What The Hell Was Aaron Rodgers Doing In This Weird Tent?
The most noteworthy moment from tonight’s Packers-Eagles game was Aaron Rodgers disappearing into a MYSTERY TENT for a bit in the third quarter for some reason. It was initially unclear what the tent was or why Rodgers entered it, and Lisa Salters wasn’t sure what Rodgers was doing....

The Strange Case Of The Manhattan Bandit, Serial High School Track And Field Cheater
It seems like it would be fairly difficult to cheat in a cross country or track race. There’s little gamesmanship in foot racing. You show up, you run for the allotted distance, and you finish. It’s a punishingly simple sport, and unless you are doping, cheating is sort of impossible. Which is all t...

Aaron Rodgers Threw One Of The Prettiest Passes You'll See All Season
Aaron Rodgers is negating with the Eagles’ fearsome pass rush tonight by getting the football out very quickly and not allowing them the time that they would normally be using to put the Packers QB on his ass. Green Bay moved the ball efficiently throughout the first half and they converted their fi...

DeMarcus Cousins Wishes Professional Ruin Upon John Wall
The Kings and Wizards are playing tonight in front of about 17 people in Washington D.C. It’s a fairly unimportant meeting between two sad sack teams, but it allowed Kentucky teammates DeMarcus Cousins and John Wall to reminisce about their friendship and look toward the future, a future in which Co...

James Harden And Clint Capela Are Here To Bless Us With Alley-Oops
Clint Capela is a passable basketball player. But he is very, very nice to pass to if you are the new point guard incarnation of James Harden. You might be surprised to see the third-year center elbow out DeAndre Jordan and—much more to the point—Dwight Howard for the highest field goal percentage i...

Dwight Howard Confronts Shit-Talking Fan
Dwight Howard hears it from fans every time he returns to Los Angeles to play against the Lakers, and last night was no different:...

The Minnesota Timberwolves Are In A Weird Place Right Now
As an increasingly hopeless Wizards fan, I feel qualified to say this to everyone who’d hoped the early season would look more promising for the young Minnesota Timberwolves: this is just sorta what happens when a team is rich in talent but poor in, you know, really knowing how to play good NBA bask...

LeBron James Blocks Layup With His Presence
I’m putting the full highlight reel from LeBron James’s 26-10-13 beatdown of the Sixers in this post, because maybe it’s been awhile since you’ve taken a few minutes to really enjoy a set of vintage LeBron James highlights. If you want to see a few bulldozing drives to the rim, some adept and punish...

Kris Humphries Shatters Backboard, Ends Practice Early
The simplest way to get out of something you don’t want to do is to create an excuse centered on yourself: you’re sick, your grandmother died, etc. The most effective way to get out of something you don’t want to do is to ruin that something entirely: why sit on the bleachers with a feigned headache...

Kemba Walker Is Why You Shouldn't Give Up On Young Players
To really appreciate how far Kemba Walker has come, dust off that copy of NBA 2K12, slide it into your wheezing Xbox 360, and find young Kemba on the roster of the 7-59 Charlotte Bobcats, where he is stuck behind D.J. friggin’ Augustin on the depth chart, slinging passes to the likes of Byron Mullen...

Love Is Real: Gucci Mane Got Engaged At The Hawks Game Tonight
Gucci Mane was a distinguished guest of the Hawks tonight, and while the Hawks lost the Bird Derby to the Pelicans, Gucci was the star of the evening.

Barack Obama Got Some Decent Jokes Off At Michael Jordan's Expense
Michael Jordan, the famous denim icon, received the Presidential Medal Of Freedom from President Obama this afternoon at the White House, along with Vin Scully and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar.
