Andre Ingram Is The NBA's Best Story
It took Andre Ingram 10 years and 384 games in the minors and overseas—in Orem, Utah; El Segundo, California; Perth, Australia; back to El Segundo—never making more than $30,000 a year, and working as a math tutor to make ends meet. Last night, finally, after all of that, in a game that didn’t matte...
Daniel Bryan’s Return To Wrestling Has Been Great
One of the unfortunate drawbacks of WrestleMania 34’s crowded card: Daniel Bryan’s return to wrestling got lost in the shuffle. It was probably unavoidable. Where else should Bryan return but at WrestleMania in New Orleans, where he won the WWE championship in four years earlier? ...
Robert Kraft Calls Meek Mill "A Great Guy" After Visiting Him In Prison
Patriots owner Robert Kraft, of all people, and 76ers owner Michael Rubin visited Meek Mill in Pennsylvania prison today, where the Philly rapper is currently serving time for a probation violation.

President Of The United States, Weirdly: "Roll Tide"
It’s hard to believe, but it’s true—Donald Trump has only been President of the United States for 13 years. The time has gone by so quickly, one day screaming incoherently into the next over and over and faster and faster, and yet it has also somehow been the same endless shitty/terrifying Tuesday f...
A 10-Year-Old Boy Is No Longer A WWE Tag Team Champion
One of the best moments of Sunday’s long WrestleMania was the Raw tag team championship match. Braun Strowman, the monster who’s been terrorizing WWE in an incredibly entertaining fashion for about a year now, picked a random (“random”) child out of the stands as his partner for the tag team title m...

The Universe Must Deliver A Rockets-Thunder Playoff Series
The Oklahoma City Thunder handed the Houston Rockets just their 7th home loss of the season Saturday night, by the relatively low score of 108-102. The Rockets were without Eric Gordon and Ryan Anderson, but that’s not supposed to matter much—the Rockets had all of Chris Paul, James Harden, and Clin...
Corey Knebel's Injury Sure Is A Bummer
Last night was a rough one for the Brewers. They got shut out by the Cubs at home. They made two ugly errors in a three-run inning. And they lost closer Corey Knebel, who took the mound for the ninth in a game where he wasn’t really needed and went down with a hamstring injury that’ll keep him out f...
Jon Lester's Weird One-Hop Pickoff Move Succeeds
Cubs pitcher Jon Lester’s complete and utter inability to successfully deliver a pickoff throw has been well-documented and exploited over the years, so he began trying something new in spring training this year: one-hopping the ball to first base. (Or more-than-one hopping it, if necessary. “I don’...
Windswept Honey Bun Boards Presidential Aircraft
President Donald Trump’s workday on Thursday included two actual things. That day officially began at 11 a.m., per his public schedule, when Trump received his daily intelligence briefing. There’s no telling how long this takes, as Trump famously likes his briefings short and colorful and chart-base...
The <i>L.A. Weekly</i>'s Cheesy Astroturfing Campaign Against Its Former Writers Can't Stop The Boycott
In the four months since a mysterious group of rich people took over the L.A. Weekly, news outlets across the country have continued to experience brutal cuts to newsroom staffs and other harsh austerity measures. More than 50 journalists from the East Bay Times and the San Jose Mercury News were la...
WrestleMania 34 Looks Pretty Awesome: A Preview For Lapsed WWE Fans
The card for Sunday night’s WrestleMania 34, which will air live on WWE Network from the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, is the best in recent memory.

Max Holloway Has Less Than A Week To Cut An Ungodly Amount Of Weight
Nobody will say for certain what Max Holloway weighed when he agreed to fight Khabib Nurmagomedov at UFC 223, but he has until Friday afternoon to get down to 155 pounds if he wants a shot at the UFC lightweight title. That’s 10 pounds heavier than his typical fighting weight, though he’s a big feat...
The Rams Get Richer, Trade For Brandin Cooks
The New England Patriots spent a first- and third-round pick to get Brandin Cooks from the Saints last offseason, and now they’ve dealt the receiver (along with a fourth-round pick) to the Rams in exchange for a first- and sixth-rounder. That was fast!...
Is Donald Trump Really "The Michael Jordan Of Political Nicknames?"
Chris Cillizza’s job isn’t as easy as it seems, although it also isn’t nearly difficult enough to justify the salary he receives for doing it. What that job is even supposed to be is kind of a moving target, to be honest, but much of what Cillizza does in his current position as a political reporter...
