Fox Sports 1's Katie Nolan Lays Waste To Rick Reilly
Rick Reilly went on TV yesterday and said some stupid things—chief among them was referring to Olympic gold medalist Gabby Douglas as Gabby Giffords, the Arizona congresswoman who survived being shot in the head in 2011—but he also said some mean things about Regis Philbin. Reilly's words did not s...
Doug McDermott Hits Game-Winner From 25 Feet Out
Doug McDermott, Creighton's do-it-all forward, dropped 39 points on 15-26 shooting against St. John's last night, and none were sweeter than his last three. ...
How Creighton Created The Craziest, Deadliest Offense In The Country
The box score from last night's Creighton-Villanova game—a game that ended with Creighton upsetting the No. 4 team in the country behind 21 made three-pointers—looks like a fluke. No team is supposed to heave 35 three-pointers in 40 minutes, let alone connect on 60 percent of them, right? Wrong. The...
LeBron James Salty Over Hard Foul
With nearly nine minutes left in the fourth quarter, a steamrolling LeBron James looked to be fouled hard by Mirza Teletovic. An uneventful scrum convened under the basket.

Why The Chiefs Lost
Chiefs players might feel terrible this morning, but they pulled off a rather impressive feat last night. Despite losing Jamaal Charles, inarguably their best offensive player, to a possible concussion six plays into the game, Kansas City's offense still produced 44 points. It's a shame that the Col...
Chiefs-Colts Was The Classic Playoff Game We Get Every Year
It happens nearly every year and we're always surprised, but Chiefs-Colts was another insane NFL playoff game. After a close first quarter, the Chiefs jumped all over the Colts in the second quarter with 21 points and headed into the half—on an Andrew Luck interception—with a 31-10 lead. The Colts c...
Andre Iguodala Almost Made The Coolest Play Of The Year
The box score will tell you that Andre Iguodala's return to the Warriors last night was uneventful. Iggy came back from injury to play just 17 minutes and score two points while shooting 1-of-4 from the field. The box score will not tell you that he came this close to bringing the damn house down....

Smash
The big question for those of us jaded with the modern game of ping-pong—the oof-plock, oof-plock of devious sponge, no rally lasting longer than the cramped spin serve, the dabbed return, and the silent kill—was whether the great Marty Reisman, just one grey hair short of 70 but still refusing the ...

Shawn Andrews: Time With Eagles Felt Like "A Living Hell"
Offensive lineman Shawn Andrews spent all but one season of his NFL career with the Philadelphia Eagles, and according to him, the locker room atmosphere was absolutely horrible.

Andre Iguodala Leaves Some Rich Dudes Hanging On A High Five
These three dudes were right there after Andre Iguodala's buzzer-beater to beat the Thunder, and they were right there to give Iguodala a giant high five after it happened. Look at their faces. Look at the way two of them follow through after Iguodala turns and walks away. Look at how the dude to th...
Oh Yeah, Andre Iguodala Also Made A Ludicrous Pass Last Night
Yeah, 55-foot alley-oops are pretty cool, but so are behind-the-back passes from the corner that lead to an easy layup. Be sure to catch Iguodala's facial expression as he runs back on defense. Not even he can believe that shit actually worked. ...
