Steph Curry Sprained His Ankle Again, Again
Golden State’s Stephen Curry rolled his right ankle coming down from a layup attempt early in the first quarter against the San Antonio Spurs last night. Here’s that:...
This Video Of Nate McLouth Speaking Spanish Is Fucking Me Up
That this post is about Nate McLouth, who hasn’t played in the majors since 2014, already indicates that the information’s a bit old, but this video’s making the rounds now and I’d never seen it before, so whatever. McLouth, then with the Baltimore Orioles, did an interview with a Spanish-speaking r...
Steve Kerr's Good NBA Draft Idea: Let Undrafted Players Return To Their Teams
Current NCAA regulations forbid any player who declares for the NBA draft and signs with an agent to return to his college team, even if he goes undrafted. It’s a particularly cruel facet of an already exploitative system, and a rule that’s explicitly designed to keep players within the bounds of th...
NFL Teams Are Still Asking Draft Prospects Powerfully Stupid Questions
Let me tell you, as someone who did miserable corporate human resources for a period of years and is still involved in hiring and firing at a small business: interviewing candidates sucks. You are there to find out whether this person will be able to do a good job for your company, and they are ther...
Robert Kraft's Special Pal Had A Baby
A thing I’d like to impress upon you is how difficult it can be to get the Patriots to comment on a story. Let alone on a story that could be characterized as gossip. Let alone on the record. Trust me, I know. That said, here’s a statement from the Patriots, via the Boston Globe:...
Report: Gronk Feel Like Pawn In Game Of Life
Although Rob Gronkowski goes about his everyday life like an ageless high schooler, he’ll be 29 in May and has had a bunch of surgeries to his back and limbs. Add in his marketability and the fact that he’s already sealed up a Hall of Fame spot whenever he walks away from the NFL, and it’s not compl...
Maybe Just Get Zaza Pachulia The Fuck Out Of Here
Here are some fun clips. For all intents and purposes, they might as well be the highlights of Zaza Pachulia’s 14-year NBA career....
Extremely Pissed Russell Westbrook, On Zaza Pachulia: "He Tried To Hurt Me"
The Warriors pounded the bejeezus out of the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday night, to the tune of 112-80. 80 points is the fewest scored in a game this season by the Thunder, and 32 points is their biggest margin of defeat. It was a wipeout: the Warriors won every quarter, and held the trio of Russe...
Steph Curry Is Funny
Here is a shot that Steph Curry made last night. These are the things about it that made me laugh:...
Steve Kerr Says Teens Demanding Gun Control Are "Heroic"
Reporters have quickly learned that it’s worth asking Warriors head coach Steve Kerr about politics, because he’s usually got something to say, and when he does it’s almost always worth hearing. Last week Kerr was blunt in blaming the government for inactivity on gun control that inevitably leads to...
Report: With No White House Invite, Warriors Will Use D.C. Trip To Spend Day With Local Kids Instead
The Warriors won’t be spending any of their upcoming time in D.C. with President Donald Trump, so they’ll reportedly be spending some time on “a private tour of an undisclosed locale” with local children instead....
St. Joe's Must Be Sick Of Getting Owned By Cool Buzzer-Beaters
A mad scramble and a stunning three gave St. Joe’s and George Mason a case of deja vu in their second meeting of the season tonight. Ian Boyd hit a game-winning, buzzer-beating three that put his GMU Patriots over the Hawks....
Ball Boy Gets His Ass Kicked By Soccer Player For Celebrating A Goal
Not every rivalry match is as internationally renown as Spain’s El Clásico or England’s North London Derby. Nevertheless, even the smallest of local derbies often include frankly ridiculous levels of feistiness and aggression. Which explains this video of a grown man pummeling a ball boy after takin...
Fabio Fognini Pulls Off A Zany, Totally Accidental Trick Shot<em></em>
Set point, nerves jangling, sweaty palms—it’s not all that uncommon for a player’s racquet to slip out of their hands on the followthrough of a serve under circumstances like these. It is, however, completely nuts for that racquet to then strike the court at such a precise angle so that it bounces n...
Here Are Two Minutes Of Loopy Bill Walton Quips From Last Night
Bill Walton, Doris Burke and Dave Pasch did commentary for last night’s Warriors-Blazers game. It was in honor of Oregon’s 159th birthday, Walton said. And it was a blast....
At Least Draymond Green Is An Honorable Bettor
Between the serial testicle-kicking and overall dickishness, it’s easy to be annoyed by Draymond Green. But after last night’s loss to the Blazers, he showed that when it comes to settling bets he is a chill and honorable dude....
Steve Kerr: "It Doesn't Seem To Matter To Our Government That Children Are Being Shot To Death"
Steve Kerr—never one to shy away from expressing his takes on politics and gun control in particular—was asked about the horrifying school shooting in Broward County, Florida before tonight’s game against the Blazers. A subdued Kerr called for Americans who are also fed the hell up with the NRA’s in...
Vacation Bill Belichick Is Fully Operational
After a Super Bowl loss to Nick Foles, Patriots head coach and History Channel buff Bill Belichick has escaped to an island to unwind with his girlfriend Linda Holliday. That vacay outfit has everything: an “Adapt or Die” shirt with the Gadsden snake, a “VII Rings” visor, and chill beach trunks. Yea...
Where Does The IOC's Money Go?
It’s impossible to avoid money at the Olympics. It’s everywhere: sponsorships, advertising, and evidence of broadcasting rights abound. While it’s well known by this point that host cities and countries typically incur high costs to put on the games, they’re not the ones reaping the major financial ...
Steve Kerr Let His Players Coach The Game And It Worked
Okay, yes, maybe he gets points deducted for pulling this move during a game against the pitiful Suns, but Warriors head coach Steve Kerr did something genuinely cool and unexpected last night: he let his players run every timeout huddle. The Warriors won 129-83....
