Patrick Beverley Mercilessly Owns Kid In One-On-One
This one-on-one game, which Patrick Beverley decided to dominate, is like that scene in Rushmore where Bill Murray blocks the shit out of that kid, but for five minutes straight. ...
Sadly, You're Not Allowed To Alley-Oop A Player
Keep an eye on Nos. 8 and 9 in the red. Well played, gentlemen. But you can’t legally do that. Good thing the refs didn’t know the rules....
Finally, Patrick Kane
Pushed to the edge of elimination, the Blackhawks haven’t gotten much from their best goalscorers—and the Blues have. Patrick Kane, the NHL’s regular-season points leader, hadn’t found the back of the net through the first four games. Or through three periods of last night’s game. Or in the first ov...
How The Sharks' Power Play Will Bite You From Any Angle
If you had the entire NHL to draft from, you might not be able to construct a more logical top power-play unit than the one the Sharks can ice every night. Maybe not the “best”—third best in the NHL this year, though—but there’s not another that’s so well-defined, that offers such weapons from every...
Here Are Some Good Sport Vines
I love watching sports live, but I also love to relive the magic of a great play or a brutal block over and over again. ...
Which Is Worse: St. Patrick's Day Or SantaCon?
Today is one of the two major opportunities for belligerent public day-drinking associated with a saint. Is it better or worse than the other one?...
Ryan Fitzpatrick's Free Agency is Getting Messy
You, as an educated and perceptive sports fan, know leaked reports about ongoing contract negotiations should not serve as predictors of where a player will end up or what that contract will ultimately look like. But they are good barometers of who thinks it’s a good idea to play hardball by running...

NHL Says Rape Allegations Against Patrick Kane Were "Unfounded"
Well, this is a hell of a statement. The NHL has concluded its investigation into sexual assault claims against Blackhawks star Patrick Kane made in August, and the league’s release doesn’t merely say that Kane won’t be disciplined. It goes even further than law enforcement, which declined to prosec...
It's 2016 And You Can Still Watch Steve Yzerman Score On Patrick Roy
Ciccarelli. Ysebaert. Lidstrom. Primeau. Cheveldae. Growing up in northwest Ohio and well within the night-time range of Detroit’s WJR-AM, these Detroit Red Wings players were my earliest hockey heroes. The opportunity to see some of them skate again no doubt drives the NHL’s Alumni series, which th...
Would-Be Nevada Game-Winner Thwarted By UNLV's Buzzer-Beating Three
Tonight’s MWC rivalry matchup between Nevada and UNLV went to overtime after a wild final five seconds of regulation that saw both teams hitting desperation three-pointers....
Ole Miss Left Tackle Laremy Tunsil Scores Touchdown
Ole Miss star offensive lineman Laremy Tunsil started this season on the sidelines. He’ll end it having scored a touchdown in what’s yet another blowout major bowl game, as the Rebels took a 34-6 lead into the locker room. The trick play even got our Russian announcer friends excited:...
Sputtering Florida Offense Manages Something Indescribable, Awesome
The Florida Gators were underwhelming offensively in 2015, and yet they managed to do something pretty neat today at the Citrus Bowl to tie Michigan up in the first quarter. We’re not even sure what to call this, but we like it....
Clemson Fake Punt Sets Up Go-Ahead Touchdown
Clemson punter Andy Teasdall connected with Christian Wilkins for 31 yards and a first down as Dabo Swinney used some trickery to get the Tigers inside Oklahoma’s 15-yard line. Two plays later, Deshaun Watson found the end zone to put Clemson up 10-7 in today’s first college football playoff semifin...
Alex Burrows Apologizes For Chirping Patrick O'Sullivan Over His Abusive Father
Former NHLer Patrick O’Sullivan’s story at the Players’ Tribune, about suffering horrific physical and mental abuse at the hands of his father, is one of the rougher sports reads in recent memory, and an invaluable one for anyone who’s ever wondered what they should do if they witness what looks lik...
Texas Tech Beats Texas On Trick Play Touchdown
For the first time since 1997, Texas Tech beat Texas in Austin last night in a 48-45 thriller. The Red Raiders sealed the deal with this rather clever bit of misdirection and running by Jakeem Grant, who has a history of spectacular runs. Coach Kliff Kingsbury said last night that the play is called...
The Grisly, Goofy <i>Starship Troopers </i>Played Dumb To Make Hollywood Look Even Dumber
The moment when you discover what Starship Troopers is really about is one of the great eureka moments in the life of any young movie dork. I’ve got vivid memories of staggering out of a suburban multiplex in 1997 and sputtering, “What the fuck was that?” To my teenage self, it was basically Saved b...
Patrick Beverley Had A Rough Morning Yesterday Over Some Unpaid Toll Fees
As Pearland, Tex. police prepared to handcuff Rockets guard Patrick Beverley during a traffic stop Wednesday, he asked if they could sort out the issue away from the dashcam. “I’m not about to have people put me on social media,” he said....
This Trick Play Was A Terrible Idea And It Worked Perfectly
Who’s ready for some hot DIII action?! Not Carleton College, which fell for the ol’ fake-extra-point-fake-toss-no-look-behind-the-back-pass-two-point-conversion by St. Thomas. The oldest trick in the book....
