Chris Paul is clever, and he won't let Marreese Speights celebrate his dunk on Big Baby for too long: Got 'em with the "throw yourself at someone's legs and act like they knocked you down" move. Very nice.from SBNation.com - All Posts http://ift.tt/1xVR...

Who knew?Ever try doing a spin move with your team's center in a video game? He either loses control of the ball or boots it off his foot or something horrible. But it turns out some big men have handles. And Glen Davis is one of them: NOW YOU KNOW WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO GET BURNT, STEPH CURRY.Cut Chris Paul right now and let Big Baby run the point. It'll ruin the Clippers as a franchise, but it'll be worth it.Our previous Glen Davis updates have...

A neutral ground friendly saw Mexico come away 1-0 winners against an aggressive but vulnerable Paraguay team.Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City was rocking to a decidedly Latin beat when Mexico squared off with Paraguay in a neutral-ground friendly on Tuesday night.

TNT announcer Kevin Harlan's got a thing for Batman villain impressions.

NASCAR penalized Ryan Newman severely, but the long-term impact may be minimal.You don't mess with anything related to the engine, tires or fuel has long been the edict from NASCAR, and if a violation is found the penalties will be unforgiving. That principle has long been the guiding force when infractions were unearthed and sanctions levied.And once again NASCAR made its policy crystal clear Tuesday, when Ryan Newman and Richard Childress Racing...

Like the national championship game was on the line.Mario Chalmers shot this ball with 1.6 seconds left. That's 1.6 seconds he totally could've dribbled closer to the basket, which generally makes hitting a basketball shot easier. But whatever -- this was so easy: from SBNation.com - All Posts http://ift.tt/1F0G...

Luongo's desperation kept Florida alive in a huge game.An important two points were on the table between the Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins on Tuesday, and Roberto Luongo must have gotten the memo.With his Panthers up 2-1 in the third period in Boston, the Bruins fired a shot from the point in on Luongo. Bruins winger Carl Soderberg quickly collected the rebound and tried to snipe it into the net, but Luongo made a blind, desperate lunge at the...

This is uncanny.

Fire is way better than presidents, actors or baseball legends. Get with the times, MLB.The KT Wiz of the Korean Baseball Organization played their first-ever game on Tuesday.

It started with a simple enough question about FIFA. Then it got NSFW.A reporter at Wisconsin's Final Four media day innocuously asked Frank Kaminsky about his FIFA prowess. It started out okay, as Kaminsky furiously defended his talents while his teammates derided them.

A late Andros Townsend wondergoal rescued England a draw away in Italy on Tuesday.Italy were held to a 1-1 draw at home to England in Tuesday's friendly in Turin.

You can't do that. Those are really bad words. Jozy Altidore was pretty surprised and upset that he got sent off, even though he swore at the referee quite a few times.

The card is based on his spring stats, so dingers ahoy.Under-the-radar prospect Kris Bryant plays for the low-profile Cubs, and there's been a quiet decision to send him to the minors. You probably haven't heard about it. However, his deceptively productive spring (.425 average, .489 on-base percentage, nine home runs in 40 at-bats) means that a Strat-O-Matic card based on his stats is absolutely goofy.@SBNation @mccoveychron Strat-O-Matic card for...

It's funny because he didn't lose an eye!Hockey defensemen have to get creative when they're blocking shots. You can't just use a hockey stick, you have to get physical and use your body.

It is meant to train prospective football coaches in the art and science of managing the travails of the offseason.Any fun you may have, or amusement you may find, while piloting this simulator is purely accidental, and should be reported as a software bug.This "video game," if you would like to call it that, is...

A lot of NFL teams need a coverage safety. Unfortunately this isn't the draft to get one.It is not a particularly good year to be taking a safety. There is no Eric Berry or Earl Thomas in the 2015 NFL Draft. That’s bad news because a lot of teams need coverage safeties. We saw in free agency how fast coverage safeties came off the market and the high prices they required.The top safety this year is Alabama’s Landon Collins. His best asset is his...

The reigning Stanley Cup champions are in serious danger of missing the playoffs.According to the metrics, eye test and common sense, the Los Angeles Kings should be considered one of the NHL's best teams in 2014-15.
