The Portland Trail Blazers Are The Feel Good Team Of The Season
The Portland Trail Blazers are forever confounding expectations. In 2013-14, they were supposed to build upon their 33 wins from the previous season, and if things broke right, challenge for the playoffs. Instead, Damian Lillard leapt to stardom and Robin Lopez was a revelation, and the Blazers won ...

Finland's Brilliant Baby Boxes Are Finally Coming To Countries That Need Them, Like Ours
Having a new baby sounds, to put it lightly, terrifying. I imagine this is especially true at first, when particularly helpless infants are sent home with necessarily inexperienced parents. Baby-wise friends and family members can help, but it’s still pretty dangerous to put a total neophyte—like yo...

The Cavaliers' Head Coach Might Have A Mutiny On His Hands
Cleveland Cavaliers head coach LeBron James was typically hands-on and vocal while leading his team to a loss to the Houston Rockets on Tuesday night. It’s tough to pin all responsibility for the loss on James, though, seeing as he was without his best player, forward LeBron James. More worrisome th...

Notre Dame Tip-In Ruins Everything
Our bodies were ready. Stephen F. Austin’s late five-point lead left the sportswriting world dreaming of four days full of “STONE COLD!” references and Attitude-Era GIFs celebrating the Lumberjacks becoming just the third 14-seed ever to make the Sweet Sixteen. Then Notre Dame’s Rex Pflueger, a scru...
Damian Lillard Has The Best Response To Kendrick Perkins Trying To Decapitate Him
While the crazy-as-hell first round of the NCAA Tournament was finishing up, there were a bunch of NBA games on last night. I know! I’m surprised too! In one of them, the Blazers played the sad sack Pelicans, and in the fourth quarter, Kendrick Perkins tried to pop Damian Lillard’s head off....

Heurelho Gomes Pours A Big Ol' Bucket Of Burnsauce On Arsenal
Watford goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes has plenty of reasons to feel proud of his team’s 2-1 underdog victory over Arsenal in the FA Cup this weekend. Add in his past stint as a Tottenham player, though, and you can understand why he saw fit to dump on them so forcefully after a game he didn’t even play ...
Radio Announcer Ejected From College Basketball Game For Vigorous Gesturing
On Monday the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay knocked off Valparaiso 99-92 in overtime to advance to the final of the Horizon League tournament. (They beat Wright State tonight, so they’ll be dancing.) Even more astonishing than Valparaiso’s full-court pass to send the game to overtime was the fac...
Players Resist Urge To Knock Out Referee After Getting Screwed Out Of A Goal
This is just unreal. Right after Accrington Stanley’s (yes, that’s actually the name of the team) striker Billy Kee had fired in what should’ve been the opening goal against AFC Wimbledon, the referee for some reason decided to blow the halftime whistle, nullifying the goal. The game ended 0-0....
Hmmmmmm. LeBron James And Kyrie Irving Sent Some Cryptic Tweets. Hmmmmmmm.
The Cleveland Cavaliers beat the Boston Celtics 120-103 on Saturday, and one would assume that such a victory would have put everyone in the locker room in a good mood. Maybe it did, but it also put LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in the mood to do some subtweeting....
"WE BE CHAMPIONSHIP": Draymond Green's Mother Pens Open Letter To Warriors Haters
The Warriors are probably going to win at least 70 games, and are currently on pace to eclipse Michael Jordan’s 1996 Bulls and win 73. They’re good and fun and they’re killing everyone, but even they’ve drawn some haters. Draymond Green’s mother wrote an open letter to those haters. Hey, Oscar Rober...

Knicks Deny That Kurt Rambis Was Horny Online
Everyone had a few chuckles at the expense of Kurt Rambis over the weekend, because the Knicks’ head coach is one of the many men who apparently aren’t aware that Twitter likes and follows are public. Here’s what Rambis recently liked (things are about to get NSFW):...
Just Get Out Of Damian Lillard's Way
Anthony Davis’s 59-point, 20-rebound destruction of the Pistons may have been the best single-game performance of the NBA season, but I say the weekend belonged to Damian Lillard....
