The biggest story of the NBA drafts first round was the Bulls and Timberwolves swapping picks as part of a trade that sent Jimmy Butler to Minnesota in an absurdly low package. Apart from that, things unfolded largely without incident. Kristaps Porzingis is still a Knick, Paul George is still a Pacer, the world still&
As expected, the Lakers selected UCLA point guard Lonzo Ball with the second overall pick of tonights NBA draft. As expected, his father LaVar Ball had some grand proclamations to make beforehand. (Mainly that he had it on the good authority of Zeus and Jesus themselves that Lonzo would be drafted by the Lakers.)
Its been a bad year for the Blue Jays. And while its gotten a little better in the last month or soand much better since, say, their 1-9 startthey still just cant manage to pull themselves to .500, even as theyve continually hovered just under the mark.
Please, for your own sake, throw out those faded, stretched out t-shirts and the pairs of socks that your big toe goes through. Itll be okay, I promise. Now head over to H&M and take up to 60% off during their one-day flash sale. Everything from tees and tanks to dresses, even jackets and coats are marked down, so&
With Markelle Fultz and Lonzo Ball sure things at 1 and 2, the biggest drama on draft night was the Celtics pick at No. 3. Danny Ainge, president of basketball operations, said Boston was going to get the same player at 3 that they would have wanted at No. 1. That was undoubtedly a wing, who would fit in better with&
In the eighth inning of last nights 6-3 Dodgers win, one Mets fan decided he could make a one-handed play on a foul ball with a baby already in the other arm. He did, I suppose, though Im not sure the babys mother would agree with his decision-making.
Rather than pay attention to his team, barely heading off a meltdown and somehow ending up with a really good draft night, Knicks owner James Dolan played a set in lower Manhattan. He was interrupted about halfway through by two men in suits telling him hes a bad singer.
Becoming a regular columnist at a prestigious newspaper is one of the cushiest and most coveted jobs in journalism. Strangely, almost every newspaper columnist sucks. Maybe the problem is the entire concept.
Cooking eggs isnt exactly rocket science, but Id say the ability to make soft, medium, and hard boiled eggs, plus omelettes and poached eggs at the touch of a button is worth $15. The Dash Go is Amazons top-selling egg cooker, and carries a truly stellar 4.5 star review average from nearly 3,000 customers, so get&
The Villages, a hilariously-large retirement community in Florida, is the fastest-growing city in the countrywith more than 117,000 people, 48 golf courses, geriatric sex (with a resulting high rate of STDs), and absolutely no children (theyre only permitted to visit for up to 30 days a year). Residents primarily &
Cassius Marsh is known for tackling ball carriers as an NFL linebacker, but the Seattle Seahawks 64, 245-pound frame recently proved entirely useless in the mental athletics of Magic: the Gathering.
In 2015, former world No. 4 tennis player James Blake was tackled and handcuffed outside a midtown Manhattan hotel by a New York City police officer who mistook him for a suspect in a credit card fraud case. Blake had a sound case against the city: the entire incident was captured on surveillance video, and NYCs&
Anyone with internet access can figure out the NBA Draft minutes before the picks are announced on TV. Adrian Wojnarowski used to spoil the ceremony, and now the task has been seemingly taken over by Wojbomb apprentice Shams Charania. But last night, even the people at the draft were spoiling the picks loudly enough&
The Blackhawks have won three championships in the last eight seasons, and inevitable with that kind of success is being caught in an ongoing salary cap nightmare. Chicago GM Stan Bowman has had to make some unpleasant moves over the years to stay under the cap, one of his more notable deals sending Brandon Saad to&
Maria Sharapovas management agency made a 55-minute, highly-produced, glorified advertisement that theyre calling a documentary about her 15-month suspension from tennis after failing a drug test at the 2016 Australian Open. The movie has all the trimmings of a documentarytight shots of Sharapova sitting cuddled up&
Markelle Fultz, taken first overall by the Sixers last night, has a column today in The Players Tribune. While it doesnt quite reach the levels of Dion Waiterss opus in April, its pretty good. Fultz shows off some personality. He says Joel Embiid has texted him 75 times since he visited Philly. He also notes that&
In a surprise move, the Chiefs fired general manager John Dorsey yesterday. The decision is odd enough on its own, considering Kansas City had made the playoffs in three of Dorseys four seasons, to say nothing of the late-June timing of it all. But thats not even the weirdest part. Dorseys firing is the capstone of&
The Baltimore Orioles have allowed five or more runs in each of their last 19 games, and tonight, they have a chance to tie the all-time record for most consecutive games with five or more runs allowed.
Sports Illustrated experimented with just what you can put on a supermarket rack without a plastic cover way back in 2015 when the cover of their swimsuit issue featured model Hannah Davis (now Jeter) pulling her bikini bottoms down to her vulva, but have you checked in lately? At this point, the SI swimsuit Twitter&

A Michigan judge ruled Friday that Larry Nassar, the former USA Gymnastics and Michigan State doctor facing dozens of allegations of sexual assault from former patients spanning the past two decades, will stand trial for 12 counts of criminal sexual conduct.
Its been less than a week since Bill Cosbys trial for sexual assault ended in a mistrial, but the public relations campaign to reclaim his image as Americas father figure is already well underway. Though more than 50 women have accused him of sexual misconduct, his spokesman told Fusion this week that Cosby&
Heather Connor is a 26-year-old personal trainer and powerlifter from North Carolina. She is also the 2017 International Powerlifting Federations Open Raw World Champion, yesterday beating out 12 other women from countries around the world with her raw power and propensity to like, yelp, while lifting a bunch of&
