrestlers who will be unable to take part in this weekend’s TLC pay-per-view event after coming down with an unspecified viral infection. Bray Wyatt will also not be wrestling on Sunday, and everyone is getting te...
Connor McDavid Sticks Out His Butt To Create A Beautiful Assist
Butts are quite important in all sports, but in hockey, they’re useful for creating separation with defenders. Connor McDavid stuck out his butt and played a huge part in the Edmonton Oilers’ first goal of Thursday’s 2-1 overtime win....
At Least There's Kristaps
The Thunder look like they’ll be fun, and good. The Knicks are of course neither, but in last night’s 105-84 loss they were bad on a level that still managed to surprise. If you are a team with a hopeless season ahead of you but a small gaggle of bright young players, you might just invest in their ...
The Columbus <em></em>Fiasco Shows That MLS Is No Different
Earlier this week, Anthony Precourt, the San Francisco-based owner of the Columbus Crew, announced that he would pick up stakes and move the team to Austin unless the city bought him a shiny new downtown stadium. Columbus does not need a new soccer stadium, because the current stadium is only 18 yea...
The NFL's Players Won
Wherever this goes from here—continued player protests during the national anthem; actual reform-oriented initiatives sponsored by the NFL; more diaper-filling from the president of the United States—one obvious takeaway from this week’s league meetings here in Manhattan is that the players showed h...
Barbora Strýcová<em></em> Is Pissed That World No. 3 Karolina Pliskova Stole Her Coach
The coaching carousel in pro tennis has been picking up speed for years, but the frequent turnover generally involves low-drama transactions—a player fell a few spots in the rankings and wants to change tracks, for example. But this week, world No. 25 Barbora Strýcová accused her countrywoman and w...
Khalil Mack May Very Well Be Too Strong
Chiefs tackle Eric Fisher is 6-foot-7 and weighs 315 pounds. Raiders linebacker Khalil Mack is also quite large, coming in at 6-foot-3 and 250 pounds, but not so large, one might think, as to be able to turn a man of Fisher’s size into a Jenga tower in pads. And yet, we can all see the GIF at the to...
This Is Clayton Kershaw's Time To Shine
The Dodgers are going to the World Series for the first time in nearly 30 years and we already know who will be on the mound for Game 1 in Los Angeles. It will be the face of the franchise, Clayton Kershaw. It couldn’t be anyone else....
Marshawn Lynch Watched Game From The Stands After Ejection, Took The Train Home
After Marshawn Lynch was ejected from last night’s game against the Chiefs for making contact with an official, there were reports that he had immediately changed into street clothes in the locker room and left the stadium. That turned out to not be quite true; Lynch did indeed leave the locker room...
Of Course Patrick Beverley Shut Down Lonzo Ball
In perhaps the most predictable turn of events of the NBA’s early season, Clippers point guard Patrick Beverley held Lakers rookie sensation Lonzo Ball to three points on 1-of-6 shooting. Also predictably, Beverley was pleased with his handiwork after the game, according to ESPN’s Marc Spears:...
Raiders Win In Wild Finish That Everybody Screwed Up
Oakland topped Kansas City tonight in yet another improbably entertaining Thursday night game, though one that had a finish marred (to some) or spiced up (to others) by errors committed by, in order, the officials, the Raiders, the Chiefs, and the Chiefs again:...
