Louisiana High School Coach Bans Nick Saban From Campus For "Not Being Ethical"

Kyrie Irving Did Whatever He Wanted With The Basketball
From the very first possession of the game, you knew Kyrie had the ball on its usual leash. He flies past Russell Westbrook off a pick, loses control and more or less rolls the ball across the paint, then resettles in the corner and loops back around to the arc. By now he’s cut an odd path through t...

Enes Kanter Broke His Arm Punching A Chair [Update]
Thunder big man Enes Kanter, clearly fed up with his team’s first-half struggles against the lowly Dallas Mavericks, took his frustrations out on an innocent bench chair and socked it. He probably didn’t expect it to bite back, but he somehow failed to properly punch a stationary chair, and he left ...
Clutch Time Is Westbrook Time
By now you are aware that the Oklahoma City Thunder’s chances of winning or losing any game rest almost entirely on the shoulders of Russell Westbrook—the fact that he’s still averaging 30-10-10 in late January makes his impact on the team perfectly clear—but today is a good day to appreciate just h...

The evidence is as follows:...
Russell Westbrook Has No Time For The Warriors
The season’s second reunion between Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant did not make for a particularly close game, but it was still plenty entertaining. The Warriors beat the Thunder, 121-100, and Durant had 40 points on 16 shots. Westbrook had a triple double (a quadruple double if you count turnov...
Kevin Durant Tries, Fails The Russell Westbrook Dunk

Here's A Video Of Alabama Fans Watching Their Team Lose The Championship
AL.com filmed three groups of Alabama football fans as they reacted to two crucial scores in Monday’s CFP Championship: Jalen Hurts’s 30-yard touchdown to give the Crimson Tide a lead with two minutes left, and Clemson receiver Hunter Renfrow’s game-winning TD with one second left. Don’t skip ahead;...
Clemson's Offensive Line Turned Da'Ron Payne Into A Blocking Sled
For an interior defensive lineman, short fourth downs and goal-line stands seem like the most exciting situations a football game can offer the position—their shot to get low, blow through an aggressive wall of meat, and make the play in the backfield. But as Alabama’s Da’Ron Payne discovered, if y...
It's Deshaun Watson's Time
This National Championship game felt familiar, Clemson slogging early against a world-class Alabama defense before, gradually, luring them into exactly the Tigers’ type of game: a shootout. (The only difference being, maybe, that this year the clock ran out with the score in Clemson’s favor.) The co...
That Last Alabama Drive Was Terrifying
More than any other team in sports, Alabama football feels the most futile to root against. Over and over, they’ve stamped out nascent comebacks with two well-timed turnovers or turned a 14-10 game into a 28-10 game in two minutes of work. These are the sorts of ways you can win games when you’re bi...

Clemson Dethrones Alabama And Wins National Championship With Last-Second Touchdown
The National Championship rematch between Alabama and Clemson was just as fraught and close as 2016's all-time classic, but unlike last year, it ended with Alabama getting their hearts ripped out and Clemson wining their first title since 1981....
This Is Not Targeting, Somehow?
Mike Williams hung on and got the first down here, but it cost him a huge shot from Alabama DB Tony Brown. There was no penalty called on the play, even if it appeared to be a fairly clear targeting violation. The Tigers held him out for the rest of the drive, but ESPN reported that he was medically...

Clemson Director Of Sports Medicine Not Into Scientific Studies, Very Into Knee Braces
