The Nassau Coliseum Was Not A Dump: What The Isles Are Leaving Behind
In October 2012, a month into the NHL lockout, with the schedule already beginning to crumble, the New York Islanders made a big announcement: Upon expiration of their lease in 2015, the Isles would be leaving the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum, their publicly owned home of 40 years, for Brooklyn...
Umps Don't Give A Shit As Astros Make Illegal Pitching Change
The human element is really on a roll this week. Approximately 24 hours after the umpires in Cleveland reviewed an obvious home run and declared it wasn't a home run, another blue crew in Houston allowed the Astros to make a pitching change that is explictly prohibited by MLB's rules....
Astros Fan Behind Home Plate Really Wants You To See His Fake Dong
We pride ourselves on vigilance to behind-the-plate fan frivolity, what with jackasses pantomiming blowjobs at Wrigley or dudes outfitting themselves in Marlins gear during non-Marlins postseason games. So when this fan at last night's Angels-Astros game kept standing up to show off his fake dong, ...
You'll Be Able To See The Bay Bridge From Inside The Warriors' New Arena
The Warriors have released updated renderings of their potential arena on the San Francisco waterfront. It's tough to give the interior of a basketball arena much character, but if the final product looks anything like the preliminary designs, this one is going to be sweet. ...
LeBron's Fourth MVP Is Pushing Him Into Ludicrous Territory
Reports are swarming that LeBron James will be named the NBA’s MVP for the fourth time in the past five seasons. Somehow this makes Derrick Rose’s 2011 MVP — the only blemish in that stretch for LeBron — seem all the more impressive, if all the more anomalous. Only four other players (Kareem Abdul-J...
Here Is A Dog Riding A Scooter At A Baseball Game
It's been awhile since we checked in on our favorite baseball "sideline" reporter Jim Knox, but he's once again finding the weird and wondrous at Texas Rangers baseball games. Tonight? A dog that rides a scooter....

This is Kelly Nash, who covers the Rays for Fox Sports Florida, taking a photo of herself at the exact moment that a baseball went whizzing by her head. This is perhaps the greatest selfie ever taken....
The Arizona Sundogs Enter Day 6 In Their Sky Prison
Yesterday we brought you the story of a minor league hockey ticket promotion that has turned into a test of endurance. The sun has risen, we've hit hour 115, and the prisoners remain aloft until the Sundogs can hit their season ticket quota. But they're oh-so-close....
Here's Steve Nash In A Wheelchair, So Good Luck With That, Lakers Fans
We knew Steve Nash was a wreck. Injuries made him look like an old man last night, so he's getting an epidural for his <strike>hamstring</strike> back today in the hopes of playing in Game 3. He also has a bad hamstring, and nerve damage in his hip, which probably aren't good things for a basketball...
When Minor League Hockey Promotions Go Wrong
On Sunday, an Arizona minor league hockey team's owner, GM, captain, and marketing director perched themselves atop a scissor lift. They would not come down, they declared, until the team sold 300 season tickets. It has been 94 hours. The team has not sold 300 season tickets. They are still up there...
The Lakers Are Breaking Down
The Lakers lost, 102-91, to fall down 0-2 in their matchup with San Antonio. The game was unremarkable: the lead was eight at the half, 10 after the third; the Spurs were their usual, relentless, efficient selves. The Lakers were directionless, and with two more possibly significant injures, it migh...
Arsenal Fan Banned Three Years For Throwing Banana At Gareth Bale
An Arsenal supporter had his day in court this morning, about a month after hurling a banana at Tottenham star Gareth Bale during the North London Derby. I guess that's racial progress?...
Peyton Siva Learns An Important Lesson: Never Sext With Self-Proclaimed "Twitter Models"
Senior point guard Peyton Siva paced the Cardinals last night like he has all season. To go with a Big East Tournament MVP, a lovable father, and a National Championship, he can add this: he had his spot blown up by a "Twitter model" whose whole game seems to be putting athletes and rappers on blast...

Steve Nash "Knows How To Rub Off A Man"
Not with speed, necessarily, but with—actually, just forget it. If you need me, I'll be in the corner giggling with my 13-year-old-sense-of-humored peers. ...
Auto Club 400 Ends With Denny Hamlin In An Ambulance And Tony Stewart Brawling With Joey Logano [UPDATE: Now With Smoke's Profane Post-Race Interview]
Kyle Busch took the checkered flag today in California, but attention quickly turned to Denny Hamlin—whose crash sent him to the hospital and which let Busch take the lead on the final lap—and Joey Logano, who tangled with Hamlin and eventually found himself the target of Tony Stewart's fists....
The Potential New Sonics Arena Sure Would Have A Lot Of Standing Room
The optimistic Seattle ownership group led by Chris Hansen has released some mock-ups of what the interior of a new arena might look like, and huh—it looks a lot more crowded than the last time the Sonics played in Seattle....
NASCAR Fines Denny Hamlin For Criticizing Its New Car Model; Hamlin Simply Says, "I'm Not Going To Pay"
Aside from the terrifying Nationwide wreck and the hype around Danica Patrick's pole, the Daytona 500 was kind of boring. Lots of single file racing, few passes, little excitement. The afternoon saw 28 lead changes among 14 drives, down from 74 and 22 in the same race just two years ago. Worryingly,...
