Report: Pacers Had Fistfight Before Game 1
Adrian Wojnarowski goes out of his way to downplay a practice fight between Lance Stephenson and Evan Turner as something normal for the close quarters of an NBA team, but that's not going to stop observers from pointing to it as one symptom—or possible cause—of the Pacers' precipitous decline....
Get It Together, Avril Lavigne
This is a tough one. Below, please find "Hello Kitty," the new video from Canadian pop superstar Avril Lavigne, who will turn 30 this year, a fact not abundantly in evidence given the ear-abasing nature of the track (Skrillex' Inferno, basically) and the society-abasing depiction of modern Japan as ...
Matt Harvey Tweets Bird-Flipping Picture, Immediately Deletes Account
Mets pitcher Matt Harvey tweeted out this picture today as a way to mark the six-month anniversary of his Tommy John surgery.

It's official! Sad David Moyes has been fired by sad Manchester United, just one year into a six-year contract. While Moyes had avoided the ax a couple times this season, the sacking isn't at all surprising given a nightmarish campaign that has resulted in United's worst ever Premier League season a...
Tony Allen Is The Defensive Stopper You Can Root For
There's a certain stigma that often hounds players who are labeled as defensive stoppers in the NBA, a belief that no small part of their success is derived from the fact that they are simply willing to play like assholes.

Ref Pucked
Ref Steve Kozari was fine after taking a deflected puck to the chest in last night's Pitt-CBJ game, so its OK to laugh. Laugh at the way his body goes stiff, and at the camera flash going off a split second after impact, as if he was struck down by lightning. Head up, stripes....
