JaVale McGee Does Goofy Thing, Lazy Thing, Awesome Thing All In One Sequence
I mean, this is the definitively JaVale McGee video, isn't it? The good, the bad and the ugly, all in the span of about ten seconds. JaVale gets hit in the face with the ball on the fast break, turning it over. Then he neglects to get back on defense. But wait! The Wizards get the steal and airmai...
Watch This Fan Spit All Over His Hand, Then High Five Jeremy Lin And Other Knicks
The Knicks were in Chicago last night to play the Bulls. Both teams acquitted themselves well. The same can't be said for at least one of the fans at the United Center. That would be the soon-to-be-identified little bastard in this video. The video quality is crappy, but it looks like the bastard ...
AHL Player Turns Into Crazy Person, Decides To Fight Everybody And Their Goalie
Steve MacIntyre is one of those guys who's always up and down from the NHL, and garners more penalty minutes than scoring chances. So, even with the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins, he's exactly the sort you'd expect to completely lose his mind and challenge the entire opposing team to a fight. All...
Philadelphia Goalkeeper Zac McMath's MLS Season Did Not Get Off To The Best Start
Major League Soccer kicked off this weekend, and with MLS Commissioner Don Garber in attendance, the Portland Timbers were eager to put on their best show in the home opener against Philadelphia Union last night. After falling behind 1-0, the Timbers' Andrew Jean-Baptiste knocked this goal past U...
Tampa Radio Host Hopes The Buccaneers Sign "Those Three Monkeys" In Free Agency [UPDATES]
Dan Sileo's your standard issue jock-turned-shock-jock, currently plying his trade at WDAE ("The Sports Animal") in Tampa. A former U of Miami lineman who had a brief stint in the pros, he got into a bit of trouble for exaggerating the length and importance of his NFL career....
Assemblyman Who Blocked MMA Legalization In New York (And Once Spoke In A Cerebral Palsy Voice) To Step Down
Good news on the politics front, MMA fans. New York assemblyman Bob Reilly, the human-size deer tick who toiled diligently to prevent MMA from being legalized in New York state, thereby keeping the sport underground and unregulated (not to mention unremunerative for the polis), is stepping down, acc...
Opposing Team Pays Terrell Owens To Play Road Game, Promptly Knocks Him Over The Wall
Terrell Owens's contract with the Allen Wranglers stipulates he only has to play home games, but he's let it be known he can be enticed to hop on the metaphorical bus with the rest of his team if the opposition agrees to pay him separately. It appears that's what happened today, as T.O. took to th...
Clippers Broadcaster Michael Eaves Spends Commercial Break Talking About "Bums" And Naked Girls
The NBA's had some technical issues today in their network distributing the League Pass package and one of them let viewers in on the private thoughts of Los Angeles Clippers broadcaster Michael Eaves, who during a commercial break expounded upon the use of the word "bum" and addressed a too-quick...
The Prospect Of A Kentucky-North Carolina Championship Game Blew Several Of Dick Vitale's Fuses
Dickie V's one of ESPN's most polarizing personalities, with people falling either on the side of adoration of his positivity or dismissal of his antics. But we can't quite say we've ever seen anything like what happened at the end of ESPN's NCAA Tournament coverage, in which Vitale had a complet...
Florida State, Vanderbilt, And Michigan State Are Going Dancing, But They Would Have Been Anyway
This brings to a close our series highlighting teams celebrating their conference championships, and like most televised entertainment, it comes to a somewhat anticlimactic end. Sure, FSU won the ACC for the first time ever, and Vanderbilt won the SEC tournament for the first time since 1951 (thou...
NBC Stalks Tiger Woods's Car With A Blimp; ESPN Asks If Peyton Manning Was Riding Shotgun
Tiger Woods dropped out of today's final round at the Cadillac Championship, citing leg trouble before he drove away. In an apparent attempt to ascertain the degree of injury based on his driving, the Peacock Net tasked its blimp with chasing Tiger's car as it escaped Doral. It's unclear what's b...
St. Bonaventure Is Going Dancing
The past ten years have been mostly forgettable for St. Bonaventure, the tenure's nadir being a 2-26 season in 2005 that came in the wake of scandal and suicide. Last season's 16-15 record was the first time the Bonnies finished above .500 since 2002, and their last NCAA appearance was in 2000....
The Oregon 5A Girls' High School Championship Ended With A 16-7 Final Score
Despite featuring the nation's top junior basketball recruit Mercedes Russell, Oregon's 5A state championship game ended up being the lowest-scoring in history: a 16-7 snoozefest won by Russell's Springfield squad over Willamette....
New Mexico State Is Going Dancing
These truly are special times for the basketball-loving Land of Enchantment, with the Lobos running off with a Mountain West tourney win and now the Aggies from Las Cruces joining the party after their Saturday Night Special 82-57 drubbing of Louisiana Tech. [ESPN2]...
Long Beach State Is Going Dancing
The Long Beach State 49ers played five teams in the RPI's top 25 this season in their out-of-conference schedule. They lost all of them, sure, but at least in this instance the burnishing of losses to quality teams prepared Dan Monson's squad for the tangled mayhem of Big West rivalries....
Here's The Gerald Green Dunk Everybody's Talking About
This simple play is the genesis for a litany of questions. Among them: Gerald Green is still in the NBA? (Yes, on a ten-day contract with the Nets.) Where has he been? (In the D-League, mostly, but also playing in China and Russia.) Why has the NBA beaten the punch to would-be screencappers to upl...
Louisville Is Going Dancing After The Worst Big East Final In History
Maybe this is what we deserve, or what the Big East deserves, though the clefts in its foundation are not of its doing, mostly....
Mississippi Valley State Is Going Dancing
Congratulations to the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils, who in beating Texas Southern 71-69 won the SWAC tournament and punched their ticket to the dance. [ESPNU]...
