Warriors Look Disgustingly Unstoppable In Game 1 Blowout Victory
For the better part of a quarter, the Cavaliers and Warriors gave us the gloriously competitive game these playoffs have so been lacking. Then Cleveland suddenly became unable to defend Kevin Durant in any capacity, Golden State looked every bit as unstoppable as they’re supposed to be, and it all w...

It’s that time of year again: 364 days and 23 hours since the end of the conference finals, the NBA Finals are here!

Mets Manager Terry Collins Ejected After Umps Reverse Ball Boy Interference
Today, the Mets found themselves in minor drama that had nothing to do with a rebellious mascot.

Jets And Browns Exchange Hostages
The Jets and Browns made a rare player-for-player trade this morning, with safety Calvin Pryor going to Cleveland and inside linebacker Demario Davis headed back to North Jersey. Because both players are Jets draft busts, this deal feels like a ransom agreement....

Report: Bird-Flipping Mr. Met No Longer Allowed To Be Mr. Met
Last night, Mr. Met gave us the highlight of the New York Mets’ season when he gave the finger to a fan. It was fun and good, mostly because the visual of a grinning Mr. Met giving some jamoke the finger is a pleasing visual, and also because it was no doubt deserved. Unfortunately, the Mets were no...
What Happened To Pekka Rinne?
The Penguins are surely doing lots of good things to be up 2-0 in the Stanley Cup Final after last night’s 4-1 win. They were the league’s highest-scoring team this year, and for brief explosions in both games in which they were generally outworked, they’ve been able to solve the Predators’ elite de...
Mets Apologize After Mr. Met Gets Caught Flipping The Bird At A Fan
The Mets lost to the Brewers tonight by six runs. Aside from Eric Thames’s big dinger, what happened on the field was not particularly notable (the Mets lose all the time). However, right next to the field, Mr. Met provided the highlight of the night when he flipped off a fan who was videotaping the...
The Penguins Crushed The Predators In One Terrifying Three-Minute Stretch

Steve Kerr Might Return During The Finals
Warriors coach Steve Kerr only coached two games of the Warriors’ playoff run before complications from his 2015 back surgery forced him to leave the team and seek treatment.

Have You Talked Yourself Into The Cavs Yet?
I think we can all agree that last year’s NBA Finals was one of the best sports things to ever happen, and that it would be maximally good if the same thing—by “same thing” I mean LeBron and the Cavs banishing the Warriors to hell—happened again this year. If you disagree with this, then you are pro...
What On Earth Was That?
Let’s stipulate that that’s not going to happen again. The Penguins aren’t going to shoot 41.6 percent, as they did in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, because hockey teams don’t just shoot 41.6 percent. At the other end, the Predators aren’t going to again allow four goals on 11 shots (before an em...
Penguins Take Game 1, But Frédérick Gaudreau's First Career Goal Is The Better Story<em></em>
Jake Guentzel’s goal with three minutes left handed Pittsburgh a Game 1 win tonight in the Stanley Cup Final, and that goal wiped out what had been a hard-fought Nashville comeback after the Predators found themselves down 3-0 at the end of the first period. (The Penguins added an empty-netter to ma...
