Where Do The Islanders Belong?
The New York Islanders have had one of the odder trajectories of any pro sports franchise. Winners of four straight Stanley Cups within 11 years of arriving on Long Island as the NHL’s protection against WHA incursion into the New York area, the Isles never approached those heights again, winning on...
Robin Lopez Temporarily Broke Andre Drummond's Brain With Some Slippery Work In The Post
The Detroit Pistons beat the Chicago Bulls 112-104 on Friday but required a 21-point second-half comeback—their largest of the season so far—in order to get things done on the road. The win seemed far from certain earlier in the game when the Bulls caught their opponents napping in the first half an...
Of Course The Founder Of Orchids Of Asia Watched The Super Bowl With Donald Trump
From the Miami Herald comes yet another very convincing piece of evidence that we are all existing in the dumbest possible timeline. Li Yang, the 45-year-old woman who founded the massage parlor where Patriots owner Robert Kraft is alleged to have solicited prostitution, watched this year’s Super B...
Garrett Wilson Got DDT-ed Into The Ice And Picked Up A Nasty Gash
The surging Penguins beat the stumbling Blue Jackets 3-0 on Thursday, but it was not a bloodless victory. Little-used Pittsburgh winger Garrett Wilson—who’s scored one goal in 35 games this year—had a classic fourth-liner night all-around, injuring himself in a couple different ways despite only 4:4...
Case Keenum Banished To Life As A Washington Quarterback
The precipitous fall of Case Keenum’s career arc continued on Thursday, with Ian Rapoport reporting that the 31-year-old is being shipped off to Washington, along with a seventh-round pick, in exchange for a sixth-round pick. Keenum’s departure means that the Joe Flacco era in Denver can officially ...
The Pistons Are Really Trying To Make Me Fall For This Again
Remember when the Detroit Pistons waived Josh Smith in December of 2014, suddenly rattled off seven straight wins, and went 12-3 over the next 15 games? Then they finished the season in 12th place in the East....
Coy Signals About NFL Trade Rumors Don't Serve Anyone
If you are an NFL fan who has spent any amount of time looking at Twitter over the last few days, you have surely been exposed to some amount of chatter about vague rumors concerning something that the Cleveland Browns are about to do. There was probably an emoji involved. Things really heated up, t...
The Blue Jackets Going All-In Isn't Crazy <i>Or</i> Stupid
It’s not at all rare for a contending NHL team to say “Fuck it” and go all-in at the trade deadline. God knows the window of opportunity to win a Cup is small and it makes sense, rather than overvaluing the potential of prospects and draft picks, to acquire the One Final PieceTM that will put you ov...

Maybe Brad Stevens Isn't Quite Up To <i>This</i>
“We’re just not together. Plain and simple.” That’s Boston’s Marcus Smart, in the aftermath of the 118-95 ass-whomping his Celtics received at the hands of Pascal Siakam and the Toronto Raptors last night. By my informal count, this is something like the 917th time in this disappointing Boston seaso...

Donald Trump Inflated His Net Worth By $4 Billion When He Tried To Buy The Buffalo Bills
Not much going on today, other than the president’s former lawyer and fixer testifying before Congress that the president is a “racist,” a “conman,” and a “cheat.” Good thing for this humble sports website that the testimony has a sports angle!...

Just as everyone was gawking at a horny Robert Kraft, the sports world blessed us with even bigger news: The last-place Ottawa Senators have traded center Matt Duchene to the Columbus Blue Jackets, in exchange for highly regarded prospect Vitaly Abramov, promising Swede Jonathan Davidsson, and some ...
Not Even A Baseball Strike Could Stop Cleveland From Hosting The All-Star Game. Sort Of.
When Cleveland was awarded the 1981 MLB All-Star Game, it was a city in dire need of a boost....
John Tortorella Insists That Artemi Panarin's Only Out Tonight Because He's Shitting And Puking
Even though the Blue Jackets are holding on to third place in a pretty messy Metropolitan Division, the scuttlebutt around the league is that they’ll be sellers, not buyers at the trade deadline. Artemi Panarin is an unrestricted free agent after this season, and it seems clear that he’s not going ...
Let’s Spend Way Too Much Time Scrutinizing The Body Language Of Kyrie Irving And Jayson Tatum In This Rising Stars Clip
As much as the NBA’s Rising Stars Challenge is not an actual game—it’s more of a glorified, mediocre dunk contest with all of the injury risk and none of the payoff—the league insists on maintaining some semblance of the itinerary that actual NBA games have before, during and after the exhibition. S...
Sergio Ramos May Have Earned Himself A Suspension With His Big, Dumb Mouth
When you’re part of a top European soccer club, it’s probably easy to forget that the rules, at least in theory, apply to you as well. Whether that’s Manchester City wiping their collective asses with the Financial Fair Play regulations, or Barcelona players gleefully indulging in tapping up (the eq...
