How John Calipari's Juggled Kentucky's Lineups To A Near-Perfect Season

No One Invited You, Chris Brown
Something kinda weird happened yesterday: A remix of Beyoncé's "Jealous" featuring none other than known garbage man Chris Brown randomly popped up on the internet. It's odd, because Beyoncé would presumably and rightfully never work with C-Breezy. His bland verse offers nothing to the song, and the...
Sim Bhullar Is A Good Giant
The Kings called up 7-foot-5 Sim Bhullar from their D-League affiliate on Thursday and signed him to a 10-day contract, making him the first player of Indian descent in the league.

John Calipari's Deal Is Bad, Even For Players Whose Knees Survive It
Last week, I wrote about the ways that both pro- and anti-NCAA camps tend to miss the mark when talking about University of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari. He deserves less criticism for breaking NCAA rules and more for profiting from them, because even his “Players First” arrangement forc...

Aaron Rodgers Shuts Down Manbaby Reporter
Aaron Rodgers and his girlfriend, Olivia Munn, were sitting courtside at Wisconsin's Elite 8 victory over Arizona on Saturday, and because Rodgers is basically royalty in the state of Wisconsin, they got to go onto the court and join the postgame festivities.

Kentucky Keeps Perfect Season Alive In Worst Way Possible
Despite trailing Notre Dame numerous times in the second half, Kentucky overcame a below-average offensive night and a stunning performance from Irish forward Zach Auguste to advance to the Final Four and improve their record to 38-0 thanks to two free throws by Andrew Harrison with six seconds rema...
We Need To Talk About How We Talk About John Calipari
The New York Times, a grandfather clock that tells you what time it was five minutes ago, roused itself to a state of drowsy confusion on Tuesday to recount Kentucky coach John Calipari's long history of violating NCAA rules and escaping consequences....
Wichita State Knows What It's Doing On Offense. At Least One Team Does.
The Wichita State Shockers are impressive for a lot of reasons—their beatdown of geographic rival Kansas and top-10 defense, or for the simple possibility that they can trade punches with Kentucky in a tournament rematch, should WSU defeat Notre Dame later tonight. But at the minimum, praise Gregg M...
Closed Captioning Error Blesses Nik Stauskas With Fantastic Nickname
Something wonderful happened during Tuesday night’s game between the 76ers and Kings.

Don't Coat Your Innards With Space Oil To Conserve Ketchup
You know how there's always a little bit of ketchup that you never quite get out of the bottle? It coats the inside; even if you do the thing where you stand the bottle on its head for 24 hours to let it all ooze down close to the nozzle, some of it never comes out, and goes in the trash....
A Courtside View Of Pat Connaughton's Block
Notre Dame's OT win over Butler on Saturday was probably the best tournament game of the weekend, and it might not have gone that long had Irish senior guard Pat Connaughton not swooped in to swat down a Kellen Dunham shot with one second left in regulation. ...
Bob Huggins's Daughters Call Dez Wells A Rapist
Maryland guard Dez Wells was kicked off the Xavier men's basketball team in 2012 after being accused of sexual assault.
