UFC Class Clown Johnny Walker Wrecked His Opponent Then Wrecked Himself Doing The Worm
The last time we saw UFC court jester Johnny Walker in the octagon a month ago, he pretended to strip while getting prepped for his fight, knocked out Justin Ledet in 15 seconds with an outlandish combo, and then celebrated with a solid minute of gyration.

D'Angelo Russell Rained Fire And Brimstone Down On The Hornets To Steal A Win For The Nets In Charlotte
By now, most NBA fans have come around to the idea that D’angelo Russell might be a good player. But there are still some that have a hard time believing that the fourth-year Nets guard has evolved past his ball-hogging days in a Lakers uniform, and use old habits to judge his current playing style....
Meet Johnny Walker, A Hilarious Weirdo Even By UFC Standards
This weekend’s UFC Fortaleza card was a tremendously entertaining event, with the five true main card fights all ending in finishes, old dogs Demian Maia and Jose Aldo picking up resounding wins in front of the home crowd, and Marlon Moraes launching himself towards title contention despite a case o...
NC State Player Ejected For Flipping Opponent Down By The Ankle
With Grayson Allen on to antagonizing and endangering opponents in the NBA, NC State forward Wyatt Walker has taken up his mantle in the ACC.

The Hornets Pissed Away A Golden Chance At A Win In Hilarious Fashion

Old Tony Parker Stepped In And Gave Kemba Walker A Break, And It Ruled
Two minutes and seven seconds remained on the clock in last night’s Celtics-Hornets game, and Kemba Walker was tired. He had every right to be: To that point, he’d scored 40 points—18 in the fourth quarter alone—in just under 37 minutes of playing time. And these were not ordinary minutes, but rathe...
I Hope Kemba Walker Joins A Good Team
Sometimes a losing performance is so searingly good that even the cheeseball who sunk the game-winner has to immediately pay his dues. “I will say, Kemba gave me 60 tonight. I will have to say that one,” said Jimmy Butler, who was tasked with shutting down Walker for much of Saturday night, minutes ...
Walker Buehler Is A Goddamn Stud
Max Muncy might have been the hero for the Dodgers in the marathon that was Game 3 of the World Series, but rookie pitcher Walker Buehler was the real star. The 24-year-old showed on Friday that he’s ready to be the next great Los Angeles postseason hero in his seven-inning shutout performance....
Don't Miss The Kemba Walker Show
A surefire way of embarrassing yourself is by saying anything optimistic-sounding about the Charlotte Hornets based on something they do in the first month of an NBA season.

After 17 Seasons In San Antonio, Tony Parker Will Join The Charlotte Hornets

Truly The Combined No-Hitter Is the Connoisseur's No-Hitter
Walker Buehler pitched six no-hit innings for the Dodgers Friday night, against the Padres. It took him 93 pitches to get through six; the most he’s thrown in a game this season is 94; 93 pitches is more than twice as many as he threw in any game last season, when he made his MLB debut and eight tot...
Report: Mitch Kupchak Will Take Over Charlotte Hornets Basketball Operations
The Charlotte Hornets fired general manager Rich Cho back in February, when they could no longer pretend like they’d done anything right since coming back to Charlotte, other than developing Kemba Walker and having a cool-ass court. Buzz Peterson, the team’s assistant GM and a college roommate of ow...
Kemba Walker Scored 46 Points In Less Time Than It Took Me To Write A Stupid Blog About It
It’s okay if you did not happen to plan yesterday evening around watching the tanking Memphis Grizzlies visiting the not tanking but nevertheless shitty and irrelevant Charlotte Hornets. I didn’t either, and that’s too bad. Because while I was watching whatever stupid crap instead—Wheel of Fortune! ...
Real-Life Father Neil Walker Learns That Fans Call Him Daddy: "I Guess I'm Flattered"

Spurs Sell Kyle Walker To Man City, Will Probably Be Fine
The last time there was this much anxiety about Tottenham being a “selling club” was way back in 2013. In back-to-back offseasons, Real Madrid snatched away Spurs superstars Gareth Bale and Luka Modrić, both of whom had worked together to take Tottenham to previously unseen heights—most notably the ...
Chip Brand's Automated Twitter Promotion Spirals Out Of Control
Fancy a crisp? How about a bag of Walkers, the Frito-Lay-owned brand that broadcasted videos of Gary Lineker holding framed portraits of serial killers and convicted pedophiles? Who’s hungry?...
Why Does Everyone Think Derek Jeter Was A Great Captain?
