Yeah, but the difference is that Manning's injury is one that can be quantified and comes with all kinds of signals as to whether he can play through it. If his neck hurts and he can't throw: he doesn't play. If it doesn't hurt and he can throw: he plays. Brain injuries aren't so black-and-white, and yet are far more… Read more
The posturing for a more lucrative contract angle doesn't really work, because everybody already knows that he is a max player. Any team that doesn't offer him a max deal is going to immediately fall out of the running, so Paul doesn't need to try and coax any money out of anyone.
Atlanta is an intriguing option, but I… Read more

My intent wasn't to be a Heat apologist, or argue that LeBron should have been kept in the game just because he's LeBron. I thought the moving-screen foul was a call that shouldn't have been made on anyone at that point in the game, not just LeBron. It was just an extra bummer that it happened to LeBron because it… Read more
New York: Cavs win the draft lottery
The Cleveland Cavaliers won the lottery for the second time in three years, and now have the option of gambling on Nerlens Noel's surgically repaired knee, or drafting Ben McLemore and hoping that having him and Dion Waiters on the same team isn't completely redundant.
Cleveland: Tigers 5, Indians 1
Max Scherzer did that thing where he can look like one of the best pitchers in the game when he wants to. After giving up one run in the first inning, he retired 22 straight and finished with seven strikeouts in eight innings.
Heathrow: Sergio Garcia gets racist
OK, yeah, Sergio Garcia can go fuck himself.
Anaheim: Angels 12, Mariners 0
Mike Trout became the youngest American League player to ever hit for the cycle, because Mike Trout is the fucking man.
San Jose: Sharks 2, Kings 1
The Kings continue to suck on the road, and the Sharks even up the series at 2-2. Along with the loss, the Kings got themselves a PR disaster out of the game. Cool rape joke, bro!
New York: Bruins 2, Rangers 1
The Bruins rode a two-goal rally in the third period to take a 3-0 series lead. Hey, wouldn't it be neat if a New York team came back from a 3-0 deficit against a Boston team? Kind of like a reverse of the 2004 Re—[falls off cliff]
San Antonio: Spurs 93, Grizzlies 89
Well, that was a weird game. For about three-and-a-half quarters, it looked like we had a brick-laden blowout on our hands. Somehow, the Grizz came storming back (read: the Spurs couldn't hit a shot), and we ended up with an overtime thriller of sorts. We also got this guy, so good…
Los Angeles: Dwight Howard has frustrations
Dwight says he wasn't properly utilized by Mike D'Antoni this year. Please shut up, Dwight Howard.
San Francisco: Giants 8, Nationals 0
Bryce Harper returned to the starting lineup, but he couldn't do anything to save his team from getting shut out. Nats reliever Ryan Mattheus was so angry about the loss that he punched a locker and broke his hand. Baseball players are dumb sometimes.
