Westbrook And Durant Don't Seem Too Sad About Losing Reggie Jackson
The Oklahoma City Thunder didn't really have choice when it came to trading backup point guard Reggie Jackson, a talented but flawed young player who made it very clear that he'd like to be a starter elsewhere.

There's Nothing Wrong With Julius Thomas Wanting To Make Money
The Denver Broncos have a lot of free agents to deal with; tight end Julius Thomas is one of them. Thomas's ankle injury last season caused him to miss three games and be far less effective than he was in his 2013 breakout season, so his health is a concern. But now, there's a bigger (alleged) compl...

Nice Russian Man Feeds A Hungry Bear Through His Window
This Russian bear was hungry as hell and looking for some late-night eats, so he came to a kind man's window to check out the snack situation. Luckily for this bear, it is Russian tradition (it might even be a law, in fact) to keep a bowl of raw meat near every window in one's house, just in case a ...
Cool Dunks Look Even Cooler In Slow-Mo
There won't be any basketball until Thursday night (bad) because the NBA decided to give everybody a week long break (good) but without changing the start or end date of the season (dumb) so there are more back-to-backs and four-games-in-five-nights (very bad) this year....

Whip It Good: <i>Fifty Shades of Grey, </i>Reviewed
1. I've never read the book Fifty Shades of Grey, but I'm fairly certain this film is the best possible adaptation of the material. From the looks of it, the 2011 erotica sensation seems not only to lack any semblance of a story, but even the backbone of one—as if author E.L. James never really th...
