Trae Young Is Letting It Fly
Trae Young was a tempting punchline leading up to the draft, and even for sometime after. You can count me among those doubters, at least to the extent that I foresaw a future in which he the teeny depraved chucker would get steadily shredded on the other end of the floor. Which is to say, I foresaw...
I Am The Youngest Pro Shuffleboard Player In Florida
It’s 9:05 a.m. While my friends and pretty much everyone my own age are getting settled behind desks and spreadsheets and scheduling the day’s meetings, I’m surrounded by senior citizens, about to make the first shot of my pro season. It’s already 90 degrees and my bald head is pouring sweat into my...
Trae Young Did A Very Trae Young Thing To Beat The Spurs
Look, I know it’s just preseason, and just a few hours ago I yelled, “You’re all freaks!” at my colleagues because they preferred to watch pointless NBA games tonight instead of a competitive Stanley Cup Final rematch. But this game-winning trey from Trae Young is worth your time, even if you’re a h...
Cristiano Ronaldo Told He CANNOT Play Against Young Boys<em></em>
Young Boys can rest easy, knowing that this menace has been forbidden from going at them....
Let's See If The Indie Wrestling Supershow Can Deliver On The Hype
Several months after it first made history, the indie wrestling supershow “All In” is here. On Saturday night, the much-hyped, self-funded brainchild of Cody Rhodes and The Young Bucks will, after months upon months of speculation and buzz and promotion and noise, finally become real in front of ove...
Under No Circumstances Will You Ever Guess Which Utah Jazz Rookie Provoked A Tussle With Trae Young
The dreaded Grayson Allen started Thursday night’s Hawks-Jazz Summer League tilt in Salt Lake City. You will be very glad to know that he’s shooting poorly and struggling to score (two points on 1-of-10 shooting through three quarters, but a tidy eight assists to zero turnovers). You will not be sur...
Summer League Takeaways: Jaren Jackson Is A God, And Trae Young Is A Bum
The NBA Summer League kicked off Monday night with a battle between the Hawks and the Grizzlies, which Memphis won 103-88. In those four quarters, we learned everything we needed to know about each team’s marquee draft picks. Jaren Jackson Jr., the fourth pick for Memphis out of Michigan State, is o...
Nick Young Was Just Joshing When He Said Everybody Should Do Cocaine
As a shoot-first, think-second gunner off the Warriors’ bench, Nick Young is already the closest thing the NBA has to a human line of cocaine. But when Swaggy P calls for the legalization of coke on a TMZ camera while leaving the club on a Tuesday night, he wants y’all to know he’s just kidding....
A Regular Reminder That Being An Idiot On The Field Can Be Hazardous To Your Health [UPDATE]
BC Lions defensive back Marcell Young made quick work of an Idiot On The Field who interrupted his team’s CFL opener against Montreal tonight. Good night, buddy. Update (June 17, 1:19 a.m.): We have an alternate angle now!...
We Now Live In A World Where Nick Young Is An NBA Champion
It was otherwise a shitty, forgettable NBA Finals series, but at least it produced this fascinating outcome: Nick Young (!) joins fellow Cinnamon Challenge hero and former Wizards knucklehead JaVale McGee (!!) as an NBA champion. The sheer improbability of Nick Young finding a role on a championship...
Behold This Large Lad Hitting His First Home Run At The Most Opportune Moment
Cal State Fullerton lists freshman Jace Chamberlin—not “Chamberlain” and no relationship to Joba, that I can find record of—at 6-foot-4 and 240 pounds. The Los Angeles Times writes that he “got the nickname ‘Jumbo’ earlier this year on a trip to New Orleans due to his affinity for jambalaya.” Emphas...
All Routine Groundouts Should Look Like This
When you’ve reached the “playing for the Salt Lake Bees” point of your baseball career, it’s perfectly reasonable to have some fun with it. Eric Young Jr., erstwhile MLB speedster and veteran of 610 big league games over nine seasons, showed how this was done in a game on Sunday. ...
The "All In" Anti-WWE Supershow Sold More Than 10,000 Tickets. What's Next?
One year ago today, a random Twitter user tweeted at Wrestling Observer Newsletter editor Dave Meltzer to ask if he thought that Ring of Honor, the number two pro wrestling promotion in the United States, could sell out a 10,000 seat arena. Meltzer didn’t think so, but Cody Rhodes, a regular in the ...
The Wizards Of Aughts: The Post-Millennium Washington Wizards And The Bloggers Who Immortalized Them
The late-model Washington Wizards are broadly competent, secretly mediocre, spotty, and more boring than they are not. They could be nutshelled as an equal and opposite reaction to their counterparts of a decade ago. Those Wiz teams, which weren’t better but sure were stranger, boasted a bigger coll...
Soccer Fans Are Back To Hurling Yellow, Banana-Shaped Objects At Black Players [UPDATE]
A fan in Manchester threw a yellow, banana-shaped object onto the pitch early in today’s City-United derby either at Man City’s Raheem Sterling or United’s Ashley Young, both of whom are black....
Jeff Fisher's Reason For Ignoring Vince Young's Apology Letter Is Just As Petty And Dumb As You'd Expect
Tucked into Vince Young’s bitter on-shitting of former head coach Jeff Fisher last summer was Young’s assertion that he’d once sent Fisher a letter “apologizing for his immaturity,” and that the letter had gone unanswered, which apparently indicated to Young that Fisher “doesn’t give two shits” abou...
Trae Young Couldn't Carry His Whole Team
Oklahoma’s Trae Young almost certainly just played the last game of his NCAA career, and he busted his ass. Today’s 83-78 overtime loss to Rhode Island featured the entire Rams team each making important contributions, while Young put practically all of his Sooner teammates on his back....
Oklahoma Needs To Get Out Of The Trash Heap Fast
It was only two months ago that Trae Young’s Oklahoma team was ranked fourth in the nation. With the most exciting player in the country leading the way, the Sooners improved drastically from an awful 2017 season, riding a 14-2 start that turned their freshman point guard into a national fascination...
The Biggest Indie Wrestling Show Ever Is Officially Coming to Chicago
After months of speculation, one of the year’s biggest pro wrestling stories fully took shape on Monday night.

Nick Young's Irrational Confidence Almost, Kinda, Sorta Works
Nick Young did not come close to making this shot. Not remotely. But he played it off as if he did, and sometimes that’s all you need. Announcer Bob Fitzgerald fell for it, hard. ...
