Duke's Meaningless Last Second Free Throw Cost Vegas Millions
Last night's Duke-Utah game seemingly ended in a 62-57 win for Duke. With eight seconds remaining Utah's Jordan Loveridge missed a three-pointer, and the Utah players only half-heartedly tried to foul or tie up the rebounder, Duke's Quinn Cook. But with 0.7 seconds left a referee blew for a foul a...
When Did Gordon Hayward Turn Into A Doe-Eyed Channing Tatum?
I will admit I don't watch the Utah Jazz, but I watched Gordon Hayward at Butler, when the small Indiana school had their tournament runs in March Madness. In my mind, Hayward still looked like the baby-faced Indiana stringbean he was in college. Wrong. Gordon Hayward's gorgeous now....
The Thunder, Pistons, And Jazz Made A Good Trade
The Oklahoma City Thunder are glad they got rid of Reggie Jackson. Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook are glad; the coach and front office are glad; the fans are glad. By all accounts, by the time they finally traded him yesterday, in a three-way deal that landed him in Detroit, the discontented b...

Receiver's Blunder Turns 78 Yard TD Catch Into 100 Yard Fumble Return
Kaelin Clay should have had a 79-yard touchdown catch to put Utah up 14-0 on Oregon. Instead, the Ducks tied the game when Clay dropped the ball short of the goal line and Oregon's Joe Walker picked it up to go the entire length of the field in the opposite direction....

Things aren't getting any better for LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Alec Burks Crosses Over Kobe Bryant, Likely Earns Kobe's Eternal Ire
Jazz guard Alec Burks achieved a neat little highlight for himself when he crossed over Kobe Bryant, and drove for the layup with the foul. At least Kobe's embarassing blooper in the twilight of his career was a little more graceful than Paul Pierce's....
BYU Loses Quarterback Taysom Hill, Falls Apart Against Utah State
You normally wouldn't stay up late on a Friday night for Brigham Young football, but if you were ever going to, it would have been this season to watch quarterback Taysom Hill.

Do NBA Teams With Whiter Fan Bases Have Whiter Rosters?
In the NBA of yesterday, an owner could be explicit about structuring his roster around the race of the players. "No team should be all white and no team should be all black, either," Cavs owner and legendary boob Ted Stepien told a reporter in 1980. And why not? "Blacks don't buy many tickets," he ...

The Return Of Marvin Williams Was More Important Than We Thought
Remember Kobe's weird video announcing his comeback with his Lakers jersey writhing around set to epic music? (And how it went on for far too long?) A clever Utah Jazz fan created a similar production for Wednesday's return of future Hall of Famer Marvin Williams, who came back from a four-game abse...
