Jason La Canfora Is Fed Up With All These Useless Homers<em></em>

The Chill And Strong Orioles Beat The Pirates<em></em>
The Baltimore Orioles beat the Pittsburgh Pirates Tuesday night 6-5 in the 10th inning on a Mark Trumbo walk-off RBI single that came after Chris Davis and Jonathan Schoop hit back-to-back home runs in the seventh, and Schoop homered again with Davis aboard to tie the game in the bottom of the ninth...
Bill Belichick Seems Thrilled To Chat About Tom Brady's Alleged Unreported Brain Injuries
Last month, Gisele Bundchen went on TV and said that her husband Tom Brady has played with several unreported concussions over the course of his career, including last year.

The Warriors Are Math
The old-timey wisdom goes: Basketball is a matchup sport. I think I’ve heard Kenny Smith or various other Kenny Smiths say some version of this more than 200 times in my life. That is, basketball outcomes are not determined neatly along gradients of pure talent and/or skill, but rather by how varyin...
Steph Curry Gave LeBron James The Runaround
It’s sort of hard to crystallize a Warriors attack that could only be described as “relentless”—in both games so far, the Cavs have survived for a half, then understandably given way under a barrage that just doesn’t let up, and comes from so many different angles. (Seriously, how many times did a C...

Eric Mangini Is Still Waiting For Bill Belichick To Be His Friend Again
It’s now been a decade since then-New York Jets head coach Eric Mangini set off Spygate by alerting the NFL to the New England Patriots videotaping opponents’ signals. And he still wants to repair his friendship with Bill Belichick, who hasn’t talked to him since. ...
Juventus Equalize On Mario Mandžukić<em></em> Overhead Golazo Off Stunning Passes
Mario Mandžukić’s overhead stunner came off a series of volleyed passes to draw Juventus even with Real Madrid in the first half of today’s Champions League final; this one absolutely must be heard with the Fox Deportes commentary, because it is manic commentating done to perfection....
The Cavs Were Scared Enough Of Steph Curry That They Let Kevin Durant Destroy Them
The Cavs, who have to play perfect basketball to beat the Warriors, did not play perfect basketball last night in Game 1, so they did not beat the Warriors. They turned over the rock 20 times and ceded 27 fast break points, which is not all that shocking given their piss-poor transition defense duri...
No Mistakes Allowed
Close one eye and squint with the other, and last night’s Game 1 box score starts to look like a positive one for the Cavaliers: The Warriors only had two players score in double figures; Klay Thompson and Draymond Green combined to shoot 6-of-28; LeBron James and Kyrie Irving did their thing. Open ...
I'm Just Here For The Rihanna-Kevin Durant Feud
After waiting roughly 50 weeks for basketball that was both close and meaningful...we did not get that. We got destruction, a 113-91 Warriors win led by Kevin Durant’s 38-8-8. What we did get was the start of a pretty great athlete-celebrity beef, and neither is going to fold as easily as the Cavali...
Warriors Look Disgustingly Unstoppable In Game 1 Blowout Victory
For the better part of a quarter, the Cavaliers and Warriors gave us the gloriously competitive game these playoffs have so been lacking. Then Cleveland suddenly became unable to defend Kevin Durant in any capacity, Golden State looked every bit as unstoppable as they’re supposed to be, and it all w...

It’s that time of year again: 364 days and 23 hours since the end of the conference finals, the NBA Finals are here!

Jets And Browns Exchange Hostages
The Jets and Browns made a rare player-for-player trade this morning, with safety Calvin Pryor going to Cleveland and inside linebacker Demario Davis headed back to North Jersey. Because both players are Jets draft busts, this deal feels like a ransom agreement....
