DeMarcus Cousins Really, Really Likes Joel Embiid

DeMarcus Cousins and Joel Embiid went at each other all night in an entertaining battle of the bigs as the Kings beat the Sixers 102-100.

I Hope The Beef Between Meyers Leonard And DeMarcus Cousins Lasts Forever

DeMarcus Cousins dropped 55 points on Tuesday, but not before dropping a platter of hot beef on Meyers Leonard’s lap.

DeMarcus Cousins Got Ejected, Then Un-Ejected

It was a busy Tuesday for DeMarcus Cousins. Fresh off a $50,000 fine for berating a Sacramento Bee columnist (for which he offered a notably lacking apology), Cousins went out, had a monster game, got ejected, got un-ejected, scored 55 points, led the Kings to a big win over the Blazers, and then ga...

DeMarcus Cousins Apologizes To Everyone Except The <i>Sacramento Bee</i>

Two Random Dudes Started A Twitter Rumor About The Vikings Sheltering The Homeless And A Lot Of People Bit

For a few hours yesterday, word raced around Twitter—and, ever-so-briefly, onto the blogs—that the Vikings would be opening up their stadium as a homeless shelter on a night of subzero temperatures in the Twin Cities. It wasn’t true, but everyone really, really wanted it to be. And in the end, isn’t...

DeMarcus Cousins Berates Columnist For Writing About His Brother

A Definitive Ranking Of The 25 Best Holiday Songs Ever Recorded

Two years ago, we scientifically ranked every Christmas song. That remains a helpful reference, but it’s not a ranking of holiday song recordings. Here, then, is a ranking of the top 25 seasonal songs ever recorded, and it is not debatable because it is 100% accurate. (A Spotify playlist featuring m...

DeMarcus Cousins Is On The Sacramento Kings

DeMarcus Cousins is on the Sacramento Kings. He is not on the Boston Celtics. His time on the Boston Celtics has not gone well or poorly, because he has not had any time on the Boston Celtics, because all of his time has been on the Sacramento Kings. (Also he is not on any other teams, except for th...

DeMarcus Cousins Does Beautiful Impression Of Joakim Noah's Shooting Form

Report: Orioles Tell Free Agent Jose Bautista Their Fans Hate Him

This isn’t the greatest free agent pool, but there are still some sluggers on the board. One of those—though not as marquee a name as he was, say, 12 months ago, is outfielder Jose Bautista. And one of the teams looking for an outfielder (and, historically, loves to get power hitters in free agency)...

Chris Sale To The Red Sox, God Damn It

Ken Rosenthal is all over the HOT FUCKING STOVE, knocking down pots and pans and dropping his bowtie in the deep fryer. The soup is bubbling and Ken’s got the first taste: ...

The Nationals Are All-In On Chris Sale

From multiple media reports, the Nationals appear to be the team most likely to land White Sox ace Chris Sale in a trade this offseason—possibly as soon as this week’s Winter Meetings. The only thing that might scuttle the deal? If the Nats get Andrew McCutchen instead....

Behold Everything Beautiful And Ugly About DeMarcus Cousins

The Knicks and the Kings played last night at Madison Square Garden, and at least for those of us who live in New York, it was a far more entertaining spectacle than the shit-ass game between the Giants and Steelers that it overlapped with for most of the early evening. The Knicks were victorious a...
