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....
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. ...

Kanye Invades Stage Again In Beyoncé's Honor; Watch Her Reaction
A strangely self-aware Kanye West rushed the stage tonight after the announcement of Beck's win over Beyoncé in the Best Album category, a replay of the 2009 VMAs when the rap artist interrupted Taylor Swift with "I'mma let you finish." West "thought better of it" this time, but watch the angle th...
Iso-Cam On Paul McCartney & Beyoncé Reveal Why They're Music Royalty
Tonight's Grammys performance by "Jeff Lynne's ELO" (which is basically Jeff Lynne backed by the English pop group Take That) didn't get much of a rise from the audience at Staples Center. Two spectators who did manage to stand for the medley of "Evil Woman" and "Mr. Blue Sky"? Paul McCartney and Be...
The NBA Pulled Some Silly Shit With Its Player Of The Month Award
Ordinarily, the NBA's Player of the Month awards aren't worth talking or writing about, even among people who talk and write about NBA stuff. Oh no—Player X didn't win Western Conference Player of the Month for November, even though his PER was a smidge higher than some other dude's! Winning one p...

Kevin Garnett Chucks Ball At, Headbutts Dwight Howard
Usually it is Kevin Garnett getting under his opponent's skin. But there is something so profoundly unlikeable about Dwight Howard—see Kevin Durant, Kobe Bryant, some heckler, and Ice Cube—that the normally cool-and-composed-while-being-a-jerk Garnett absolutely lost it on the play above, chucki...
Here Is The All-Time "Albert Achievement Awards" Blooper Reel
Veteran announcer Marv Albert has been running blooper reels as a guest on David Letterman's program for decades. In his 126 appearances on either Late Night With David Letterman or Late Show, the "Albert Achievement Awards" (set, always, to that ragtime vamp) have established the canon of sports ...

Former NHL Ref: Jack Edwards "Has No Credibility"
Notorious Bruins homer Jack Edwards was in rare form on Saturday night. If you missed it, the NESN broadcaster lost his shit after the puck hit the netting above the glass, play continued, and about 90 seconds later, the Blue Jackets scored. Edwards starts reaching core instability around the two-mi...
Tim Howard Retracts Book Claim That Brad Friedel Tried To Sabotage Him
Tim Howard has announced that he will alter future editions of his just-published book, in response to Brad Friedel's complaint that the book unfairly and inaccurately claims that Friedel attempted to block Howard's move to the Premier League. This decade-old goalkeeper feud still burns brightly, ap...
Why Wasn't Alabama's Blake Sims A Heisman Finalist?
For all practical purposes, the modern college football climate demands that the Heisman award go to the best or favorite quarterback in the country. So matter who is invited to New York—this year it's Oregon QB Marcus Mariota, Wisconsin RB Melvin Gordon, and Alabama wideout Amari Cooper—it's pret...

"That's A Facial!": EMU's Karrington Ward Throws Down Huge Dunk
I am not going to overdo the hyperbole and say that this dunk is a MUST SEE or watching it will BLOW YOUR MIND or Oakland University's Kahlil Felder got DESTROYED. No, this is just a pretty cool dunk with a very emphatic call, and you'll probably enjoy spending 30 seconds watching it. ...
Report: Dwight Howard's Son Showed Signs Of Abuse, Per Doctor
In August, Dwight Howard's ex-girlfriend went to children's services in Orlando to claim that Howard had used a belt to punish their six-year-old son. Yesterday, it emerged reported that Howard had been cleared after an investigation, but documents obtained today by TMZ indicate that the doctor who ...
Kevin Durant To Dwight Howard: "You're A Pussy"
I don't think you can really call what happened between the Thunder and Rockets last night a "basketball game," what with both teams shooting under 30 percent and the Rockets winning 69-65 (even the mid-90s Knicks would blanch at that score). An ugly game like that tends to breed contempt—both sides...
