Kendrick Perkins's Follow-Through Is Just The Best
This Youtube video is titled "Kendrick Perkins YOLO follow through," and I honestly can't think of a better description. Perk doesn't take a lot of jumpers (he made two in last night's win over San Antonio, fulfilling Mayan prophecy), so when he found himself in space for his second, he wasn't abo...

Everyone At ESPN Is Still Under Tim Tebow's Spell

Chris Berman Plays His Greatest Hits: Deux, Deux, Deux
Like any good showman knows, you've got to give the people what they want. And, clearly, what the people want is an homage to a bit on foreign painkillers from a lovable oaf.

Mike Lupica's Pro-Gun-Control Essay On Today's <em>Sports Reporters</em> Makes Bob Costas Sound Like A Right-Winger

The Texas Basketball Holiday Song Wars Continue: Here Are The Dallas Mavericks, Trying To Sing "Sleigh Ride"
Not to be outdone by their rivals in Houston, who sort of sang the Dreidel Song, the Dallas Mavericks got together to sort of sing a "Sleigh Ride" karaoke. It's pretty good, especially, Chris Kaman, who is funnier than he looks. Rick Carlisle, too, and O.J Mayo, who only makes sound effects. Now a...

Tonight's <em>Saturday Night Live</em> Cold Open: The New York Children's Chorus Singing "Silent Night"
Given yesterday's devastating events in Connecticut, it seemed impossible for NBC to put together a Saturday Night Live cold open that could be seen in any way as appropriate for the mood. In the end, they eschewed any attempt at making the audience laugh—instead going with a touching performance f...

The Only Thing Mike D'Antoni Detests More Than His Team's Play Is T.J. Simers' Questions
There's probably no other sports reporter/columnist out there who can ingratiate himself so well to a coach as T.J. Simers of the Los Angeles Times, if by "ingratiate" we mean "antagonize coaches coming off a bad loss by uttering outrageous allegations that make them to want to strangle you in fro...

We're Pretty Sure Steve Young Did Not Say The Texans Had "The Biggest Dick In The League" Last Night
We've received a number of emails about this, and at least one other site has now reported it, no doubt because it has all the trappings of an epic malapropism by one of ESPN's on-air personalities. "Where is that dramatic fight from a team that thinks they have the biggest dick in the league?" St...

One of the most entertaining college basketball games so far this season happened Saturday night in Spokane, as the 13th-ranked and undefeated Illini downed Gonzaga 85-74.

JaVale McGee Had A Bad Minute During Last Night's Nuggets-Knicks Game [UPDATE: Now With George Karl Reaction GIF]
On Friday JaVale McGee performed a terrible, wonderful, perfectly awful feat and helped lead the Nuggets to a big win. He was less effective last night against the Knicks, picking up as many fouls as he had rebounds and only scoring four points. That's not to say our love for McGee is tempered; o...
