Alex Len Momentarily Forgot He Was Playing Basketball While Trying To Secure A Rebound
It wasn’t until the fourth(!!) period of overtime between the Bulls and Hawks on Friday that one team started to separate itself from the other. I’m talking, of course, about the Hawks, who began to separate themselves as the worst of the two on the court with less than two minutes to go in what eve...

Ben Simmons Could Upend The NBA's Power Structure With One Decision
One type of Ben Simmons Instagram post has to make Philadelphia 76ers fans more nervous than others. Simmons hasn’t produced any of those posts yet in 2019—he doesn’t break up his usual stream of fashion-forward, athlete-brained aspirationalism all that often—but he did get one off on December 26. ...

At Least The Oscars Satisfied Mike Francesa
When the Oscars handed Best Picture to Green Book, the filmic equivalent of saying “I don’t see color,” it was widely seen a goof on the order of Crash winning the same in 2006.

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.

Football Knowers Trip Over Their Dicks To Talk About Good Guy Robert Kraft

Report: Wisconsin School District Under Fire Over Coach Handing Out Gross, Objectifying Awards To High School Cheerleaders
Professional cheerleaders being subjected to degrading and objectifying appraisals and overall treatment is, infuriatingly, pretty much par for the course. Frankly, it’s probably old hat at every level, but anyway this story out of Wisconsin is a useful reminder of just how much gross shit cheerlead...
Clemson QB Trevor Lawrence Gets Decidedly Unchill During Intramural Basketball Game
The effort-to-reward ratio for intramural sports is woefully off and will always be this way. There’s never anything more valuable than a free T-shirt on the line, and yet every game is filled with econ majors who take things far too seriously. In a recent intramural hoops game, one player managed t...
