The Dunk Gods Giveth, The Dunk Gods Taketh Away
Sunday’s big Cavs-Celtics tilt in Boston is not shaping up how you might’ve reasonably imagined: The Cavs, with four brand new guys making their first ever appearances in Cavs jerseys, are mostly giving the business to the Celtics. That business featured this highlight, when J.R. Smith smushed the b...
Report: Chiefs Will Trade Alex Smith To Washington

On Final Play, Tua Tagovailoa Took Everything Georgia Gave Him<em></em>
Tua Tagovailoa turned the Alabama offense into something it hasn’t been in living memory: fun. The true freshman, cannon-armed, fleet-legged quarterback who hadn’t played a snap of football that wasn’t in garbage time came on at halftime against Georgia and utterly transformed the moribund Crimson T...
JuJu Smith-Schuster Celebrates Steelers TD By Reenacting Hit On Vontaze Burfict

Joe Smith, Baseball's One True Joe Smith, To Sign With Astros
Much is made of the fact that baseball’s history makes the sport so rich in numbers—a statistic to back up every story and an analysis to run for every situation, as broadcasters and newspaper columnists and front office nerds alike will all remind you—but that baseball’s history makes the sport so ...
Bout Stopped After Boxer's Ear Nearly Torn Off
Stephen Smith took a loss tonight in Las Vegas in his super featherweight bout against Francisco Vargas when his left ear became dangerously close to being entirely ripped off. The video is gross; this GIF is grosser: ...
Steelers' Mike Mitchell Rails At The NFL's Inconsistency On Suspensions For Hits
Steelers safety Mike Mitchell watched how the NFL has responded to three different plays in this past week of football, and he’s not happy about the different punishments that the league has handed down in response or the arcane reasoning behind those punishments....
That Was Bad Football
A grimy football game can be fun, sometimes. Messy, brutal, even a little bit of dirty play can raise the stakes, or at least turn a game into a car wreck that can’t be looked away from. Steelers-Bengals was not fun....
Giants Bench Eli Manning For Geno Smith
Eli Manning’s streak of 210 consecutive starts will end this weekend, as Giants coach Ben McAdoo announced that Geno Smith will take over at QB against the Raiders. Manning’s streak was the second longest in NFL history, 87 starts behind Brett Favre. Smith started one game for the New York Jets las...
The Chiefs Are Flailing
The Chiefs have posted a winning record in all four seasons with quarterback Alex Smith and head coach Andy Reid, but they’ve only won one playoff game. Last summer, there was some talk of giving first-round draft pick QB Patrick Mahomes II a shot instead of Smith. Mahomes, a Big 12 gunslinger, was ...
Pau Gasol Gets A Front-Row Seat To Dennis Smith Jr.'s Giant Dunk
Everyone from LeBron James on down knows that Mavs rookie Dennis Smith Jr. is an awe-inducing athletic talent with a penchant for all-out slams, so you can’t blame Pau Gasol for wanting a glimpse of Smith’s abilities for his own. As Smith dribbled with Gasol on him at the top of the arc, the veteran...
JuJu Smith-Schuster Regrets His Sloppy Post-TD Performance As Choking Victim Jalen Ramsey
The Steelers have put together a strong portfolio of touchdown celebrations this season, but they had a bit of a stumble Sunday against the Colts. After receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster scored in the third quarter, he celebrated by reenacting one of Week 9's NFL fights. Smith-Schuster portrayed Jalen Ra...
Chiefs End The First Half With A 57-Yard Mini Hail Mary Touchdown
Alex Smith isn’t the type to throw deep bombs, even in Hail Mary situations, but at the end of the first half today against the Cowboys, the Chiefs QB found a way around that limitation. On the final play before the clock hit zero, Smith was in his own territory and threw a relatively short pass acr...
JuJu Smith-Schuster Is Having A Ball
It’s been a weird rookie season for Steelers receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster, who last week was unwillingly pulled into a one-sided beef with teammate Martavis Bryant before having his bike stolen. But during last night’s game against the Lions, he had about as much fun as a football player can possibl...
Stephen A. Smith Has Manufactured Another Insane Feud With A Professional Athlete
ESPN shit-for-brains Stephen A. Smith recently shared some, umm, thoughts (?) on his radio show about the new Nike NBA warmups, which come with comfy hoods. Certain players have taken to wearing the hoods during pregame warmups, and when sitting on the bench. Smith, in full-on psychotic raving mode,...
Steve Smith Might Really Whoop Michael Irvin's Ass
During Thursday’s NFL Network pregame show, Michael Irvin couldn’t resist taking a shot at Steve Smith’s pants. It seems like a bad idea to joke with the guy who once broke his own teammate’s nose, but it was heartening to see Irvin put his own neck on the line for once....
The Pelicans Are Already So Fucked They Have To Sign Josh Smith
Josh Smith, the guy who even three years ago was a withered hand choking to death any offense’s hopes of spacing and scoring, was last (un)seen touring with Maccabi Haifa this NBA preseason, following a stint with the Sichuan Blue Whales in China. He was reportedly looking for an NBA comeback, and i...

Have You Seen JuJu Smith-Schuster's Bike? [Update]
It’s been a rough week for Steelers rookie JuJu Smith-Schuster. Martavis Bryant is talking shit online about him, he’s landed in the concussion protocol, and now some rapscallion has made off with Smith-Schuster’s prized bicycle. This is bullshit! Give it back!...
