The Blazers Are Going Through Some Growing Pains
The Portland Trail Blazers were the unquestioned surprise of the 2015-16 NBA season.

Good Luck Trying To Keep Karl-Anthony Towns From Embarrassing You
Timothé Luwawu-Cabarrot was projected to be an intriguing small forward in the NBA thanks to his smooth athleticism and impressive physical profile.

Houston Is Destroying Fifth-Ranked Louisville Thanks To Some Insane Plays
Louisville came into this evening’s game with Houston with a decent chance of making the playoff.

Instead, they are in the process of getting turned into jelly by th...
Zach LaVine Pulled Off The Rare Free-Throw Putback Dunk
Zach LaVine has always been an athletic freak capable of jamming it on people and pulling off a wide variety of spectacular dunks. This year, he’s improved his shooting and ballhandling and turned into a very good all-around player for the young Timberwolves. However, he’s also still liable to go of...
Stanford Band Doofuses Still Barred From Cal Rivalry Game
The Stanford marching band has been banned from road games since May 2015 for a “sexual hazing” scandal, but they’ve been allowed to attend bowl games. They made everyone mad at the Rose Bowl last year by being quirky and transgressive enough to make a completely out-of-left-field joke about how muc...
Devin Booker Saunters Out, Signs Autograph After Extremely Chill Ejection
The Suns were in the closing stages of a road loss to the Nuggets when young Suns shooting guard Devin Booker made an official mad and got himself tossed. Booker then nonchalantly strolled off the court, but not before saying his goodbyes. He then indulged a pair of fans. ...
The Washington Wizards Are In A Bad Place Right Now
The Wizards are playing like a big pile of dog poop this season, and they delivered their most nauseating performance of the year tonight against the Sixers.

Terrell Suggs Has An All-Time Great Fake Name
Rex “Walt Pulaski” Ryan snuck onto a Bills media call to try and massage some inside info from Julian Edelman earlier this NFL season, and his colleague Terrell “Hacksaw Smithers” Suggs followed suit this afternoon on a call with Dak Prescott.

Oregon's Devon Allen Leaves Team To Focus On Professional Track And Field Career
Devon Allen is a receiver for Oregon who was an integral part of the 2014 Marcus Mariota-led squad that finished second in the nation, but he’s perhaps most famous for his star turn at the Rio Olympics, where he finished fifth in the finals of the 110 meter hurdles. Allen has struggled through a pai...

Kate Upton On Cy Young Vote: I Thought I Was The Only One Allowed To Fuck Justin Verlander
Red Sox pitcher Rick Porcello won the American League Cy Young award this evening, beating out Tigers ace Justin Verlander despite finishing with six fewer first-place votes.

U.S. Soccer Still Needs Jurgen Klinsmann, But Maybe Not As Manager
We’ve been here before. Another disappointing USMNT loss, this time an especially egregious pants-shitting at Costa Rica, more tactical madness and puzzling formation choices, more hints of behind-the-scenes acrimony, and again, more calls for Jurgen Klinsmann’s job. None of that is new. What is dif...
How British Boxing Is Taking Over The World
Boxing in the United Kingdom is rapidly moving toward a golden age, its first since before the start of the 20th century.

Karl-Anthony Towns's Three-Point Stroke Is Dumb Fun
Karl-Anthony Towns, who turned 21 yesterday, has already established himself as one of the best players in the NBA.
