Kent Bazemore Laughs As He Sets Up Dwight Howard For An Alley-Oop
Although the Atlanta Hawks were losing in the second quarter today against the New York Knicks, Kent Bazemore still found a chance to be happy.

Boo Mike Pence Whenever Possible [Updates]
Tonight, Vice President-elect Mike Pence decided to take in a performance of Hamilton. But apparently, as soon as he walked in the theater, the only good Hamilton fans in the world started booing like crazy. This is the sound Mike Pence should hear every single time he leaves his house. ...

When Kristaps Porzingis Is Feeling Himself, Look The Fuck Out
If year one of the Kristaps Porzingis Experience was about promise, year two has been about swagger. The 7-foot-3 Latvian showed as a rookie that he belonged in the NBA, that he can fit in, that neither the pace of play nor the opposing talent were too much for him to handle. Early into his sophomor...

New York Islanders Decline To Say If Jack Capuano Lives In Garth Snow's Basement
The disappointing Islanders have lost six of their last seven and currently hold an underwhelming 5-8-3 record. Head coach Jack Capuano is on the hot seat, and depending on who you believe, the heat around his job status might be rising through the vents and warming up team president Garth Snow’s ho...

New Orleans Baby Cakes Mascot Fulfills Commitment To The Minor-League Snarl<em></em>
The AAA baseball team formerly known as the New Orleans Zephyrs will henceforth be known as the New Orleans Baby Cakes. This is undoubtedly a unique mascot, one that will surely draw internet ire the same way that fellow New Orleanian King Cake Baby (deservedly) did, but Baby Cakes is a good mascot....

Pete Carroll Was Not Impressed By Patriots Fans
The Seahawks’ Sunday night win at the Patriots was a pretty excellent game between two of the NFL’s best, but Seattle coach Pete Carroll is wondering why it felt like a preseason crowd....

Eli Manning Read The Bengals' Defense Like A Coloring Book
Eli Manning was slinging (for better or for worse), Odell Beckham was doing his thing, the defense looked like a throwback to the best Tom Coughlin years in the way it pressured Andy Dalton, and even the much-maligned running game picked up a huge first down to run out the clock, something the Giant...

Kristaps Porzingis's Swagger Is Undeniable
No piece of NBA ephemera has entertained me this season as much as Kristaps Porzingis showing off apparent tinges of a New York accent. ...

Report: Rob Gronkowski Finished Last Night's Game Despite Having A Punctured Lung
Rob Gronkowski, the NFL’s most talented Shot Ski, got one of his lungs punctured during his team’s loss to the Seahawks last night, yet somehow managed to finish the game, per Ian Rapoport. Gronkowski has a history of playing with injuries, but playing professional football through a punctured lung ...

The NFL Knows America Doesn't Want To Watch The Jets
We already savaged the Rams for their role in the NFL’s least enjoyable game since this Week 1 debacle, but no one deserves to come out of that with dignity intact. The Jets, led by Bryce Petty in his first NFL start, were just as complicit, punting eight times and gaining just 17 first downs. You d...

Carmelo Anthony Says The Referee Who Booted Him Has A Grudge
If you’re feeling a sense of cosmic upheaval, that everything around you is shifting, rest assured that the Knicks are still 3-6 on the season and that Carmelo Anthony is still marinating in quiet resentment. ...

Rob Gronkowski Said This Was The Hardest He's Ever Been Hit
In the second quarter of the Seahawks’ win over New England, TE Rob Gronkowski took a hell of a shot from safety Earl Thomas:...

One Step Back Helped Kam Chancellor Foil The Patriots' Last Play
There’s something pleasant about sports displaying symmetry; it’s a reassurance, however misleading, that we aren’t devoting so much of our lives to a random number generator. The ending of Seahawks-Patriots looked a lot like the ending of Super Bowl XLIX: It came down to a goal-line stand, the defe...

Broncos Beat Saints With Wild Defensive Two-Point Conversion
With just under two minutes left in the fourth quarter, the New Orleans Saints scored a crucial touchdown to tie the Denver Broncos at 23 points apiece....

A Crowd Marched Up Manhattan To Yell At A Big Ugly Building<em></em>
The protestors were mostly gone by the time I arrived at Union Square on Wednesday night. They had begun to march towards Trump Tower, stalling traffic as they held signs, phones, and contempt for the next president of the United States....

New York Basketball Is Perfect And Pristine
We’ve been blessed with a few sequences of perfect basketball already this season, and last night the Knicks and Nets served up a hot slice of authentic “Big Apple” hoops. This encapsulates everything you need to know about the state of basketball in this city, whose crown prince is Brandon Jennings...

Cam Newton Is Still Getting Destroyed, Still Not Getting Flags
Just days after announcing he was worried about his safety, Cam Newton took a pair of vicious hits that went unflagged. Sunday at the Rams, Newton was drilled twice with helmet-to-helmet hits. And according to ESPN’s Ed Werder, the league reviewed the plays and determined no rules were violated....

The Pelicans Are A Damn Disgrace
The New Orleans Pelicans are 0-8. In a vacuum, there’s nothing particularly alarming about a bad basketball team starting the season with eight consecutive losses, but the Pelicans have failed in a way that shouldn’t really be possible in today’s NBA....

Gisele To Tom Brady: Stick To Sports
Just as it was fair to ask Tom Brady about his support of “good friend” Donald Trump back in the primaries, it’s fair to ask him today, the morning after Trump won the presidential election and two days after Trump announced at a campaign rally he had Brady’s endorsement....
