Let’s discuss a slippery topic....
Masked Kyrie Irving Will Return To Wreak Destruction On The NBA
Get ready, NBA, for the return of Masked Kyrie Irving. No, I’m not referring to Uncle Drew, here. The errant Aron Baynes elbow that smashed into Irving’s face Friday and ended his night reportedly caused a facial fracture, and you know what that means:...
The Minnesota Timberwolves Are Up To Their Same Old Bullshit
The Minnesota Timberwolves are 7-5, and 4-1 at home, and 11th in the NBA in offense, with a pair of wins over the hot-shot Oklahoma City Thunder already on their résumé. That’s good! On the other hand they don’t seem, today, like a team that’s having a very good time, fresh off a loss to the Phoenix...
The Celtics Are Better Than They Have Any Damn Right To Be
Apparently the Celtics don’t even need players. Just Brad Stevens standing on the sideline, pointing his brain waves at the ball for 48 minutes. Last night they lost Kyrie Irving after teammate Aron Baynes elbowed him across the nose, fell behind by as many as 18 points, and came all the way back to...

Last night, the Austin city council voted to look into the vi...
The Warlords Who Rule Chechnya And Bahrain's Repressive Regime Are Bonding Over MMA
This past April 5, Ramzan Kadyrov, the longtime head of the Chechen Republic, arrived in Bahrain for an official state visit with the kingdom’s royal family. Flanked by a delegation from the Chechen government—intimidating henchmen with atrocious résumés of human rights abuses among them—Kadryov bro...

Teen Girl Posed For 8 Years As Married Man To Write About Baseball And Harass Women

Robert Kraft Among Sports Team Owners Who Appear In The Paradise Papers

One Year After The Election, We Still Wanna Die
Yesterday marked the anniversary of Donald Trump’s election victory and despite the encouraging gains made by Democrats the other night in down-ballot races, particularly in Virginia, filthy liberals like me are still, uh, not exactly soothed to have a ignorant bag of Velveeta in charge of things. I...

The Bulls Clearly Like Bobby Portis More Than The Guy Whose Face He Broke
Bobby Portis returned this week from an eight-game suspension for concussing and breaking two bones in Nikola Mirotic’s face with a punch in a practice fight, and Portis was unexpectedly great: 21 points and 13 rebounds in 24 minutes coming off the bench. But it doesn’t take a very close between-th...
Kyrie Irving Dribbled The Lakers To Death
The young Los Angeles Lakers stayed surprisingly competitive with the Celtics through most of tonight’s game at the Garden, but Boston won out, 107-96, thanks in large part to Kyrie Irving. He wasn’t the team’s leader in any major statistical category, and he was an off-putting 0-for-7 from three, b...

ESPN’s Josina Anderson is reporting some damning, if unsurprising, quotes coming from a couple of unnamed players in the 1-7 New York Giants locker room.
