"It's Never Happened Before," Chris Berman Claims Of Thing That Happened Many Times Before
Chris Berman’s continued presence on ESPN’s NFL draft coverage is baffling. Here’s the Worldwide Leader’s biggest buffoon claiming no school had ever had three players drafted in the top ten picks before tonight. That, of course, has happened numerous times before....
Laremy Tunsil’s Account Tweets Out Gas Mask-Smoking Video Just Before NFL Draft (UPDATE)

Curt Schilling: ESPN Employs "The Biggest Racists In Sports Commentating"
Yesterday, former ESPNer and current full-time Facebook uncle Curt Schilling gave his first lengthy interview since being fired a week ago for posting the meme that broke the camel’s back. And yes, he’s got some things to say about ESPN and the real racists....
Oh Hey, The Ducks Shit The Bed Again
The Predators franchise had never played a Game 7 before, and only six players on the roster had ever been in a winner-take-all game for other teams. Maybe, the Ducks might say, that was an advantage....
DeAndre Jordan Jams It All Over An Unsuspecting Mason Plumlee
The ragged, depleted Clippers are locked in an entertaining Game 5 rubber match with the Blazers down in Los Angeles, and no matter how many fans did or did not show up, someone’s gonna leave with a crucial 3-2 series lead. In the third quarter, Mason Plumlee got cute trying to figure out help cover...
Tom Thibodeau Used To Be A Stud With A Gorgeous Mullet
Tom Thibodeau is the new president/coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves, but it’s not the first time he’s worked with the team. In 1989, he took a job with the T-Wolves as an assistant coach under Bill Musselman. At that time, Thibs also had some glorious lettuce....
MLS Just Keeps Getting Bigger And Bigger
MLS might have trouble ever becoming the best soccer league in the world, but it’s well on its way towards becoming the biggest!...
Nick Symmonds Is Auctioning Ad Space On His Body To Stick It To USA Track And Field

Man Discovers Hockey, Loves It
The NHL convinced one more person to please like its sport last night. A man on Twitter tuned into Game 7 of Blackhawks-Blues, the first hockey game he had ever seen. He tweeted as he watched, and his enthusiasm was delightful....
Holy Shit, Dan Boyle Really Hates Larry Brooks
A disappointing season for the old-ass Rangers, and the oldest (but only among the most disappointing) Ranger of all, defenseman Dan Boyle, took advantage of what is surely his last day with the team to call out a pair of reporters with whom he’s been beefing for a while now....
Hillsborough Inquest Finds Police Error Led To Deaths Of 96 Soccer Fans
After a two-year inquest—the longest in British history—a nine-person jury has found that 96 Liverpool fans who died attending the 1988-89 FA Cup Semifinal between Nottingham Forest and Liverpool at Hillsborough Stadium were unlawfully killed....
Kevin Durant And Russell Westbrook Torch Mark Cuban And Charlie Villanueva
There’s no trash talk quite like end-of-series trash talk. It’s easy to be magnanimous in victory, but it’s not nearly as much fun as pointing to the scoreboard as you lob a Molotov cocktail through the window on your way out of the building. After the Thunder finished off the Mavericks in five game...
St. Louis Blues Eliminate Blackhawks From Stanley Cup 'Yoffs
That gif above you is a neat encapsulation of the sort of night the Blackhawks had tonight. The St. Louis Blues took Game 7 at home 3-2 and broke Chicago’s 18-game streak of winning in the playoffs when Marian Hossa scores. Chicago outshot their southern neighbors 33-26, but they gave up two goals i...
Jeff Teague Saved The Hawks, Only To Murder Them
In their overtime loss to the Celtics last night, just about every member of the Atlanta Hawks besides Paul Millsap played like dogshit. One of the chief offenders was point guard Jeff Teague, who shot a dismal 4-18, and had just five assists to three turnovers. He missed almost every shot as the ga...
The Eagles Might've Really Bungled This Sam Bradford Thing
Exciting times under center in Philadelphia! Sam Bradford, the starting quarterback for exactly as long as it takes the Eagles to decide that their No. 2 overall draft pick is ready to step in, is perhaps not entirely satisfied being a stopgap. One report says he wants out....

Aris defeated Kifisia 108-103 in overtime today in the Greek League playoffs, all thanks to former Arizona State star Jermaine Marshall’s incredible boner at the end of regulation....
Man Holding Infant Catches Home Run Ball
This proud papa is a Pirates fan, but he wasn’t too proud to celebrate the feat of hauling in Welington Castillo’s fourth-inning homer in Arizona tonight. Multitasking? Call me when he does it while holding a baby in one hand and a beer in the other....
Finally, Patrick Kane
Pushed to the edge of elimination, the Blackhawks haven’t gotten much from their best goalscorers—and the Blues have. Patrick Kane, the NHL’s regular-season points leader, hadn’t found the back of the net through the first four games. Or through three periods of last night’s game. Or in the first ov...
NBCSN Cuts Off Pat Foley's Rant About Late NHL Starts
The odd NHL postseason scheduling has resulted in some quirks, including Central time zone games reaching well into the A.M. hours—and that’s ignoring the ever-present spectre of overtime. Blackhawks analyst Pat Foley has HAD ENOUGH, and his presence on the NBCSN simulcast of Comcast SportsNet’s Chi...
