Blake Griffin Switches Hands Mid-Dunk
This is reminiscent of (but not nearly as pretty as) Michael Jordan switching hands in Game 2 of the 1991 Finals against the Lakers. It's not as fluid and obvious as Jordan, but that same hesitation is there and, anyway, Griffin's game has never been about pretty. It's about power and this is what...

Cole Hamels Has Finally Acquired The Multiracial Children Necessary To Recreate His Luxury Condo Ad

Sixers Fan Buys 18 Tickets To Tonight's Game For Less Than A Dollar
The Sixers are five games under .500 and hosting the Indiana Pacers isn't doing the Wells Fargo Center any favors, either. Things are so desperate in Philly that one fan was able to scoop up 18 tickets on stub-hub for $.04. He bought the entire row and told Ryan Petzar he did so because it "seemed l...
For The Fourth Straight Year, The Super Bowl Champs Played In The Eagles' Home Opener

I Think Bernie Parent Wants To Sex Us All
That tingling in your loins? Don't be alarmed. It's natural. Because even if their owners aren't aware, nether regions across North America have a way of knowing when they're about to be served up to a burly French Canadian.

LeSean McCoy Sics Twitter Army On His "Broke, Worthless" Babymama After She Accuses Him Of Being A Deadbeat Dad
Look, we have no idea if LeSean McCoy is a deadbeat dad. The mother of his child LeSean McCoy Jr. is alleging that to be the case—and a whole lot more.

Vince Young Is Just Another Bored College Student Again
Cam Newton's decision to re-enroll at Auburn has been a quiet storyline this week, but Newton's not the only national-title-winning QB again giving school the old college try.

Eagles And Browns Executives Are Feuding Like High School Girls Over Chip Kelly
On Monday, CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora did a hatchet job on Eagles GM Howie Roseman. He wrote that Roseman was "drunk with power" and "woefully out of his depth," and to add the sheen of authority, La Canfora cloaked it in "a growing perception around the league."...
NBC's NHL Promo Tries To Rewrite Last Season's Playoff Results
The Flyers beat the Penguins in the first round of the playoffs last year, yet it wasn't as simple as that. The teams combined for 56 goals, hundreds of penalty minutes, and multiple suspensions.

Chip Kelly Is The New Coach Of The Philadelphia Eagles
Um, what? Remember last week, when Chip Kelly decided he would be staying at Oregon rather than jumping to the NFL after having been wined and dined by both the Cleveland Browns and Philadelphia Eagles?

The Philadelphia Eagles Can't Buy A Coach
We've had our laughs about the various coaching firings and hirings in the NFL in the wake of the NFL's Black Monday: Getting rid of Lovie Smith made no sense, Rex Ryan went to the Bahamas and everyone thought maybe he'd been fired, Doug Marrone got hired on the strength of sort of turning around Sy...

Chip Kelly To The Browns Was A Sure Thing, Until Kelly Spent Nine Hours Eating Dinner With The Eagles [UPDATE]

Let's Revisit The Dumb Stuff Rick Reilly Wrote About David Akers Last Year
In December 2011, Rick Reilly wrote one of his trademark telethon-monologue columns about then-37-year-old kicker David Akers, who'd overcome all manner of personal hardship to kick a bunch of field goals for the 49ers. It was basically a nice story, but because Reilly lives in an oversimple, cardbo...
Andy Reid: Good Enough To Make You Hate Him For How Bad He Was
So of course when the clock at last ran out on Andy Reid in Philadelphia, nobody knew what the heck was going on. He was fired before the final game Sunday and coached anyway.
