Oh Boy, The Warriors Sure Kicked The Crap Out Of These Sad Randos In Spurs Uniforms<em></em>
The Warriors won Game 2 tonight, 136-100. If you didn’t watch it, don’t worry, you didn’t miss anything. The Warriors smelled blood in the water and ended the game almost right after it started. The Kawhi-less Spurs lost every single quarter and someone named Bryn Forbes played 23 minutes. The Spurs...
Mike Brown Almost Got Arrested Trying To Follow The Spurs Motorcade Before Game 2
Before the Warriors began their unholy beatdown of the San Antonio Spurs, acting Warriors coach Mike Brown relayed the story of how he almost got arrested following the Spurs bus into the Warriors arena. It’s very good, and involves Brown actively messing with the cops (who didn’t care that he was t...
The Wizards' Bench Won Somebody A Spot In The Eastern Conference Finals
I guess if you want to pin the outcome of last night’s Game 7 on somebody—somebody other than repulsive unconscious three-bombing Canuck gorilla Kelly Olynyk—you can pin it on Scott Brooks and Ernie Grunfeld....

The Top-Ranked Softball Team In The Country Is Somehow Unseeded In The NCAA Tournament
When the University of Minnesota’s softball team gathered for dinner to watch the NCAA tournament selection show, spirits were high. The Big Ten champs went a school-record 54-3 this season, and were ranked second in the last coaches poll and 11th in the RPI....
Wizards Fan Decks Celtics Fan
There’s not a lot to see in this short clip of a Wizards fan and Celtics fan getting into it at last night’s Game 7, just one quick punch to the nose and some half-hearted shoving....
Phil Kessel Yelled A Lot And Scored
Phil Kessel is relatable, which is a nice way of saying that he’s large and goofy. But as with all world-class athletes, we must resist the urge to see too much of our pathetic selves in him. Kessel is, obviously, one of the most talented offensive players in hockey—he’s quietly having a hell of a p...
The Wizards Are Dead And Kelly Olynyk Killed Them
Thanks to a big night from oafish backup center guy Kelly Olynyk, the Boston Celtics took Game 7 from the Washington Wizards tonight, 115-105, and won the honor of trying to stop LeBron James and the Cavs. They will probably not fare that well, but whatever, this is their night....

Here is some bullshit:...
Gregg Popovich Is Steamed About Zaza Pachulia
Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard left Sunday’s game after injuring his ankle on a play in which Golden State’s Zaza Pachulia took him out, or Leonard landed awkwardly. (It depends on whose opinions you trust.) With a major threat out of their way, the Warriors rallied for a 113-111 win. San Antonio head ...
Meet The Voice Of <i>SportsCenter</i>
ESPN’s SportsCenter has changed immensely over the last 18 years—sets, anchors, topics—but there has been one constant. It is hard to imagine an episode of SportsCenter without that deep, gravelly voice. “Coming up next...on SportsCenter.” You’re probably doing an impression in your head right now....
Dejounte Murray Explains His Bad Tattoo
Because of an injury to Tony Parker, rookie Dejounte Murray has earned more minutes as the Spurs have advanced. This might be why everyone’s now noticed that Murray has an arm tattoo which looks like the evil twin of the honey bun that looks like E.T., or a facial composite of one of those Madballs...
Rome's Collapse Turned Petty Kings, Strongmen, And Warlords Into The French
Decades before Romulus Augustulus was deposed in 476 AD and the Western Roman Empire officially went out of business, the provinces of northern Gaul (roughly the area between Paris and the lower Rhine in what’s now the Netherlands and northwest Germany) had long since slipped from the grasp of the a...
Tiny Soccer Birthday Boy Is The Sports Highlight Of The Day
The accuracy of this tyke’s shot is obviously impressive as hell, but what I am here for is the taunting of the candle. This child is going to have a long and polarizing career, at least unless the candle comes back at him studs-up....

Over the weekend, Nils Lofgren posted a snippet of “Wizards Fever,” a rough remake of his classic “Bullets Fever,” the greatest sports theme song our nation’s capital has ever known....
Ryan Kesler Is Making Ryan Johansen So Mad
The Western Conference Finals were always going to be decided up top. Nashville, without a ton of scoring from its depth forwards, relies heavily on its top line centered by Ryan Johansen, and they’ve been ultra-hot in these playoffs. Anaheim’s shutdown line, anchored by Ryan Kesler, can certainly f...

The Spurs Went Up By 25, And Then The Warriors Knocked Them Down
For the first half of Sunday’s Game 1, the Spurs shut down the Warriors more effectively than anyone has this year. Golden State didn’t manage more field goals than turnovers until nearly halfway through the second quarter. They didn’t make a single three-pointer until shortly after that. They were ...
