Michael Jordan While Signing An Autograph For Obama: Pfffffft, Fuck It
Okay, so there is no way to know for sure whether, "Pffffft, fuck it," is what Michael Jordan said to himself while misspelling Barack Obama's name on a birthday present for the goddamn President of the United States, but you wouldn't put it past him, would you?...

Hey, Ricky Rubio Is Back And Making Fun Passes Again
Did you forget about Ricky Rubio? You probably forget about Ricky Rubio, because he's been out of action since Nov. 7, and nobody cares too much about what's going on with the Minnesota Timberwolves. But Rubio's back, and he is still his dazzling self....
Syracuse Conveniently Punishes Itself During Down Season
The Syracuse men's basketball team has self-imposed a postseason ban in an attempt to punish itself for athletic department violations that the NCAA has been investigating since 2007.

<i>Empire </i>Is A Great Show With A Badly Outdated Soundtrack
The third episode of Fox's wildly popular new hip-hop drama Empire featured Gladys Knight—given no introduction, or even a fictional name, though maybe she's supposed to be playing herself—singing at the funeral of a character killed off in the pilot after less than five minutes of screen time.

Counterpoint: Tom Brady Is One Of The Best Of All Time, Moron
I knew there would be a lot of shitty hot takes in the wake of yesterday's titanic Super Bowl. But I didn't know that the worst take of all would come from THIS VERY WEBSITE, from the otherwise perfectly reasonable Barry Petchesky. Barry is a Giants fan, so maybe his brain has been wadded up with ...
Tom Brady Can Finally Relax
Tom Brady's not the greatest quarterback of all time, not even after winning his fourth Super bowl and third Super Bowl MVP, so cool it with that talk. But he's quite probably the most successful. And in a team sport that's disproportionately reliant on one position, especially in the game's curre...
The Patriots Knew Exactly What Was Coming
Legacies turn on so little. Tom Brady and Bill Belichick take their places among the greatest of all time, and Pete Carroll instantly goes from defending champion/genius to goat, all thanks to one inexplicable play call, yes, but even more so because of one aggressive move from a rookie who wasn't e...

Marshawn Lynch Asked: "Tom Brady, Do You Think That Dude Gets Hyphy?"
Marshawn Lynch has said he hates talking to the media because he isn't comfortable with the attention. But could it actually be because he was asked the only question that matters seven years ago? Marshawn Lynch, do you feel that fellow Bay Area product Tom Brady gets hyphy?...
