How The Warriors Streak Ended
24 wins in a row is as impressive of a streak as you’ll ever see to start an NBA season, but the Warriors were close to a different, sneakily difficult record last night. Had they beaten the Milwaukee Bucks, they would have secured the first 7-0 road trip in history. That stat doesn’t leap off the p...
Referees Powerless To Stop Massive Hockey Brawl
The Québec Major Junior Hockey League is a a wonderful hockey league spread across Québec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. It’s a charming part of the CHL, full of francophone names and, apparently, vicious brawls that even referees are powerless to stop. The Halifax Mooseheads...
Chip Kelly vs. LeSean McCoy Beef Reaches New Beef Level
Remember how earlier this week Chip Kelly was all like “I’d love to shake LeSean McCoy’s hand,” and then LeSean McCoy was all like, “Chip can’t say shit to me.”? Well this week Kelly called McCoy and he was all like, ‘Hey it’s Chip, from Philly,’ and McCoy was all like *hangs up phone*....

Basketball Dog Goes Down
Looking at that image up top, you might think this dog here was in a great position to make the steal. His biggest concern, you might think, is how is he going to dribble and convert on the turnover on the other end? Sadly, our canine amigo got himself exposed....
How The Charlotte Hornets Turned It Around
In their last four games, the Charlotte Hornets have blown out two of the Eastern Conference’s better teams, beaten the Bulls, and whooped on the Grizzlies. Charlotte’s only lost twice since Thanksgiving, to the Cavs and the Warriors (which is forgivable, since losing to them is like losing to grav...
Chicharito Is On Fire
Javier “Chicharito” Hernandez’s move away from Manchester United and Real Madrid off to Bayer Leverkusen probably seemed like settling, an acknowledgement on his part that he wasn’t cut out for the biggest, most ambitious teams in the world. But the first half of his debut Bundesliga season has been...

My Top Songs On Spotify This Year Are A Clear Cry For Help
I don’t understand how people find the time to listen to podcasts. Like a good company guy, I listen to the Deadcast, but I tried one episode of This American Life and stopped it after 20 minutes. Ira Glass’s voice was fine, but when I’m working, I can’t listen to audio that requires attention. This...

On Tuesday night, Cubs GM Theo Epstein signed Ben Zobrist, one of the most versatile and consistently productive players in baseball, to a four-year, $56 million deal.

Taj Gibson Was Totally Chill About Blake Griffin Almost Taking His Head Off
In the third quarter of last night’s 83-80 loss to the Bulls, Blake Griffin completely misjudged Taj Gibson’s pump fake and inner arm-chopped him across the face. It’s the type of foul that oftentimes causes a fight, or maybe just a “hold me back bro!” confrontation, but not this time. Griffin was i...

Ohio State head coach Urban Meyer just announced that defensive tackle Adolphus Washington will be suspended for the Fiesta Bowl, due to a violation of team policy. The suspension comes just two days after Washington was arrested for trying to solicit an undercover cop....
16 Rock-Themed Beers, Ranked
There are currently more breweries than at any time in American history, which is cool enough, but what’s even better is the gargantuan number of beers they combine to produce. Long gone are the whatever-old days when a brewery could get by offering just a few different styles. For more than a centu...
Oklahoma State Basketball Coach Travis Ford Ejected From Son's High School Game
So, Oklahoma State University men’s basketball coach Travis Ford was kicked out of his son Brooks’s high school basketball game yesterday, and that’s pretty funny, if perhaps unremarkable. This sounds like any run-of-the-mill Too Raw Sports Dad story, where a probably bad parent got too fired up liv...
Don't Blame The Vikings For Trying, Blame Them For Failing
If you believe in moral victories, the young, upswinging Vikings hung tough with one of the NFL’s best teams, were thisclose to tying the game in the final seconds, and QB Teddy Bridgewater bounced back to have one of his sharper games as pro. If you believe in crushing losses, the Vikings were soli...
