Dunking On Pau Gasol Is Fun

Nikola Vucevic's dunk on Pau Gasol reminded me of the time Blake Griffin ruined Pau twice in one game. Dunks are so much better/funnier when the guy getting dunked on falls over....

Nikola Vucevic Whomps On Pau Gasol's Head With Dunk

Pau Gasol is having his best season in a couple of years, suggesting that his recent demise wasn't about physical ability but the psychic torture that the Mike D'Antoni-Dwight Howard-Old Kobe Bryant-Nick Young Los Angeles Lakers imposed upon him. But one of the cool things about the NBA is that almo...

Dancing Hurdler Michelle Jenneke Is All Grown Up

It's been almost three years since the Internet discovered Michelle Jenneke. Then an 18-year-old Australian with a peculiar warm-up, she became the most famous fifth-place junior hurdler ever. ...

Aaron Boone Goes Knuckle-Deep On ESPN Megacast

Aaron Boone is one of a number of ESPN personalities featured on tonight's Megacast "ESPN Voices" broadcast on ESPNU, which has mostly consisted of allowing viewers to watch talent eat food. Or in Aaron Boone's case, watch him pick his nose....

Here's how Oregon & Ohio State fans reacted live on ESPN's Student Section broadcast to the 70-yard Mariota-to-Marshall touchdown pass....

ESPN Blames Cardale Jones's Inexperience For Loss That Hasn't Happened

ESPN obviously has a number of graphics and stories ready so that no matter how tonight's national title game proceeds, they'll be ready with the instant analysis. If Ohio State loses and substitute QB Cardale Jones plays poorly—which doesn't look likely, given how well Jones is doing—ESPN will focu...

Watch This OSU Cheerleader Get Nuked In Three Photos

We're not exactly sure how it happened, but here's a great three-photo sequence from photographer Tom Pennington of Ohio State emerging from the tunnel, which we've turned into a GIF I've now watched 50 times....

Kevin Garnett Chucks Ball At, Headbutts Dwight Howard

Usually it is Kevin Garnett getting under his opponent's skin. But there is something so profoundly unlikeable about Dwight Howard—see Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, some heckler, and Ice Cube—that the normally cool-and-composed-while-being-a-jerk Garnett absolutely lost it on the play above, chucki...

According to a report from the Philadelphia Inquirer, the NCAA is considering once again reducing the sanctions against Penn State levied in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.

How To Cook For Yourself Every Day, And Stock Your Kitchen Like A Pro

I love Sundays, but not the way I used to. Time was, it was a day for sleeping in, going to brunch, watching sports, ordering a pizza, dicking around. But here's the new itinerary: Wake up early, go to the farmer's market, buy a boatload of awesome produce (produce being a thing I now consider awe...

Why Ohio State Is A Sneaky-Bad Match-up For Oregon

Oregon looks like a clear favorite over Ohio State in the college football championship game. The markets opened with Oregon as a 7 point favorite, which implies a 70 percent win probability. The predicted margin of victory is even higher with my team rankings based on margin of victory at The Powe...

Suns Make Four-Fingered Foam Hands To Honor Gerald Green

Let me start by saying I had no idea that Suns swingman Gerald Green only has nine fingers. I feel ashamed to admit this, because I love Gerald Green!...

Hating Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Is For Suckers

One of the only things I dislike about writing this column is that no matter the topic of the day—be it my wife, my cat, the sports teams I root for, or even, on a slow day for me personally, beer—one of you hamless eggers is guaranteed to find a way to tell me that my position is invalid because I'...

Draymond Green And Steph Curry's Family Get Into It With Seahawks Fans

Warriors superstar Steph Curry is a big Carolina Panthers fan, and he was in attendance for the team's road playoff loss to Seattle. At some point, things got a little testy with the home fans, and it was Curry's wife, mother, and teammate Draymond Green in the thick of things....
