How Much Madison Bumgarner Are We Going To See Tonight?
It took the Royals about an hour to put away Game 6 last night, leaving us all plenty of time to start thinking about how each team plans to set itself up in Game 7. One question looms larger than all the others: How much is Madison Bumgarner going to pitch?...
Oh Man, The Lakers Are In Big, Big Trouble
Yep, the Lakers really are going with this whole "play terrible basketball on purpose" thing. Last night against the Rockets, they attempted 10 three-pointers as a team—two more than Houston's Trevor Ariza fired up by himself—and sent the Rockets to the free-throw line 50 times. They did both of t...
Lakers Rookie Julius Randle Breaks Leg In First NBA Game
In a 90-108 loss to the Houston Rockets in their season opener, the Los Angeles Lakers looked about as underwhelming and stagnant as everyone feared they would be. What's already shaping up to be a rough season in L.A. got even worse when rookie forward Julius Randle, the seventh overall pick in thi...
Wilson Kipsang Could Be $500K Richer For A Shit Run In London '13
The World Marathon Majors, which consist of Tokyo, London, Boston, Berlin, Chicago, and New York, crown a champion every year based on overall placing during a two-year period. It is as unintelligible and confusing as it sounds. That being said, the WMM does dole out a half-million dollars to its tw...
Kobe And Dwight Howard Talk Shit To Each Other, Get Double Technicals
Dwight Howard left the Lakers a season ago, but because of Kobe Bryant's achilles injury, the two haven't played against each other since their ill-fated partnership blew up in everybody's face. If you thought things between the two were all good, well, you don't know Kobe Bryant very well....
It's Opening Night, & Gregg Popovich Is Already Fed Up With Interviews
It's no secret that Gregg Popovich is no fan of the in-game interview, but we figured he'd make it through at least one of them this season without the whole thing breaking down into a postmodern farce. We were wrong....
All Of Madison Bumgarner's Game 5 Strikeout Pitches, At The Same Time
Giants ace Madison Bumgarner's line last night was filthy, and in the course of earning the complete game he picked up eight strikeouts while walking zero. Here is a video featuring a composite of all eight of those strikeout pitches, similar to what we did with Clayton Kershaw's no-hitter....
Madison Bumgarner Was The Best Version Of Himself Last Night
Madison Bumgarner, who now owns one of the best World Series résumés of any starting pitcher in history, was a monster last night. He's been a monster throughout the postseason, of course, but last night gave us a good look at the scariest version of the stoic lefty. ...
Madison Bumgarner Should Be Illegal
Giants pitcher Madison Bumgarner's biggest weakness is the start of the game. He holds a 5.73 ERA in the first inning this season, and a 2.49 average in the rest of them. The Royals did not get to Bumgarner early. They did not get to Bumgarner at all....
Hunter Pence's Catch Was Good, But His Face Was Better
Giants outfielder Hunter Pence made an excellent catch in the ninth inning of Game 4 last night, but please watch the slow-mo replay. Look at Pence's crazed face. It's a combination of the Michael Jordan tongue wag and the eyes of someone who locked eyes with Medusa....
Out-On-His-Feet Chargers Player Swears He Wasn't Concussed
Sometimes a concussion doesn't knock a player out, or even down. In the video above, keep an eye on Charges safety Jahleel Addae, No. 37, coming in from the left side of the screen. And keep in mind that he says it wasn't a concussion....
Back Injury Forces Steve Nash Out For Entire 2014–15 Season
The bad back that has plagued Steve Nash his entire career has knocked him out for the entire season before it even begins, the Lakers announced Thursday night. Nash suffered the latest re-aggravation—I shit you not—while carrying some luggage....
Branden Oliver Is San Diego's New, Improved Darren Sproles
The Chargers looked stacked at running back before the season started. Ryan Mathews would lead, Danny Woodhead would find some carries and work as a frequent pass-catcher, and Donald Brown would do... something—So nice to have you, Donald! By Week 5, Mathews, Woodhead, and Brown were sidelined by in...
Chris Douglas-Roberts Is Bringing Short Shorts Back To The NBA
Chris Douglas-Roberts signed a one-year deal with the Clippers, and is taking advantage of the opportunity to inflict untold horrors on the basketball-loving public. Douglas-Roberts asked for medium-sized shorts. Functionally, those are short shorts....
Jeanie Buss Goes In On "Losers" Who Don't Want To Play With Kobe
Things aren't going so great for the Los Angeles Lakers right now. Their head coach is dead set on implementing a caveman brand of basketball that may very well turn the Lakers into the worst team in the NBA, and a recent story by ESPN's Henry Abbott painted Kobe Bryant as a self-sabotaging sociopat...
Old Clippers Fan Mauls Young Clippers Fan In Brawl During Game
Button-up man took on T-shirt man at Wednesday night's Suns-Clippers game to determine whose style of shirt was superior. Or, maybe they were fighting for a dumber reason. Who knows....

Eric Bledsoe Shook Some Poor Scrub Right Off The Damn Court
Preseason basketball isn't really worth much of anyone's time, but there is value in the fact that it allows the game's best players ample opportunity to humiliate end-of-the-bench scrubs in live game action. That's how we ended up with Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe shaking Clippers benchwarmer Jare...
