J.R. Smith And Brandon Jennings Are In A Twitter Fight
The fact that J.R. Smith's little brother occupies a spot on the Knicks' roster is and always will be a sad joke. This truth is not lost on Pistons point guard Brandon Jennings, who last night sent a since-deleted tweet expressing incredulity at the existence of Chris Smith's NBA career....

Mexico Are Definitely Going To The World Cup. Right?
