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.

Cody Zeller, You Have To Retire Now, Those Are The Rules
Watching Kristaps Porzingis do anything is a delight. We could talk about his outrageous shooting, where he’s added volume but only increased in efficiency. We could talk about how players only shoot 35 percent at the rim when he’s lurking there. Or we could just watch this:...

Two games into the season, the Saints’ defense performed down to expectations: New Orleans yielded 777 passing yards and 32.5 points per game in a pair of double-digit losses.

Browns: Don't Worry, Our Trade Fuck-Up Wasn't A Strategic Move, It Was Just A Fuck-Up
It requires a pretty deep trust in the Browns’ incompetence to believe that their attempt to trade with the Bengals for A.J. McCarron was really undone by their own inability to file simple paperwork in a timely manner. Trust in the Cleveland Browns’ incompetence is pretty well-placed trust, sure, b...
