Front Row At The Spurs Game Is Awesome Until Ron Artest Spills Coffee In Your Face
This Spurs fan, identified only as "Bob," sure picked the wrong Spurs game to sit court-side for free in a white Oxford! Bob, to his credit, was very understanding about the coffee-in-face situation, even when Lisa Salters attempted to one-up him with yet another harrowing tale of gravity in the s...
The Broken Phenom, The Overzealous Enforcer, And Some New Ammo For The Anti-Fighting Crowd
Try to justify the institution of the enforcer in hockey to an outsider, and you'll likely pull out the usual arguments. It's about protection, about fear, about retribution. So yes, on a basic level, it's about pain. But it's never, never about injury. So with two players still out in the wake of a...

Bart Scott Now Owns The Rights To The Phrase "Can't Wait!"
Sal Paolantonio interviewed Bart Scott back in January, after the Jets defeated the Patriots, 28-21 in the AFC semifinals.

Derrick Rose Will Miss A Three-Pointer Just So He Can Dunk On Your Head
The Bulls blew a 19-point lead and committed 17 turnovers in an 83-80 loss in Atlanta last night. Derrick Rose didn't shoot particularly well — he was 5-for-21 from the field and had 12 points and 12 assists — but he did make up for it when he missed....

Here's Derrick Rose Going Between The Legs To Joakim Noah
This is one of Rose's nine assists in Chicago's 105-77 drubbing of the Wizards last night. It's also, you'll notice, a one-year Calipari point guard schooling a younger one-year Calipari point guard, John Wall, in the NBA fast break. Rose finished with 21 and 9; Wall had 9 and 10....

Child Blackhawk Reporter Has The World By Its Balls
Hiring cute children as on-air talent is no longer a meme. It's an affliction. The innocently invasive questions. The gnat-like attention spans. We should be sick of it. But, hell, this little feller the Chicago Blackhawks have working the locker room is still fairly adorable as he talks to player...
