Mark Cuban Takes Shot At NFL For Its Opposition To Sports Betting

Justise Winslow Hurdles Stanford Player's Head To Block His Shot
In case you hadn't heard, Duke freshman Justise Winslow is pretty athletic. So athletic, in fact, that he can high-jump over opponents to block their shots, as happened tonight against Stanford in the Coaches vs. Cancer championship game. Sure, it was all for naught as the player had already been fo...
The Warriors Ran A Beautiful Play For An Alley-Oop Last Night
Played well, basketball is a spectacularly beautiful game. Despite having a 9-2 record, the Golden State Warriors offense has frequently been bogged down by careless turnovers.

Bethune-Cookman Wins Florida Classic With Gutsy Two-Point Conversion
Bethune-Cookman has been playing Florida A & M for nearly a century, and has come out on the wrong end of the scoreline far more often than they've won what's now known as the Florida Classic. (The worst? A 97-0 beatdown in 1960.) Things weren't looking too hot for them today, either, as the Rattler...

Kobe Bryant Airballs From Siberia As The Lakers Lose by 34
The other day my colleague Albert Burneko worried that Nick Young's return had improbably elevated the Lakers from "gonzo terribleness to bland mediocrity."

Marshall Escapes Doom Twice, Scores Wild Tip-Drill Touchdown
Marshall's undefeated, though you wouldn't know it by watching ESPN or listening to the college football playoff committee.
