Mookie Betts Drove A Golf Cart Right Into A Lake
Red Sox center fielder Mookie Betts is an adept baseball man, as well as an extremely skilled bowler. What he’s not good at is driving a golf cart, apparently. He and Travis Shaw went golfing this afternoon, and they got a bit more amphibious than they wanted to....
Holster, Dog Agility Champion, We Salute You
There are precious few things you can count on for certain in this life. One of those: dog agility contests will always be delightful. This here’s Holster, a six-year-old Australian Shepherd. As you can see from the photo up top, he’s a very good dog who loves pets, and as you can see from the video...
Cricket Guy Somersaults In Mid-Air To Make Beautiful Catch
Corey Anderson is a bowler for New Zealand’s cricket team, and also apparently a future stunt double for action movies. This is like when pitchers catch line drives hit right back at them, only with an order of magnitude more swagger. I have to agree with our lovely-accented commentator here: that w...
DeMarcus Cousins Has The Quote Of All-Star Weekend
DeMarcus Cousins has an ugly game. He’s a pouting tornado of elbows and snarls, who tramples over opponents instead of going over or around them. He looks so mad on the court, so the second-time all-star is no doubt enjoying his time up in Toronto away from the Sacramento Kings Circus....
The Only Constant In The EPL Title Race Is Chaos
The Premier League season is a brutally long slog through 38 games from August to May, where teams must balance ambitions on as many as four fronts, while managing health and keeping everyone happy. It’s about not breaking down as much as it is about throttling every opponent. So it’s easy to lose t...
Here, Watch Steph Curry, Michelle Obama, And Ayesha Curry Do A Dubsmash Rendition Of "Barbara Ann"
When the Warriors went to the White House last week, there were some good Obama burns, a passable Steph Curry impression, and three very famous people covering the most annoying Beach Boys song as a trio of demon chipmunks....
Wrestling Legend "J.R." Jim Ross Calls The Dunk Contest Final Round
The final round of tonight’s NBA All-Star Weekend dunk contest proved to be one of the most memorable in decades, as Aaron Gordon and Zach LaVine combined for an epic battle—and that’s not hyperbole, as each player’s dunk was met by his opponent with an equally awesome one....

Kevin Hart Accidentally Tied Draymond Green In A Three-Point Competition
Tonight’s gag three-point competition between the Warriors’ Draymond Green and actor Kevin Hart was supposed to end with Green crushing Hart, taking home a giant trophy while his non-athlete opponent went home with a participation ribbon. What nobody planned on was Hart actually beating tying Green—...

Mike Muscala Is Not A Good Rapper
TNT has added a talent show to its NBA All-Star Weekend coverage, and the Atlanta Hawks’ entry came from Mike Muscala, who demonstrated his “skills” on the mic. It was less than impressive....
Just Go Ahead And Trip That Guy
Deliberate tripping in basketball is usually something done away from the play, out of sight from referees whose focus is on something else. This is not one of those examples. Here’s Winston Salem State guard C.J. Ford, whose frustration got the best of him during today’s blowout at the hands of Fay...
Jay Bilas Jinxes Buddy Hield, Kansas Takes Down Oklahoma Again
If you’re not a superstitious person, or you don’t believe in the basketball gods, this here’s a good argument for conversion. ...
Shaq Goodwin T'd Up For Vince Carter Elbow Slam; Memphis Loses To Tulane In OT
Shaq Goodwin’s technical foul late in the first half led to three Tulane points after the Memphis forward drew referees’ ire by hanging on the rim by his elbow, 2000 Vince Carter-style. Those three points helped the Green Wave force overtime, and eventually beat the 14-11 Tigers 94-87. (Even more up...
5'10" John Jordan Unleashes A Pair Of Nasty Dunks To Win D-League Dunk Contest
John Jordan, who’s only an inch taller than Isaiah Thomas, is currently playing for the Toronto Raptors D-League affiliate. The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi alumnus took part in the D-League’s dunk contest this afternoon and brought the house down with two of the best dunks I’ve seen someone under 6'0" ...
The Sixers Realize They're A Big Joke, Are Now Maybe Trying To Fix That
The Philadelphia 76ers, those smirking pioneers of a remarkably misguided, anti-fun, actuarial, game theory-ass approach to NBA basketball, are now starting to realize that you can’t exactly build a winning basketball team while ignoring, well, the basketball. Back in December, the NBA more or less ...
The Melbourne Derby Was Wild As Hell
Early reports out of Australia have last night’s/this morning’s Melbourne Derby down as one of the greatest ever meetings between Melbourne City and Melbourne Victory, and the tape backs that up, inasmuch as it’s the only A-League I’ve ever watched, and there were some good highlights....
Sage Steele Cuts Off Arcade Fire Singer Win Butler's Attempt To Talk About Health Care
Win Butler won the MVP trophy at today’s Celebrity All-Star game in Toronto, and the Arcade Fire frontman used his post-game interview with Sage Steele to suggest that the U.S. could learn a few things from Canada this election year. Steele wasn’t having anything of it, shutting Butler down with a “...
