Packers Fan Suing The Bears: “This Is Not Some Noble Crusade”
Monday night, I wrote about the lawsuit a Packers fan had filed against the Bears. Russell Beckman, a Wisconsin resident who is also a Bears season ticket holder, is suing the team because, he claims, they prevented him from going on the field in his Packers gear....
Marian Hossa May Be Done, And That's Pretty Convenient For The Blackhawks
Chicago Blackhawks winger Marian Hossa announced this morning that he will not play in the 2017-18 season because of a skin condition and the effects of medication he takes to treat it. The Blackhawks are losing a still-very-capable veteran player, and it may mark an abrupt end to Hossa’s hall of fa...
Reports: Hawks Send Dwight Howard To Hornets For Marco Belinelli, Miles Plumlee
Draft Week trade mania—it’s happening!...
Evan Turner Has The Ultimate Phil Jackson Thought Experiment
Imagine: The year is 2017. You are the president of a dysfunctional NBA franchise, seemingly with no professional goals other than increasing the dysfunction of said franchise and maniacally preaching the virtues of triangles. You do not consider yourself beholden to your players or fans or, really,...
De'Aaron Fox's Dad Isn't Having Any Of LaVar Ball's Bullshit
De’Aaron Fox will almost certainly be a top-five pick in Thursday night’s NBA draft, although this draft is silly with point guards and he will likely be the third lead guard selected. It’s inevitable that Fox will be judged alongside Markelle Fultz, Lonzo Ball, and Frank Ntilikina as this class of ...
Enjoy Mike Zunino's Beautiful Month
Before the start of last season, Seattle Mariners general manager Jerry Dipoto declared 2016 to be “The Year of Mike Zunino.” Simply put, it wasn’t. Most of the season was spent in Triple-A, and while he showed some marked improvement at the plate during his weeks with the big-league club, it wasn’t...

Lakers Send D'Angelo Russell To Brooklyn For Brook Lopez [Update]
The second big trade domino has fallen ahead of Thursday’s NBA draft. According to Adrian Wojnarowski, the Los Angeles Lakers will send point guard D’Angelo Russell and NBA Finals hero Timofey Mozgov to Brooklyn in exchange for Brook Lopez and the 27th pick in the draft....
Dan Gilbert's Going To Fuck This Up Again, Isn't He?
Barring catastrophic injury or disaster, the Cleveland Cavaliers have a very good chance of returning to the finals next season, because the East is a bunch of cupcakes and having LeBron James is an excellent head start. Beyond that is unclear, as James has a player option for the 2018-19 season, an...
Kristaps Porzingis Has Produced The Only Relatable Athlete Workout Videos
This afternoon LeBron James posted a video of himself kneeling on a rubber sphere while waggling a large rubbery wand, that, per our own Tim Burke’s experiences, is liable to knock you right on your ass should you stop waggling it at the right rate. Every fiber of James’s action-figure torso strains...
New NHL Jerseys Are Leaking
With Adidas taking over the contract for NHL uniforms from Reebok, that means redesigns for everyone. Any major redesigns? Officially, we’ll all have to wait until tonight to find out. The jersey unveiling party is taking place in Las Vegas starting at 8 p.m. Eastern, with the reveal of the Vegas Go...
Run, Don't Walk, To Trade For Jimmy Butler
The Golden State Warriors have been champions for one week, and the rest of the NBA is already scrambling to get in position to beat them next year. The Cavs have spent the past few days on a nonsensical roller coaster, flirting with soon-to-be ex-Pacer Paul George then self-immolating and stunting ...
Farewell To Shane Doan, The Ultimate Company Man
On Monday, with a distinct lack of ceremony, the Arizona Coyotes announced that they would not offer a new contract to Shane Doan, abruptly dismissing the longest-serving active captain in the NHL. Doan had been with the franchise his entire 21-season career, dating all the way back to when the Coyo...
Mike Francesa Learns He Shouldn't Call People "Oriental" Anymore
On yesterday’s show, Mike Francesa passed along the Supreme Court’s ruling on whether a slur could be registered as a trademark—a case that would have affected the Washington Redskins’ trademark—with the signature delicate approach only he could provide....
Report: Lane Kiffin Was Famously Chewed Out By Nick Saban For Calling His Players "Dumb"
Phil Savage may have been a lousy NFL general manager—the former Browns GM traded up for Brady Quinn and replied to a fan email with “Go root for Buffalo-f#@* you,”—but he does have some pretty good Lane Kiffin goss. ...
Put Phil Jackson In Jail And Then Put The Jail In Space
Phil Jackson had millions of sad, tri-state area sphincters clenching after an April presser when he said there was no player on the Knicks who was safe from the trading block. They stayed clenched when Kristaps Porzingis skipped his exit meetings, apparently frustrated after wading through this sew...
Krushing The Krusher's Nuts
The first thing I did when I got to Vegas was put a bet on Sergey Kovalev. It seemed like the right thing to do at the time. You might say, “How could you bet against Andre Ward? One of the most polished pound-for-pound fighters in the world? An Olympic gold medalist? A world champion at two differe...
The NL West Is Competitive And Fun As Hell
What do the three best teams in the National League all have in common? They all play in the NL West. As of Tuesday, the Diamondbacks have won seven games in a row, the Rockies have won five in a row, and the Dodgers have won four in a row. In their last 10 games, these teams are 9-1, 7-3, and 9-1, ...

Enzo and Cass were mostly a shtick, but that shtick was pretty good....
Danny Ainge Claims He Never Wanted Markelle Fultz In The First Place
After the pre-draft trade between the Celtics and Sixers was made official yesterday, Celtics GM Danny Ainge held a conference call with reporters to explain his reasoning....
David Brooks: My Judgment Is Appallingly Bad, Therefore Listen To Me
In the abstract, David Brooks’s choice to begin today’s Times column about the assorted Trump/Russia investigations with the following isn’t necessarily a bad one....
