The Phillies Knew Their Fans Wanted Bryce Harper Over Manny Machado

Brett Brown Doesn’t Need To Instruct Ben Simmons To Miss Free Throws
The Sixers played the Warriors tough on Saturday night.

Bryce Harper At His Phillies Press Conference: "We Want To Bring A Title Back To D.C."
The Phillies’ introductory press conference for the newly-acquired Bryce Harper went about how you’d expect.

These Were Bryce Harper's Other Offers
Bryce Harper is a Phillie, finally. It was a long, drawn-out process that turned fans insane and made reporters stupid. But the seeming interminability of it all ultimately served Harper’s purposes: It wasn’t until this last week that the Phillies offered record money or a 13-year contract. Harper a...

Nick Foles And His Dong Are Now Free To Go Elsewhere
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman made no attempt to yank anyone’s chain during his presser today at the NFL combine in Indianapolis: Nick Foles will not be given the franchise tag, which means Nick Foles and his reportedly gigantic hog will hit free agency. There was nothing soft about Foles’s s...
Boban Lives!
It looked real bad when huge basketball man Boban Marjanovic went down in a heap against the Pelicans Monday night. His leg twisted to an alarming angle, and he was unable to put any weight on it at all, and he seemed to be in a ton of pain. And when huge fellows like Boban crab-meat their lower leg...

Sweet Towering Prince Boban Marjanovic Injured In Nasty Fall
Late in the fourth quarter of Monday night’s narrow road win over the Pelicans, huge galoot Boban Marjanovic got tangled up with Pelicans not-nearly-as-big man Cheick Diallo going for a loose ball.

Ben Simmons To Jusuf Nurkic: "You Talk A Lot Of Shit For Being Ass"<em></em>
Down 14 points at home to a team that on paper is supposed to be less talented than your team can be a bit frustrating, just ask Ben Simmons. The Sixers forward was sent to the line after Maurice Harkless fouled him. When Simmons missed his first attempt, Trail Blazers big man Jusuf Nurkic decided t...
Jimmy Butler Talking To Mark Wahlberg Is Like Tipping A Nacho Cheese Fountain Into A Fondue Pot
Jimmy Butler simply doesn’t give a d*mn. He is the kind of guy who will deliver twisted and edgy quotes like, “Damn right I’m confrontational. I am confrontational ... I would be the first to tell you, I don’t give a damn. I’ve always been like that,” and leave you mopping your brow. Butler can now ...
