The <i>Star Wars</i> Chronology Melted Mike Francesa's Brain

Mike Francesa, Live On Air, Just Counting To 42
I don’t think this latest example of Mike Francesa’s utter contempt for his listeners achieves the same level of majesty that 50 Seconds of Phone Scrolling did, but it’s still great:...

This Dwight Howard Lowlight Reel Is Very Rude And Very Funny
If not for all the bad vibes coming off the 76ers and Lakers, there’s a good chance that the 12-14 Rockets would be wearing the Saddest Team in the League crown.

A Treasure Trove Of Very Sad 76ers
The Philadelphia 76ers, now in year three of their shameless rebuild, are 0-15. Playing for an 0-15 team that ranks dead last in points per game and leads the league in turnovers can’t be much fun, so it’s no surprise that 76ers Players Looking Really Sad has started to become an internet genre of s...

Fire Extinguisher Becomes Weapon In Fight Between Robin Lopez And The Rockets Mascot
Robin Lopez does not like mascots. He has had an ongoing series of beeves with just about every mascot in the NBA, including our friend Clutch the bear here.
