Chelsea Are Getting A Ride On The Paul Pogba Experience
Manchester United haven’t had much of the ball through the first half of today’s FA Cup match against Chelsea, and when they have gotten possession they haven’t managed to produce very many crisp passages of play. They lead 2-0 at half time, though, because they have Paul Pogba....

This Little Kid's Spinning Backheel Volley Goal Is Cooler Than Anything You've Ever Done In Your Life

Here Is A Necessary NBA All-Star Game Highlight
If you didn’t watch the NBA all-star game, I don’t think you missed much (I can’t say for sure if you missed anything good, because I also did not watch the game. The internet at my apartment has been broken for two weeks!), but there is one cool play from the game that you should see....

Sergio Ramos Became The Most Sent-Off Player In La Liga History After (Almost) Kicking A Guy In The Face
Sergio Ramos might have earned himself a week off with his latest act of shithousery.

Alcalá tried to use his head to m...

Boston's Tuukka Rask Adds Another Incredible Stacked-Pads Save To His Resumé<em></em>
Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask was put in a bad spot on Saturday.

The Hawkeyes h...

The NBA Rising Stars Challenge Featured A Strong Collection Of Apathetic Highlight Attempts
The 2019 NBA Rising Stars Challenge on Friday saw Team USA defeat Team World 161-144 in a game was about as half-assed defensively as one would expect with that scoreline.

Terrence Ross Committed A Dunk Murder On Willy Hernangomez
If there’s ever a time to go for a ridiculous dunk in traffic, a 30-point blowout is it. Even if you miss, most people have either changed the channel or are content watching the basketball equivalent of an NPR talk show: background noise that don’t mean much of anything. But last night the Magic’s ...

The Knicks Do The Unthinkable And Win A Basketball Game
For just the second time since the calendar flipped over to 2019, the Knicks have won a regular season NBA basketball game, topping the lowly Hawks—and in Atlanta, no less—by the score of 106–91.

Players Like Sergio Ramos Are Why You Can Never Count Out Real Madrid

Josh Okogie Locking James Harden In A Closet Makes For A Satisfying Highlight
The Timberwolves beat the Rockets at home on Wednesday night, 121-111, and even though James Harden led all scorers as usual with 42 points on a nauseating 34 field goal attempts, he was far from unstoppable, as proven by T-Wolves rookie Josh Okogie on a pair of dramatic occasions within a couple mi...

Someone Finally Posterized Jarrett Allen, And It Was Marquese Chriss
Tonight is apparently a good night for bouncy young dudes on horrendous Eastern Conference cellar-dwellers to rise up and violently jam on someone whose season hasn’t already ended. First we had Kevin Knox posterizing the hell out of Ben Simmons, and now we’ve got Marquese Chriss of the Cavaliers th...

Kevin Knox's Dunk On Ben Simmons Left DeAndre Jordan Stupefied<em></em>
The Knicks as a franchise have completely packed it in for the rest of the season, but the electrifying rookie Kevin Knox has yet to get the tanking memo.

Big Boban Flicked One Over Small Al

Mario Hezonja Interrupts Dreary Tank-Off To Murder Poor Marquese Chriss
Do not watch tonight’s Knicks-Cavaliers game. The Knicks have lost 16 straight and a disgusting 24 of their last 25 games; the Cavs have lost 22 of their last 25 and have the worst net rating in the NBA. Neither organization exactly wants to win this game, and given the quality of the basketball pro...
