Marcus Peters Goes Into The Stands To Shut Down Heckler [Update]

The Chargers Clinched A Playoff Berth In Extremely Ballsy Fashion
The Chiefs went up two touchdowns with just over eight minutes left in the fourth quarter Thursday night, on a Damien Williams one-yard plunge to cap a 13-play drive.

I Hate That This Incredible Keenan Allen Catch Didn't Count
Keenan Allen has returned to form as Philip Rivers’s top targets on the Chargers following a slow start to the season.

It Only Took Four Bears To Make Jared Goff Look Like A Chump
Jared Goff had maybe the worst game of his career on Sunday night against the Bears, putting up just 180 passing yards on 44 attempts and tossing three non–Hail Mary interceptions and zero touchdowns in L.A.’s 15-6 loss. For a Rams team that had scored at least 29 points in each of its past six game...

Sleepy Dad LeBron Got His Rest And The Spurs Paid The Price
Last week LeBron James went on wine-drunk lifehacker Tim Ferriss’s podcast to talk about the day-to-day maintenance of one of the most natural wonders on earth: that is, his body.

Jamal Murray Adds A New Chapter To His Campaign Of Lakers Antagonism
Jamal Murray apparently loves being a dick to the Lakers. Last December he caused a brief kerfuffle by dribbling rudely around Lonzo Ball in the closing seconds of a Nuggets home win. Three months later he again pissed off the Lakers—and drew a classic Not Mad response from Lonzo—with something he s...
Lakers Fan Forgets How Numbers Work
A Lakers fan’s opportunity to win a getaway casino package was cut hilariously short when he had just an awful brain fart at Staples Center on Friday.
