This Knicks-Lakers Game Is A War Crime

Jets Trade For Brandon Marshall
The Bears have agreed to send WR Brandon Marshall to the Jets, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The haul hasn't been reported yet (Update: a fifth rounder), but it shouldn't be huge: Chicago was desperate to move Marshall before his $7.5 million guarantee kicked in next week....

Jason Smith's Dancing Is The Only Redeeming Thing About The Knicks

Anthony Mason Was From The Future
We'll mostly remember Anthony Mason for toughness, the way that we remember the Riley-era Knicks teams on which he made his reputation. Which, fine.

This Is The Worst Shot I've Ever Seen
