Russell Westbrook On Reggie Jackson's Celebration: "Some Real Bullshit"

Detroit is sitting in the seven-spot in the East and their odds of making the postseason look good after pulling away fro...
What's Wrong With The Oklahoma City Thunder?

The Thunder Are Sounding Pretty Grim After Their Collapse Against The Clippers
This will sound deeply strange, but: the Thunder are in survival mode.

All the Thunder functionally have left t...

Burger King's Hot Dogs Are A Tasteful Middle Finger To Uppity Fast Food

Fast-Food Smackdown: Burger King's Jalapeño Chicken Fries Vs. Taco Bell's Quesalupa
Life, being pain, will sometimes trap even the most careful fast-foodie in the burgerless hellscape of a bullshit “real” restaurant that offers six total options: beef, chicken, this kind of fish, that kind of fish, some mushroom-pasta thing, and a wild card that is probably duck or beans. The meat-...
