Sharks Players Make The Mistake Of Badmouthing City Of Winnipeg

This Was One Rough Night For The Cavaliers
The Cavaliers have now lost five of their last seven games, but none of those losses has come close to being so ugly as tonight.

What Weird New Behavior Will Donald Trump Display At The National Championship Game?<em></em>
A year and change into his first term in office, it’s still honestly kind of hard to tell why Donald Trump ran for president. At this point, we know enough about him to assume both 1) that it had nothing to do with any of the reasons he offered on the campaign trail and 2) that it’s probably somethi...
Does The Panthers' Excuse For Cam Newton's Very Brief Concussion Exam Pass Muster?
The NFL and NFLPA are reportedly investigating the circumstances surrounding that massive hit to the brain Cam Newton took in the fourth quarter of yesterday’s loss to New Orleans.

José Mourinho and Antonio Conte do not like each other.

The resulting insults have been as p...

Saints defensive lineman Cameron Jordan wrapped up a 31-26 win over the Panthers Sunday, dooming a last-gasp Carolina drive by rushing through two blockers and forcing Cam Newton to take a crucial intentional grounding penalty.

The National Park Service Will Be Run By The Guy Who Helped Dan Snyder Cut Down Public Trees To Improve His River View<em></em>

P. D...
Order The Veggie Burger With Bacon
More often than is smart, I find myself at a bar and desperately in need of sustenance with dwindling options. Maybe you’re an idiot like me, or maybe you work nights at a bar or restaurant and need to eat something satisfying that won’t knock you on your ass mid-shift. And when you ask a server if ...
Rick Carlisle Needs To Chill
Mavericks head coach Rick Carlisle, who is also the president of the NBA’s Coaches Association, is fed up with ESPN giving crazy sports dad LaVar Ball so much space to express himself.

Luke Walton Jokes He Took Out Lonzo Ball Because "His Dad Was Talking Shit"
The Lakers got to end their nine-game losing streak Sunday night by treating the Hawks like the punching bags they are, but the longer-term and more important story in Los Angeles is the Ball family’s undermining of head coach Luke Walton. First, during the losing streak, LaVar said from all the way...
For No Reason, Here's A Ridiculously Tight Cam Newton Throw
I flagged this yesterday in the hopes there’d be some larger context to use it today, but after the Saints’ 31-26 win over the Panthers, there’s really not. Which is fine! It’s fine to look at a cool throw for its own sake. This is a cannon....

Cam Newton Never Had A Chance
Cameron Jordan—Pro Bowler, first-team All-Pro, serious candidate for defensive player of the year—loves shit-talking the Panthers. The DE has had ample opportunity, with the Saints beating Carolina three times this season, including Sunday’s 31-26 playoff win. He’s gone back and forth with Cam Newto...
Drew Brees Reminds Us What A Good Quarterback Does
The Saints beat the Panthers for the third time this season, 31-26, to advance to the next round of the playoffs. And after some truly ugly play from the QBs in the early Bills-Jaguars game, Drew Brees put on a show and served as the antidote. On 23-of-33 passing, Brees had an extremely efficient 37...
Cam Newton Sits Down While Trying To Leave The Field After Getting Sacked
Panthers QB Cam Newton took a head-on collision from David Onyemata while trying to avoid a sack in the fourth quarter of his game against the Saints.

LPGA Pro Attempts Phil Mickelson Flop Shot Trick, Brains Caddie
You’ve probably seen the clip of Phil Mickelson hitting one of his famous flop shots over a terrified Dave Pelz, stationed not more than three or four feet from the point of contact.
