Reports: Rob Gronkowski Is "Going To Be OK"
Like some sort of reverse Christmas morning, where the presents are torn ligaments and the tinsel is an early playoff exit (I’m still working on the analogy), Patriots fans had to be dreading waking up to details on Rob Gronkowski’s scary-looking knee injury, which caused the star TE to be carted of...
On A Special Night, Kobe Bryant Delivers In The Clutch Like Only 2015 Kobe Can
Indiana led the Lakers by three with ten seconds left at Staples Center. On the night Kobe Bryant announced his retirement, there was no question which player would take the game-tying shot to force overtime....
I Could Play Better Defense Than James Harden On This Play
Look, James Harden is an elite NBA player, who maybe should have been the MVP last season. He’s good and fine on offense, despite his early slump, but I am saying to you now that he is so bad as a defender that I could put forth, at a minimum, the effort to foul Lance Thomas in this specific instanc...
Kobe Bryant Announces Retirement Via Poem
Kobe Bryant—who at 37 is shooting just 32% on 17 shots per game and looks to be a very empty shell of his former self—announced his retirement tonight, in the form of a love poem to basketball on The Players’ Tribune. An excerpt:...

Nobody In Sports Is Having As Much Fun As The Monmouth Bench
The Monmouth Hawks are a pretty good college basketball team (who’ve already upset Notre Dame, UCLA, and USC) attached to a improv troupe of a bench. What follows is a gallery of their best celebrations through the first six games of the season....
Someone Please Teach Blake Bortles The Rules Of Football
Blake my friend, you have to pass it before you go past the line of scrimmage. I understand that the blue line on the broadcasts isn’t on the field, but c’mon man, this is at least four yards past the line. You got it? Cool....

Illinois AD On Coach He Just Rehired: "It's Not Ideal"
Illinois ended their football season with a 24-14 loss to in-state rival Northwestern yesterday. At 5-7, they won’t make a bowl game, but the school re-upped the contract of head coach Bill Cubit after the loss for two more years. Illinois’ interim athletic director Paul Kowalczyk was, uh, not enthu...
Eli Manning Throws A Pair Of Tip-Drill Interceptions In Rapid Succession
Man, this is some piss-poor luck from Eli Manning. Shane Vereen is one of the best pass-catching running backs in the NFL, so this first pick is pretty inexcusable. The second toss maybe should have been picked, but Will Blackmon redeemed himself and scooped it up anyhow....
Reports: Rutgers Is Cleaning House
Julie Hermann, who presided over Rutgers athletics during a very tumultuous time, was finally fired by Rutgers today, according to a report from NJ.com. From the report:...

The Edmonton Oilers got a rare win last night in Pittsburgh against Evgeni Malkin and the Penguins. But the Penguins did send it to a shootout, on a comeback that Evgeni Malkin started here. He now has two of the prettiest goals I’ve seen all year....
Lopez Twins Say They Won't Live Together Because Their Cats Fight Too Much
Brook and Robin Lopez are notoriously tight. They hosted an NBA blooper reel show for Disney this summer, once skipped out on Stanford practice together to head to Disneyland, and they are apparently writing partners who are working on a pilot or two. So you’d think that they would want to live toge...
