Noah Syndergaard, Clearly Inspired By Bartolo Colon, Slapped A Pair Of Dingers (UPDATE: He Actually Was)
Bartolo Colon is now a power hitter, but he’s always been a source of wisdom and knowledge. As the wizened sage of the Mets’ pitching staff, his job is to lead by example. Apparently content with his teachings on how to dominate from the mound, it appears Bartolo has moved on to teaching his flock h...
Bismack Biyombo Is A Maniac
Look at this incredible dunk-block-dunk sequence from Congolese big man Bismack Biyombo....
Someone Put Bartolo Colon's First Homer In <i>The Natural</i>, Where It Belongs
This is just a fantastic mash-up of Bartolo Colon’s delightful home run and the climactic scene from The Natural. ...
A Russell Westbrook Rebound Is An Event
If you watch enough sports, you learn to anticipate when something cool is about to happen. You know what’s coming after Steph Curry spins his defender with a bouncing crossover beyond the three-point line, or when Adrian Peterson gets a safety one-on-one in the open field, or when Chris Sale works ...
There's No Secret To Why The Capitals Lost
“We didn’t really play good enough for long enough,” Braden Holtby said. The Washington Capitals were very good, over a very long season, but even good teams falter when they run into better ones. ...
How The Hell Did Jay Beagle Make That Game-Saving Block?
The Pittsburgh Penguins dispatched the Washington Capitals 4-3 in overtime tonight in Pittsburgh, weathering a furious third-period comeback and eventually winning on a Nick Bonino tap-in. However, it could have ended earlier in overtime, had Jay Beagle not morphed into Superman and dove across the ...
Somehow, The Thunder Are A Game Away From Bouncing The Spurs
The San Antonio Spurs had a historically great regular season, whipped the life out of the Oklahoma City Thunder in Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals, but somehow they’re just one game from elimination after the Thunder beat them 95-91 thanks to a rugged performance from Russell Westbrook ...
Step Aside Sports Baby Pretenders, Riley Curry Is Back
Riley Curry’s dad won his second consecutive MVP award this afternoon. Good for him! He won it unanimously, but that didn’t stop Riley here from warning voters that if they don’t vote for him next year, there’ll be trouble....
The Blues Wouldn't <i>Really</i> Bench Brian Elliott For Game 7. Right?
It was a bad night for Blues goalie Brian Elliott, yanked after allowing three goals—against just four saves—in the first period of Dallas’s 3-2 win. Bad nights happen. But is there really a chance that Elliott was so out of sorts that Jake Allen will get the nod in Wednesday’s Game 7? Ken Hitchcock...
What The Hell Is Dwane Casey Doing?
Raptors head coach Dwane Casey has been put in an extremely unenviable position as he tries to guide his team to the Eastern Conference Finals. Kyle Lowry and DeMar DeRozan have had their abilities banished to the Negative Zone, Jonas Valanciunas is out with a knee injury, and his most reliable scor...
The Predators Have Something Left In The Tank
The Predators are counter-punchers. They fought back from 3-2 down to make it to the second round. They fought back from being outplayed in the multiple overtimes of Game 4 against the Sharks to snatch a win. With their backs up against the wall again last night, they fought back from an early two-g...
All Hail Steph Curry
I didn’t think Steph Curry would play tonight. He probably didn’t think he’d log 37 minutes tonight. His coach didn’t plan to let Curry loose and have him take a third of the Warriors’ shots, and yet, he torched the Blazers for 40 points on 32 shots to lead the Warriors to a crazy 132-125 win in the...
The Raptors Are Bad, The Heat Are Bad, But Dwyane Wade Is Good
For the fourth time in four games, Toronto and Miami played a boring, ugly slog of a game where entertaining chunks only ever intermittently floated up through a soup of mediocre, dumb basketball. A brief summary: The two teams combined for 42 percent shooting and 26 turnovers; Goran Dragic getting ...
After 50 Minutes Of Mistreatment, Basketball Seeks Refuge Away From Players
It’s rare we can call a playoff overtime basketball game anything less than “good,” but the Raptors and Heat went out of their way to provide viewers and spectators the most inept display of postseason basketball possible. Late in overtime, the basketball itself said “enough.”...

McLovin And Frank Isola Got Into A Great Twitter Fight About The Knicks And <i>Pitch Perfect</i>
Chris Mintz-Plasse of McLovin fame is a Celtics fan and a good Twitter user, and about a month ago, he laid down a Frank Isola burn in vague response to this Mike Lupica column....
A Bunch Of Bros In Pastel Shirts Brawled At The Kentucky Oaks
At this Friday’s Kentucky Oaks, the bros in attendance were feeling feisty. ...
The Thunder Need Kevin Durant To Hulk Out
The story of yesterday’s Game 4 between the Spurs and Thunder is obviously Kevin Durant, who led the Thunder to victory with 41 points and outscored San Antonio 17-16 in the fourth quarter. But just as important as all the shots Durant made were all the shots Russell Westbrook didn’t take....
Canadian Politicians Have Pushed Their Way Into The Dwyane Wade "O Canada" Controversy
One Canadian legislator is demanding an apology from Dwyane Wade and Toronto city politicians are speaking out after the Miami star was caught on camera warming up during the performance of “O Canada” before Saturday’s Raptors-Heat game....
Aroldis Chapman Still Says He Did Nothing Wrong
Aroldis Chapman returns to the Yankees today after serving his 30-game domestic violence suspension, but the fireballing reliever has yet to take much responsibility for the incident that landed him on MLB’s banned list....
