Bucks Fans Purchase Billboard Urging Team To Tank
Remember this: for how awful and dumb the Knicks were last night, they were still better than the Bucks. There's not a lot of short-term hope in Milwaukee, so some concerned fans have paid for a billboard that would seem to emphasize lottery balls over basketballs....

The New York Knicks, In One Tidy End-Of-Game Bungling
Here are your 2013 New York Knicks, Knicksing it up in Madison Square Garden against the Washington Wizards. The Wizards, incidentally, hadn't won in New York since 2006.

From a recent Jamie Jackson article in the Guardian:...
Steven Jackson Bowls Over Josh Wilson Thanks To Secret Powerup
Most sports mavens considered Steven Jackson's career to be all-but over entering the 2013 season. (The last time we wrote about him here was nearly four years ago.)

Wichita News Anchor Is Ready To "Get The Fuck Out Of Here"
If we've learned anything about broadcasting, it's to always treat a nearby microphone like it's a hot mic. Wichita NBC affiliate KSNW could work on teaching its anchors this, because Justin Kraemer signed off to SNL last night with an f-bomb....
Mark Scheifele's Shift Was Over Anyway
The rookie center for the Winnipeg Jets had some help getting off the ice, but none from his bench. Is this like in baseball when the rookie gets his first home run and no one congratulates him when he gets back in the dugout?...
