Tim Duncan Smoothly Gives Fan The Finger In Most Boring And Fundamentally Sound Athlete Meltdown Ever
First, let's get this out of the way: Don't whip our your camera and film athletes when you see them in person. Like the woman who sent this video to us. She was at the CVS on Chase Hill Blvd. in northwestern San Antonio on Friday, heard Tim Duncan was in the store, and returned to her car to wait...
Jason Bay And The Mets Are, Mercifully, Getting A Divorce
One never likes to cheer a breakup, even if the pair was wrong for each other from the get-go, and even if the pair deeply, habitually wounded one another. A breakup is a failure. It's pathetic. It's time wasted, and we have so little of it on this earth....

Steve Blake Apologized To The Fan He Cursed Out, Possibly Because The Fan's Father Is A Big Shot
Friday's "home" loss to the Clippers was frustrating for the then-winless Lakers, and especially for Steve Blake. Getting his first start of the season, Blake racked up three times as many fouls as baskets. Blake heard it from the crowd, but specifically from one fan named Lance Jackson, sitting c...
76ers Forward And Romney Supporter Lavoy Allen Didn't Let Last Night's Election Results Stop Him From Macking
Lavoy Allen voted for Mitt Romney yesterday, so he was no doubt disappointed with how the election turned out. Permafaced actress Stacey Dash was also a Mitt Romney supporter, and was probably bummed out last night, too. Allen, however, tried to make the best of things, and saw last night as the pe...
Which State Would Win A 50-State Battle Royal?
Oh hey, it's Election Day. Don't forget to vote! Just kidding. I don't give a crap if you vote or not. It just makes me feel like a BIG SERIOUS PERSON to lecture all of you about going out and voting. It's the Easterbrookian thing to do. You have a duty to your country and your Lord. Now get out the...
David Stern Did Some Play-By-Play Announcing Last Night
David Stern joined the Utah Jazz broadcast team during last night's Jazz-Grizzlies game to talk about the state of the NBA or something else equally boring. The interview wasn't a complete waste of time, though, because it gave Stern the opportunity to test his announcing chops and call some of th...

Did Ray Allen Change His Phone Number Or Just Dodge The Celtics' Calls?
Maybe you missed this because you were following any of the 300 more important NBA storylines, but the ballad of Ray Allen's cell phone has been one of the dumber and more fascinating subplots of the early NBA season. Let's recap....
Chris Paul Embarrassed Most Of The Cleveland Defense On This One Play
Spin move past Kyrie Irving, crossover on Samardo Samuels, ball fake Anderson Varejao out of his headband. They're all just AI characters in Chris Paul's video game, helplessly watching him fill up the combo meter....
Dion Waiters's 28-Point Performance Put A Big Smile On His Face
The Cleveland Cavaliers downed the Clippers in Los Angeles last night 108-101 thanks to some mega-clutch fourth quarter play from Dion Waiters (with a little help from Kyrie Irving). Waiters hit back-to-back threes in the final minutes to hold off Chris Paul and Blake Griffin, and the result put bi...

Ben Folds Five Wants To Be The Charlotte Bobcats' Pep Band
The Charlotte Bobcats won their opener the other night, which is an occasion in and of itself. Sure, things returned to normal the next night when they lost to the Mavericks by 27, but Bobcats fever is spreading, so much so that no less than alt-rock piano maestro Ben Folds wants to get his band (he...
Aaron Rodgers Is Very Sensitive About His Height
60 Minutes ran a profile of Aaron Rodgers last night, and it was, as is customary for most of their non-tennis sports segments, not really designed for sports fans. (Did you know the Packers play in a small town, but have won a lot of championships, and their fans really love the team? I hope you ...
Hornets Coach Monty Williams Hates The Sound Of His Own Complaining About Concussions
Last Friday, Hornets rookie sensation Anthony Davis suffered a mild concussion after taking an elbow to the head from his teammate, Austin Rivers. As a precaution, Davis was not allowed to fly with his team to Chicago on Saturday. Hornets coach Monty Williams was not happy about that, and expressed...

The Brooklyn Nets' New Mascot Basically Has The Same Name As A Porn Star
When the Nets left New Jersey, they left their old mascot, Sly, a wolf or rabbit or something, in New Jersey, along with Shawne Williams and the ghost of Kerry Kittles. The arena is new, the location is new, the mascot is new: the Nets now have BrooklyKnight (spelled like that, pronounced "Brooklyn ...
Beer of the Week: 3 Monts
Basketball resumed this week, and unless you are a Houston Rockets fan, who cares. The T-Wolves at Milwaukee just ain't opening day at Wrigley. The Nuggets flailing in Philadelphia simply isn't the first drop of the puck in Detroit or Boston or Montreal. I once lived in a house with some Steelers fa...
