Here's Fred Jackson Tossing His Kids Into A Big Pile Of Buffalo Snow

Snow Trapped Niagara Women's Basketball On A Bus For 26 Hours
On Monday night at around 10 p.m., the Niagara Purple Eagles boarded a bus in Pittsburgh for what should have been a four-hour ride home. At 2 a.m. on Tuesday, just 30 miles or so from campus, the bus stopped. The snow had arrived. They were stuck for a while....
Kansas Coach Bill Self Takes 32-Point Beatdown With Humor
Bill Self's Kansas Jayhawks were the fifth ranked team in the country going into Tuesday night's matchup against Kentucky, but they won't be for much longer after getting whooped 72-40. Kentucky is most people's preseason pick to be the NCAA Champion, and they certainly looked the part as their le...
Tennessee State Finishes Game With Only Four Players On The Court
Southern Illinois beat Tennessee State 84-67, scoring 31 of their points at the free throw line. That many fouls was a big problem for Tennessee State.

Fan Throws Jersey Onto Ice As Maple Leafs Get Blasted 9-2

Cam Newton's Twitter Got Hacked And Then Suspended

Black Grantland's Old White Guy To Black People: Do What I Tell You
Yesterday, news dropped that Jason Whitlock was about to make Mike Wise, an oldish white Washington Post columnist and proud champion of liberal causes, his second official "black Grantland" hire. That's interesting not just because of what he is—this is supposed to be a site bursting with young, up...
Tiger Woods Melts Down Over Gentle Satire
The Players' Tribune justified its existence this afternoon when guest contributor Tiger Woods published a screeching rebuttal to a disposable piece of satire in this month's Golf Digest. Why rely on Twitter as the middleman for athletes' unhinged rants when you can get them directly from the sour...
The Philadelphia 76ers Are A Godless Abomination
You almost certainly missed it over the weekend, but the Philadelphia 76ers made a big addition to their roster, scooping up free-agent forward Robert Covington. If you've never heard of Robert Covington, that's because he's an undrafted second-year player who had previously seen the floor in just s...
RG3 Is Making Everyone Insane
Let's begin with the full quote. You already know that RG3 allegedly threw his teammates under the bus after the Skins got their asses handed to them by the Bucs at home on Sunday, but you probably only read this part of the quote…...
Foster's: Australian For Fraud
My 11th-grade history teacher opened the first day of class by asking us to write down everything we knew about Christopher Columbus. Of course, we all knew he came to America—or somewhere near America, anyway—in 1492, and his ships were called the Nina, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria. The better st...
Phil Martelli's Grandson Is Still An Adorable Mini-Basketball Coach
Most of us discovered Saint Joseph's coach Phil Martelli's grandson Philip in this year's March Madness tournament. The 4-year-old in the stands wore an adult necktie and screamed at no one in particular. (Just like a real coach!) College basketball's back, and so is Philip, still acting like his gr...
Buzzer-Beating Alley-Oop Sends Game To Overtime
UMass just finished up a 77-68 victory over Manhattan, but not before Manhattan's Emmy Andujar and Rich Williams pulled off one of the coolest buzzer-beaters you will see all year....
Where Every NBA Team Takes (And Gives Up) Shots
Here's a chart by our friend Ed Kupfer, who does analytics for the Houston Rockets, showing the distribution by percent of every NBA team's offensive and defensive field goals. If you take a second blink through the information overload, it's a shorthand Rosetta Stone for what's going on in the NBA....
The A's Just Claimed Subject 6 From The Duke Fuck List
The Oakland A's just claimed outfielder and first baseman Alex Hassan, plucking him from the Boston Red Sox farm system. You might be wondering why we are telling you about a 26-year-old career minor leaguer getting claimed off waivers, and the reason is that Alex Hassan happens to be Subject 6 fr...
The Funniest Thing In Sports: Kobe Bryant Chucking At Historic Levels
Kobe Bryant shot a combined 16-for-48 in the two ass-kickings the Lakers absorbed over the weekend. Even the bad guys from Rambo III are all, "Jesus, man, that's a lotta terrible shooting." The friggin' Ethyl Higby Charm School doesn't have that many misses....
Warning: Doug McDermott Will Just Get All Up In Your Picture
Former Creighton star Doug McDermott hasn't exactly taken the NBA by storm in his first weeks as a pro, but that doesn't mean that he's short on confidence. For example, McDermott has no problem rolling right into a famous-person photo that he definitely wasn't invited to....
