NBA Players, Like Us, Can't Stop Touching Their Phones At Halftime
A question of willpower: if you were being paid tens of thousands to play each professional basketball game, could you manage to stay off your phone at halftime? Easy for me to say hell yes from a haughty blogger perch—and maybe the answer still is hell yes—but for many NBA players, scrolling throug...
Stanley Johnson Thinks He's In LeBron's Head. Okay, Stan.
LeBron James spent large portions of Game 2 punking the Detroit Pistons. He dunked all over Reggie Bullock and let everyone know how awesome it felt, he stink-faced Marcus Morris for daring to leave him open, and he gave rookie Stanley Johnson a meaningful bump during a timeout:...
How The Sharks' Power Play Will Bite You From Any Angle
If you had the entire NHL to draft from, you might not be able to construct a more logical top power-play unit than the one the Sharks can ice every night. Maybe not the “best”—third best in the NHL this year, though—but there’s not another that’s so well-defined, that offers such weapons from every...
Report: High School Basketball Star Actually A 29-Year-Old Man
The Catholic Central High School boys basketball team, located in Windsor, Ontario, has a pretty good player in Jonathan Nicola. The 6-foot-9 center is so good that his coach put together the workout video above, because, as he told the Windsor Star last year, Nicola had a shot at going pro. That dr...
The Blue Jays Lost In The Saddest Way
Sometimes, your team really bones it and gives up a walk-off home run. Or maybe they lose after a new MLB rule bites them in the ass. Both of those scenarios suck, but neither is outright embarrassing. The Blue Jays’ 4-3 loss to the Orioles in extras tonight, however, ended in sad, humiliating fashi...
Aaron Hicks Rockets A 105 MPH Throw To Nail A Runner At The Plate
Danny Valencia probably thought he had a decent chance to sprint home from third after Aaron Hicks caught this sacrifice fly. He didn’t even get close. Look at this goddamn throw....
Scott Laughton Stretchered Off The Ice After Slamming Into Boards With His Head (UPDATE)
The Flyers and Capitals have had a contentious, physical series that’s featured a bunch of fighting and a fan revolt. This hit on Scott Laughton was not particularly vicious, but he smashed into the boards at the wrong angle with plenty of speed and it appears he tweaked his neck and hit his head....
A Fancy Stoner's Guide To Baking
A stoner, a true stoner, will tell you that smoking weed is not at all the same as eating it. Baking weed tends to make it feel stronger, if only because it’s stripped down to its most potent parts. A note to beginners: never eat the whole brownie....
Tom Thibodeau Is The Perfect Coach For The Young Timberwolves
The Minnesota Timberwolves have been flirting with mere mediocrity since Kevin Garnett left town nearly a decade ago. Their highest finish in the Western Conference in the past ten years was a tenth place in 2014, after which they traded Kevin Love and won 16 games the next season....
Nearly Perfect: For One Night, Rex Chapman Was King
Michael Jordan made me hate basketball. That’s not supposed to be the effect of one of the greatest players of all time, not if he plays for your team or you’re a connoisseur of the sport. But for me, a young sports fan in South Florida who sort of understood basketball, I looked at Michael Jordan’s...

Weed Activity Books Are Pretty Trippy, Man
The best place to get high is outside, where you can feel the air and look for cool bugs under logs or whatever. My coworker Drew and I recently climbed a mountain and got stoned, and it was fun as hell. Sadly, not everyone lives near a park or forest or beach where you can easily and discretely smo...
Widehawks Look Terrible
We’re at the point now where the wide Mohawk haircut—clean-shaven on the sides, business at the back, party size of your choice up top—has become a staple hairstyle for athletes all over the world. But why? Why the fuck have so many athletes decided to rock extreme negburns and walk around looking l...
Chinese Keeper Goes All Superman, Flies Around To Save Three Would-Be Goals

Podrick The Magic-Dicked Teen Is The True Hero Of <i>Game of Thrones</i>
Season 6 of HBO’s Game Of Thrones premieres on Sunday, and fans will finally get answers to the burning questions that last year’s finale left them with. Is that guy, the handsome one, dead? What’s going on with the dragon lady? What shit is the creepy guy going to get into this year, and what inexp...
Charlie Villanueva Gets In Nice Underhanded Burn
There was a funny little moment before Dallas’ dramatic Game 2 victory over Oklahoma City, when Mavericks reserve Charlie Villanueva interrupted the pre-game dance routine of Russell Westbrook and Cameron Payne. After the last-second loss, Kevin Durant called Villanueva’s move “fake shit,” and Russe...
Rowdy Nick Mangold Heckled The Penguins At Last Night's Rangers Game
Jets offensive lineman Nick Mangold was hard to miss at Tuesday’s Penguins-Rangers game. He was the guy who looked like Nick Mangold yelling at Pittsburgh’s bench....
Nearly Perfect: Charles Barkley Was The Patron Saint Of Moral Victories
I’m a sucker for those moments when athletes lose themselves a little bit. When Jose Bautista gets mad at baseball and then throws a bat into baseball’s face; when Rajon Rondo realizes it’s him against the world and still asks LeBron James to come get some; when Baron Davis decides that the only app...
Here's A Cardinals Fan With A Swastika Tattoo
This picture was posted to a Cubs forum by a user who claims to have been at last night’s game between the Cubs and Cardinals. Yikes!...
