Roy Hibbert, Who Is Still Around, Dunks And Dabs
Roy Hibbert’s transformation from dominant NBA center to dilapidated coat rack was completed a long time ago, but the big guy is still taking the floor for the Lakers every night, racking up seven points and six rebounds per 26 minutes of stilted run. Every now and then, he even does something notew...
The Suns Are A Wreck, And The Owner Is Blaming "Millennial Culture"
It wasn’t so long ago that the Phoenix Suns were one of the NBA’s feel-good stories. Jeff Hornacek took a weirdly constructed lineup, featuring a two- and then three-headed point guard monster, and turned the Suns into one of the more exciting young teams in the league. But the roster’s been rejigge...
Dexter Manley Says Black Quarterbacks Are More Mobile Because "They're Probably Used To Running From The Law"

Mark Dantonio Doesn't Have Time For Your Stupid Questions
Michigan State head coach Mark Dantonio wasn’t about to suffer multiple questions from ESPN’s Heather Cox before tonight’s Cotton Bowl playoff matchup against Alabama, so the Michigan State head coach went full Popovich and walked away. Maybe he heard about this....

“I’ve sat for months on end waiting for any assignment while I watched other Fox reporters working almost daily throughout the last year. It feels punitive, as if I did something wrong.

Brandon Weeden Roasted Jerry Jones
Brandon Weeden began this season as a Cowboy and is going to end it among the thicket of, oh, let’s say, imperfect QBs leading the Texans into the playoffs (unless the Colts somehow beat the 3,300:1 odds stacked against them). I’m sure he didn’t imagine he’d play much this season, let alone start fo...
LSU's D.J. Chark Goes 79 Yards, Scores Touchdown On First Career Touch
D.J. Chark’s at the end of his second year in an LSU uniform, but it took until tonight’s Texas Bowl for him to ever touch the football in a real game. We’ll expect he touches it plenty in the future after taking his first touch 79 yards and for a touchdown....

Legendary Fighter Kazushi Sakuraba Brutalized In Depressing Spectacle
Fighting is too young a sport for a descriptor like “legend” to mean all that much, but so far as it does, Kazushi Sakuraba is one of the few people who deserve it. His incredible career has been too strange and interesting to easily summarize, but, briefly, after starting out as a pro wrestler, he ...
Alex DeBrincat Earns Game Misconduct For Spearing
The U.S. is currently taking on Canada at the IIHF world juniors in Finland, and the Yanks will have to play the final two periods without potential NHL first-rounder Alex DeBrincat after the Michigan native delivered his stick blade straight into Flyers prospect Travis Konecny’s gut. Go USA!...
