I Can't Stop Looking At This Photo Of Marcus Smart Nonchalantly Shoving Joel Embiid
Joel Embiid stuck out an elbow and a foot, possibly maliciously and definitely in the sort of passive-aggressive way that players sometimes do this stuff to each other; Marcus Smart crashed into them, and then onto the floor; Smart got up and shoved Embiid onto the floor; and Getty’s Mitchell Leff s...
Demand Better From Your Access Merchants
A reporter who trades in scoops should have only one responsibility: to get it right. Regardless of the size of the scoop, it can’t be bogus. Yes, sometimes sources mislead reporters to serve their own purposes. But there’s only a limited pool of sources for this kind of transactional stuff, anyway:...
How Many Seconds Of Denis Shapovalov's Rap Can You Tolerate?

Mark Turgeon Implores Maryland Crowd To Stop Calling Michigan's Ignas Brazdeikis Ugly

Michigan Remembered Its Identity And Smothered Maryland To Death With It
Maryland did an excellent job surprising the crowd at the Crisler Center during its game against Michigan on Saturday.

How Baylor Happened
WACO, Texas — There’s not much to recommend spending four years in Waco. Driving into town up Interstate 35 from the south, the endless stretch of Texas nothing fills out slowly.
