A Knicks Season Recap In 90 Seconds Of Play-By-Play
The Knicks lost to the Mavericks last night, in a game that had a few different Knicksian sequences (and a felony weapons charge at the end). It also contained a 90-second stretch of play that is essentially a flip book of the Knicks season so far. ...
Comcast Is Living In The Past
It's been a while since we've featured something under the once-venerated ComcastChaos tag, so here's a contribution from reader Casey showing a Comcast program description of this Saturday's Syracuse-Virginia game on ESPN. The description comes from a game more than six years ago. ...

Klay Thompson Dunk Sends Kyle Singler Stumbling Into Crowd
There are better dunks and worse posterizations than this Thompson-Singler affair, but Singler's exit makes this fantastic. Despite his efforts to remain upright, he stumbles back for what feels like forever, until he runs into the cameraman. It's at this point that he gives in to momentum and just ...
Dirk Nowitzki And Poor Fan Combine For Definitive Knicks GIF
The Dallas Mavericks beat the Knicks 110-108 thanks to this silly shot from Dirk Nowitzki at the buzzer. ...
J.R. Smith Pulls Down Vince Carter's Headband
J.R. Smith is back to his fucking-with-people's-accessories ways. Here we see J.R. pulling down Vince Carter's headband, likely trying to get it around his eyes so he can't see. Fortunately for Vince, he was the Greg Monroe of J.R.'s headband game, not Shawn Marion....

Dominica's Fake Ski Team Scammed The Olympics And The Press
After the opening ceremony, the Olympics were one long ungroomed trail for Gary di Silvestri and Angelica Morrone, the most-publicized husband-and-wife carpetbagging oldies act in cross-country-skiing history....
One Person In America Was Offended By Richard Sherman
Those post-NFC Championship days were heady times, a nation torn apart by Seahawks corner Richard Sherman being loud on television. But how many Americans were so upset, so scandalized by Sherman's actions that they actually took the time to complain? One person from Arkansas....

The Angels Are Going To Screw Up Mike Trout's Contract
Yahoo's Jeff Passan reports that the Angels and Mike Trout are in talks on a contract extension that would lock up the 22-year-old superstar for six years and around $150 million. This is an eminently reasonable number; it just makes no sense for the Angels....

No, really, that's what happened....
Mike Trout Has Finally Broken Baseball's Math
For the past few years, Mike Trout has been the biggest steal in sports. He's had two otherworldly seasons, and he's only 22. So on the surface, news that the Angels are trying to lock him up to a six-year deal worth about $150 million makes sense. But it's actually remarkable for how much sense it ...
Jamal Crawford Has An Incredible Memory
Jamal Crawford got himself into a duel with Kevin Durant yesterday, answering KD's 42 points with an incredibly efficient 36 of his own on 13-20 shooting. But Crawford didn't just flex his genius on the court, he also proved that his memory is just as sharp as his crossover....
The Double Life Of A Closeted Gay Athlete, Decades Before Jason Collins
Jason Collins on Sunday became the first openly gay athlete to play in a major U.S. sport. In the 1970s, coming out was never an option for Dodgers outfielder Glenn Burke. ...
Has Jim Harbaugh Worn Out His Welcome In San Francisco?
As more non-denials come out, it appears the Browns did make some attempt to trade for 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh. There's enough smoke to assume that something was at least smoldering. But much more interesting than the "what" is the "why," and the growing sense that all is not well in Ninerland....
The Milwaukee Brewers' Adopted Stray Dog Is The Best Dog
This is Hank the dog. Hank is a stray who wandered into the Milwaukee Brewers' spring training facility last week, and has since become the team's unofficial mascot. Hank is the best dog....
Jason Collins Played Basketball And It Was No Big Deal
The most striking thing about Jason Collins's entrance, making him the first openly gay athlete to play in one of the four major sports, was the subdued applause. Not the cheering part; it's 2014 and fans have been ready for this for a long time. But the number of fans who sat on their hands during ...
