Here Is My Super Cool Plan To Save <i>Kevin Can Wait</i>
According to a report from Jezebel (Gizmodo Media Group’s shark blog), hit CBS sitcom Kevin Can Wait has been canceled after two seasons and 48 laugh-packed episodes. This national travesty happened at some point in the last two weeks, but the loyal fan community of “Waiters” is already clamoring fo...
Boston Finally Renamed The Street Honoring The Red Sox's Racist Former Owner
The two-block-long street just outside of Fenway Park will henceforth be known as Jersey Street after the Boston Public Improvement Commission voted unanimously to approve a proposal by Red Sox ownership to change the street’s name from Yawkey Way. Red Sox owner John Henry announced his plan to chan...
All The Wizards Did Was Heat Up
So the Washington Wizards will not be swept by the Toronto Raptors. Friday night the Wizards got hot from the floor, survived several instances of their players being crabby, runaway buttheads, and grabbed Game 3 on their home court. Marcin Gortat shaved his mohawk; John Wall cooled it with the turn...
The Wizards Are Winning And Making John Wall Mad
Before dropping a game to the 76ers last night, the Washington Wizards were on a 5-0 run without star point guard John Wall in the lineup. Now let’s watch as the Wizards manage to turn winning a bunch of games in a row into a bad thing....
Kobe Bryant And Dion Waiters Had Great Reactions To The Eagles Winning The Super Bowl
What makes these videos of native Philadelphians Kobe Bryant and Dion Waiters going nuts the moment the Eagles officially defeated the Patriots to win their first Super Bowl is how relatable they are. Trust me....
John Wall Broken, Wizards Dead, Universe Empty
Washington Wizards guard John Wall will miss six to eight weeks for a “procedure to clean up” his sore left knee, the one that has now been interfering with his career on a dismally regular basis since at least as far back as 2012. In related news [long anguished scream, tapering away to silence]....
The NBA Is Cranky As Hell
We’re smack dab in the middle of post-holidays winter, when all there is to do is be pissed off about the fact that there’s nothing to look forward to in the immediate future other than some dark, cold days. This wears on everybody, but it seems to be wearing on NBA players in particular....
Hey, Look, It's Stan Wawrinka And Novak Djokovic
Tennis missed its lost injured boys. I missed seeing a dude look like he a sipped through a six-pack, dozed off on the couch, toppled out of it, peed golden-brown, shuffled off to his match and immediately began lashing 100 mph backhand winners. There are a lot of professional tennis players, but th...
Here's What The Houston Texans Did Instead Of Signing Colin Kaepernick
On Oct. 29, the Houston Texans lost to the Seattle Seahawks, 41-38, a hard-fought game in which rookie QB Deshaun Watson put on an entertaining, four-touchdown, 403-yard performance. Houston was 3-4 but still sat at the edge of the playoff hunt in a weak conference, and Watson had led the offense t...
We Asked Bostonians What They Know About Hurling
I went to Boston for a hurling tournament with plans to poke fun at the city’s heavy-handed claim to Irish heritage. Real Irishmen—tall ones, who are good at sports—would show up at the municipal manifestation of a St. Patrick’s Day parade and surely put to shame some drunken Massholes. ...
Oh Great, Now John Wall's Knee Is An Issue, This Is Just Fucking Great
The top of the NBA’s Eastern Conference is a little deeper than most observers expected it to be before the season. The Celtics are kicking everyone’s ass. The Pistons are good. The Cavs are becoming good. The Raptors are their usual good selves. Teams like the Pacers and 76ers and Heat and Bucks an...
John Wall Has The Nutmegging Of The Night
There are 11 games on tonight’s NBA schedule, several of which have yet to begin and none of which is yet even into the second half, but I still feel quite confident proclaiming this John Wall masterpiece in transition as the nutmegging of the night, because goddamn this is good:...

Report: Dion Waiters's "Dirty Play" Will Cost Rudy Gobert A Month
Rudy Gobert wasn’t real thrilled about Dion Waiters crashing into his knees Friday night, calling it a “dirty play” and implying that the move was intentional. Well, if it was intentional, it seems to have hit its mark:...
Rudy Gobert Says Dion Waiters Deliberately Targeted His Knees
Heat guard Dion Waiters made kind of a dumb and reckless play going for a loose ball Friday night against the Utah Jazz. His effort sent him crashing into the infinitely long legs of Jazz center Rudy Gobert, the right one of which bent inwards at a terrifying angle:...
Report: Texans Fear Deshaun Watson Tore His ACL
More bad NFL injury news came today, this time in Houston. According to Ian Rapoport, rookie QB Deshaun Watson may have suffered a torn ACL on a non-contact injury in practice this afternoon....
Please Do Not Punch John Wall's Brain Stem Again, Kelly Oubre
The fight last night between Draymond Green and Bradley Beal was mostly two guys hugging each other very hard, first in a standing position, and later while laying on the ground. But that doesn’t mean there were no punches landed! No, indeed, here is a very strong overhand left from young Kelly Oubr...
Now Lonzo Ball Has John Wall To Deal With
We’ve already seen the impact of LaVar Ball’s tryhard dad-bluster in the way his son was treated on the court by Patrick Beverley, but it seemed unfair to draw too big an inference from that. That’s because Patrick Beverley is, if you want to be nice about it, a particularly feisty brand of point gu...
