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'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...

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.

Lionel Messi Scores Record-Breaking 86th Goal Less Than A Week After Going Down With Injury

The Texas Longhorns' Basketball Season In A Nutshell: This Blown Layup In A Game They Lost By 2
Yesterday's UCLA-Texas game from Reliant Stadium in Houston was billed as a battle between two college basketball heavyweights.

Midway through last night's snoozer of a Lakers-Thunder matchup—one OKC walked away with to the tune of 114-108—ESPN analyst Jeff Van Gundy poked fun at competitor NBA TV's sub-par national broadcast lineup. He has a point; NBA TV's national games have been far from the spotlight matchups of those...
JaVale McGee Performs Perfectly Terrible, Ridiculous, Awful Play
JaVale McGee helped lead the Nuggets to a 92-89 win over the Pacers in Indianapolis tonight thanks to 20 points on 9-9 shooting. That perfect shooting percentage only held up because the official scorer decided not to classify whatever happens at the end of this play as a shot. Sure, it's probabl...
Mike Francesa Forgot To Turn In His Heisman Vote
The Heisman Trophy winner will be announced this Saturday, and it's going to be a good one.

Will it be Manti Te'o, who anchored the defense that led Notre Dame back to the title ...
How Did The Raiders Sniff Out This Jailbreak Screen? Maybe Because Peyton Manning Audibled To It With "Prison! Prison!"
