Draymond Green Is His Own Kind Of Marvel
The Warriors’ unassailable version of basketball starts with Steph Curry making origami out of the game’s standard conventions, but there’s also Draymond Green, doing stuff like this:...
Yeah, OK, I'm All About The Sharks
The NHL’s playoff bracket is a little bit broken when each conference’s best two teams are playing each other in the second round, but a nice side effect is that we’re getting close series—and through two games, they look close all around. That includes Sharks-Predators, even if San Jose is up 2-0. ...
The Streaky-Ass Miami Heat Just Barely Won A Series They Dominated
The Heat are likely going to be favored over whoever squeezes out the Indiana-Toronto series that wraps tonight the time you’re finishing your Game of Thrones-Silicon Valley doubleheader. Even if it’s Toronto (which hasn’t won a playoff series since 2001) and we get the No. 2 v. No. 3 seed matchup, ...
USA Loses 4x100 After Botched Baton Exchange
The Jamaican team of Jermaine Hamilton, Julian Foote, Rasheed Dwyer, and Oshane Bailey took first place at the Penn Relays 4x100 after the top U.S. team botched the baton exchange on the anchor leg....
NFL Network Cuts To Commercial After "Beavers" And "Bush" Leave Panelists Incapacitated
Today’s NFL Network draft coverage came to a sudden halt when, immediately after Mike Mayock’s assertion that “I’m very much a Beavers guy,” the Bears selected Deon Bush. That pick drove the network’s panelists to paralyzing laughter, and brought on a quick cut to commercial....

This Oral History Of The Doug Mirabelli Trade Is Delightful
Let’s go back to 2006, a simpler time when Trot Nixon and Matt Clement roamed the earth. That winter, the Red Sox had traded away Doug Mirabelli, not known for his offensive prowess so much as he was for being Tim Wakefield’s personal catcher. Not just everyone can successfully catch a knuckleball, ...
Jay Beagle Got Hockey Sticks Stuck In His Helmet And Skate
Capitals center Jay Beagle found a way to get a hockey stick stuck in his equipment on two separate occasions in Thursday’s game against the Penguins. The first was a remarkable fluke; the second was a beneficial one....
Caps Beat Pens On Oshie Overtime Hat Trick-Capper That Holds Up Under Review
Washington took the first game of its series against Pittsburgh tonight on an overtime wrap-around goal by T.J. Oshie that capped a hat trick but needed video review in order to be verified....
"It's Never Happened Before," Chris Berman Claims Of Thing That Happened Many Times Before
Chris Berman’s continued presence on ESPN’s NFL draft coverage is baffling. Here’s the Worldwide Leader’s biggest buffoon claiming no school had ever had three players drafted in the top ten picks before tonight. That, of course, has happened numerous times before....
Oh Hey, The Ducks Shit The Bed Again
The Predators franchise had never played a Game 7 before, and only six players on the roster had ever been in a winner-take-all game for other teams. Maybe, the Ducks might say, that was an advantage....
The Rockets Are Dead, Fucking Finally
The Houston Rockets are so obviously talented. They have a genuine superstar scorer, and they’ve surrounded him with a point guard who just wants to pass the ball and injure dudes, a rangy, athletic crop of combo forwards, and one of the most dominant defensive centers of the past decade. Last year,...
DeAndre Jordan Jams It All Over An Unsuspecting Mason Plumlee
The ragged, depleted Clippers are locked in an entertaining Game 5 rubber match with the Blazers down in Los Angeles, and no matter how many fans did or did not show up, someone’s gonna leave with a crucial 3-2 series lead. In the third quarter, Mason Plumlee got cute trying to figure out help cover...
Somehow, The Hornets Are On The Verge Of The Second Round
Before the Hornets beat the Miami Heat on Saturday, they had lost 12 straight playoff games, dating back to 2001. In that timespan, the Heat won three titles and made it to the finals two other times. The two teams finished with the same regular-season record this season, but the Heat were considere...
Islanders Coach Jack Capuano Takes Puck To The Face
Just like the traditional hockey saying goes: One minute, your team is up 4-2 in Game 1 of your second-round series, the next minute you’re in the locker room, bleeding from the head after a hockey puck smashes into your face....
And Now, The Story Of How Nick Young Almost Got "Born Reble" Tattooed On His Back
Here is a story of love, hacking, misspellings, “Becky”, and tattoos, in seven tweets:...
Fans: Don't Heckle Mathieu Valbuena About Benzema, Or You Might Get Your Phone Smashed
Youssef, a 38-year-old Toulouse fan with a cranial disability, readily cops to behaving like a dick. Watching Lyon players filter into the team bus after flying into Toulouse last Friday ahead of the weekend’s game, Youssef and his 12-year-old son were on hand to throw some verbal barbs at the rival...
That'll Do, Eastern Conference. That'll Do.
A depressing realization dawned on me as I struggled to stay awake through last night’s Game 5s in Atlanta and Toronto: These teams are shitty. Make a squad of the 10 best players from these four teams—the Hawks, Celtics, Pacers, and Raptors—and any of the West’s top three teams would put it down in...
Reporter Who Asked Draymond Green That Odd Question About The Houston Floods Gets Fired
After the Warriors beat the Rockets in Game 4 on Sunday, a reporter started to ask Draymond Green a strange question about the connection between the floods in Houston and his team’s performance when Green stopped him and went off on the guy for over a minute. Green said that the reporter had tried ...
