Derrick Rose Injured In Final Minutes Of Game 1 Win Over Philadelphia 76ers
For some reason, Derrick Rose was on the court for the Chicago Bulls with a 12-point lead and a little more than a minute left in the series opener against the Sixers. Driving to the basket, he planted awkwardly and almost immediately fell out of midair in pain. Chicago would go on to win the batt...

Scott Hairston Hits For Cycle, Mets Get Clobbered
Scott Hairston did that cool and meaningless thing where a player gets all the different kinds of hits possible in one game. Sadly, it was not a "natural" cycle, an even more meaningless occurrence made remarkable by the order in which the hits are made. The Mets, on the other hand, did that uncool...

This Is The Face Of A Hockey Player

Do You Deserve That Foul Ball? Consult This Handy Chart
There's some impassioned debate going on in the comments on the post about the couple in Texas failing to surrender a foul ball to the weeping child beside them. What are the real rules, here?

Here's How Racists On Twitter Reacted to Joel Ward's Series-Winning Goal Against Boston
Joel Ward is a light-scoring winger for the Capitals, who was in the right place and the right time to put home the overtime series-winner to send Washington past Boston in game 7. Completely unrelated, for most of us, is that Ward's parents were Barbadian immigrants to Toronto. So there were a good...

An unfortunate scene unfolded in Arlington tonight as a pair of Rangers fans caught a foul ball tossed into the stands by Mitch Moreland in the eighth inning of Rangers-Yankees, then refused to give the ball to the toddler sitting next to them—instead choosing to pose for pictures and generally beh...
Now's Your Chance To Buy The House Rob Gronkowski Grew Up In
The listing describes this "stately colonial" in the Buffalo, N.Y., suburb of Amherst as "fantastic and gracious." The house sits on 5.1 acres and has four bedrooms, three-and-a-half bathrooms, an oversized in-ground pool and hot tub, and tennis and basketball courts. But that's not all! A source te...
Devils Fan Ridiculed By Panthers President For Lack Of Twitter Followers Now Has More Followers Than He Does
It's been two days since the Florida Panthers launched a concerted effort to blame visiting Devils fans for disrupting play by chucking rubber rats on the ice, despite the fact that it's a Panthers tradition and they sell the damn things for $5 in the arena. (And collect them to resell after they're...

A Monumental Day For MLB, As Pirates And Rockies Debut Historic 26-Man Rosters
As part of the new collective bargaining agreement, MLB has some new rules. Some will have major effects on the sport, including playoffs, scheduling and free agency. Others are mere footnotes. This is in no way one of the mere footnotes....
Rich Bros' "Ragematch" At Elite Athletic Club Leads To Arrests, Shame
The New York Athletic Club is the most prestigious private sports club in the country. It was founded in 1868, costs $8,000 to join (plus $3,000 more every year), and has produced more than 230 Olympic medalists. And yet, even the hallowed halls of this architectural landmark aren't immune to good ...
How To Make A Pipe Out Of <em>ESPN The Magazine</em>'s Stupid Weed-Panic Issue
The latest issue of ESPN The Magazine contains a feature by Mark Schlabach about college football's marijuana "problem." It is, as we've noted, one of the most useless sports-and-drugs stories ever committed to paper. But not entirely useless! The video above provides step-by-step instructions f...

Jason Bay Is Bad At Defense And Also At Not Hurting Himself
Jason Bay has never been known for his glove (or hasn't he?), and in recent years he hasn't been known for his bat. So maybe that's why he gave 110 percent last night in trying to track down a fly ball off the bat of Gregor Blanco. A valiant effort, and a ton of glove on the ball, but all Bay has t...
SNY Is Now Trolling Its Own Audience
It's bad enough that the Giants swept the Mets in yesterday's twin bill (starring Jason Bay!). The injury came with insult, though, in the form of this fullscreen outlining exactly how successful Mets pitchers have become once they've elevated themselves to ex-Met status (the most recent, of course...
Andruw Jones Used A Rangers Fan As His Outfield Toss Warmup Partner Tonight
Yankees outfielder (and former Ranger) Andruw Jones had some fun with a Texas fan tonight before the bottom of the ninth inning of New York's 7-4 win. We don't know if Jones angered or somehow otherwise lost his normal warmup partner or if he took a fan at his word to throw the ball back, but we ...
