This Is A Gregg Popovich GIF
This is from 1999 and judging by the credits (and the moves) it is probably an NBA Finals celebration when Pop's Spurs beat the New York Knicks. ...
Brazilian Superstar Neymar Headed To FC Barcelona
Neymar, the Brazilian wonderkid who has already cemented himself as one of the world's top soccer players, announced last night that he is signing for FC Barcelona on a five-year deal. Brazilian club Santos accepted a $32 million bid from the Spanish giants for the player. It's one of the earliest b...
Gregg Popovich Is A Man Of Two Words
Well, he's a man of one word said twice, anyway. ...
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...
Yep, The L.A. Media Is <em>Still</em> Confused By The City's Hockey Team
Man, that was close. Just when we were starting to think we'd get through an entire NHL season without a Kings-related screw-up from the Los Angeles media, Fox 11's Liz Habib rides to the rescue....
A Brief Oral History Of The Best Jump Ball Of All Time
On Tuesday night, Matt Bonner and Zach Randolph combined to create the above piece of comedic gold. I caught up with Bonner, who claimed he still hasn't seen the replay of the play, although he plans to now. "I have a sense of humor," he said. "Someone told me that Jeff Van Gundy was joking about it...
An Anonymous Jet Is Blasting Mark Sanchez; Summer Is Unofficially Here
This year was going to be different, the front office claimed. The leaks would stop, Woody Johnson declared. It took under 24 hours from the Jets' first open practice for an unnamed player to tell a reporter that most of his teammates don't want Mark Sanchez at quarterback....
Mayor Of San Francisco Calls Steph Curry "Steve Curry"
While presenting Curry with the key to the city, no less. How many gorgeous three-pointers does a basketball folk hero have to sink before he gets some respect in this town? ...
Donald Sterling All But Says Clippers Players Got Vinny Del Negro Fired
T.J. Simers's ability to antagonize pretty much everyone he covers is legendary. So it's twistedly fitting that he's the only L.A. writer to directly call up Donald Sterling, and get the worst owner in sports to be brutally honest about why Vinny Del Negro had to go....
Michael Crabtree Tore His Achilles, Could Miss The Season
Per USA Today's Mike Garafolo, 49ers receiver Michael Crabtree tore his Achilles during organized team activities yesterday. A source also told Garafolo that Crabtree will soon have surgery, and that the injury could be serious enough to keep Crabtree from playing this season....
The Wall Is In Bryce Harper's Head
After Bryce Harper clumsily ran face-first into the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium, we were assured—by Harper himself and others—that the incident would not prevent Harper from “playing hard” in the future. Those assurances may have been given a bit hastily....
Matt Bonner And Zach Randolph Give Us The Best Jump Ball Of All Time
This was absolutely the highlight of last night's Grizzlies-Spurs game. There's just something refreshing about watching two NBA players flail around like a couple of hapless rec leaguers. I hope every remaining game in this series features multiple jump balls between Randolph and Bonner, each endin...
Jalen Rose Says Tony Allen's Flop Was Worthy Of A Pulitzer Prize
When Manu Ginobili hit Tony Allen with a flagrant foul late in last night's Grizzlies-Spurs game, Allen engaged in a truly fantastic bit of theater by pretending that Ginobili's foul had caused him to slam his head against the floor. It was a flop for the ages (which doesn't change the fact that th...
Mike Trout Was Born To Hit For The Cycle
It's almost surprising that it took Mike Trout this long—his 224th career major league game—to hit for the cycle. But this generation's prototypical five-tool player rectified that last night, and finished it off in style....
Spurs Beat Grizzlies; All Anyone Cares About Is "We Did It" Guy
Memphis came back from a mighty deficit to force overtime in San Antonio (thanks to a questionable late flagrant foul call) but couldn't pull out the victory. It led one fan nearby to issue quite the verbal ejaculation. Deadspin I-Team, assemble....
