Watch Maurice Evans Run Away From The Chance To Be On The Jeremy Lin Poster
Yes, Knicks insta-sensation Jeremy Lin shook John Wall with a nasty crossover last night, on his way to a highlight dunk against the Wizards.

Bill Simmons's Very First Visit To ESPN
We've been dipping into the Bill Simmons archive, a salvaged cache of the Sports Guy's old columns from AOL Digital Cities, none of which survives online. Today's jaunt down memory lane is a field trip Simmons took to Bristol in 1997, under the auspices of his friend Gus Ramsey, a SportsCenter produ...
Rodney Harrison Is An Idiot. Let Rob Gronkowski Dance!
You may have seen this video of Pats tight end Rob Gronkowski and tackle Matt Light, fresh off of losing the Super Bowl, doing what I would be probably be doing if I just lost the biggest game of my life: getting shitfaced, dancing shirtless, and trying to get laid. But of course, Rodney Harrison do...
I Hung Out With Dukebags And Discovered The Greatest Value In The History Of Drunken Eating
I went down to the Research Triangle area of North Carolina last week. This is the area comprising Durham, Chapel Hill, and Raleigh. It's a very pretty area, surrounded by tall trees that are so perfectly spaced out it's almost as if the entire forest were landscaped. And the forest floor itself is ...
Professional Athlete Used Recreational Drug
Via the Boston Globe: "Dennis 'Oil Can' Boyd's new tell-all book, 'They Call Me Oil Can: My Life in Baseball,' which hits bookstores in June, should be a blockbuster if the stories are similar to what the former Red Sox pitcher told WBZ's Jon Miller yesterday at JetBlue Park. Boyd, who spent eight o...

Houston Dynamo players Tyler Deric and Warren Creavalle were arrested this weekend after a dust-up with an off-duty cop working security at a bar.

Tim Thomas Announces On Facebook That He "Stands With The Catholics In The Fight For Religious Freedom"
OK, so last time Bruins goalie Tim Thomas spoke up on Facebook he received plenty of scorn. (He justified skipping a White House visit by describing, on Facebook, his vague but spirited objection to things the federal government had done.) Will Tim Thomas back down? No, Tim Thomas will never back do...
The Tongan Olympic Luger Who Turned Out To Be An Underwear Marketing Scam
Imagine if the events surrounding 1988 Jamaican bobsled team that inspired the film Cool Runnings happened today, in the age of the internet and 24-hour sports coverage.

Nationals "Take Back The Park" From Phillies Fans, Give It Right Back To Them
Every time the Phillies visit Nationals Park, it feels like a home game for them. The stands are filled with fans who made the two-hour drive south to cheer for the Phillies, and it’s disheartening for Nats fans to be outnumbered in their own stadium. The same thing happens when the Yankees visit Ba...
This Looks Like A Fortified Sniper's Nest At The Super Bowl
Some photos with no backstory are making the rounds, showing what appears to be an Indianapolis police sniper checking out his post in the rafters of Lucas Oil Stadium in the hours or days before the Super Bowl, a post that would be manned when the game began. Yes, we know there's nothing surprisin...

This Is Why JaVale McGee Is The Best Thing In The NBA
This is from last night's Raptors-Wizards game. Please keep an eye on JaVale McGee. He's the fellow who first goes backward between the legs (impressive), then throws up the ball within an area code of the hoop (less impressive), then goes tearing down the court while the Wiz still have possession...
