I Think Kevin Durant Might Already Be Losing It
It goes against nearly all of my instincts as a sports fan and writer to buy into narrative concepts such as heroes and villains. An athlete who ditches his team for a better situation is not suddenly a bad guy just because some Twitter users and columnists decide he is, and public opinion doesn’t r...

Andrew Bogut Dunked On, This Time On Twitter <em></em>
Dallas Mavericks and former Golden State Warriors center Andrew Bogut’s political beliefs are exactly what you would expect them to be.

Draymond Green's Taekwondo Skills Are Already In Midseason Form
Draymond “The Human Vasectomy” Green, whose reputation is rooted in his kicking ability as much as it is his actual basketball skills, is back at the martial arts-ing, even in preseason. Here he is last night against the Blazers, leveling his big foot toward Allen Crabbe:...
Draymond Green Will Be Tolerated As Long As He Continues Helping The Warriors Win<em></em>
Draymond Green is the straw that stirs the Golden State Warriors’ drink, and that is precisely the problem, posits an ESPN deep dive into Green and the Warriors.

Russell Westbrook's Tired Of Talking About Kevin Durant
It feels like every time Kevin Durant talks about his new gig with the Golden State Warriors, someone runs those quotes over to Oklahoma City and throws them at Russell Westbrook, hoping that he’ll sniff around, find a part he likes, and sink his teeth into it. Westbrook’s had enough of the cycle, b...
Tom Brady Doesn't Want To Talk About Donald Trump
With all manner of Republican lawmakers revoking their endorsements of Donald Trump, it was only a matter of time before somebody asked Tom Brady where he stands after his “good friend” was caught on tape bragging about sexually assaulting women. That time came today at Brady’s weekly press conferen...
Michael And Martellus Bennett Are Still Talking Outrageous Shit About, Well, Everyone
Nobody in the NFL gives nearly as good a quote as Michael and Martellus Bennett do.
