Why Is Dennis Rodman At The Vatican? He's Being Paid By A Betting Company, Of Course
When Dennis Rodman flew to Rome on the heels of a Vice-organized trip to North Korea (a week later the DPRK abandoned a 60-year-old ceasefire agreement, so, strong work), we all kind of assumed that this was part of Rodman's new career as a diplomat. The selfless Worm, just working for international...

Russell Westbrook Throws Up A Half-Court Shot That Is Total Nonsense
He was clearly trying to draw a foul here, and although he may have actually succeeded—Gary Neal's hands were right on Westbrook's chest when the shot went up—this shot was ill-advised. You can't really expect the referee to be ready to call a foul on a half-court shot with 18 seconds left on the s...

West Virginia TV Station Graphic Refers To WVU Football Coach As "Dana Horsewomen"
West Virginia's not known for its excelsior journalism, but Charleston/Huntington NBC affiliate WSAZ has long been the flagship for getting it right in the Mountain State and is, seriously, a fantastic news operation. Alas, the auto-correct bug can bite even the most seasoned TV vets, as we assume...

Off To See A Snoozer. <em>Oz, The Great and Powerful</em>, Reviewed.
1. The notion of doing a prequel to The Wizard of Oz focused on Oz himself isn't an inherently terrible idea. The wizard, after all, is the one character in that story who's neither completely good nor bad; he's full of shit, sure, but he also means well for Oz and ultimately tries to grant everybod...

High School Coach Whose Wife Was Diagnosed With Cancer Hits Half-Court Shot For $20,000
This happened between the third and fourth quarters of last night's Lakers-Thunder game, and it's one of the best fan-makes-half-court-shot videos of the year. The fact that Heath Kufahl's perfectly executed shot is followed by everyone on the court freaking out jumping around to a Blur song makes...

No, The Lakers Did Not Prove That They Can Compete With The Thunder Last Night
Last night, the Oklahoma City Thunder decimated the Los Angeles Lakers. Not only did the home team hang 122 on the Lakers, they bullied their way into the paint for 52 of those points and racked up another 22 on fast breaks that left Los Angeles gasping and ragged. L.A. surrendered 37 points in the...

To Go With An Injury And A Loss, A Fan Stole Kobe Bryant's Towel
Not the best night for Kobe. After briefly leaving the game in the first with an ulnar nerve contusion (that's a bruised funny bone, and you don't need to be an athlete to know how obscenely painful it can be), and then seeing the Thunder shrug off an attempted comeback, Bryant had a towel pilfere...
