The Los Angeles Clippers Missed Five Three-Pointers In One Minute Last Night
The L.A. Clippers lost their fourth straight last night, dropping a home bout with New Orleans 105-98 thanks to Blake Griffin's miserable performance (he fouled out, having gone 1-9 from the field) and despite Caron Butler going berserk in the second half (he ended up hitting nine three-pointers o...
Slick Rick's Embarrassing Performance At The Nets Game Last Night Was Worse Than You Think
We told you about Slick Rick getting booed at halftime of the Knicks-Nets game, and about Frank Isola of the New York Daily News getting all kinds of grief on Twitter for wondering whether Slick Rick was indeed a hip-hop legend. Slick's got nothing to prove to anyone anymore, but after hearing thi...
JaVale McGee Converts An Alley-Oop While Getting Fouled And Never Actually Touching The Rim
What, you think JaVale McGee is going to just throw down a normal, ho-hum alley-oop? Don't be silly. Only our man JaVale could rise above the rim, get his arm hooked while trying to slam the ball home, and then still somehow get the ball to go through the hoop without ever actually getting his han...
Jamaal Charles Waited Around for Peyton Manning's Autograph After Losing To Peyton Manning
According to Neal Jones of KCTV-5, Dwayne Bowe also got in on the action and posed for some pictures with Manning following Kansas City's 17-9 loss to the Broncos. And he actually made some sense. When cameras caught the two Chiefs stars milling around for Manning, it was a goofy bit of video—which...

T.J. Simers Believes UCLA Threw The Stanford Game, And Hijacked Jim Mora Jr.'s Press Conference To Prove It
UCLA already has the Pac-12 South clinched. Their opponent in the championship game would be either Stanford or Oregon, depending on whether the Bruins won or lost against the Cardinal on Saturday.

Here's Every Instance Of Phil Simms Saying The Word "Football" In A Single Broadcast
"This guy." "The National Football League." Sportscasters have their own pet phrases, most of which add nothing to the conversation. They're meaningless syllables to fill up airtime, nervous tics that we're used to ignoring, but once you notice them you can't hear anything else. Take Phil Simms, w...

Massive Pee Wee Running Back Just Completely Destroys Normal-Sized Kid Trying To Tackle Him (Update)
If anyone has details on this, please send them over. All we know is that the fullback on the brown team is a monster of a beast of a human being (they don't give out the number 00 to just anyone), and that the safety on the purple team tried to be a hero, and it ended poorly for him. Watch No. 11...
Harrison Barnes Demolishes Nikola Pekovic With The Dunk Of The Year
Not long ago, Harrison Barnes was touted as the next big thing, a guy who was destined for NBA stardom. A disappointing college career changed all that, however, and Barnes—just a rookie—is now associated with unfulfilled potential. So it's easy to forget that he can do things like this....
Jameer Nelson Goes One Way, Paul Pierce Goes Flat On His Back
Jameer Nelson might have missed the shot and the Magic did wind up losing in overtime, but so what? Nelson's hesitation move on this catch-and-step broke Paul Pierce's ankles and left Pierce watching the remainder of the play from his back....
The Most Exciting Action Of The Weekend Was In This Kids Relay Race
Even without betting on them, the races and games held during stoppages in play of sporting events are often the most thrilling action of the day; it's possible I miss the mites games between periods more than anything else during the NHL lockout. This relay race, from half time of yesterday's Sou...
For Once, The Browns Really Were #1 Against The Steelers
Long-suffering Browns fans have faced a decade of hardship when it comes to games against the hated Pittsburgh Steelers.

Browns Linebacker Tank Carder Follows Awful Comedy Accounts On Twitter, Tells One "Your A Faggot" When He Misses The Joke
You can tell a lot about a person by checking out who they follow on Twitter. In the case of the former TCU Horned Frog, Tank Carder fulfills many of the "jock" stereotypes you might have. He follows something called "Fill Werrell" and the straight forwardly-named "Pickup Lines!" He follows an acco...
Seahawks-Dolphins Delayed When Sun Life Stadium Sprinklers Go Off Mid-Game
Damn you, BW3.
