This morning, they fired coach Lionel Hollins and “reassigned” GM Bi...

Bill O'Brien Had No Choice
Yesterday, Brian Hoyer played one of the very worst games by an NFL quarterback in the playoffs that I’ve ever seen.

DeMar DeRozan Dunked All Over The Sixers Last Night
The Raptors went down Pennsylvania way to take on a summer league team that’s somehow still playing into January. It was the fourth game of a mini road trip, but they took care of the anonymous group of Benjamin Franklin fans. Toronto is, for my money, the best of the morass of teams fighting for th...

Alabama's Jimmie Taylor Discovers New Way To Box Out

Jeremy Maclin And J.J. Watt Both Leave Game With Injuries On The Same Play
J.J. Watt, who’d just spent a little bit on the sideline right before this play nursing a groin injury, had to stop his rush halfway through due to a flare up. Right after he went down, Chiefs lineman Eric Fisher got a cheap shot in on the neck of a defenseless Watt. Watt went into the locker room, ...

They got to go to the Rose Bowl because it was a neutral site game, and they commemorated their trip by t...

Maryland Breaks Wisconsin's Heart With Game-Winning Three
Wisconsin fought back at home against Maryland from a late eight-point deficit, only to lose at the last second. Down 60-52 with less than 1:30 left, Wisconsin hit a layup and a pair of threes to tie it at 60. But right after Bronson Koenig’s three, Melo Trimble calmly pulled up from well behind the...

Report: Uhh, The Eagles Are Interviewing Tom Coughlin
Tom Coughlin, the grumpiest Tom in the world, might be switching NFC East head coaching jobs.
