The daughter is 10-years old and the divorce proceedings have been going on for seven years, so the daughter was 3-years old when the proceedings started. The father bought her a set of plastic clubs that year and a set of real clubs the following year. She has since played a ton of golf with him and plays in…

I know this is you, Murray Chass! I don’t care what anybody says, you are totally tech savvy and your baseball analysis is always incredibly well-informed and you have reasonable, if not strong, foundations for all of your arguments.

As astounding as Phelps’ Olympic career has been, I think people just sort of shrug off how truly great he is because his talent (his athletic athletic talent, that is) is noticed by the average sports fan only once every four years, there are more swimming events now than in earlier Olympics, and several of his…

Since 1909, players have hit four HRs in a game 13 times, thrown 21 perfect games, thrown 233 no-hitters, and hit for the cycle 256 times. Over that same time period, 14 managers have combined to employ the Waxahachie Swap (i.e., rotating pitchers between the mound and a position in the field) a total of 24 times.

Dirk and Gasol have some mileage on their legs, so I’m thinking they should go with somebody who is a bit younger but still somewhat of a do-everything player, like Serge Ibaka or Joakim Noah. Otherwise, maybe they should go really young and start developing players for the next generation of USA Basketball, and…

My question is whether any of those three guys would actually contribute a lot to those Pistons teams and whether they would play enough to develop into the players that they are now. Keep in mind that Larry Brown has historically preferred to play vets over rookies, even if the rookies may have more talent.

I respect Danny Ainge, but we pioneered the concept of acquiring good players and draft picks from bad teams. We have also been at the forefront on draft strategy by using our draft picks, particularly our lottery picks, to draft good players.

There are reports - UNCONFIRMED AS OF YET - that J.R. Smith’s shirt was last seen in the vicinity of Oddibe McDowell’s water bill.

He could have also used the one that was sticking out of Shaq’s during the 2006 NBA Finals.

Drew, the other big difference between Cleveland and Boston (aside from the incredible discrepancy in the percentage of their respective populations who are openly and proudly racist) is that Boston cried about how bad the Patriots were before the Brady era and that the Sawx went over 80 years without a title. From…

Run on very loose sand. It may seem easier on your joints because it will cushion your steps a bit, but you have a great chance of rolling an ankle and/or laterally stressing your knee when your foot lands or pushes off awkwardly during the stride cycle.

Dry, single, ply, on the road to New Jersey,
Fight, dingles, fight, drop a load like 1-2-3,
Wipe it low, wipe it high,
And clutch your single ply,
Dry, single, ply, on the road to New Jersey!
FREE-WAY, WEE, HEAL-THY, MESS, DINGLES!

“Clayton Kershaw” and his “games” are a hoax cooked up by the suits in MLB’s corporate office. You can tell because the shadows in the “highlight videos” are all wrong given the perspective, Kershaw’s pitches move in violation of the laws of physics, and nobody would ever actually be named “Clayton Kershaw” or…

McAdoo averaged 19.5 PPG, 8.7 RPG, and 2.0 BPG for Santa Cruz and led them to a D-League title last year. If I know anything, and I’d like to think that I do, it’s that any player who excels like that in the NBDL is guaranteed to be a tremendous NBA player. Just ask this guy, this guy, this guy, or this guy, and who…

He’ll have a shot to redeem himself in Game 6, but given how his two seasons in Cleveland have gone, there’s a good chance the game will end with him tripping over his own shoe laces as he biffs a game-winning layup.

2-14? Animatronic Commissioner Roger Goodell will definitely have the NFL playing a 32-game regular season in 2073 with the league having expanded to 64 teams.

See my comment posted below in response to buzzkilling an hour and a half before your comment. The officiating has been bad both ways, with no-calls on obvious fouls and phantom fouls called when there hasn’t been any contact. In pointing out the number of free throws LeBron has taken, I am only making the point that…

As does every other player in the league. Notably, LBJ was called for traveling on consecutive possessions during Game 2 and Jackson and Van Gundy both commented that traveling calls are so rare on drives now that it was surprising that anybody would be called for traveling on consecutive plays, while also noting that…

I am just saying that LeBron has never been accused of being a flopper and he takes a lot of contact. The officiating during the Finals has been bad both ways - with the officiating in Game 4 being particularly terrible. There have been a lot of blatant fouls that the refs have missed (Barnes’ elbow to Love’s head in…
