Arkansas QB Trying To Stretch His Lil' Baby Hands In Order To Boost Draft Stock

I can’t imagine how stressful it must be to be a prospect at the NFL combine, where every aspect of your physical being is broken down and scrutinized in absurd detail, and the slightest deficiency can sink your draft stock. So it’s no wonder that Arkansas quarterback Brandon Allen is stressed out a...

Arizona Coach Sean Miller On Court Storming: Someone's Going To Punch A Fan

No. 9 Arizona fell 75-72 to Colorado last night, the buzzer coming just after Allonzo Trier’s potential tying three clanged harmlessly away, and then, for the 10th time in the Wildcats’ last 11 road losses, the home fans charged the court....

Hahaha, What The Hell Kind Of Ingenious Rainbow Goal Is This?

This goal, scored by Ranger’s striker Kenny Miller, is crazy. The ball’s trajectory is less a dipping curler and more a meteor falling out of the sky and somehow landing in the side netting. It’s a curve you’d learn to plot in high school math class with your graphing calculator come to life. The go...

Steph Curry Bails Draymond Green, And The Warriors, Out

The 1995-96 Chicago Bulls’ 72 wins are so impressive because it is very easy for the nightly grind of the NBA to trip teams up. Sure, injuries can easily cause losses, but so can scheduling quirks, off nights, opposing stars going off, or a million other things....

Of All The Dumb Things Ever Written About Analytics, This Might Be The Dumbest

We don’t really bother to cover the Basketball Analytics wars anymore, because what’s the point? “Analytics” is simply a numbers-based way of understanding what is happening on the court, whether those numbers are expressed as points or RAPM. It is self-evident that teams should use every tool avail...

Yaya Touré Belter Saves Manchester City From Themselves

He’s been doing it for years now, but it’s still ridiculous just how good Yaya Touré is at scoring goals. This curler, knocked in from the top of the box at the end of Manchester City’s match against Dynamo Kiev, was as important as it was pretty, as it all but sealed City’s progression into the nex...

Jim Harbaugh Gives Kirby Smart The "I Don't Even Know Your Name, Bro" Treatment

David Ortiz Wants A Standing Ovation From Yankees Fans 

It’s David Ortiz’s final season, and barring a Red Sox playoff appearance, his final road games will be at Yankee Stadium the last week of September. Given how much of Ortiz’s career and reputation is caught up in the Yankees/Red Sox rivalry, and how his heroics in the 2004 ALCS turned around the fr...

Yankees Continue To Blow Off Criticism Of Ticketing Policy Like True Rich Assholes

Not satisfied with actively screwing their fans with a bunk new ticketing policy that bans print-at-home tickets, the New York Yankees’ brain trust is now being straight-up hostile to critics of the new rule. First, COO Lonn Trost went on the radio and admitted that the team doesn’t want smelly poor...

James Harden's Partnership With Dwight Howard, Summed Up In One Play

Years from now, while surfing Basketball Reference, your child may look to you and ask, “How were the 2016 Rockets so bad despite having both James Harden and Dwight Howard? Weren’t those guys good? I must know the truth.” You will have prepared for this moment, and you will turn the eyes of your pr...

This Full-Court Chest-Pass Buzzer-Beater Is Incredible

I can’t think of another shot quite like Josh Henderson’s 70-foot buzzer-beater at the end of the first half of Vanderbilt’s 87-74 win over Florida. The low angle of the damn thing makes it nearly impossible, like an inch off in any direction would have sent it careening into the stands. It’s like a...

Former British Olympian And Diehard Arsenal Fan Did Not React Well To Yesterday's Loss [Update: This Didn't Happen]

Update [11:01 a.m.]: Turns out, the tweeted picture showing the remote in the TV was a joke and not actually a picture of Sotherton’s TV. Sorry for the error. The original post is below....

Yoenis Cespedes Is Driving A Different Ridiculous Car To Spring Training Every Day This Week

Skins Confirm RGIII Is Done In Washington

In the least surprising NFL news since the league’s nine-figure “accounting error,” the Skins’ team president made it more or less official: Robert Griffin III’s tumultuous four-year stay in Washington is at an end....

Rich Clune Really Hates Cody Bass, And He Doesn't Care Who Knows

During warmups before tonight’s Toronto-Nashville game, Maple Leafs forward Rich Clune and Predators forward Cody Bass got into a somewhat heated confrontation:...

The Canadiens' Automated Twitter Promotion Has Gone Horribly Awry

I thought we’d already learned our lesson here. Just like the New England Patriots, the Montreal Canadiens decided to celebrate reaching one million followers on Twitter by creating custom avatar jerseys with Twitter handles. But the Canadiens were so lazy that they didn’t even bother to filter out ...

Aaron Gordon Is A Nasty In-Game Dunker Too

If the first time you really noticed Aaron Gordon was when he was jumping over a dragon on a hoverboard during the dunk contest, that’s okay! The Orlando Magic aren’t very good, and Gordon hasn’t quite managed to consistently put together his elite potential (though he’s close). The important thing ...

Report: Jae’Sean Tate Re-Aggravated Shoulder Injury While Slapping The Court

Late in the second half of Saturday’s 65-62 victory over Nebraska, Ohio State wing Jae’Sean Tate tried to amp everybody up by repeatedly slapping the court. Unfortunately for him, this resulted Tai Webster blowing by him. And now, to add injury to insult, the floor slapping might’ve cost him his sea...
