Someone Please Tell Me How The Hell Stephen Piscotty Made This Catch
Oakland A’s left fielder Stephen Piscotty was briefly in a bad situation on Saturday.

In a futile attempt to prevent...

Brian Flores Says He Played Jay-Z Songs To "Challenge" Kenny Stills, Supports His Protest
One day after Dolphins receiver Kenny Stills called out the NFL’s superficial-seeming social-justice partnership with Jay-Z and Roc Nation, head coach Brian Flores loaded up the practice playlist with a bunch of Shawn Carter’s songs.

Dolphins Receiver Kenny Stills Calls Out Team Owner For Hosting Trump Fundraiser [Updates]
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is an old rich white guy, which means he is also a fan of Donald Trump, or at least he is the kind of person who appreciates Trump’s policies enough to throw the man a fancy fundraiser in the Hamptons. One person who does not appreciate Donald Trump, nor his boss co...

Carmelo Anthony Says He Doesn't Understand Why The Rockets Didn't Want Him Anymore
I can’t decide what’s weirder: the realization that Carmelo Anthony’s NBA career is likely all the way over, or remembering that Carmelo Anthony played in an NBA game as recently as this past season. He bombed out of the rotation in Houston after 10 games, was dumped in a trade with Chicago, and the...

God Man, Fuck You Bret Stephens
In case you were busy actually enjoying your weekend, Jordan Peterson celebrity cruise attendant Bret Stephens went ahead and ruined everyone else’s by scribbling out a bunch of racist bumper sticker slogans in the New York Times. And this time, ol’ Bret did so without the veneer of preciousness tha...

Solo Steph Curry Is The Best Steph Curry
A thing that I will never stop inserting into conversations for the rest of my life is that I got to watch Steph Curry play (twice) while at Davidson—both of the Wildcats’ games at the Detroit Lions’ stadium when they made the Elite Eight during Curry’s sophomore season. Steph had 33 of his team’s 7...

Raptors Snatch Back Home-Court Advantage With Game 3 Beatdown Of Gutted Warriors
There may be no satisfying takeaway from Toronto’s Game 3 123–109 victory over the Warriors in Oakland, beyond the completely obvious reminder that however great Steph Curry is, he cannot beat an NBA Finals team completely by himself. Steve Kerr held Klay Thompson out of the action, and so the Warri...

What The Hell Are These Questions From The French Open Pressers?

The world was very nearly spared a couple week’s worth of energetic Drake sightings Thursday night, when Andre Iguodala of the Golden State Warriors went careening into the sidelines late in the first half of Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

Tireless Steph Curry Helpfully Illustrates Seth Curry's Point
Seth Curry was careful to say the Warriors are “definitely not a better team” without Kevin Durant in their lineup—which, duh—but it is the younger Curry’s opinion that the Warriors do move the ball and themselves more, and more quickly, when they don’t have Durant around. Durant makes the Warriors ...

Trail Blazers Solve Many Of Game 1's Problems, Still Narrowly Fall To The Warriors
The Portland Trail Blazers made a real contest out of Game 2 of their Western Conference Finals series against the Golden State Warriors.
