What's Going On With Chip Kelly And The Eagles? [Update]
It's been a fairly quiet season for the Eagles, but with this week's firing of vice president of player personnel Tom Gamble, and rumors of tension between head coach Chip Kelly and GM Howie Roseman, something very big is going to happen soon. Maybe. If you believe Twitter....
Michael Del Zotto Gets Cut By Skate, Looks Like Frankenstein
Hockey games feature—among other things—sharp blades and exposed necks, and every so often they collide.

K.J. McDaniels's Mom Is The Best Sports Mom
The 76ers beat the Magic in Orlando last night, a fact that was of very little concern to Sixers shooting guard K.J. McDaniels's mom, who was in attendance and continued to demonstrate that she couldn't give less of a shit about the Sixers, and just wants to see her son ball....
DeSean Jackson Delivers A Swift Kick To The Eagles' Playoff Hopes
DeSean Jackson had a fun Saturday. The former Philadelphia Eagle got revenge on the team that cut him as he racked up 126 receiving yards on four catches, including two receptions of over 50 yards.

NBA Shit List: The Philadelphia 76ers, Who Are Capitalism's Diarrhea

76ers Get First Win, Are Still A Cynical And Indescribably Awful Fraud

The Time Manute Bol Hit Six Three-Pointers In A Half
Reader Max sent along this video because he'd never seen it before, never even heard of one of the weirdest NBA happenings of all time, and he thought more people should see it. I support that sentiment entirely: everyone should watch highlights of the night 22 years ago when 7-foot-7 Manute Bol dec...

Let's Laugh At The Sixers Playing Completely Hapless Defense
I've been watching this on loop for a good 10 minutes, and I just now noticed that while Damian Lillard is just hanging out, probably trying to figure out if he's somehow gained the ability to freeze time, Wes Matthews is also wide fucking open in the corner. Lillard could have said, "No, this w...
