Never Go To Jail On A Boat, And Other Kid Rock Cruise Lessons
I went on a five-day Kid Rock-themed cruise for GQ, which you can read all about right here. And if you read that article and you’re all like, “Rednecks and Kid Rock music and confined spaces at sea? THAT’S FOR ME!,” I must warn you that these cruises are NOT all-inclusive. You pay for booze, amigo....
Chandler Parsons Sent A Girl To Prom On A Party Bus
What does chill bro and Houston Rockets forward Chandler Parsons do when he gets asked to prom by one of his fans? He politely declines, and then sends her a bitchin' party bus....
Night For Joe Louis: Red Smith On Rocky Marciano's Knockout
Red Smith is the most respected sports columnist we've ever had. In his prime, Jimmy Cannon, Smith's friendly rival, was certainly as well-known. Cannon, the Voice of New York, was an emotional, colloquial writer whose reputation, unfortunately, has faded. But Smith endures. What is it about his wri...
Ángel Pagán's Walk-Off Inside-The-Park Home Run Was Just Foolish
So this is what the San Francisco Giants do. Sort of. They lead the majors with seven walk-off home runs already this year, so we guess that they found a way to win at home to the Rockies even when they were down 5-4 in the 10th inning shouldn't be too much of a surprise. This, though, wasn't just a...

OK, Who Wants To Sign Dwight Howard?
After two years of trade requests and petulance and a stock-lowering season with the Lakers, it's time for the Dwight Howard free agency sweepstakes—and four teams have emerged as potential landing spots should Howard decide to leave L.A....
Pitcher Tim Lincecum Slips, Busts Ass, Gets Called For a Balk
Last night, San Francisco Giants pitcher Tim Lincecum was on the mound against the Colorado Rockies. In the fourth inning he lined up to throw a pitch, slipped, and toppled over. He got called for a balk....

Who is that child? Where did it come from? Won't somebody pull up its pants?...
The Thunder Successfully Executed The Rare Double Flop
Down the stretch in the Rockets' 107-100 win, Oklahoma City turned to a “Hack-A-Whatever-His-Name-Is" strategy on Omer Asik. Before that though, the plan was apparently to get in the big man's way and go down like bowling pins....
Kevin Durant Finds That Life Without Russell Westbrook Isn't Much Fun
Comebacks from a 3-0 deficit have been done in hockey, and in baseball, but never in the NBA. It makes sense; those first two sports put an inordinate amount of weight on one person, a goaltender or a pitcher. But basketball is ostensibly the same starting five every night—except when it's not. Hous...
Chandler Parsons Is Really Sorry About Not Fist Bumping That Bro
Chandler Parsons had a huge game last night, scoring 27 points, grabbing 10 rebounds, and dishing eight assists while leading his team to a 105-103 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder. Right after the game ended, one Rockets fan tried to express his appreciation for Parsons by offering the forwa...
Carlos Delfino Dunks All Over Kevin Durant
This has got to be the highlight of Carlos Delfino's career, right? I mean, I just spent two minutes and thirty-five seconds watching a Carlos Delfino mixtape on YouTube, and I didn't see anything that even came close to being as cool as picking Kevin Martin's pocket, streaking down the court, and ...
Kevin Durant Blew By Four Houston Defenders For A Vicious Dunk
As powerful and graceful as this dunk was, Serge Ibaka's last second layup/tip-in attempt was just goofily anemic. The Rockets win 105-103 and keep the series alive at 3-1....
Kevin Durant To Russell Westbrook: "I Love You, Russ"
There sure are a lot of good vibes floating around in the NBA today, aren't there? We've got Jason Collins bravely opening up about his homosexuality, the Kings staying in Sacramento, and Metta World Peace talking about his Cookie Monster outfit. So let's keep the positivity flowing!...
Yes, Troy Tulowitzki Did Have A Mullet When He Was An Adorable Child
We've always been big fans Troy Tulowitzki's once-prodigious mullet (bring it back, Troy!), but until today, we had no idea that it was also an homage to Tulo's younger days. Thanks to the Colorado Rockies' Instagram account, though, we can now enjoy this picture of a mulleted, 8-year-old version of...
Michael Bay's Ode To Meatheads: <em>Pain & Gain</em>, Reviewed.
There are many movies that could have been made from the raw materials of Pain & Gain, which is based on a series of outrageous Miami New Times articles about three dimwit Florida bodybuilders who in 1994 kidnapped a rich local businessman and stripped him of all his assets. Some filmmakers, for exa...
MLB Should Probably Stop Scheduling April Games At Coors Field
Last week's four-game Mets-Rockies series featured two snow-outs, one of which was played as part of a supremely depressing doubleheader—a doubleheader, for that matter, which started two hours late because of an undermanned, overworked snow-clearing crew. The other game will probably be made up in ...

Tony Gwynn Jr. Shows Us How Hecklers Should Be Dealt With
This video has been on YouTube for almost two years, but we've only just discovered it. And we are very glad that we did, because this may be the best way we've ever seen a baseball player handle a heckler. ...
