Sedona Prince stays put at Oregon
Sedona Prince, the Oregon forward who last year used the power of social media to highlight the inadequacy of the NCAA’s setup for the women’s basketball tournament, announced on Saturday that she’s going to stay at Oregon next season and begin a masters program....
These are the best Super Bowl halftime shows of all time
It’s hard to know whether the ads or the halftime show has become the bigger attraction of the Super Bowl. It feels like the combination of the two has made the game ancillary. Certainly, nothing exemplifies the bombast and ridiculousness of the occasion more than the halftime show, with a two-hour ...
If you have some time to spare on Super Bowl Sunday, the new<em> Fresh Prince of Bel-Air </em>might be worth a watch

The Timberwolves are on a roll and if you don’t believe us, check the standings
The Minnesota Timberwolves are on the rise. It’s possible to play a thrilling late November NBA game in the middle of an exciting College Football rivalry Saturday, and the Timberwolves played a double overtime thriller against the Philadelphia 76ers.

Milwaukee’s Peralta: 2021 NL Cy Young winner? (Don't tell me you just said, 'What?!')
Well, this trade deadline was crazy. The Dodgers continue to throw insane amounts of money at every problem they have. The Yankees teased the Red Sox by picking up Anthony Rizzo. So, why don’t we just take a small step back from all the trade talk and talk instead about someone who’s not getting nea...
<em>Space Jam 2</em> just sucks
So I saw Space Jam: A New Legacy over the weekend, and it’s just awful. Just an atrocious piece of cinema, and a blatant attempt to capture nostalgia money from fans of the original ‘90s film starring Michael Jordan. I wanted to wait until today to write anything about it though in order to get the ...
Coupe de “ill”
The Stanley Cup Final is a huge letdown after the rip-roaring semifinals, which isn’t really a surprise, because when the Lightning beat the Islanders to set up their title defense against the Canadiens, it was something of a fait accompli....
Georgia Tech coach Nell Fortner thanks the NCAA for telling on themselves
Nell Fortner is not here for the NCAA’s half-assed attempt to make it look like the weight room fiasco at the women’s basketball tournament was about difficulty with logistics or anything other than what it was: complete disregard for women, thinking they could get away with it without anyone notici...
Nothing compares to Prince (and the Purple Rain) at Super Bowl XLI
Few performances during the intermission of a sporting event have come close to feeling like a truly artistic display, but one stands out above them all. Fourteen years ago today, Prince delivered the most iconic Super Bowl halftime show we have ever seen. On Feb. 4, 2007, at Hard Rock Stadium in Mi...
Founder Of The Invictus Games Supports Injured War Veterans Of His Nation's Team

Barcelona's Bizarre Kevin-Prince Boateng Purchase Actually Makes All The Sense In The World
In 2019's most bizarre transfer move, Barcelona nabbed up Sassuolo’s bulky attacking whirlwind Kevin-Prince Boateng on a loan deal until the end of the season, with a reported $9 million option to buy in the summer. When soccer enthusiasts woke up on Monday, KPB was still a fun curio, a “remember wh...
Cody Rhodes, The Khans, And Chris Jericho Made Their New Promotion Official, And It Could Be Big
The news officially arrived through a pair of statements, a rally outside TIAA Bank Field, and a subsequent press junket, but the Jacksonville Jaguars owners Shahid “Shad” Khan and his son Tony made their bold new foray into the pro wrestling business official on Tuesday. The name of the new promot...

Report: Justin Timberlake To Perform With Prince Hologram At Super Bowl Halftime Show [UPDATE]
Justin Timberlake will share the Super Bowl halftime stage with a hologram of Prince, according to TMZ. This is so stupid. Better idea: watch the actual Prince’s Super Bowl halftime show, right now. Or, even better idea! Just air that performance AS the actual halftime show, tomorrow. I promise ever...
Markelle Fultz Is The Latest Star From The NBA's Feeder County<em></em>
The 2017 NBA draft will lead off with the selection of Markelle Fultz, just 10 days after Kevin Durant was named MVP of the NBA Finals. Both Fultz and Durant are from Prince George’s County, Maryland. But great as they surely are, Fultz and Durant don’t really throw the curve when it comes to gradi...
Touch The Trophy
Sidney Crosby is maybe the most polarizing superstar the NHL has ever had. (I admit to being a big-time Crosby stan, but I really don’t understand the other side of it. If you can’t appreciate rare greatness, well, what the hell do you even watch sports for?) But I hope we can all come together and ...
Behold This Marathon Runner Squirting Water At Prince William And Kate Middleton
In the hours after today’s London Marathon, people have been declaring this beautiful moment in which a runner picked up a collapsed fellow competitor and carried him over the finish line as the highlight of the race. That was lovely! That is not my highlight of the race. No, my highlight of the rac...

It’s now been six months since Prince Fielder tearfully announced that a second spinal fusion surgery meant he would be forced to retire from baseball at the age of 32, and it sounds like the guy is doing just fine. In an interview with Jerry Crasnick of ESPN, Fielder seems to be making peace with t...
Carrie Fisher Really Wanted You To Know She Hated The Metal Bikini
Carrie Fisher, who endured questions about a single costume from a single scene in a long career for over 30 years, had no qualms about making it clear that she hated that goddamned metal bikini you all got your rocks off to as horny teenage boys.
