Tottenham Overcome Terrible Luck To Beat Manchester City
Tottenham fans could be forgiven for believing that their club is cursed.

Chris Sale Is Messed Up Right Now
A fun way for a runner on third to give the middle finger to a pitcher without drawing a fine or suspension is to just straight-up steal home, when the ball’s in the pitcher’s hand. “I am not afraid of you,” the thief says. “I will make an extremely dumb choice and come away unscathed, because you w...

Fuck This Instant Replay Bullshit

De'Andre Hunter Was Worth The Wait
It was, right up until it wasn’t, the sort of tournament that can crumble a draft stock. Virginia’s De’Andre Hunter, a projected lottery pick, had had a mediocre (by his standards) tournament, averaging 11.25 points per game over his previous four, and failing to score more than 14—still below his s...
Virginia's Ugly Basketball Now Has Undeniable Results
In basketball, at what point does one team’s incompetence become a credit to the other team’s ability to provoke that incompetence? What separates bad shooting from good defense?

Antonio Brown Is Kind Of A Dick

Intentionally Missing Free Throws Is Harder Than It Looks
After a clutch layup from Maryland native Chloe Jackson put Baylor up 83-81 in the NCAA Women’s Championship, Notre Dame advanced the ball past midcourt to set up an out-of-bounds play from a timeout.

Texas Tech Students Might Have Gone Overboard Celebrating

Witness The Roller Coaster Of Emotions That Auburn Fans Experienced With Their Team's Crushing Loss Against Virginia

A Fortunate Bounce Helped Virginia Beat Auburn For A Spot In The NCAA Tournament Final
The officials at last night’s Auburn-Virginia Final Four game missed a pretty big call and caused a controversial ending to a game that deserved a lot better, as college refs are wont to do.

Hornets' Jeremy Lamb Hit A Much More Reasonable Game-Winner Against The Raptors This Time
In any other situation, you, the reader, would be a fool to pick the constantly-underachieving Charlotte Hornets to beat one of the top seeds in the Eastern Conference.
