The layout itself is beautiful. [Grantla...
Scottish Soccer Player Admits To Booze-And-Hooker-Fueled Bender
It was about a month ago when Paul Slane, once a rising star in the Scottish Premier League and a member of Celtic, tweeted out some salacious photos of himself getting, uh, "friendly" with two women (NSFW picture after the jump).

Stephen Curry Finally Makes His Playoff Splash
Last night's Warriors-Nuggets game ended the way you'd expect it to end when the Nuggets play atrocious defense and the Warriors shoot somewhere around 125 percent from the floor.

The Knicks Smother The Celtics Into A Historically Bad Second Half
This one looked like the last one. The Celtics came out strong in Game 2, as they did in Game 1. Then, at halftime something happened.

No Game Today
In 1928, Buster Keaton signed a contract with MGM, a move he later called "the worst mistake of my life." His first movie for the studio was also the last good one he ever made.
