Cameron Jordan Is Trolling Ben Roethlisberger Now

Saints defensive end Cameron Jordan, long a skilled troll, is gearing up to play the Steelers this week and probably sack Ben Roethlisberger a bunch. The Steelers have been ass on the road lately, and though their backs are against the wall, the Saints still have the No. 1 seed to play for, so they’...

Capitals-Penguins Will Never Get Old

Familiarity breeds contempt in sports rivalries, but in some cases it can also breed repetitive dullness. For the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Washington Capitals, who have met in the playoffs each of the past three seasons with the victor going on to win the Stanley Cup, there was a looming possibil...

That Might Be About It For Josh Gordon's NFL Career

Patriots WR Josh Gordon will reportedly be suspended, again, for a drug policy violation, again....

Frank Solich Still Has Some Tricks Up His Sleeve

We are thick in the middle of the most hilariously named bowl games, and while Wednesday’s Frisco Bowl can’t compete on that front with this, the day before, or this, the day after, perhaps we can take some solace in the fact that until last year the Frisco Bowl was the Miami Beach Bowl, meaning all...

The Rockets Might Be Back, Dammit

The Rockets set a new NBA single-game record for made three-pointers Wednesday night, in a 136–118 beatdown of the lousy Wizards. The various unconscious Rockets combined to knock down 26 threes, which is one more than the Cleveland Cavaliers knocked down in an insane 25-of-46 performance against th...

The Knicks Are In The Freezing-And-Bloodied-And-Lying-In-Actual-Dog-Poop Stage Of Rebuilding

David Fizdale has a tough job. His Knicks are 9–24 on the season. They’ve lost three straight, they’re one of the two or three worst defensive teams in basketball, and Kristaps Porzingis is out indefinitely. A lesser coach might struggle to conjure motivational messages any more vivid than “the giga...

Tom Wilson Corrects The Record With Decisive Beatdown Of Jamie Oleksiak

Back in May, Capitals goon Tom Wilson flattened Penguins forward Zach Aston-Reese in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals. Following the hit, humongous Penguins defenseman Jamie Oleksiak tried to square up with Wilson for a little fisticuffs. Wilson, perhaps noticing the way Oleksiak’s mass obser...

ESPN Eats Its Own Tail Over The Faint Idea Of LeBron James And Anthony Davis Together

It’s easy to see why you—basketball reporter or blogger or TV analyst or general enthusiast not hailing from New Orleans—might salivate at the prospect at Anthony Davis and LeBron James on the same roster. I’m right there with you. It’s an enticing prospect, because it would provide a flesh-and-bloo...

Dedric Lawson's Game Shouldn't Work, But It Does<em></em>

The Kansas Jayhawks under Bill Self have been so consistently good that their dominance of the Big 12 may be getting a bit boring. But if there’s ever been an especially dull Kansas squad, at least at first glance, it’s the one that’s been on the court so far this year. The Jayhawks look incredible,...

A Brief Update On Drew

Video Shows Skins' Montae Nicholson Flooring Man With Knockout Punch [Update]

Washington safety Montae Nicholson was arrested early Tuesday morning outside of World Of Beer in Ashburn, Va. and charged with assault and battery and being drunk in public.

Skateboarding Gave Double-Amputee Felipe Nunes His Life Back

Brazilian skater Felipe Nunes lost both of his legs at the knee in a train accident when he was six years old. At age 13, he picked up skateboarding—at first, simply a way to get around without a wheelchair. Now, at 19, he’s one of the world’s most intriguing skateboarders, having basically reinvent...

LeBron's Photographic Recall Doubles As Good Parenting Tool

Today in highly curated but genuinely heart-warming parenting moments: LeBron delivering a pick-me-up talk to teary 11-year-old son Bryce after a basketball game. The specificity really sells it:...

Donald Trump Has To Give Up Autographed Tim Tebow Gear He Bought With Charity Money. Sad!

It’s entirely possible—and would have been merciful—if you briefly blacked out under the strain of constant Trump scandals unearthed during his presidential campaign, and missed this one. If so, it’s worth rectifying that: Few scandals so better display our president’s venality, his poor business ac...

Carrie Underwood's <i>Sunday Night Football</i> Theme Sucks And Nobody Should Kiss Her Sensitive Ass

On Sunday night, Sports Illustrated producer Jessica Smetana delivered, to no one in particular, a mild criticism of the very bad Sunday Night Football theme performed by Carrie Underwood. The musician saw it and was mad....

Mason Plumlee Did What Now?

The Nuggets have that glow these days. Competent role-players are oozing out of the woodwork. Dumb shots are falling. Mason Plumlee is dusting Harrison Barnes with a slick behind-the-back dribble and a lefty scoop layup to beat the buzzer and put a goofy exclamation point on a 74-point first half, w...

Zion Williamson Bonked His Forehead On The Damn Backboard

We are used to Zion Williamson’s rare combination of dump truck size and comic book athleticism putting the opposition in grave danger, but this is maybe the first sign that young Zion can truly fuck himself up if he isn’t real careful out there:...

Penny Hardaway Tells Rick Barnes "Get The Fuck Out Of Here" After Feisty Press Conference

Tennessee’s 102-92 victory over Memphis on Saturday featured a very chill imitation of a scuffle between the two teams in the final minute. A few days after the game, however, this once-lean beef is starting to look pretty appetizing. At his Tuesday press conference, Memphis first-year coach Penny H...

How On God's Green Earth Did This Ball Not Go In?

AZ Alkmaar plastered PEC Zwolle in the Dutch Cup today by a score of 5-0. However, due to some wicked backspin and an insanely precise smack off the crossbar and the possible imposition of dark magic, AZ forward Mats Seuntjins’s 15th-minute strike somehow was not one of those five goals:...

I Can't Stop Thinking About Jim Nantz Calling Tom Brady "Mr. Cool"

Jim Nantz is too fundamentally bland as a human for a conflict of interest to be concerning, but what fresh hell was this? During Sunday’s Patriots-Steelers game, the CBS broadcaster betrayed his WASPy exterior with an ejaculated moment of unrestrained happiness for his good chum Tom Brady. “Mr. Coo...
