Tony Parker Crossover Leaves Raymond Felton Confused
In fairness to Felton, it looks like he was anticipating the screen from Tim Duncan, and that he was trying to avoid it. Felton eventually figured out where Parker was going about an hour later, but the Knicks still won. They're now 6-and-fucking-0....

Anonymous Jets Source Believes Anonymous Jets Sources Were Made Up
This year's edition of the Jets' public meltdown began in earnest this week as the Daily News ran a series of anonymous quotes from the locker room blasting Tim Tebow's gimmickry and poor quarterbacking.

Michael Irvin Brought Out The PDA For Bills Running Back C.J. Spiller
The noisefest that is the Thursday Night Football post-game show on NFL Network usually proceeds like an unfunny version of TNT's Inside The NBA: full of wackiness, but lacking the charm or anything memorable. You can usually rely on Michael Irvin to do something out of the ordinary, though, and he...

Miguel Cabrera, the Detroit Tigers' big third baseman, hit for the triple crown—.330 batting average, 44 home runs, 139 RBI—in 2012. His triple crown was baseball's first since Carl Yastrzemski's in 1967. Impressive! But it probably wasn't the league's best offensive season, and it assuredly wasn't ...

Mark Buehrle's Pit Bull Is Illegal In Toronto
Alex Anthopoulos thought he hit paydirt, ripping off the miserable Miami Marlins for most of their good players in Jeffrey Loria's latest fire sale. This sabermetric-darling GM, however, is about to learn that the stats can't tell you everything you need to know about a player—e.g. whether that pla...

Will We Ever Hear From These <em>Twilight</em> People Again?
Friday brings with it the end of the half-decade scourge of the Twilight films. There have been five of them, and I have to confess to you, I haven't seen a single one of them. I know they are about vampires, I know the books they're based off are terrible, and I know that they make a shit-ton of mo...

Former Texans Punter Suing Reliant Stadium Owners For Being Injured By Its Crappy Field
This week, the Texans brought in a handful of veteran kickers for tryouts. They're reportedly happy with Shayne Graham's field goals, but wish he could get a little more distance on kickoffs. They had a decent candidate last year, an undrafted rookie K/P out of Central Michigan named Brett Hartmann,...

Don Cherry Tweets By Phoning The CBC
With a little more free time thanks to the NHL lockout, staunch Canadian nationalist and colorfully dressed "Coach's Corner" co-host Don Cherry sat down for a Q&A with The Globe and Mail's James Mirtle. The best revelation from the interview, by far, related to his joining Twitter:...

Watch DeAndre Jordan Pretend To Fart On People
Thanks to The NOC, Clippers center DeAndre Jordan has a prank show on YouTube called "Got 'Em."

We're just sur...

Steve Young Gamely Tries To Explain That He Was Just Giving Rick Reilly A "Bro Stare"
Safe to say the one person who emerged from Rick Reilly's "I had that first on Twitter" debacle relatively unscathed was Steve Young, who at least had the presence of mind to get (by all appearances) seriously pissed off at Reilly's crowing over due credit, misguided as it was, with a death stare f...
