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. The team has a trigger-happy reputation, but it's actually their defense—tied for best in the league with the Spurs—that ha...
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...
Melvin Gordon's Rushing Record Is Now Samaje Perine's Rushing Record
Poor Melvin Gordon ran through a stout defense last week for 408 yards, an all-time FBS record. The single-game FBS rushing champ got to wear that crown for a week....
DeAndre Hopkins' Favorite 4th-Grade Memory? Eating Pudding In Class
The pictures in this post come to us from a tipster, whose fiancée went to elementary school in Clemson, South Carolina with Houston Texans wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Like many kids, Hopkins aspired to be a professional athlete. Unlike most kids, he actually made it....

Connor Kruse is a fifth-year senior offensive lineman for Michigan State, and the Spartans gave him a special Senior Day gift: an end-around handoff that went for zero yards....
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." Worried because the Lakers' spectacular brand of suck has been the most entertaining subplot early in this surprisingly dismal NBA season, and ...

Good ol' cursin' Bo Pelini left a wad of saliva on this guy's face. He didn't seem too happy about it....
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. You don't get to that kind of record without some luck, though, and that's what the Thundering Herd had on this play against UAB today when Rakeem Cato somehow escaped a sack, ...

11-Year-Old Japanese Hockey Wunderkind Is The Truth
The kid dangling and destroying the competition above is Aito Iguchi, an 11-year-old who plays for Japan's Saitama Junior Warriors. Truthers out there are dismissing his skills, arguing that Japan doesn't develop quality hockey players, there are a million 11-year-old Canadian kids that good, his sk...
Craig Sager Briefly Returns To TV For Coaches vs. Cancer Classic
The last time Craig Sager and his suits that Kevin Garnett think should be burned was on our televisions was April, prior to his treatment for leukemia. He left the hospital in May, and last night he made a return to TV for college basketball's Coaches vs. Cancer Classic, speaking a short message ab...
Lil B Confirms Kevin Durant's Injury Caused By The Based God's Curse
Lil B was at MIT last night, giving what The FADER called "a groundbreaking lecture" at the school's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. The lecture sounds like it was quite the event, "presenting nuanced observations on workplace efficiency, human empathy, and GMOs," as well as...

Dion Waiters Goes For Dunk, Gets Destroyed, Is Terrible
Millennial Dion Waiters stinks and is bad; tonight against the Wizards, he tried to dunk on Kevin Seraphin and got stoned—with both hands!—directly to hell. My favorite part is Jon Barry and Mike Breen both initially assuming it must have been a foul, before watching the replay and realizing, yep, ...

ESPN Suspends Keith Law From Twitter For Defending Evolution [UPDATE]
Heavy-tweetin' ESPN baseball writer Keith Law has been noticeably silent for the last couple of days. That's no coincidence—he's been given a Twitter timeout by ESPN, and we're told that it's for loudly and repeatedly defending Charles Darwin from transitional fossil Curt Schilling, his Bristol coll...
