LeBron James has been officially eliminated from the NBA Playoffs for the first time since the 2004-05 season. The Lakers were kaput when the Brooklyn Nets outlasted them, 111-106, on Friday night. This will be the sixth year in a row the Lakers have missed the postseason—a franchise record. This loss also drops the Lakers’ […]
In an effort to toughen up his mind for the next grueling NFL season, Cam Newton has opted not to “climax” for the month of March. Whether the two are actually in any way connected won’t be known until the fall (and even then who the hell knows?) so try to make a mental note of it […]

On Tuesday, Angels slugger Mike Trout made news by establishing a new MLB standard after signing a 12-year/$430 million contract. Also, some Belgian pigeon did the same for pigeon racing…though it didn’t generate quite as much buzz. That Belgian pigeon, named Armando, was purchased by a Chinese buyer who ponied up $1.4 million in a […]
From their identical jersey number to their respective on-court dominance, the once-in-a-generation talents of Michael Jordan and LeBron James will forever be tied together.
