Goddamn, Grayson Allen
The ever-annoying Grayson Allen gave UNLV a new reason to be annoyed with him in the first half of Saturday’s game, with an absolutely ridiculous one-handed dunk that sent him flying....

Manchester United Might Play On A Pitch That's More Ice Than Grass
Soccer is an all-season sport that is often played on snowy pitches in the dead of winter. It is not, however, traditionally played on a frozen tundra that, when you step on it, makes sounds like you’re walking on a frozen pond. And yet that may be the case for Manchester United’s away trip to Ukrai...

Luke Kennard Is Playing Like A Star, And Duke Is Suddenly Terrifying
Luke Kennard was never supposed to be the star of this year’s Duke team, but the sophomore shooting guard had another monster game against Florida last night, and, well, here we are. All you “Dook” haters might be fucked....

Kind And Gentle Aussie Goalkeeper Rescues Seagull That Took A Ball To The Face
Born to a sun-scorched land whose cruelly blistering climes have weeded out all but the most terrifying and murderous critters (and, somehow, koalas), it makes sense that Australians would be better equipped than most to interact with the rare friendly creature that crosses their paths with respect,...

Giannis Antetokounmpo Went Off And Destroyed The Cavaliers
For about a quarter, tonight’s Cavs-Bucks game went about how you’d expect. LeBron James and his pals were tossing audacious passes to each other, slamming the everloving Christ out of the basketball, and helping the Cavs to an easy ten-point lead in the first ten minutes of the game. Instead of rol...

Maybe Not The Best Time To Dap Up Your Friend, J.R. Smith
Jason Terry is a nice guy and a great shooter. Who isn’t amused by his insane sock habits and propensity for bold tattoos? I’d love to chat with him. But the worst possible time for that chat would be right in the middle of a professional basketball game in which I was responsible for playing defens...

Thanksgiving is three days away, so it’s probably (past) time to talk some college hoops. In the spirit of our NBA preview, here is our very timely and holistic 2016-17 NCAA basketball preview....

Luke Kuechly's Tears Hit Hard
Why is it so unsettling that Luke Kuechly cried? This is a sport where players suffer brain injuries every single game, yet Kuechly’s apparent concussion and subsequent reaction as he was carted off the field has completely overshadowed the Panthers’ win, in a way that doesn’t happen when someone is...

Luke Kuechly Weeps His Way Off The Field After Scary Injury
Panthers star linebacker Luke Kuechly took a nasty head injury in the fourth quarter of tonight’s close game against the Saints. Kuechly had to be carted off and he did not hide his emotions as he was leaving the field. It wasn’t immediately apparent what part of his body exactly Kuechly hurt, but t...

Frank Mason Buries Duke With Game-Winning Dagger
Rejoice, for top-ranked Duke has been upset. The Blue Devils and the Kansas Jayhawks played a tremendously entertaining game tonight in Madison Square Garden, that ended with Frank Mason tossing in a game-winning jumper with seconds left....

Report: Three NBA Teams Have Stopped Staying At Trump Hotels
The Memphis Grizzlies, Milwaukee Bucks, and Dallas Mavericks have all stopped staying at Donald Trump-owned hotels this season, according to a report from ESPN. The three teams stay at Trump properties in either New York or Chicago, but have since sought accommodations not owned by the repugnant pre...

Shitty ACC Coastal Teams Keep Giving Louisville The Business
Lamar Jackson is still a deity when it comes to college football, but every god is eventually questioned....

That Time Kobe Bryant Destroyed A Hungover Luke Walton
Incoming Lakers head coach Luke Walton was a rookie in L.A. once upon a time, and he joined up right at the tail end of the first era of dominant Kobe Bryant teams. Yesterday, he told a story about Kobe’s intensity back in those days to Jesse Williams on his “Open Run” podcast yesterday. He showed u...

That's Not Even Close To How You Pronounce Giannis Antetokounmpo's Name
Look, “Antetokounmpo” has a lot of letters in it. A-N-T-E-T-O-K-O-U-N-M-P-O. Not the easiest name to pronounce! That, however, is nowhere close to whatever Stacey King said here....

The Browns Lost A Phantom Fumble
The frustrating thing about these Browns is that they’re almost not bad. Now 0-4 after Sunday’s 31-21 loss to Washington, they didn’t become the NFL’s only remaining winless team the usual way, by being that much worse than everyone else. No, this team has required truly creative ways to lose, like ...

Giannis Antetokounmpo Is Not So Great At Jokes
Giannis Antetokounmpo is a 21-year-old who just signed a $100 million contract, so you can imagine why he might have been feeling a little giddy heading into NBA media day. He was feeling so good, in fact, that he began his session with reporters by firing off a joke that would have made even the la...
