Ben Simmons Gets Away With Elbowing Kyle Lowry In The Dick And Balls

Liverpool Couldn't Finish, And Now They Are (Probably) Finished
Liverpool were the better team. That might feel impossible after a game that saw Lionel Messi ruin the nights of millions of already angry Scousers, but it’s true.

The Sassy Clippers Once Again Made The Warriors Look Like Frauds
When the Warriors dropped Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Los Angeles Clippers, it seemed like it might’ve been because they were overconfident, lackadaisical, and maybe even a little tuned-out.
