The Best Thing About These Finals: There Are No Goats
When Game 1 of the NBA finals ended, we expressed a hope that this series would last forever. What we've ended up with is the next best thing: seven games, with last night's overtime, instant-classic, scare-the-cat-and-wake-up-the-neighbors thriller setting up a finale on Thursday that will be the c...

Miami's Big Three Bests San Antonio's Big One-And-Three-Quarters
For much of the playoffs the question had been whether LeBron James could just get some help from his teammates. By the time Game 3 of the Finals rolled around, it began to look like LeBron was fading. But in Game 4, LeBron, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh finally put a game together in the playoffs to l...

No One Notices The Spurs Because No One Notices San Antonio
Here's a working barstool-grade theory as to why, during its dynastic run to four (perhaps soon five) titles since 1999, America still embraces the San Antonio Spurs with a yawn and a why are you still here? squint. This phenomenon has flustered if not baffled sports cognoscenti for years. But they ...
Tony Parker Is A Pretty Good Coach, Too
Tony Parker did more than sink the most important shot of Game 1 last night, he also showed off his coaching chops. ...
Tony Parker Lifted The Spurs Over The Heat With This Shot
The San Antonio Spurs just upset the Miami Heat in game one of the NBA Finals, 92-88. There's a lot to cover, but for now, let's just watch this over and over and over again....
Tony Randazzo Ejected Mike Aviles From A Game That Was Already Over
When we profiled umpire Tony Randazzo last year, we noted he had an "aggressive attitude." That aggression was on display tonight in New York, as the ump blew a call with two outs in the ninth inning, tossed Mike Aviles from the game after it was already over, then taunted Indians skipper Terry Fra...
Indy 500 Winner Tony Kanaan To Reporter: "I'm Gonna Get Hammered"
If race car drivers are good for one thing, it's giving memorable post-race interviews. This one, from Indy 500 winner Tony Kanaan, doesn't share the meandering goofiness of Brad Keselowksi's half-drunk dissertation on believing in oneself, but the two are united in spirit. The spirit of getting ha...
Same Faces, Same Result: The Spurs Are Back In The Finals
The Spurs get the "boring" label because basketball is supposed to be hard. As San Antonio heads to its fifth finals since 1999, its fourth with its multinational power trio intact, you wonder if they've made some cosmic bargain, or discovered a real-life cheat code, because the alternative—that the...
Jalen Rose Says Tony Allen's Flop Was Worthy Of A Pulitzer Prize
When Manu Ginobili hit Tony Allen with a flagrant foul late in last night's Grizzlies-Spurs game, Allen engaged in a truly fantastic bit of theater by pretending that Ginobili's foul had caused him to slam his head against the floor. It was a flop for the ages (which doesn't change the fact that th...
Aroldis Chapman May Have Been Done In By Delicious Pastries Yesterday
Aroldis Chapman, the Cincinnati Reds' usually invincible closer, blew a save yesterday when he surrendered two ninth-inning home runs to the Philadelphia Phillies. Although it's unusual to see Chapman get touched up like that, even the best closers have off days. No reason to get all worked up, righ...
The Spurs May Finally Be Too Old For This Shit
It's hard to imagine the Spurs getting old. Maybe it's because they've already spent so many years as the elder statesmen of the Western Conference that we just expect them to keep doing what they do forever—consistently outplaying and outsmarting younger teams while staring down the perils of age b...
That Warriors-Spurs Game Was Bonkers
Manu Ginobili hit the game-winning shot with 1.2 seconds left in double-overtime to put a bow on an absolutely incredible game. With less than four minutes left in regulation Klay Thompson fouled out with the Warriors up 104-88. Chris Webber said something along the lines of "luckily, they don't ne...

The Chiefs' Tony Moeaki Wants You To Do Some NFL Draft Trolling

Tony Gwynn Jr. Shows Us How Hecklers Should Be Dealt With
This video has been on YouTube for almost two years, but we've only just discovered it. And we are very glad that we did, because this may be the best way we've ever seen a baseball player handle a heckler. ...
