This Dion Waiters Attempted Layup Is The Saddest Thing I've Ever Seen
Dion Waiters has been better this season, I swear. He’s shooting an astronomical 48% from three on 2.5 attempts per game, and his rebounding is up too. But he’s still Dion Waiters, and so we’re still treated to moments like this:...
DeMar DeRozan Ends Rudy Gobert's Life With Ferocious Dunk
Man, this is disappointing. I really like Rudy Gobert, and was looking forward to watching him this year. Instead, just nine games into his season, Raptors wing DeMar DeRozan ended his career and life with this dunk. How rude. ...
Evan Fournier Game-Winning Three Sinks Timberwolves
Neither the Timberwolves nor the Magic have been any good in the last few years, and while they aren’t quite there yet, both are candidates to nab a low playoff seed this season.

Evgeni Malkin's Beautiful Dangle Was Exactly What The Penguins Needed
Heading into last night, the Penguins were a respectable 10-7-0, but they weren’t scoring.

Here’s the funny thing about Cam Newton, who has so far led the Carolina Panthers to a 9-0 record: his numbers aren’t even all that spectacular. They are perfectly good—2,037 yards through the air, 366 on the ground, 21 total touchdowns, nine interceptions—but they don’t have quite the same unassail...

Cycling Man Falling Into Cycling Man Is The First Of Many Falling Cycling Men
Cyclocross is a great, silly sport primarily practiced by lowland Europeans like the Belgians and the Dutch. Designed as a seasonal alternative to road cycling, it is a great excuse for fans to eat frites and hand up beers to the riders. It’s like a combination between cycling and mud wrestling, and...
