UC Irvine head coach Russell Turner gave a peek behind his coaching strategy after the Anteaters’ 73-54 loss to Oregon in Sunday’s second-round game, and he inadvertently revealed that he’s as creative as a Facebook denizen who loves sports meme pages and calls the Dallas Cowboys the “Cowgirls.”...

The Blues Ruthlessly Tormented Oilers Goalies Tonight

Blues forwards were practically la...
This Is A Good Basketball Photo
St. Bonaventure’s Nelson Kaputo, along with his teammates and the Bonnies fans, watch as his last-ditch three-point shot, his only attempt of the game, travels toward the hoop. Part of me doesn’t want to give away whether it went in or not, because the facial expressions are so good and ambiguous. O...
The St. Louis Blues Have Received A Miracle In The Form Of Some Guy Named Jordan Binnington
Earlier in the season, the St. Louis Blues were a disaster. They had fired head coach Mike Yeo in November, started fighting each other in practice in December, and tried to repair morale by bringing in a puppy.

Louisiana Overturns Bullshit Rule Barring Undocumented Students From Playing High School Sports
It seems especially difficult to find good news for undocumented immigrants right now, but here is something nice. Thanks to intense community involvement and legal push-back, Louisiana’s undocumented students will now be able to play high school sports in the state, after a deeply unpopular rule—wh...
Sensitive Pee Baby Yadier Molina Didn't Like Kris Bryant Calling St. Louis "Boring"
The Chicago Cubs held their annual fan convention over the weekend, and one of the festivities was former Cubs pitcher Ryan Dempster hosting a mock late night show with current Cubs players as his guests.

This Was Somehow Called An Unsportsmanlike Foul On Louisville
Either Notre Dame’s Brianna Turner slipped or she’s a shameless flopper, but regardless of how she ended up on the floor, Louisville forward Bionca Dunham shouldn’t have been hit with a flagrant-1 for simply playing defense here....
Louis Riddick Shares His Extremely Smart Thoughts About Addiction And Mental Health
Louis Riddick wasn’t responding directly to fellow ESPNer Stephen A. Smith’s latest dose of stupid, but in this clip from this morning’s episode of Get Up, it certainly seemed like that’s what Riddick was doing....
College Hoops' Most Brutal Losing Streak Is Over
The streak wasn’t mentioned much. Sure, everyone wearing a purple Eutectics hoodie on campus knew that the St. Louis College of Pharmacy men’s basketball team hadn’t won a game in four years—that sort of ineptitude earns a modicum of notoriety—but future pharmacists don’t generally spend upwards of ...
Blues Add Puppy To Practice So Hopefully Players Will Stop Fighting

More Than You Probably Wanted To Know About The Rules On A Puck Hitting A Ref's Dick And Balls
Just an excellent hockey highlight from Tuesday’s 4-3 Blues win over the Panthers, as St. Louis defenseman Robert Bortuzzo—fresh off of beating the hell out of a teammate in practice—tried to dump in a puck and ended up banking it off of referee Tim Peel’s biscuits, past goalie Roberto Luongo, and i...
Goal Disallowed After Puck Ricochets Off Unfortunate Referee's Dick And Balls
The Florida Panthers are up on the St. Louis Blues by the score of 1–0 in the second period Tuesday night. The score looked for a moment like it would be tied at one goal apiece, after Blues defenseman Robert Bortuzzo beat Roberto Luongo in, um, unconventional fashion:...
Blues Players Just Straight Up Start Whaling On Each Other In Practice
This is it, folks: The most exciting moment of the Blues’ season. It’s all downhill from here. (And, uh, was all downhill to get here. Don’t think about it too hard.)...
The Diamondbacks Dealt Paul Goldschmidt For Peanuts
The St. Louis Cardinals became a much more fun team yesterday, and they barely gave up anything to pull it off. On Wednesday, baseball’s most uptight franchise sent three fairly irrelevant players to the Arizona Diamondbacks, who in return gave them big-time slugging first baseman Paul Goldschmidt, ...

Patrik Laine Pooped On The Blues
The Winnipeg Jets put an 8–4 beatdown on the St. Louis Blues Saturday night. I am told ... yes, my sources are confirming that the Blues are, in fact, crud, but that should not in any way detract from the performance of exemplary hockey man Patrik Laine, who spent the evening shredding the hell out ...
It's Been 12 Hours Since The Blues Fired Their Coach, So It's Time To Talk About Joel Quenneville
Following a shutout loss to the lowly Los Angeles Kings—the first team to fire their coach this year—the St. Louis Blues announced that they were ditching head coach Mike Yeo, who helmed the team for two full seasons with very limited success.
