Alec Burks Crosses Over Kobe Bryant, Likely Earns Kobe's Eternal Ire
Jazz guard Alec Burks achieved a neat little highlight for himself when he crossed over Kobe Bryant, and drove for the layup with the foul. At least Kobe's embarassing blooper in the twilight of his career was a little more graceful than Paul Pierce's....
Blake Griffin Close To Something He May Think About Doing In The Future
NBA fights in this decade are usually the equivalent of very aggressive staring contests that could potentially escalate into two bros shoving each other while yelling, "not the face, man!" ...
But No, Seriously, What The Hell Are The Lakers Doing?
On Wednesday, we took a very brief look at how the Lakers are actively sabotaging themselves. Last night, they lost 119-86 to the Jazz, who suck, and furthered some of their deliberate bad tendencies. A couple new humiliating charts came across Twitter since our first post, so why not throw it in re...
Ballin'-Ass Steve Ballmer And His Dead Eyes Are Here To Frighten You
New Clippers owner Steve Ballmer is the subject of Bloomberg Businessweek's latest cover story, and oh my God, what in the hell is going on with this cover?...
College Football Jell-O Shots: An Unauthorized Guide
Ten days after I'd purchased 20 college football Jell-O molds, the terrible news arrived: No one eats Jell-O anymore. Five days later, we learned that the kids are abandoning college football, too....
Lululemon's Buffalo Store Taunts Fans With "Wide Right/No Goal"
Being a Buffalo sports fan can be pretty depressing. The Bills are, at best, mediocre and remain the only franchise to lose four Super Bowls in a row while winning zero. The Sabres offer little relief, having also won zero championships and promising to be one of the worst teams in the NHL this seas...
The Lakers Will Play Terrible Basketball, On Purpose
Byron Scott gave an interview last week following the Lakers' first preseason game; it went largely ignored, because preseason is stupid and no one cares. But with the Lakers looking like one of the more conspicuous disasters going so far—without any plans of tanking, bear in mind—let's take a quick...
Jonathan Quick Slips A Fan An Autograph From The Bench
This is from a Kings' preseason game in Las Vegas on Oct. 4, with the video only posted online this weekend. It shows L.A. goalie Jonathan Quick surreptitiously passing an autograph to a fan through the glass during pregame introductions, which is a pretty cool thing for a guy seconds from taking ...
Ronnie Price Loses Shoe, Turns Over Ball, Throws Shoe, Gets Technical
Via @cjzero, here's Lakers point guard Ronnie Price losing his shoe, turning over the ball, and throwing the shoe at Andre Iguodala in an attempt to play defense. The shoe throw didn't work, of course, and Price received a technical foul for his innovation....
Boxer Gets Punched In The Dick So Hard He Can't Continue, Loses Fight
Last night on ESPN's Wednesday Night Fights, Carlos Velasquez took on journeyman boxer Jean Sotelo. Velasquez was heavily favored, and for the round and a half, dominated Sotelo. Then he punched Sotelo right in the dick....
There's Nothing Wrong With The Dodgers Spending A Lot Of Money
Fox Sports' Ken Rosenthal has a column up today that rightly marvels at the St. Louis Cardinals' ability to consistently win in the postseason. Things take a weird turn, though, when Rosenthal starts referring to the Los Angeles Dodgers as the "Dollars."...
Cardinals Beat Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw On Three-Run Homer
The crucial talking point preceding Game 4 between the Dodgers and Cardinals was "sample size." That mainly had to do with Dodgers manager Don Mattingly's decision to bench Yasiel Puig and start Andre Ethier in the outfield instead because of Puig's struggles in the first three games of the series. ...
Yasiel Puig Benched For Game 4
Yasiel Puig has barely been a warm body since the start of September, but Don Mattingly chose today's potential elimination game to make the change. Puig is out of the lineup, replaced by nonentity Andre Ethier....
Matt Kemp Blasts Dale Scott's Strike Zone: "The Worst I've Ever Seen"
John Lackey was masterful and the L.A. bullpen couldn't hold the fort in last night's 3-1 Cardinals win, but afterward, all a number of Dodgers could talk about was home plate umpire Dale Scott. Matt Kemp went off:...
Dodgers Pitcher J.P. Howell Turns Amazing Double Play
With the Cardinals looking to stretch their 3–1 lead in the bottom of the 8th inning, Dodgers pitcher J.P. Howell pulled off a remarkable stop to turn the double play and get out of the inning. With the bases loaded Howell somehow managed to snag Kolten Wong's grounder, throw home and get a double...
Lorenzo Cain Is Your Newest Playoff Star
If the Kansas City Royals' sweep of the Anaheim Angels left us with one lasting image, it will probably be that of Royals center fielder Lorenzo Cain just about losing his damn mind after making his second straight spectacular catch in the top of the fifth inning of last night's series-clinching w...

Cardinals-Dodgers Game One Was An Awesome Thrill Ride
The two National League playoff series finally kicked off yesterday, and while the Giants-Nationals opener was a solid appetizer, we'll really only be remembering the satisfying main course between St. Louis and Los Angeles, a 10-9 win for the Cardinals. ...
