I find it surprising only insofar as I didn't realize the Celtics were savvy enough to tap Brad Stevens. And it's a no-lose situation for him, because even if he flames out (ie Pitino) he'll have his choice of college jobs.

Put a fist through that chick like a civil rights sign

Well this is certainly the greatest thing ever. +1

I'm not sure Miami braining every team they face by 25 points is going to be as exciting as you think. It's not like soccer (I'm not using the F word, soccer weirdos) where the best players play scattered among several leagues. All of the best are either in the NBA or headed to the NBA when they turn 19. And the game…

Well, considering Champions League is only Europe... And I'm actually not sure anyone said best basketball team in the world. I know that's what they say for (American) football, but I don't think I heard it. I am from SA though, so I didn't see any of that coverage.

The Bears offensive line will be donating their time working as bouncers and doormen, so expect it to be packed.

I'll never understand this. How is Dwight Howard not significantly more maligned than LeBron James? He is the fucking WORST. Aside from LeBron's two mistakes: 1.) The Decision, which was admittedly WAY-the-hell over the top and egotistically unparalleled. (But still just a free-agency decision that got all dolled…

Following orders is not an excuse. Nuremberg trials are the permanent reminder of that.

Hulk.

"He a'ight."

I was there for that match (and still have the ticket stub to prove it!). I have never, ever been at another event like it since, and that includes a Super Bowl, a Stanley Cup Finals game and a couple of European soccer games.

Another black Florida youth on the wrong side of standing your ground.

Friend: All right, we need to get you home. Let's get a cab.

I don't get what the big deal is. Looks like a great time. Haven't seen any photos of fires or significant damage to anything. Was everyone supposed to immediately go home and go to bed?

Because sports.

I was thinking the exact same thing last night when I was driving home from the bar I work at. If the the Cubs ever win it will be full on riots in the city. The cops did a GREAT job last night though I'll give them that. They shut down a few streets for the hawks fans to celebrate and it really helped corral them…

i would normally agree with this, but last night gets a free pass. the bros were there, but so was everyone else!
sure, a few dumb bros did stupid shit, but for occasions like this, that doesn't matter. my wife and i rarely go to that area on weekends due to the bro factor... but it was like that red marquee sent out a…

Chicago sports fans care about their teams. 2 million people showed up at the Hawks last victory parade in 2010, and the town would probably explode if the Bears ever win a championship. The reason no one followed the Hawks in the '90's is because Bill Wirtz was a cheap asshole who wouldn't televise games locally. …

EPIC. THAT IS ALL. HAWKS.
