Don't Burn Your Mouth On This Piping Hot Hockey Beef
Edmonton Oilers center Connor McDavid missed a couple of months last season when he slid into the boards with Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Brandon Manning in a Nov. 3, 2015 game, and broke his clavicle. At the time, McDavid didn’t blame Manning for the injury, but in last night’s game, the Oilers ...
Carmelo Anthony Sure Seems Tired Of Phil Jackson's Shit
Phil Jackson, a guy who would look a lot dumber without his glasses, continues to emit ill-advised takes that make good NBA players angry. For his most recent target he chose his own star forward, Carmelo Anthony. Now feels like an odd time to seed resentment among Jackson’s Knicks, who, last night’...

Sixers-Kings Game Cancelled After Philadelphia Stadium Sweats All Over Everything
The Sixers were supposed to tip off against the Kings at 7:07 tonight, but instead of some incompetent basketball, fans in Philly were treated to a bunch of dudes mopping a floor for 20 minutes.

Get A Load Of This Ascot-Wearing, Wine-Toting Anti-Trump Philadelphia Vandal
Last week, two men spray painted “FUCK TRUMP!” on the wall of a Philadelphia Fresh Market. (That’s like a cut-rate Whole Foods.) They were a bit haphazard with their vandalism and got caught on security cameras by the grocery store. This is not a particularly notable case on its merits, and would be...

LeBron James Has No Patience For Phil Jackson
You may have heard that Phil Jackson referred to LeBron James’s inner circle as a “posse” yesterday, and that one member of said inner circle, LeBron’s childhood friend and business partner Maverick Carter, took offense to that by claiming that Jackson’s use of “posse” was racially coded.

Philip Rivers Throws Away Chargers Game With A Last-Minute Pick-Six
San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers did a less-than-stellar job of keeping the ball away from the Miami Dolphins Sunday. A total of three interceptions through the first three-and-a-half-plus quarters... and then one more with hardly one minute left in the fourth quarter of a tied ballgame....
Chalk One Up For The Process
For the past few years, winning has not been an autumn endeavor for the Philadelphia 76ers. The fall is strictly for setting expectations low, and the precious few wins come scattered throughout the winter and spring. But not anymore, folks.

As anyone familiar with the English Premier League or Brazil’s national team knows that Phillipe Coutinho is wont to try and bang in a long range golazo if you give him so much as an inch of space.
