Where Every NBA Team Takes (And Gives Up) Shots
Here's a chart by our friend Ed Kupfer, who does analytics for the Houston Rockets, showing the distribution by percent of every NBA team's offensive and defensive field goals.

Report: Miami Dolphin Got Special Treatment After Domestic Abuse Arrest
Back in 2010, police arrested then-Dolphins defensive end Phillip Merling and charged him with aggravated domestic battery on a pregnant woman after he allegedly hit then-fiancée Kristen Lennon in the head.

Michael Carter-Williams, Professed Non-Tanker, Tanks
The 76ers are a sorry excuse for a professional sports franchise. Last season they had the second worst record in the league.

Ty Detmer Says Koy Detmer Faked An Injury So Philly Could Put Him On IR
Remember Ty and Koy Detmer, the quarterback brothers? Ty bounced around as a backup, while Koy largely hung on with the Eagles, also mostly as a backup.

Mark Sanchez Kept The Machine Running Smoothly And Then Had Cheesesteaks
This is not a declaration about how Mark Sanchez has revitalized his career in one night, nor of confident belief that the Eagles' playoff hopes are intact. If there's anything to draw from last night's blowout of the Panthers, it's just that Chip Kelly's team still has a chance. That's good enoug...
Cam Newton Should Have Just Stayed Down
Watching a primetime blowout like the one the Panthers and Eagles gave us last night is never all that fun, but they are even less fun when they include an increasingly hobbled quarterback getting tortured on national TV....
Phil Jackson Gets Mad At Perfectly Legitimate Criticism
The New York Knicks aren't a very good basketball team, and at times this season they have clearly struggled to implement coach Derek Fisher's version of the triangle offense.

The Phillies Would Love To Trade Ryan Howard
GM Ruben Amaro took two major actions at Philadelphia's organizational meetings last week. One was to distribute to all baseball personnel a handbook titled "The Phillies Way."

Eagles Lineman Jason Peters Didn't Know Nick Foles Got Hurt
Eagles quarterback Nick Foles exited today's game in the first quarter with a collarbone injury after a tackle by Whitney Mercilus; former Jets hostage Mark Sanchez replaced him.

Wade Phillips Watched His Old Team From The Upper Deck Last Night
Wade Phillips coached the Dallas Cowboys for almost four seasons, and despite getting fired after leading the team to a 1-7 start in 2010, he left Dallas with a decent overall record of 34-22. That record apparently isn't enough to get Phillips a decent ticket to see his old team play, though, becau...
The 76ers Do Not Even Care Who Is On Their Team Anymore
The Philadelphia 76ers currently sport a roster that appears to be made up of guys who were spat into the world by NBA 2K15's player creator. According to the team's official site, the Sixers got a little more unreal today, as the team apparently signed 43-year-old power forward Bo Outlaw, who retir...
Photos: Jeremy Maclin Goes Bowling For Gatorade
Eagles receiver Jeremy Maclin had himself a day in a tough loss, hauling in 12 catches for 187 yards and two scores, and most importantly, completely destroying a sideline Gatorade station. It was pretty great. And Matt Eisenberg was in perfect position to get some fantastic photos....
