MLB Tells Aaron Judge To Stop Saying Nice Things About Manny Machado<em></em>
Speaking to reporters before yesterday’s spring training game between the Yankees and the Orioles, Aaron Judge praised Orioles star Manny Machado and said he’d sort of limply recruited Machado. “Adding him to our lineup that we already got would be something special,” Judge said. “I told him he’d lo...
Shit, There Might Be Logic Behind The Jets' Plan At Quarterback
The Jets wanted to land Kirk Cousins, and they reportedly offered even more than the Vikings did to get him. After that fell through, they immediately turned to Plan B, which involved re-signing Josh McCown and adding Teddy Bridgewater. At first glance, it looked like the Jets spent $15 million for ...
Collin Sexton Is Absurd
Alabama upset No. 16 Auburn 81-64 in the SEC quarterfinals today, with the Crimson Tide leaning heavily on guard Collin Sexton to keep their NCAA Tournament hopes alive.

Russell Westbrook Downs Kings With Soul-Crushing Buzzer-Beating Three

Future Georgetown Hoya Mac McClung Does The Coolest Dunks
Georgetown fizzled out again Tuesday night, losing 73-69 to Providence. It was the team’s ninth loss in Big East play and the Hoyas’ fourth loss this season in which they had led with under four minutes to go.

Paul George Is Everything The Thunder Need Him To Be
Last night, the Thunder traveled to Oakland and were the best version of themselves, a team that overwhelms and antagonizes the opponent while producing bushels of cool-ass highlights. If you’re into Warriors schadenfreude then you probably relished Draymond Green getting ejected for yelling a whol...

Add Andre Roberson To The List Of Important NBA Players Lost To Season-Ending Injuries
Andre Roberson takes a lot of shit for being among the worst non-center shooters in the NBA, and for how that lack of shooting has, in the past, badly cramped the spacing for certain Oklahoma City Thunder lineups. Those inclined towards giving him shit will be relieved, then, to learn that he will b...
