Grant Hill Watching His Life Flash Before His Eyes, In Extreme Slow Motion

Late Michigan Surge Ends Loyola-Chicago's Heroic Cinderella Run
For a good 30-plus minutes Saturday night it looked like the unlikely tournament run of 11th-seed Loyola-Chicago would live on. The Ramblers had a seven-point lead at halftime; that lead would grow to 10 points early in the second half, and stood as high as eight points at the 11:25 mark. From that ...

Matt Adams's Tater-Mashing Power Is In Mid-Season Form
Matt Adams joined the Nationals this offseason after arguably his best season as a hitter in 2017, when he produced a career-high .841 OPS and 20 dingers in 131 games split between the Cardinals and Braves. With Ryan Zimmerman’s availability never all that secure and kick-ass bench masher Adam Lind ...

Teaira McCowan Is The Most Undeniable Player In Women's College Basketball<em></em>
COLUMBUS, OH — When Teaira McCowan grabbed her 23rd rebound of Mississippi State’s semifinal win over Louisville on Friday night, she just kept coming down with it—all the way to the floor. That’s a long way down for McCowan, who stands a muscular 6'7", but she wasn’t going to let this rebound get a...
"Dead Arm" Has Temporarily Turned Josh Donaldson Into A Noodle-Armed Designated Hitter
I would like for you to bear in mind that what you are about to see is a defensive highlight—it shows Josh Donaldson, Toronto’s third baseman, making a nice diving stab to his left, then rising to make a throw across the diamond. It’s the throw you’ll want to watch, in particular—it jumps out at you...
John Sterling Is Very Happy That His Goofy Call Blighted Giancarlo Stanton's Dinger
John Sterling’s call for Giancarlo Stanton’s first dinger as a Yankee was goofy and dumb. The call—Giancarlo, non si può stoparlo—was in Italian, which is random as hell, considering that Stanton is not Italian, and neither is Sterling, and we do not live in Italy, and Sterling was not broadcasting ...
Let Us Gawk Together At This Gorgeous Game-Tying Driving Bucket From Nuggets-Thunder
The playoff hopes of the Denver Nuggets are probably cooked. They’re two back of the Pelicans with just six games left to play, and they’d dropped four of six coming into Friday night’s game in Oklahoma City. Realistically, losing that incredible stinker in Memphis on March 17 was probably the point...
The Sports Highlight Of The Day Is This Tenacious Duckling's Eventual Triumph
When he almost makes it at the 33-second mark only to fall back again? That’s pure pathos. But please do not patronize this duckling with your pity unless you, too, are capable of a vertical leap more than twice your height. ...
Mark Rypien On His Mental Health Struggles: "I've Been Down Dark Places"
In an interview with a Spokane, Wa.-based TV station, former Washington quarterback and Super Bowl MVP Mark Rypien spoke openly about his struggles with mental health, acknowledging that he had “been down dark places.” Rypien says that he has struggled with depression, and he believes that the damag...
Russell Westbrook Wants You To Answer For His Three-Point Crimes<em></em>
Russell Westbrook’s remarkable final shot in the Thunder’s 103-99 loss to the Spurs last night was a doozy. His four three-point attempts from that game are best appreciated in sequence. Together they chart a descent into Westbrook’s wonderful, dark heart....
Asia Durr, Teaira<em></em> McCowan, And A Few Other Reasons UConn Might Not Win It All
I get it, I do: You’re a fan of basketball, and this weekend has given you not one but two Final Fours watch. A choice appears. In one corner, an 11-seed underdog that might just do the dang thing and three high seeds that survived historically weird brackets; in the other, four No. 1 seeds, led by ...
This Is The Video You Show A Child To Teach Them How To Slide, If You Hate That Child
The Tigers are up 2-0 on the Pirates in the early going of opening day for both teams, and Detroit got their rally going with a Mikie Mahtook leadoff double in the second. Mahtook’s slide was a thing of beauty, in a way. Ugly, awkward beauty. How do you even put that many parts of your body in conta...
Geno Auriemma Bravely Defies Silly NCAA Rule By Drinking Out Of Water Bottle
Of the many stupid NCAA rules and regulations that people tend to notice in March, the insistence that public-facing people—coaches, players, even folks in the media room—drink only from NCAA-branded cups ranks pretty far up there. During yesterday’s Final Four press conference, UConn coach Geno Aur...

The Lightning and Bruins are currently previewing tonight what could be a very good playoff series next month, and going by this game, tempers will be hot if these teams meet again....
What The Hell Is John Sterling's Home Run Call For Giancarlo Stanton?
A few days ago, the New York Times talked to Yankees broadcaster John Sterling about the home run call that he’d decided to use for Giancarlo Stanton this season: ...
The Astros Tried Out Their Four-Man Outfield In A Meaningful Game
Baseball has a lot of structure to it, so when a relatively mundane in-game move happens, like a third baseman backing up deep onto left field grass for an at-bat, it has a deeper psychological impact that it should. Today, Astros manager A.J. Hinch caught everyone’s attention and did a cool, smart ...
