Hmmmmmm. LeBron James And Kyrie Irving Sent Some Cryptic Tweets. Hmmmmmmm.
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics 120-103 on Saturday, and one would assume that such a victory would have put everyone in the locker room in a good mood. Maybe it did, but it also put LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in the mood to do some subtweeting....

Roddy White Says Kyle Shanahan Forced Him Out Of Atlanta
Roddy White’s release by the Falcons last week was not a huge surprise; it’s hard to justify a 34-year-old third WR with a $6 million-plus cap hit. But White’s an interesting case, because he didn’t precisely demonstrate that he can’t play anymore. Instead, he was simply phased out of the gameplan b...

Get A Load Of This <i>Chicago Tribune</i> Columnist's Bad Steph Curry Take
Whatever your opinion on the Golden State Warriors—whether you think they can eat shit, or believe that their haters should shut the fuck up, or [untangleable mess of puns], or you love them—it’s inarguable that they are good at basketball. That’s sort of a ridiculous premise to have to establish, b...

Big Ten Network Melts Down, Airs Depeche Mode And Morrissey Songs Instead Of Commentary

And Now, The Best Minnesota High School Hockey Hair
“We’re getting Minnesota with it,” the narrator of this year’s Minnesota high school hockey all-hair team video says, as the camera cuts to a plate of spam, lutefisk, and a lefse, which is then placed on a vinyl copy of Purple Rain. It somehow only gets more Minnesota from there....

The Skeptics' MLS Season Preview
There are plenty of reasons not to watch MLS. The soccer’s kinda boring, there’s a healthy dose of Soviet-ish central planning to the whole operation, and the league’s marketing is extremely “How Do You Do, Fellow Kids?” If you’re hoping for EPL quality or at least Argentine Second Division quality,...
