Oklahoma State Fan Charged With Beating 9-Year-Old Son Because The Kid Roots For Oklahoma
That's the story out of Perkins, Okla., which is about 15 minutes south of Stillwater, where Oklahoma State is located. Cops there have arrested 42-year-old Gannon Mendez and charged him with one count of child abuse. KFOR has the details:...
Brian Bosworth Had A Real Nice Time At The xx Concert
You probably remember Brian Bosworth as the crazy linebacker with weird hair who was good in college but sucked in the NFL and once got trucked by Bo Jackson. Regardless of what you know about The Boz, though, you probably wouldn't expect him to be the kind of guy who sends tweets like this from Th...
Russell Westbrook Had A Strange Meltdown On The Bench Last Night
The Oklahoma City Thunder blew out the Memphis Grizzlies last night, but an easy victory didn't stop Russell Westbrook from going a little crazy in the third quarter. After being called for a five-second violation, Westbrook returned to the bench and threw a tantrum. Luckily, assistant coach Mo Ch...
Russell Westbrook's Wardrobe Is Officially Out Of Control
Oklahoma City dispatched the Grizzlies last night, though not without a bit of intra-team turmoil. Reporters were sure to ask Thunder guard Russell Westbrook about the conflict, but we couldn't really focus on his words because of this thing he's wearing. Seriously, where does one even find such a ...
Adorable Kid Rushes The Court In The Middle Of A Game
This moment, from last night's Oklahoma-Baylor game, isn't quite as adorable as two dogs invading a soccer pitch, but it's still pretty goddamn cute. With about nine minutes left in the second half, one pint-sized Baylor fan decided that it would be a good idea to rush the court. We're not sure wh...
Caron Butler's Block Takes Out Unsuspecting Ref
With first place in the West on the line, the Staples Center was as raucous as its been for a non-Lakers game in many, many, many years. (Many.) Caron Butler did his part, nearly forcing a turnover from Kevin Durant in the corner, and then sneaking in behind Serge Ibaka to land this swat block. It...
Watch Expert Troll Russell Westbrook Goaltend A Mascot's Backward, Half-Court Shot
At some point during every Nuggets home game, team mascot Rocky attempts to make a backward, half-court shot. The crowd gets into it, the scoreboard operator puts Rocky's half-court shooting percentage on the jumbotron for all to see, and Rocky hams it up on the rare occasion that he sinks one. It...
Growing Up, Kevin Durant Wanted To Play For The Raptors
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: He liked Vince Carter, but he also liked the jerseys....
Kevin Durant Dunks All Over Marcin Gortat Because Kevin Durant Is A Cheat Code
It's really not fair that Kevin Durant can do stuff like this. His uncanny combination of size and shooting touch would be enough to carry him to a Hall of Fame career on its own. But Durant also has to possess the kind of sublime speed, strength, and leaping ability that make face-melting plays l...
Mike Stoops Hopping Around Like An Idiot Was Oklahoma's Only Defensive Highlight In Last Night's Cotton Bowl
Heisman hero Johnny Manziel lit up the Oklahoma defense last night en route to a 41-13 thrashing of Oklahoma in the Cotton Bowl last night, accumulating 516 total yards—229 of them on the ground....
Thunder Fan Gets All Skeeved Out After Touching Kris Humphries
In case you didn't know, sweaty athletes are really sweaty, so we don't recommend reaching out to touch them as they walk by. Right around the 10-second mark of the video above, keep your eye on the woman in the blue shirt. Much like Kim Kardashian, she seems eager to get a piece of Kris Humphries...
Kendrick Perkins Is Angrily Demanding That You Buy A Cubic Zirconia-Encrusted Thunder Pendant, So Get On That
Kendrick Perkins took some time out of his busy basketball schedule to star in a Tim and Eric sketch advertisement for a local jewelry store in Oklahoma City, Mitchener Farrand Jewelers—"the diamond guys on May" and your "official" NBA jewelry store in Oklahoma City....
Here Is A Gif Of Wade Boggs Attempting To Dance At Last Night's Oklahoma City Thunder Game
We're not sure why Wade Boggs decided to drop by last night's Spurs-Thunder game, but we're glad he did. In the fourth quarter, just before a Russell Westbrook free throw, the Fox Sports Oklahoma cameras found the baseball Hall of Famer in the stands—after which he boogied a bit in his seat....
Kendrick Perkins's Follow-Through Is Just The Best
This Youtube video is titled "Kendrick Perkins YOLO follow through," and I honestly can't think of a better description. Perk doesn't take a lot of jumpers (he made two in last night's win over San Antonio, fulfilling Mayan prophecy), so when he found himself in space for his second, he wasn't abo...
The Wizards Could Have Had James Harden, But The Wizards Are Not Allowed To Have Nice Things
Fresh off finishing 20-46 last year, the Wizards decided to take a somewhat unconventional route to respectability: Rather than completely (that is to say, intentionally) tanking, clearing the roster of onerous contracts, and rebuilding through the draft, they opted to take a "win now" approach, by ...
A Skeptic's Guide To The 2012 Heisman Trophy
Remember the lullaby afternoons of September, when we all figured we'd see a Heisman winner who merited the award? Maybe a Geno Smith, slinging the ball all over the yard, or even a Matt Barkley, who despite being named after Big Bird's dog had the right pedigree and weaponry (Robert Woods and Marqu...
Kevin Durant Almost Exploded The Universe On This Missed Dunk
For my money, a thunderous, rim-rattling, shockwave-inducing dunk is best when it comes on the road. At home, the crowd will erupt, but they'll erupt for anything: a layup, cheerleaders, a taco cannon, whatever, they're already primed to react. But if you can get a reaction in a visiting arena, wh...
Beer Of The Week: Coney Island Human Blockhead
First time I ever stepped onto Coney Island was to cover the Nathan's Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest, which is a lot of capital letters to ascribe to an event in which men and women choke down mountains of tube steaks on national television, yes, but indeed an event you should attend to if you consid...
The Bobcats Were So, So Awful Last Night
While Raymond Felton was ruining the end of an otherwise good Nets-Knicks game for a national audience, the Charlotte Bobcats were quietly having a statement game of their own—plunging deep into the depths of basketball shittiness during a 114-69 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Going into the ga...
Zach Randolph Talks About His Almost-Fight With Kendrick Perkins, Sounds Like A Crazy Person
Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: Z-Bo calls himself "a jacking dude."...
