This Is What Ads Will Look Like On NBA Jerseys

Advertisements on NBA jerseys were inevitable, and we just got our first glimpse of the logos that will appear on the upper-left corners of jerseys starting in the 2017-2018 season, when the league begins its apparel deal with Nike.

Marcus Smart Got Into It With His Coaches, Hit The Showers Early

I am disappointed. Anything short of a bench-clearing brawl would have been disappointing, after the Wizards wore all black (for the Celtics’ “funeral”) ahead of the teams’ third matchup of the year, after the first two features all manner of beef. But last night provided no fireworks, just a dominant, uneventful…

Amazon Just Dropped Over 50 New Dash Buttons And Still Gives You a $5 Credit

Amazon added 50+ new Dash buttons to their lineup this morning, and while you probably don’t need most of them (except the Brownie Brittle one, you definitely need that), there may be a few in there that could come in handy around your house.

The #1 and #2 teams in college basketball both went on the road tonight and they both lost. Second-ranked Kansas headed to Morgantown and lost by 16 to West Virginia, while top-ranked Villanova blew a big lead to Marquette and lost after they couldn’t score on the final possession. An errant dunk or two aside, the…

These DeAndre Jordan Free Throws Are High Art

DeAndre Jordan stands to have his production decline as much as anyone on the Clippers in Chris Paul’s absence. Jordan is Paul’s primary alley-oop muse, and his offensive rebounding skills are a lot less handy without Paul’s penetration. However, that has nothing to do with Jordan airmailing two free throws in the…

Dan Gilbert Has Had It Up To Here With These Landlines That Won't Receive His Text Messages

This weekend, the New York Times published an article on Dan Gilbert and his scam mortgage factory, Quicken Loans.

NASCAR Is Choking On Its Constant Rule Changes

Perhaps one of the most widespread critiques about NASCAR is that “something has to change.” The races are “too long” or “too boring,” and all they do is “make left turns.” But if you look back on the last few years, too much change has occurred—and it’s been more of a plague than an improvement.
