Remember When Kevin Durant Thought Stephen Curry Was White?

August 21, 2014 By Nick A.

When players make it to the NBA, many of the times, this isn’t the first time these players have seen each other. I’m not saying that they meet for the first time in college or pre-draft workouts. I’m talking about going way back. Like, elementary school back. Earlier in the week, Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, […]

Landon Donovan Doesn’t Remember Being Cut By Team USA

Landon Donovan Doesn't Remember Being Cut By Team USA

Landon Donovan is really milking this whole “I’ve been cut by the U.S. men’s national soccer team” bit. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a guy really use the whole “I’ve been cut by the U.S. men’s national soccer team” as much as he has to make money. I mean, have you? And if you don’t […]

Hunter Pence Gets Some Bizarre & Hilarious Taunts

Hunter Pence Gets Some Bizarre & Hilarious Taunts

I don’t know what Hunter Pence did to get some of these weird taunts from fans, but I’m glad he did it. It’s easy to taunt a player on the opposing team when he’s an All-Star like the San Francisco Giants outfielder, but the shots that the opposing fans have been taking at Pence lately […]

The New York Mets Can't Even Do A Giveaway Correctly

The New York Mets tried to do something nice for their fans this week. The only problem is, they got more laughs than cheers, especially from Phillies fans. A few days ago, the Mets decided to give away a toy truck to the first 15,000 fans that came to their game. The only problem is, […]

Minnesota Twins Sign Former Truck Driver Who Throws 100 MPH

Minnesota Twins Sign Former Truck Driver Who Throws 100 MPH

You gotta give major league scouts credit. They can dig up talent anywhere. The Minnesota Twins signed pitcher Brandon Poulson for $250,000, who was playing for the Healdsburg Prune Packers of the Golden State Collegiate Baseball League. I’ve never heard of the team or this league before today and have no idea how the Twins […]

Patrick Peterson Says He’s The Best, Madden NFL 15 Says No

Patrick Peterson Says He's The Best, Madden NFL 15 Says No

Today was mostly a good day for Patrick Peterson. First, the Arizona Cardinals’ cornerback signed a new contract that made him the highest paid cornerback in the league. How much did he get? Oh, only a five-year contract worth $70 million, with $48 million guaranteed. That should buy him a nice new pad in Scottsdale. […]

Reds' Aroldis Chapman Throws Very, Very Hard

So it’s no secret that Cincinnati Reds pitcher Aroldis Chapman is one of the hardest throwing pitchers in Major League Baseball history. For crying out loud, the guy hold the record for the fastest pitch ever throw when he topped out on the radar at 105.1 mph. Well, on Monday night against the Arizona Diamondbacks, […]

VIDEO: You Be The Judge & See If Derek Rose's Knee Is Okay

Forty-nine. That’s how many games Derrick Rose has played since his 2011 MVP season. I, personally, am a huge fan of Rose and have missed him ever since he tore his ACL against the Philadelphia 76ers in their playoff game in 2012. I’ve waited years for him to rehab and get back into playing shape and […]

See Ya, Donald Sterling! Judges OK's The Sale Of Clippers

Finally! We’re moving forward. After months of bickering and a bunch of he said, she said b.s., an LA superior court judge ruled that Donald Sterling’s wife, Shelley Sterling, lawfully reached an agreement to sell the Los Angeles Clippers to former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer. I’m not going to write much more beyond this for two […]

VIDEO: Frank Thomas Gives Emotionally Great Hall Of Fame Speech

The Big Hurt shows that even the biggest of men have a soft spot for their family. Today Frank Thomas, along with many other greats, was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame. For those of you who didn’t have the chance to watch this man play during his prime with the Chicago White Sox probably […]
