A Treasure Trove Of Very Sad 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers, now in year three of their shameless rebuild, are 0-15. Playing for an 0-15 team that ranks dead last in points per game and leads the league in turnovers can’t be much fun, so it’s no surprise that 76ers Players Looking Really Sad has started to become an internet genre of s...

Who Knew Attempted Intentional Fouls Could Be So Funny?

A Dead Pet Bunny, And More Of Your Grimmest Thanksgiving Disasters
Last year, at my family’s Thanksgiving celebration, I bestowed upon my brother the honor of carving the turkey. He stared at the bird for a solid minute, halfheartedly holding a tine and knife, before dropping the tools and tearing into it with his bare hands. Last week we asked you to tell us your ...

The Rockets are really struggling to get wins thus far, but they’re still a dangerous team.

Fire Extinguisher Becomes Weapon In Fight Between Robin Lopez And The Rockets Mascot
Robin Lopez does not like mascots. He has had an ongoing series of beeves with just about every mascot in the NBA, including our friend Clutch the bear here. You may recall the wonderfully cryptic interview he gave about his disdain for the Toronto Raptor, but he is by no means limited to anti-repti...

Oh Huh, The Dallas Mavericks Might Be Good Again
The Dallas Mavericks were lumped in with the Portland Trailblazers as teams most likely to drop out of the playoffs this year. They missed out on Texas natives DeAndre Jordan and LaMarcus Aldridge, then overpaid for Wesley Matthews. The Great Emoji War was not kind to them. And yet here they are, wi...

Panathinaikos and Olympiakos, the top two teams in the Greek Super League, were supposed to play today in Athens, but an outbreak of fan violence and flare throwing caused the postponement of the game. Here are some surreal photos from the stadium, which I swear are not from The Purge....

Aaron Rodgers's Throwing Shoulder Is "Banged Up"
If this doesn’t fully explain Aaron Rodgers’s (relative) struggles this season, it sure goes a hell of a lot further than hypotheticals about his girlfriend. Rodgers appeared on the injury report for the first time this week with an unspecified injury to his right shoulder, and since there was no ob...

Nick Saban Gets Heated With Media, Offers Some Impromptu Marriage Advice
Alabama is playing FCS school Charleston Southern this week, a cupcake opponent that would be very easy for the Crimson Tide to look past. Well, some of those turkeys in the media might be overlooking Charleston, but Nick Saban sure as hell isn’t....

After All That, The University Of North Dakota Chose A Boring New Nickname

DeMar DeRozan Ends Rudy Gobert's Life With Ferocious Dunk
