Timberwolves Owner: Kevin Love Will Likely Be Traded By End Of August
Since the beginning of the NBA offseason, we've been wondering if the Timberwolves will move Kevin Love, who has one year left on his contract and would prefer to spend his future somewhere that isn't Minnesota. Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor now says that although he'd like to keep Love, the power ...
John Lackey Is A Cardinal, And The Red Sox's Rebuild Is Going Great
The Red Sox are apparently on some sort of accelerated turn-of-the-century-Marlins plan, where they win, bottom out, and rebuild, but it only takes them a year to go from peak to trough and back again. After landing Yoenis Cespedes earlier today, Boston has traded starter John Lackey to St. Louis ...
Jon Lester Traded To Oakland For Yoenis Cespedes
The A's, with the best record in baseball, are unequivocally going for it, acquiring starter Jon Lester from the Red Sox. But man, this was more than a typical deadline rental: the trade is reportedly Lester and Jonny Gomes for Yoenis Cespedes....
Cleveland Newspaper Rejects Heat Fans' Ad Busting On LeBron
Dan Le Batard, as part of a stunt for his radio show, attempted to purchase a full-page ad in the Cleveland Plain Dealer. (A mockup, via @itsleooo, can be seen below.)

Stop Making Sense: The Lunkheaded Genius Of <em>Big Trouble In Little China</em>
In 1988's Die Hard—probably the most perfect and pure American action movie ever made—we met Bruce Willis's John McClane, a different kind of action hero. McClane wasn't an ultra-capable superman, but instead a resourceful, slippery, one-liner-slinging everyman, not to mention, sometimes, a smarmy a...

Jonathan Lucroy Saved The Brewers, Who Need Him To Keep It Up
Jonathan Lucroy was never supposed to be a star. He was a third-round draft pick; according to Baseball Reference, which keeps track of such things, he never made any of the major top 100 prospects lists; and entering his age-26 season, he had a career .260/.307/.366 batting line. ...
Nothing Up Woody Allen's Sleeve: <em>Magic In The Moonlight</em>, Reviewed
Magic in the Moonlight is the sort of Woody Allen movie that longtime fans have trouble defending, not because it's terrible or lazy—it's neither—but because it's so painfully familiar. Likeable and completely disposable, his new comedy has its chuckles, but as he gets closer to the 50-feature m...

Marshawn Lynch Apparently Ropes Off His Lamborghini When He Parks
If this Twitter user is to be believed, Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch uses velvet ropes to cordon off his Lamborghini Aventador Roadster when he parks. Are there always velvet ropes in his car, or does someone else bring them for him?...
Hanley Ramirez Had A Real Shit Day At The Office Yesterday
Based on the box score from yesterday's game agains the Cardinals, it looks like Dodgers shortstop Hanley Ramirez had himself a perfectly fine game. He got on base four times in five at-bats, didn't strike out, and scored a run for his team. Lost in those numbers, though, is the fact that Ramirez ...

Donald Cerrone And John Lineker Are What's Right With Fighting
I love body shots. There is a horrible, wonderful noise generated when a professional athlete hits another professional athlete in the torso, a thudding slap of skeleton and meat. It sounds like a Foley artist's garish exaggeration of what you think a body shot should sound like. I love this sound...
This Mugshot Isn't Dan Le Batard
This morning, a reader named Jason sent us a link to a missing persons hoax in north Myrtle Beach, with no context other than a subject line that read: "This mugshot looks like Dan Le Batard." Yeah, it does. He's really got Dan's beard. ...

Bryan Lee O'Malley's <em>Seconds</em>: Scott Pilgrim Grows Up (Maybe)
The problem, you would think, with creating the single greatest slacker-nerd fantasy of a generation is how you follow it up. "Get a little older, and draw the ever-loving shit out of it" isn't a bad answer. ...
