Maybe This Is Why UCLA Hoops Once Sucked?
It's been two decades since they won an NCAA title. The glory years of John Wooden's titanic career are faded California dreams. But UCLA remains a nationally ranked team each and every season. This 1945 photograph, meanwhile, might help explain why Bruins hoops endured losing records for so many ye...
Nick Saban's Agent Sure Seems To Be Shopping Him To Texas
When the AP first reported news of a January phone call between Texas administrators and Nick Saban's agent Jimmy Sexton, Saban said he didn't know anything about it, and that he's too old to start somewhere else.

Hammer Of The Gods: <em>Thor: The Dark World</em>, Reviewed.
1. It's funny how many of the Avengers are stiffs. Sure, Iron Man is all wry and meta, and The Hulk, particularly as played by Mark Ruffalo, has genuine pathos and pain, along with a dark sense of humor about his whole predicament. Then there are the rest of them. Captain America is a cheesy dope w...
The NBA Players No One Will Pass To
Now that the NBA's new SportVU site has launched, armchair morons like you and me can avail themselves of all kinds of wonky stats—how often Marc Gasol touches the ball on the elbow, say, or how many of his rebounds Dwight Howard actually has to fight for.

We Need To Steal This Idea From Slovakia's Olympic Hockey Jerseys
Nike continues to roll out the Olympic hockey sweaters. (The Americans'? They're OK. Could do without the shoulder stars. And the phantom ties, though those are universal. At least they're not Nazi-inspired.) The Slovak jerseys were unveiled today, and they're pretty crisp. But there's one subtle, w...

Why Is Making The NBA For Rich Kids? Ask Seth Stephens-Davidowitz Here

Can You Ride A Bike In The City Without Being An Asshole? (No.)
Maybe I'm in the wrong but I get annoyed whenever I'm walking in the park and I hear, at my back, a bicycle bell. The call of "On your left!" also gets on my nerves. My fight instinct kicks in, and I have to force myself not to punch the bicyclist soon to go by. A single jab would do it....

Oh Yeah, Andre Iguodala Also Made A Ludicrous Pass Last Night
Yeah, 55-foot alley-oops are pretty cool, but so are behind-the-back passes from the corner that lead to an easy layup. Be sure to catch Iguodala's facial expression as he runs back on defense. Not even he can believe that shit actually worked. ...
James Harden Really Didn't Feel Like Playing Defense Last Night
The Houston Rockets surrendered 137 points to the Los Angeles Clippers last night. The Clippers' high-powered offense is mostly responsible for that staggering point total, but it's also very hard to stop teams from scoring when your shooting guard is playing perimeter defense like this. ...
