Aaron Rodgers's Throwing Shoulder Is "Banged Up"
If this doesn’t fully explain Aaron Rodgers’s (relative) struggles this season, it sure goes a hell of a lot further than hypotheticals about his girlfriend. Rodgers appeared on the injury report for the first time this week with an unspecified injury to his right shoulder, and since there was no ob...

The Sixers' Latest Master Plan: Playing With Six Men
The winless Philadelphia 76ers were down by nine to the Pacers Wednesday night. Intentionally or not, six Sixers walked onto the court. That’s not allowed....
Olivia Munn Doesn't Appreciate Being Mentioned As A Possible "Off-Field Issue"
ESPN’s Rob Demovsky wrote an article titled “Five reasons why quarterback Aaron Rodgers is struggling,” in which he tries to figure out why the Packers’ star quarterback hasn’t been his impeccable self in the last few games.

This Dion Waiters Attempted Layup Is The Saddest Thing I've Ever Seen
Dion Waiters has been better this season, I swear. He’s shooting an astronomical 48% from three on 2.5 attempts per game, and his rebounding is up too. But he’s still Dion Waiters, and so we’re still treated to moments like this:...
DeMar DeRozan Ends Rudy Gobert's Life With Ferocious Dunk
Man, this is disappointing. I really like Rudy Gobert, and was looking forward to watching him this year. Instead, just nine games into his season, Raptors wing DeMar DeRozan ended his career and life with this dunk. How rude. ...
Nobody Makes Dirk Nowitzki Bleed His Own Blood
Kelly Olynyk was frequently compared to Dirk Nowitzki coming out of college. Mostly because they’re both tall gangly white guys, but also because of some similarities in their games, especially the post moves that they employ....
Evan Fournier Game-Winning Three Sinks Timberwolves
Neither the Timberwolves nor the Magic have been any good in the last few years, and while they aren’t quite there yet, both are candidates to nab a low playoff seed this season. That meant what would normally have been a dreary November match-up had a little bit of spark to it. And with the game kn...
New York Belongs To King Kristaps
Okay, yes, a 7-foot-3 rookie averaging 12 points and eight rebounds through the first 12 games of his career isn’t the wildest thing to ever happen. And, yes, Knicks fans should probably know better than to give their hearts to a guy on an unexpected and brief run of brilliance. But say hello to the...

Brandon Knight Spins His Defender Like A Top
Brandon Knight is a solid player who has had the misfortune of being on the wrong end of a few memorable plays. With that in mind, it’s nice to see him clowning on someone else for once:...
Kristaps Porzingis Has Bad Opinions About His Own Nickname
Remember when Kevin Durant tried to give himself the nickname, “The Servant?” That is a garbage nickname for a host of reasons, and thankfully nobody uses it. The first—and only, really—rule of nicknames is that you’re not allowed to give yourself one. The only time your input on your nickname is ap...
Reminder From Russell Westbrook: Don't Get It Twisted
The Celtics beat up on the Durant-less Thunder last night, and Marcus Smart had a better game than opposing point guard Russell Westbrook. After the game, one reporter asked Westbrook if Smart, being a big, physical guard, is a particularly tough matchup for him. Westbrook did not take kindly to thi...
Aaron Rodgers Criticizes Packers Fan Who Screamed "MUSLIMS SUCK!" During Moment Of Silence
Morons at Lambeau Field interrupted yesterday’s league-mandated moment of silence for Paris terrorism victims with all manner of ejaculations, including “MUSLIMS SUCK!” (We isolated a crowd-level audio feed of the moment in the above video.) Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers addressed the remark in ...
Fred Hoiberg And Derrick Rose Can't See Eye-To-Eye On Double Vision Diagnosis
Derrick Rose has been playing this season with double vision produced by a broken left orbital bone in his face. I am no medical expert, but this sounds like an active hindrance to the practice of playing NBA basketball, and Rose’s career-low stats back this up....
Brook Lopez Missed An Easy Game-Winner Against The Warriors
The Warriors got as close to losing as they have all year, as the Brooklyn Nets somehow took them to overtime. Incredibly, they really should have won it here but Brook Lopez missed this easy tip....
