Daryl Morey Calls Out The Warriors For Dirty Play
The Rockets pulled out a win—even if the bench reacted like they were upset they now have to push back their flight to Cabo another couple of days. But after the game, GM Daryl Morey was sore about a couple of plays that went uncalled, and could have been outright dangerous....

Conor McGregor Grabs The UFC By The Dick, Squeezes
The strangest ongoing story in sports this week has been UFC featherweight champion Conor McGregor maybe (but probably not) retiring and either dropping out or being pulled from a main event fight against Nate Diaz in July on what the UFC would like to be their biggest-ever fight card....
The Blue Jays Lost In The Saddest Way
Sometimes, your team really bones it and gives up a walk-off home run. Or maybe they lose after a new MLB rule bites them in the ass. Both of those scenarios suck, but neither is outright embarrassing. The Blue Jays’ 4-3 loss to the Orioles in extras tonight, however, ended in sad, humiliating fashi...
Nearly Perfect: The Chicago Bulls Were Frauds
Children don’t pick their heroes, they gravitate to them. This youthful ignorance is blissful insofar as it frees one to feel that magnetic pull without questioning why it exists in the first place. The Jordan-era Chicago Bulls thus became the team of my childhood without any real reason beyond the...

ESPN's Darren Rovell On Nike Exploiting Chinese Workers: "It Is What It Is"
ESPN business reporter Darren Rovell, a man with many unread issues of The Economist in his bathroom, has a habit of using his Twitter account to explain that all sorts of terrible things are just fine so long as capitalists can profit from them. Racism? Totally cool if the market says it is. What a...
Family Movie Night At Titans' Stadium Interrupted By Sprinklers
Going to an empty football stadium to lay on the grass and watch a movie on the jumbotron sounds like a perfectly pleasant way to spend a spring evening. It becomes remarkably less pleasant when the stadium forgets to shut off the automatic sprinklers:...
Secret Thermal Camera Footage Allegedly Shows Seven Pro Cyclists Using Illegal Motors In Bikes

Despite more suspicious evidence occasionally floating to ...
The Padres Made A Highlight
The Padres, they didn’t get out to a great start this year. They needed 31 innings before they scored their first run of the season. And they’re still at the bottom of the NL West ... but now in a tie, at least, with the Diamondbacks, who make great company for misery....
This Pitch Was So Bad That Adrian Beltre Had To Call Time To Laugh At It
Chris Tillman had a rough night. The Orioles pulled him after he gave up 6 runs in 5.1 innings of work. That’s nothing to be ashamed of, the Rangers can really hit and they’re in their home ballpark. However this pitch to Adrian Beltre is flat embarrassing....

Both Of J.J. Hardy's Dingers Were Teeny-Tiny Baby Dingers
The Orioles are knocking the stuffing out of the ball this year, and they remain the only undefeated team in Major League Baseball after today’s 9-5 comeback win over the Red Sox. Today’s hero was shortstop J.J. Hardy, who knocked in five runs and whacked two dingers....
Yasiel Puig's Got Moves On The Basepath
The Dodgers opened up Dodger Stadium for the season with a 4-2 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks and their weird new road uniforms (Rob Lowe is not a fan). L.A. had a slim lead for most of the game but Arizona came back at the end and scored all their runs after Kenta Maeda sat down. Yasiel Puig did,...
Bulgarian Soccer Guys Prove That Splashing Around In Puddles Never Gets Old
I would tell these guys playing deep in Bulgaria’s lower leagues on the bog that passes for a pitch to grow up, but it all looks like so much fun that I’m just mad me and my friends don’t jump and kick around in big puddles anymore:...

Hot, hot lug nuts sparked a fire in Dale Earnhardt Jr.’s pit midway through tonight’s race in Fort Worth, leading to a spectacular display of pyrotechnics that took crew members quite a bit of time to put out. The only thing hotter this week? Takes about Dale Jr.’s sandwich shilling....
