The Warriors Are Ready For The Regular Season To End
After a 124-117 overtime loss to the Timberwolves, the Golden State Warriors have lost two out of their last three, and looked rough getting there. They turned the ball over a season-high 24 times, saw Minnesota attempt 28 more free throws, and allowed the T-Wolves enough open looks that they shot a...
Get A Load Of Vittorio Brumotti, Maniac Cycling Stuntman
After Peter Sagan won the Tour of Flanders last weekend, he blasted a lo-fi ‘gram of himself wheelieing across the line with the caption “Winner!”. Sagan is somewhat of an ur bro, whose bike handling skills are only exceeded by his propensity to show them off. In a moderate deep dive into the Sagan ...
Read The Laughable Lawsuit Patriots Fans Filed Against The NFL Over Ball-Deflation Punishment
It is a pleasant surprise that this lawsuit, filed today by New England Patriots fans against the NFL, is not scrawled in crayon on the back of a Papa Gino’s placemat, or smeared in shit on the wall of a truck-stop bathroom. But then you read it, and it might as well be: it accuses the NFL, in punis...
Villanova Students Got A Little Crazy Last Night
It’s been a long while since the Main Line had a championship to celebrate, but Villanova students more than made up for it. The party spilled out of the Pavilion and onto the streets and ran through the early morning, and saw numerous injuries and arrests, including two for, um, assaulting a police...
Steph Curry Is Some Kind Of Jedi Or Wizard Or Some Shit
At this point, there’s really nothing Steph Curry can do on the court that would genuinely shock anyone. Perhaps aware of this fact, Curry turned last night’s postgame interview into a highlight of its own....
The Silicon Valley Guys Who Turned Around The Warriors Don't Believe In Their Ridiculous Luck
Friday night, in the third quarter of a home game against the Boston Celtics, Steph Curry started throwing up threes with no more trouble than a drunk trying to fall onto a sofa. Six for six he was, the kind of eruption that literally changes the dimensions of the game: He buried one trey from just ...
Please Be Careful When Reaching For A Steph Curry Autograph
Or else you might end up at the bottom of a big pile of rabid Jazz fans....
Montrezl Harrell Suspended Five Games For Shoving Ref To The Floor
Houston Rockets forward Montrezl Harrell was suspended for five games after shoving a referee to the floor while on assignment with the D-League’s Rio Grande Valley Vipers on Saturday. Harrell and Bakersfield Jam forward Derek Cooke Jr. got tangled up as the game ended and began jawing and pushing e...
Just What The Hell Is Going On With Vincent D'Onofrio's Accent In This Pelé Movie?
Pelé—once an inspirational global icon as the widely recognized greatest soccer player of all time, now a smiling leathery husk dragged around the world for the enrichment of his handlers and the brands they license him to—has a movie coming out about his early life. From what we’ve seen in the trai...
When Running Away Before Steph Curry Shoots A Three Goes Wrong
The Warriors won last night, as they always do, bringing their record to 65-7 on the season. They need to go 8-2 to get to 73 wins, which is bonkers. We spend a lot of time lauding them, specifically for their incredibly fun habit of running away before Steph Curry’s shots go in, but last night, Kla...
Should Steve Kerr Rest The Warriors?
The Warriors’ hierarchy of needs—after food, shelter, and of course, love—breaks down in this order:...
A Bewildered Jim Ross Called The Weirdest U.S. Fight PPV We've Ever Seen
“Roy Jones Jr. will fight a fan in Phoenix!” the promo reel screamed, and that was just the main event to a bizarre card put on by URShow.tv last night in an online-only pay-per-view featuring MMA, pro wrestling, “grappling,” and boxing as called by an in-the-flesh Jim “J.R.” Ross....
Gregg Popovich's Scheming Threw The Warriors Off Their Game
The Spurs dealt the Warriors their seventh loss of the season last night down in San Antonio, and held the Dubs to just 79 points in the process. Those who switched over from college basketball hoping for a more exciting game probably would have had more fun sticking with March Madness, since the Sp...
This Steph Curry Shot Was Ridiculous, Even For Him
The Warriors went down to Dallas and won a wildly entertaining shootout against the Mavs 130-112. Steph Curry finished a rebound shy of a triple-double and yawned his way to a dominant performance. The Mavs kept it close into the fourth quarter, but he and Klay Thompson (who had 10 threes! 10!) just...
The Patriots Are Thrilled To Get Martellus Bennett, Even As The Bears Are Happy To See Him Leave
Their trade for Martellus Bennett feels like a good, exciting move for the Patriots, who haven’t had a second real pass-catching tight end since Aaron Hernandez, and who figure to enter this season with one of their more offensive-minded teams in a few years. Even better for New England’s Super Bowl...
Report: Patriots Trade Chandler Jones To Cardinals For Draft Pick, Jonathan Cooper
The Patriots will trade defensive end Chandler Jones to the Arizona Cardinals, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Dianna Russini. Arizona will give New England a second-round draft pick and offensive lineman Jonathan Cooper....
Andrew Bogut Hit His First Three-Pointer In Three Years
March 8, 2013, was the last time Warriors center Andrew Bogut even attempted a shot from beyond the arc. Since then he’s been waiting, watching, judging the angles, observing the Splash Brothers. Finally, in last night’s 125-107 win over the Pelicans, Bogut let ‘er rip....
