Six Ways The Cavs Can Get Back Into This Series
The Cleveland Cavaliers have been dominated by the Golden State Warriors through the first two games of the NBA Finals. Down 2-0, the Cavs are running short on chances to get back into the series, but I think they still have a shot if they make the following adjustments....
It Seems The Cavs Are Just Now Learning That The Warriors Play Small
The Warriors disemboweled the Cavaliers last night, winning by 33 in a game that didn’t feel that close, and while there are a million different reasons why, one of the biggest is how effectively Golden State played small. Down two to begin the second quarter, the Warriors went the next 12 minutes w...
Marlins Prospect Injures Teammate With Knife In Prank Gone Wrong
The Class-A Greensboro Grasshoppers placed Miami Marlins outfield prospect Stone Garrett on the disabled list Saturday after 2015 first-round pick Josh Naylor injured him with a knife last week in a practical joke that went awry....
Kevin Love In Concussion Protocol After Taking Elbow To The Head
This hasn’t exactly been the redemptive trip to the Finals Kevin Love was probably hoping for. After scoring 17 points and grabbing 13 rebounds in the Game 1 loss, Love had the worst night possible in Game 2. He scored five points and corralled three rebounds in 21 minutes, and had to remove himself...
There Should Be A "Soo" For Expressing Emphasis
Often, when I want to express emphasis I write “soo” instead of “so.” And even if no one else thinks this should be generally adopted, I think I’m right and they’re wrong....
Finnish TV Announcer Goes Nuts Over Joonas Donskoi's Overtime-Winning Game 3 Goal
“JOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS DONNNNNNNNNNNSKOOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!”...
Joonas Donskoi OT Goal Wins Game 3 For Sharks, Gives Us A Series
For awhile there, it looked like Pittsburgh wasn’t going to lose another game; the Penguins had become a completely different team somewhere around the midway point of their Game 5 loss to Tampa Bay. Thankfully (for neutral hockey fans, at least) San Jose found a goal when it counted, courtesy a Fin...
Whatever You Say, Dude [UPDATE: He's Deleting Them]
Update: The Tennessee Republican later tweeted this:...
The Cardinals Lost Their 27th Game
Johnny Cueto picked up his ninth win on the season as the San Francisco Giants outpaced the St. Louis Cardinals last night, 5-1....
Patriotic Idiot Delays Astros Game
Today’s A’s-Astros game in Houston came to a screeching, but patriotic, halt in the bottom of the fourth after a fan rushed the field bearing what we’re told was an American flag. U-S-A! U-S-A!...
Colombia Take 2-0 Lead; At Least We Get The Heavy Metal Goal Call
A handball in the box set James Rodríguez up for a penalty that put Colombia up 2-0 on the U.S., and our only consolation is that we get to listen to El Cantante del Gol, Javier Fernández, call it—as heard in Colombia on Caracol TV....
The USMNT Needs To Go Young Or Die
The United States Men’s National Team will open the Copa America Centenario—a wonderfully entertaining Frankentournament that the U.S. is hosting only through sheer force of corruption—with a match against Colombia tonight in Santa Clara, Calif. Colombia is the shit. They could have taken down Brazi...
Holy Hell, Are Arsenal Really About To Buy Jamie Vardy?
Normally, we don’t like contributing to the transfer rumor-industrial complex, where newspapers and websites churn out story after story about hypothetical moves backed up with the thinnest evidentiary threads that almost never actually happen. This, however, is different. This is crazy....
Shit, I Guess We Should Talk About The Gorilla
On this week’s Deadcast, Marchman and I dive into the surprisingly blame-free death of Harambe the Gorilla. I searched all week for a decent gorilla take, and there was none to be had. If anything, THAT is the real tragedy of all this. I guess the only real lesson is to avoid zoos because they’re ho...
Should Intent Matter When A Lousy Player Whacks A Guy In The Dick And Balls?
For my money, the strangest moment of last night’s lopsided NBA Finals Game 1 came just after Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova whacked Warriors forward Andre Iguodala in the dick and balls....
What The Hell, Japan?
All sorts of people throw out first pitches before baseball games. Old guys, dinosaurs, washed rappers—you name it, they’ve done it. But this week, Nippon Professional Baseball—ever the innovators—went and put every quirky MLB first pitch into the toilet with this bizarre, unsettling play-within-a-p...
Shaun Livingston's Jumper Is The Poison On The Warriors' Blade
Imagine playing for the Cavaliers, and spending the better part of the last two nights stress-dreaming about how you will possibly be able to survive Steph Curry and Klay Thompson. Then imagine playing in Game 1 of the NBA Finals and escaping their wrath with nothing more than a 20-point flesh wound...
Ken Starr Faceplants When Confronted With Email Showing He Was Told About Rape At Baylor
The Ken Starr (yes, that Ken Starr) image rehabilitation tour has begun, with Starr joining the calls for transparency from Baylor’s Board of Regents. He’s urging the regents to release the full Pepper Hamilton report into how Baylor created a culture so blind that administrators believed rape “does...
