At eight years old, Jack is no spring chicken. But he recently injured his leg jumping to the couch, and is going for a second opinion to see if surgery will be required.

JaVale McGee Does Goofy Thing, Lazy Thing, Awesome Thing All In One Sequence
I mean, this is the definitively JaVale McGee video, isn't it? The good, the bad and the ugly, all in the span of about ten seconds.

Dwight Howard To Be Named Owner, President, CEO, Star Player Of The Orlando Howards
The Magic's strategy for keeping Dwight Howard is to try and land a star player before the trade deadline, in the hopes that Happy Dwight would want to stay in Orlando. It's risky, but it's probably their best and only hope. So that's fine....
In The Name Of Competitive Balance, The NFL Plays The Bully And The Tyrant
The NFL is a dictatorship masquerading as a benevolent dictatorship.

Opposing Team Pays Terrell Owens To Play Road Game, Promptly Knocks Him Over The Wall
Terrell Owens's contract with the Allen Wranglers stipulates he only has to play home games, but he's let it be known he can be enticed to hop on the metaphorical bus with the rest of his team if the opposition agrees to pay him separately. It appears that's what happened today, as T.O. took to th...

The Prospect Of A Kentucky-North Carolina Championship Game Blew Several Of Dick Vitale's Fuses
Dickie V's one of ESPN's most polarizing personalities, with people falling either on the side of adoration of his positivity or dismissal of his antics.

Tiger Woods dropped out of today's final round at the Cadillac Championship, citing leg trouble before he drove away.

ACC Referee Told N.C. State Head Coach Mark Gottfried To Shut His "Fucking Ass Up" Yesterday
Yesterday's ACC final between N.C. State and North Carolina was just a typical game for N.C. State in the ACC—oozing with controversy. N.C. State, you will recall, is the alma mater to Tom Gugliotta. Googs, of course, was unceremoniously kicked out of a game by ACC official Karl Hess little more th...
Digger Phelps Does Not Like To Be Touched
ESPN's resident college basketball crank Digger Phelps has let some bad blood boil with fellow analyst Fran Fraschilla today—especially regarding how the North Carolina-NC State game ended—but Phelps's disdain for Fraschilla is no more apparent than in this clip, when Digger really, really does n...
Last Night's Arena Football Season-Opener Was A Farce
Arena Football's 25th season kicked off last night, but it would be a stretch to call what was played in Orlando "football."

"It Ain't Midnight Yet, Y'all!": The Vocal Cord-Shredding Announcer Is Delightfully Pleasant Via Email
The man behind that voice is Brian Snow and he is just about the nicest person with whom you will ever exchange emails.
