Clippers Blow Out Rockets, Advance To–Wait, What? The <i>Rockets</i> Won???
Late in the third quarter of last night’s game at Staples Center, the Rockets looked about as dead as any team has been in these playoffs. They’d been outscored 23-to-6 by the Clippers in the quarter and fallen behind by 19; they weren’t defending or working for good looks on offense and looked pret...

Boar Crashes Through Mall Ceiling, Causes So Much Ruckus

Why Doesn't ESPN Care That A Fake ESPN President Canceled A Show?
The most influential sports media executive in the world, ESPN president John Skipper, recently had his identity stolen.

Ref Cancels Penalty, Brings Back Red Carded Player After Change Of Mind

Russian Hockey Brawl Leaves Coach Shirtless And Triumphant
This dude right here—who seems to be feeling pretty good about the fact that he just exited a hockey brawl down a shirt, jacket, and tie—is named Andrei Razin, and he’s the head coach of a hockey team in Russia’s minor league. He ended up this way after scrapping with opposing head coach Alex Zhdahi...
Bone Broth Is Hot Ham Water
Food trends are an easy thing to hate. They immediately conjure up thoughts of "foodie" culture, $6 cupcakes, and the insufferable idiots who invented kale. But some trends are important and genuinely advance the way we eat. Twenty years ago, cheap Mexican food meant Taco Bell, ramen was $.02 wo...
Patrik Nemeth Got A Puck Caught In His Visor
Dallas Stars defenseman Patrik Nemeth was just minding his own business when Jiri Hudler fired the puck right at Nemeth’s face, at which point the damn thing got caught in Nemeth’s visor.

As Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie talked to the media Tuesday, Peter King was in the background, licking his lips, among other things. We all probably look odd when we don't know a camera's on us, but we're still going to enjoy King doing his best Chip Kelly impression....
The Arkansas Bench Threw A Shoe Onto The Court In The Middle Of Play
This might be the most bizarre sequence of events you'll see this NCAA tournament. First, for some unknown reason, Arkansas's Rashad Madden kicked his shoe off and into the crowd. I suppose it was loose and he felt he was better off without one?...
How to Cash Out Your Change
It's around 3 p.m., and I'm starting to run out of gas. My brain just has no juice. I'm a writer, and I work best in the mornings, so I try to be typing by 7:45 a.m., and with any luck I make it till 4 before the gears start to grind and the works gum up. But not today. Today, by like 3:15, the wo...
