Jung-ho Kang Has A Tattoo Of Himself On His Leg
Jung-ho Kang’s first season with the Pittsburgh Pirates was cut short last September when Chris Coghlan ruthlessly slid into Kang’s leg, breaking it and tearing his MCL. Kang, who finished third in NL Rookie of the Year voting, has spent all offseason rehabbing his leg, but isn’t sure if he’ll make ...

Brice Johnson's Full-Court Buzzer Beater Goes In, Fails To Beat Buzzer
If there is a perfect Deadspin highlight, it’s the extraordinary athletic play that achieves the impossible but has no impact on the game’s result. So here’s North Carolina’s Brice Johnson casually launching the ball the length of the court after the first half buzzer of the Tar Heels’ home game aga...

Sabres' Dave Legwand Scores On The Blue Jackets From Goddamn Mars
Dave Legwand was just trying to get this puck the hell out of his half so he could end his penalty-killing shift, but he messed around and zapped a goal past rookie Blue Jackets keeper Joonas Korpisalo....

Cops: Illinois Basketball Player Leron Black Arrested For Pulling A Knife On A Bouncer
Sophomore Illinois forward Leron Black was arrested late Thursday night in Urbana after he threatened a bouncer at Canopy Club during a Lil Durk show. Witnesses and police report that Black, 20, pulled a knife and was threatening club security personnel with it after they moved to eject Black and hi...

Thomas Müller Scored Himself A Clean Little Half-Bicycle Kick Goal
Thomas Müller has, apparently, been reading the pamphlets and watching the tapes. The move in 2016, it seems, is knocking the ball down to yourself and spinning about while scoring. Christine Sinclair did it. Dele Alli did it. And it wasn’t as pretty as the Canadian or the Englishman, but Thomas Mül...

This Is What It's Like To Watch Kobe Bryant Get His Dislocated Finger Relocated
It was another Lakers loss tonight in Los Angeles, though front-row fans got a special treat as retiring star Kobe Bryant suffered a dislocated finger that was fixed in front of a few supporters—one of whom clearly was displeased by what she saw (or possibly heard). We would be too....

Kimbo Slice Vs. Dada 5000 Match Ends In Predictably Hilarious, Stupid Fashion
Tonight’s much-hyped Bellator match between Kimbo Slice and Dada 5000 ended the way you probably expected: with one of the fighters being knocked out by his own girth and being stretchered out of the ring....

Christopher Bell Somehow Walks Away From Devastating Wreck On Race's Final Lap
Johnny Sauter won tonight’s NASCAR truck race at Daytona, but everyone’s eyes were on Christopher Bell’s #4 truck after it went tumbling due to a wreck on the race’s final lap....

Sports Highlight Of The Week: This Kid Eating It Over And Over
We did it, everyone. We made it through a long, boring week without any sports on but hockey. (Even though hockey is good and you should try it.) Celebrate with this child getting owned repeatedly....

The Best Track On Kanye West's <i>The Life Of Pablo </i>Is Also, Somehow, The Worst
What the world needs now is a great Kanye West song: no less and please, God, no more. Enough with the delays, the obfuscations, the feuds, the amusing tantrums misidentified as unhinged rants, the legit unmisidentifiable social-media disasters. It’s exhausting. He’s exhausting. We’re exhausted. To ...

Minnesota's Joey King Breaks Down After Upset Over Maryland
The Minnesota Golden Gophers toppled No. 6 Maryland Thursday night with a 68-63 win, earning their first conference win of the season. With a 7-19 record, the team has been a punching bag for most of its opponents, but after the game, senior forward Joey King turned into a tearful mess as he was int...

Report: Canadiens "Gauging The Market" For P.K. Subban
I do not believe the Canadiens will trade P.K. Subban. I totally buy Greg Wyshynski’s idea that this is being made up by a rival GM to make the Habs look bad. But still, but still....

Danny Green Gets Deked By Chris Paul <i>And</i> Dunked On By DeAndre Jordan In One Play
The Spurs lost to the Clippers last night in L.A., 105-86. In typically passive-aggressive Spurs fashion they managed to deflate the game before it happened, holding out Kawhi Leonard with “calf tightness,” so who the hell knows what the result means. Probably nothing. That probably does not make Da...

The Rockets Couldn't Dump Dwight Howard, So What Now?
The Houston Rockets reportedly spent a lot of time shopping around Dwight Howard before yesterday’s trade deadline. This was no great surprise, as the Rockets have been the most dysfunctional team in the NBA not named the Kings, and Howard’s partnership with James Harden hasn’t worked out the way th...

Ryan McDonagh Suffers Another Head Injury On Cheap Shot From Leo Komarov
Ryan McDonagh, the Rangers’ captain and best defenseman, could miss more time after taking an elbow to the head from Toronto’s Leo Komarov and leaving the game—just 12 days after suffering another concussion....

Monty Williams Calls For Forgiveness In Powerful Speech At Wife’s Memorial Service
Much of the NBA travelled to Oklahoma City Thursday to attend the memorial service of Ingrid Williams—the wife of Thunder assistant Monty Williams—who died last week in a car crash. At what was billed as a “Celebration of Life for Ingrid Williams,” Monty gave a powerful eulogy for his wife, exhortin...

John Wall Has A Ridiculous Handle At Hyperspeed
Once upon a time, the knock on John Wall was that he could only move at one speed: hyperspeed. He still might be the fastest player in the NBA, but a big part of his maturation into an All-Star was learning how to remain under control, while still moving faster than everybody else on the court. Toni...
