Anthony Davis Did Some Awesome Stuff Last Night
There are so many ways Anthony Davis can humiliate a man. Usually, he does it by extending those stupid-long arms across every inch of airspace over the basketball court, sending away any shot his opponents are foolish enough to send in his direction. But Anthony Davis can also make people look stu...
Martin Brodeur Blames The Ice For His Being Old And Bad
Martin Brodeur called the makeshift rink at Yankee Stadium "the worst ice I ever played hockey on," and given a 21-year career, that's saying something.

Thomas Vanek Claims League Bias On Game-Winning Goal Reversal
The Islanders and Blues were tied 3-3 in overtime when Thomas Vanek scored what appeared to be the game-winner. It looked like it hit his skate but the red lamp lit, the referee pointed at the net and Blues goalie Jaroslav Halak skated off the ice without incident. Replay eventually reversed the ca...
Here's Every Shot Carmelo Anthony Made In His 62-Point Night
Carmelo Anthony had the highest scoring game ever at Madison Square Garden last night and surpassed Bernard King's 60 for the franchise record of points scored in a game.

The Joys Of Being A Sportswriter: Pass The Mustard
Six years ago, I had dinner with the late Vic Ziegel at Liebmann's Deli in the Bronx. We'd been introduced through a mutual friend and I wanted to chat with him about his career and the history of sports writing. He was funny in a skeptical, weathered, manner you'd expect from a career newspaperman....
Before Pierre The Pelican, There Was Terrifying King Cake Baby
Earlier this week, the Pelicans announced that they'd be redesigning the head of Pierre to make him "less scary". This is disappointing, not only because pelicans should look scary, but also because it spits in the face of New Orleans's proud tradition of nightmarish mascots....
Andrea Bargnani Is Out Indefinitely; We Made Him A Tribute Video
Sad news, everyone. Andrea Bargnani, the Knicks player who brought us the most entertainment this year, has a torn ligament in his left arm that will keep him off the court indefinitely. Bargs hurt himself doing what Bargs does best: playing basketball like a dummy....
J.R. Smith Plays Air Guitar While Enjoying A Very Chill Tune
At some point during last night's 76ers-Knicks game, J.R. Smith helped a young girl get through her cover of a popular Lumineers song. This is incontrovertible proof that despite the fact that the Lumineers make vapid, insufferably folksy music that appeals to the lowest common denominator of human...

Here Comes The Federer-Nadal To Possibly End All Federer-Nadals
Maybe every Federer-Nadal is a Federer-Nadal for the ages, and when we look back we'll marvel at our luck that these two comets coincided for a decade. But let's say with a bit of boldness that the upcoming Federer-Nadal — in a date punched when they respectively dispatched Andy Murray and Grigor Di...
