The Los Angeles Lakers just sent out a tweet of their team breaking from the huddle after cheering "1, 2, 3 championship!" Laker fans are retweeting the hell out of it.

Google Translating World Baseball Classic Coverage: "The Shortstop, Jimmy Rollins Hit Embazó With The Forest Law"

Last night, the U.S. played its first game in this year's World Baseball Classic, and we learned a number of things: 1. America's official language is English, 2. The best the U.S. can do for an ace in an international competition is a kuckle-balling 38-year old, and 3. "With people on the pads, Lui...

Here's A Picture Of Rob Gronkowski Hanging Out With Some Girls In A Boston Hotel

A friendly tipster writes in: "is this the Gonk with 8 party girls in a Boston hotel room last night? I'll let you decide." Thank you. Short answer: No. But it does look to be Rob Gronkowski hanging out in a hotel room with five (four and a half?) girls, plus the one that took the picture, so we're ...

"You Were Treated To A Treat!" Canadian College Basketball Announcers Lose Their Shit Over Fantastic Finish

In our group chat system, this was the first observation one of us made about the video above: "Canadian college basketball players are fat."

Who Shot? J.R.: Why We Love The Knicks' Gunner

Here are all the players in NBA history who shot 29 or more times in a game but attempted two or fewer free throws. It's quite the list, really. Among other things, it's also a pretty good list of the best fadeaway artists in NBA history. You can almost see these games in your head. Catch-and-shoot...

The Citi Field Amway Store Has A Juice Bar That Doesn't Sell Juice

Lost in all of the hullabaloo about the New York Mets' tone deaf decision to lease a Citi Field storefront to Amway was any kind of explanation regarding what exactly is inside of an Amway store. What use does a company that makes its profits via the Sisyphean efforts of Independent Business Owners...

What Can You Learn From The Carolina Panthers' Leaked Financials? Ask A Sports Economist

There's still a lot to unpack in the Carolina Panthers' financial statement, which we published Thursday. That document showed the team bringing in $112 million in operating profit over a recent two-year period, one that saw owner Jerry Richardson pleading hardship on behalf of his fellow NFL plutoc...

Wyoming Fans Chanted "Alcoholic!" At A Coach Who's A Recovering Alcoholic

File this one next to Duke fans (maybe) chanting "How's your grandma?" at a player whose grandmother had recently died. Next month, Colorado State basketball coach Larry Eustachy will have been sober for 10 years. It's also been 10 years since Eustachy was infamously photographed drinking with stude...

Leaked NFL Documents: While Owner Cried Hardship, Carolina Panthers Had $112 Million Profit Over Two Years [UPDATE]

In 2010 and 2011, as the NFL prepared for and staged a lockout of its players, Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was among the hardest of the hardliners, urging his fellow owners to "take back our league" by demanding a more management-friendly collective-bargaining agreement....

Every morning, the fine folks at Sports Radio Interviews sift through the a.m. drive-time chatter to bring you the best interviews with coaches, players, and personalities across the sports landscape. Today: The Knicks coach takes the blame for this one....

Yankees old and bad....

Will The NHL Mandate Visors Before Someone Loses An Eye And A Career?

There's been no update on Rangers defenseman Marc Staal, who left the game after taking a deflected puck in the eye. He did not go to the hospital, which is great news. (The puck appears to have struck just above the soft tissue, in the brow or orbit. It was only a matter of chance and of millimeter...

The Public-Funding-For-Stadiums Hustle Comes To Spring Training

Every day, it seems, another team in another sport is begging local government to pay for its stupid stadium upgrades—luxury boxes, video boards, home-run whirligigs. And seemingly every other day, more or less, municipalities give into the bullying....

Brian Cashman Looks Pretty Chill For A Guy Who Just Had Ankle Surgery

So it turns out that Brian Cashman's skydiving mishap from earlier today probably didn't result in him suffering a compound fracture. That's good, because compound fractures are gross. Cashman did end up with a broken fibula and a dislocated ankle, though, and he just got out of surgery for the lat...

Brian Cashman Looks Pretty Chill For A Guy Who Just Suffered A Compound Fracture

Yankees GM Brian Cashman went skydiving today in order to help raise awareness for the U.S. Army's Wounded Warriors project. Things were going fine until Cashman's second jump, when he broke his ankle so severely that the bone came bursting through his flesh....

Patrick Kaleta Deserves A Long, Unpaid Vacation For This Hit From Behind

Noted Buffalo dirtball Patrick Kaleta has been somewhat quiet recently—slipping all the way to a career-low 10th on the most-hated players list, but he's angling to get back among the leaders after this brutal cross-check that sent New York's Brad Richards headfirst into the boards....

Sixth-Grader Hits Half-Court Buzzer-Beater

With two seconds left in a 33-33 tie in the Central Louden Loudoun (VA) Basketball League's championship game, Team Red attempted to inbound the ball but it was picked off by Alex, of Team White, who promptly drained it from half court....

Arsenal Fans Throw A Banana On The Pitch

It's being reported as a banana thrown at Gareth Bale, but that does not really make much sense. Not that racism makes sense, but usually the racist European soccer fan reserves his banana-related taunts for black players. As you see in the video, the referee clearly picks up a banana thrown on th...

The Islanders And Nassau County Are Getting Divorced, So It's Time To Pay Up

This we knew, but now things are getting ugly. Even setting aside the actual product on the ice for a moment, the recent history of the Islanders in Nassau County has been miserable. A terrible lease for a terrible arena has kept them shackled in a county that can't afford to pay for anything even ...
