Cousin Of Giants Safety Killed In San Bernardino Shooting
New York Giants safety Nat Berhe is from San Bernardino, Calif., where yesterday’s mass shooting took place. Today, he announced that one of his cousins was killed in the shooting....
Calvin Pryor Blames Rishard Matthews's Injury On Ryan Tannehill's Bad Throw
On the Dolphins’ third play from scrimmage in their 38-20 loss to the Jets, Ryan Tannehill threw a short pass behind Rishard Matthews. When Matthews turned for the ball—it went past him—Jets safety Calvin Pryor slammed into Matthews’s torso. He would leave the game with what were described as rib an...
Odell Beckham's Catch Was Absolutely Ridiculous, Again
It makes you wonder how the Giants ever lose a game, when they can seemingly just throw a football anywhere within his gravity well and he’ll pull it in....
Eli Manning Throws A Pair Of Tip-Drill Interceptions In Rapid Succession
Man, this is some piss-poor luck from Eli Manning. Shane Vereen is one of the best pass-catching running backs in the NFL, so this first pick is pretty inexcusable. The second toss maybe should have been picked, but Will Blackmon redeemed himself and scooped it up anyhow....
Lopez Twins Say They Won't Live Together Because Their Cats Fight Too Much
Brook and Robin Lopez are notoriously tight. They hosted an NBA blooper reel show for Disney this summer, once skipped out on Stanford practice together to head to Disneyland, and they are apparently writing partners who are working on a pilot or two. So you’d think that they would want to live toge...
Who Knew Attempted Intentional Fouls Could Be So Funny?
The Knicks attempted to come back late in the fourth against the Heat by intentionally fouling Hassan Whiteside, a 51 percent career free throw shooter. But Whiteside went 4-6 on free throws in the quarter, and the Knicks lost by 17....
It's Been A Year Since Odell Beckham's Catch
It was one year ago today, a Sunday night game between the Giants and Cowboys, when Odell Beckham Jr. made his one-handed catch. I have absolutely nothing to add to this commemoration, other than gifting you the blessed memory of the totally fucking awesome thing that happened....
Jose Calderon Left Hanging By Ruthless Fan
I don’t know the full story behind this savage own, which appears to have happened before, but I do know that this man is perhaps the world’s greatest agent of chaos:...
Justin Meram Scores 10 Seconds Into MLS Playoff Game
Columbus got the scoring started rather early in today’s Eastern Conference final against the New York Red Bulls with this goal from Iraq national teamer Justin Meram a mere 10 seconds into the game. Kei Kamara and Ethan Finlay played it onto Meram, and he finished calmly....
King Kristaps Porzingis Keeps Getting Better
The Rockets are really struggling to get wins thus far, but they’re still a dangerous team. And yet, the New York Knicks beat them in Houston last night, thanks to a historic game from one Kristaps Porzingis. He became only the second player ever to record at least 24 points, 14 rebounds, 7 blocks, ...
Fire Extinguisher Becomes Weapon In Fight Between Robin Lopez And The Rockets Mascot
Robin Lopez does not like mascots. He has had an ongoing series of beeves with just about every mascot in the NBA, including our friend Clutch the bear here. You may recall the wonderfully cryptic interview he gave about his disdain for the Toronto Raptor, but he is by no means limited to anti-repti...
Noah Syndergaard Is Now A True New Yorker
Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard is enjoying his offseason and taking in all the experiences New York has to offer. Two weeks ago, he went to a Knicks game. Like a true New Yorker, Syndergaard captured the occasion by lying on the Madison Square Garden court while wearing the expression of a dog who ha...
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...
The Giants Just Can't Seal The Deal
Of the New York Giants’ five losses this season, three of the opponents’ game-winning scores have come with a combined eight seconds left. Last night’s 27-26 New England win, one of the best football games of the year, required Tom Brady to use all but one second of the 1:47 the Giants gave him, and...
NFL Admits It Fucked Up With Pajama Uniforms That Ruined Game For Colorblind Fans
The absurd “color rush” uniforms worn by the Jets and Bills last night were bad enough if you could see them. They were worse for the millions of viewers who couldn’t. The NFL says: oops....
Rex Ryan Was Fuckin' Pumped About Beating The Jets, And That's Just Fine
Rex Ryan just can’t help himself. He couldn’t help himself when he named the guy who broke Jets quarterback Geno Smith’s jaw one of the pregame captains, and he couldn’t help himself when he reacted like he’d just won the damn Super Bowl after beating the Jets, the team he coached for six years befo...
Stupid Nike Uniforms Wreaking Havoc On Colorblind NFL Fans
Nike introduced some stupid new uniforms for tonight’s Bills-Jets game, and the color-on-color combination is especially bad for people with colorblindness, who are taking to Twitter to let the NFL know their displeasure....
Oh Shit! Maybe Krapsnaps Bazingas Is A Beast?
When was the last time a Knicks lottery pick inspired as much excitement as Latvian giant Krapsnaps Bazingas, this past summer’s fourth overall pick? Can you recall? I can’t. Probably that is because the last truly excellent player the trash-ass Knicks took in the lottery was Patrick Ewing, 30 years...
Only Time Itself Can Stop Kristaps Porzingis
On the antepenultimate and penultimate possessions, it was the same old Knicks. With three-plus seconds left, Carmelo Anthony clonked a three off the side of the backboard. On the other end, in the Hornets’ second attempt at an inbounds play, Jeremy Lin went over a screen and both Knicks defenders f...
