Report: Knicks Might Try Drafting In The First Round For Once
When the reports started coming down yesterday that the Knicks were seeking Kyle Lowry from the Raptors in exchange for a package including a 2018 first-rounder, it sounded eminently logical. Not in the "that's a smart move" sense, but in the "of course the Knicks are going to give up on a draft tha...
Atlanta Hawks Cheerleaders Star In Awful <em>Sharknado</em> Spoof
Hey, the Atlanta Hawks: What the hell?...
Dad Saves Daughter From Flying Basketball Player
Well done, Knicksdad! Your paternal instinct to protect your offspring won out over your natural desire to touch a professional athlete. Truly you are the dad of the year. (If you had let her get hurt, the Knicks probably would have given you some signed swag, maybe even free tickets. Next time.)...

Texas Rangers Draft Russell Wilson (Yes, That One)
In today's Rule 5 draft, which allows teams to snatch up other teams' minor leaguers not on a 40-man roster but with a certain amount of service time, the Rangers took Russell Wilson, second baseman. He's probably not going to make much of an impact for Texas: he's got a pretty good football career ...
John Henson And His T-Shirt Think The NCAA Is A Scam
Milwaukee Bucks forward John Henson spent three years at the University of North Carolina before jumping to the NBA, and it looks like those three years as a Tar Heel left him with a pretty solid understanding of what the NCAA is really about. You're all right, John Henson....
This Hilarious Knicks Fan's Rant Is The Epitome Of Knicks Fandom
Believe it or not, the Knicks' 41-point loss to the Celtics this Sunday has at least one fan fed up. This video from said disgruntled fan could be the new manifesto for Knicks fandom nation-wide. While it's probably in some part staged, everything "Billy" says is gospel....
No, ESPN Didn't Accidentally Leak Nick Saban As The New Texas Coach
We received this tip about ESPN using an interesting slug for a story about Mack Brown resigning. (The bookmarks bar is blacked out to hide identity.) Did Nick Saban sign a five-year deal to be the new Longhorns coach? Nah. It's fake....
Back In The Hobbit: <em>The Desolation Of Smaug</em>, Reviewed.
Expectations are such tricky things when it comes to movies. Before the first installment in Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings trilogy debuted at the end of 2001, there was no guarantee that it would go on to become one of Hollywood's most profitable and Academy-approved franchises. Jackson an...
Kansas City Sportscaster Maintains He Didn't Call KU The "Gayhawks"
This is one of the more confusing controversies in a while. Jack Harry, a sportscaster for KSHB in Kansas City who doesn't hide his Missouri sympathies, said something on Sunday night. Check the video above and try to figure it out....
Wikipedia vandalism is generally tired, but let's make an exception for James Dolan's band, JD & The Straight Shot. USA Today pointed out some since-corrected Knicks jokes in the song titles, but there are already a few more to replace them. ("Don't Waste My Time I've Got a Team to Run Into the Grou...
Corey Perry Can't Be Stopped
I want to give Corey Perry all the credit in the world for this gorgeous goal-of-the-year candidate, a deking, falling, sliding shot from his knees. But then I remember it comes against the Islanders, who have lost 10 in a row and probably still would have conceded a goal had all of Perry's limbs fa...
Do The Bears Need Jay Cutler?
Let's not get silly. There's no quarterback controversy in Chicago. Yes, Josh McCown had played excellently as Jay Cutler deals with a series of injuries. But McCown is just a capable backup, filling in until Cutler's healthy. Cutler's the face of the Bears—he'll get his job back the second he's cle...
Police Arrest Prankster Who Offered Tony Dungy The USC Job
When last we met Ken Tarr, he was riding high off the Dungy-to-USC prank and planned on offering Will Muschamp a middling position at a middling program just to "see if he gets insulted or not." Now he's in a Los Angeles jail, on suspicion of felony eavesdropping. ...

Steelers Lineman Shoves Hand Into Opponent's Taint During Fumble Scrum
Steelers center Cody Wallace resorted to gross tactics during a scrum for a fumble, shoving his hand into the ambiguous butt/crotch area of Dolphins defensive tackle Randy Starks. (It happens at the 0:16 mark.) As you can see from the video, Starks obviously felt it....
Thornton Didn't Mean To Hurt The Guy He Tripped And Punched In The Face
When forward Shawn Thornton tripped Brooks Orpik and repeatedly punched him in the head, it sure looked like he knew what he was doing. How could he not have? Did the soul of Matt Cooke momentarily possess him? Did Angela Lansbury wave a queen of diamonds in his face? Is there any scenario in which ...
Sporting KC Wins MLS Cup On PKs That, For Once, Were Exciting
Sporting KC won their first MLS title since 2000 by outlasting Real Salt Lake last night in a match decided on penalty kicks, a usually-anticlimactic outcome that in this instance turned out to be thrilling....
Brooks Orpik Carted Off After Shawn Thornton Punches Him Into The Ice
Brad Marchand was tripped in front of the Bruins bench and, as he skated by, James Neal drove his knee right through Marchand's head. Play stopped shortly thereafter and Bruins teammates converged on several Penguins, including Brooks Orpik. Earlier, Orpik knocked Louis Eriksson out of the game on ...

This is Brooks. He just won $100,000 at the SEC Championship throwing a football like a straight-up asshole. Who throws a football like that? ...
