Manchester City's Messiah Sergio Agüero Pulls Another Resurrection Act
Twenty minutes into Manchester City's crucial home Champions League match against Bayern Munich on Tuesday, it looked like everything had broken right for the English champions. Earlier in the day, in the other matchup in City's group, Roma somehow contrived to draw a game they really should've won,...

Kenneth Faried's Dunk Revealed The Demon Living Inside Nate Robinson
Kenneth Faried threw down a dunk during last night's game between the Nuggets and Bulls. It was a fine dunk, but backup point guard Nate Robinson thought it was a really great dunk, so much so that he briefly lost his wits while celebrating and revealed the dark spirit that is twisted around his ete...

The Warriors' Best Lineups Are Killing The Rest Of The League
By pretty much every metric, the Warriors are one of the best teams in the league. They're 11-2, a half-game out of the best record in the league, lead the league in opponent-adjusted net offensive/defensive rating, and are in lockstep with the Spurs for best defensive rating. They're really good. B...

Devon Still's Ex Says He Hasn't Paid Child Support In Months
Bengals defensive end Devon Still's relationship with his cancer-stricken four-year-old daughter, Leah, has seemed to be perhaps the only true feel-good story in the NFL this year. Maybe not so much anymore, though, as Leah's mother, Channing Smythe, is claiming that Still has recently refused to pa...

Say Goodbye To RGIII In Washington
We have, unless and until Colt McCoy gets hurt, almost certainly seen the last of Robert Griffin III in burgundy and gold. Now benched for two different backups to end two consecutive seasons, there is nothing left in D.C. for the former second-overall pick. Not if Jay Gruden remains coach, and give...

Report: RGIII Benched, Colt McCoy To Start Against Indianapolis
Earlier today it seemed Jay Gruden really wanted to bench Robert Griffin III, and according to a report from Adam Schefter (and confirmed by Mike Jones), he's finally done it. Schefter, citing a team source, says that Colt McCoy will be Washington's starting quarterback when they take on Indianapoli...

Steph Curry Goes Bananas, Drops 40 Points On The Heat
Steph Curry against-the-world games are the most fun you can have watching basketball. Whether it is 54 points against the Knicks in Madison Square Garden, whomping the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs, or some random January game, nothing is better than watching Curry fire on all cylinders. His arr...

Players' Tribune Boss Says Tiger Woods Isn't Being Defensive, <em>You</em> Are
Last week, we and many other people made fun of Tiger Woods for revealing himself to be a hollow replicant by "writing" what he imagined to be a scathing takedown of Dan Jenkins's satirical and clearly fake interview with Woods. Now, the editorial director of The Players' Tribune, Gary Hoenig, is ou...

Man, Jay Gruden Really Wants To Bench RGIII
Last week, Washington coach Jay Gruden apparently won the power struggle with his quarterback for Dan Snyder's favor. On Sunday, Griffin kept the Skins in the game; he didn't do anything particularly well, but he didn't do anything egregious enough to warrant being benched for Colt McCoy. He'd bette...

The Bills Will Play At Home On Sunday
Despite having more success in Detroit than they've had in Orchard Park in years (though playing the Jets had a little something to do with that), the Bills will return home to a playable Ralph Wilson Stadium for next weekend's game....

J.J. Watt Is Still A Total Anomaly
There was a disturbance in the force over the weekend, when J.J. Watt spent much of the day lined up against backup lineman Marshall Newhouse in the Texans' 22-13 loss to the Bengals and didn't come away with any sacks. That's a little surprising, but only because J.J. Watt is understood to be unrea...

David Moyes Doesn't Know Who His New Players Are
I'd cut David Moyes—who's just moved to a foreign country with a foreign language for a new job in a new league—some slack here, as "Stefano" isn't too far off from "Esteban," but then I think, What if Steve Kerr showed up to practice calling his point guard "Steven" Curry?...

Matt Kalil Is Sorry About Totally Owning That Heckler
Vikings tackle Matt Kalil, who played poorly on Sunday and then just owned a heckler so damn hard after the game, wants everyone to know that he is sorry about all the ownage....

James Harden Isn't Godawful At Defense, But The GIFs Are Still Funny
The GIF above showcases objectively fucking awful defense by James Harden against the Knicks last night. He makes absolutely no effort to prevent Shane Larkin from dribbling by him, he doesn't try and steal the ball, he doesn't foul Shane Larkin to stop the play, he doesn't drop back and try to tu...

Television reporters who braved live coverage last night from Ferguson faced attacks from police (with tear gas) and protestors (with rocks and other objects). Here are some examples we witnessed last night....

<em>MNF</em> Praises Owner Who Tried To Abandon New Orleans
