Chill Dude Crashes Warriors Postgame Show, Does "Electric Zombie" Dance
This happened after Friday's game between the Pelicans and Warriors, but it was just brought to our attention by a friend of the hairy, dancing gent in the clip above. I become more and more jealous that I am not a Warriors fan with each passing day....
Referee Sends Off Wrong West Brom Player
Disaster struck for West Bromwich Albion just over a minute into their match against Manchester City. Wilfried Bony seized upon Gareth McAuley's poor back pass, and was subsequently hacked down by Craig Dawson. Referee Neil Swarbrick didn't immediately blow his whistle—presumably playing advantage...
Tim Howard Kinda Just Chills With His Hands Down, Watches Goal Go In
I know. I know. It was a great goal from Dynamo Kiev's Andriy Yarmolenko. Someone should've, could've stepped to the ball, at some point. Tim Howard probably couldn't have gotten to it anyway. I know. That's all out of the way....
Steph Curry Is Beyond Reproach
Steph Curry’s statistical output from his last two games isn’t anything to freak out over—22 points and seven assists against Dallas on Friday, followed by 12 points in four assists against the Clips on Sunday—but in each of those games he made plays that should have led anyone who saw them to one c...
Draymond Green Roasts Dahntay Jones After Jones Bumps Him

No Big Deal, Just Stephen Curry Dishing Another Unbelievable Pass
Stephen Curry completes passes that nobody else even thinks of. A fake behind-the-back to offhand wraparound pass isn't something you see every day, or any day. Watch Draymond Green sitting on the three-point line and Klay Thompson diving into the paint behind a ball-watching Monta Ellis, and on a...
Steph Curry Launches A Three, Doesn't Even Watch It Go In
Hey, Steph Curry, how is your confidence level these days?...
When Did Gordon Hayward Turn Into A Doe-Eyed Channing Tatum?
I will admit I don't watch the Utah Jazz, but I watched Gordon Hayward at Butler, when the small Indiana school had their tournament runs in March Madness. In my mind, Hayward still looked like the baby-faced Indiana stringbean he was in college. Wrong. Gordon Hayward's gorgeous now....

LeBron James And The Scary Cavaliers Put A Beatdown On The Warriors

Madonna Crashes And Burns At BRIT Awards Ceremony
Tonight in London, Madonna put her love to the test at the BRIT Awards. Her love failed, or at least her legs did. Call it a wardrobe failure if you must, but this is Madonna eating it in the least graceful of ways....
Eric Lindros Sues NHL Ref Who Told Story About Him Being A Huge Dickhead
Last July, former NHL referee Paul Stewart wrote a column for Huffington Post which included a story about then-Flyers rookie Eric Lindros being an asshole to Stewart. Lindros is now suing Stewart and the Huffington Post for defamation....
Damn, Man, Tim Howard Is Having One Sad-Ass Season
It's been less than a year since Tim Howard became America's World Cup hero, staring down an unrelenting Belgian attack and turning away 16 goddamn shots with the grim resolve of an action hero who's low on ammo. In fact, go ahead and watch each one of those beautiful, thrilling saves one more time....
J.K. Simmons Uses Oscar Win To Promote Calling Your Parents
As expected, J.K. Simmons took home the Supporting Actor Academy Award for his performance in Whiplash. Simmons's acceptance speech was simple and yet memorable, simply because he told a worldwide audience to call—"Don't text, don't email, call"—a parent, if they have any living ones remaining. ...
Stephen Curry Goes Coast-To-Coast & Around The World
Like Casey Kasem on American Top 40, Stephen Curry took a Spurs turnover coast-to-coast and around the world for a layup that absolutely delighted ESPN Deportes announcers Fernando Álvarez and Pablo Viruega....
Al Pacino's Worst Movie Ever Is <i>Revolution</i>
Flipping around cable, I land on 1993's Carlito's Way and check in for a few scenes of a lurid, pulpy, and very Brian De Palma movie that's arguably like Scarface with an interior life. And as Al Pacino struts and chews his way through another role with another weird accent that ultimately leave...
<i>The Running Man</i>'s Goofy, Violent Dystopia Hasn't Arrived Yet, Alas
Right around New Year's Day, I saw a bit of online chatter pointing out that we were entering the year depicted in Back to the Future II, and that to our great disappointment, we still don't have hoverboards or '80s-themed diners. Tragic as that may be, I'm more concerned that we're now only two yea...
