The Warriors last lost on April 10, when the desperate Utah Jazz beat Golden State by six points in the final week of the NBA regular season. Since then, they have swept their way through three consecutive series, only ever running into occasional trouble and spending most of their time protecting huge leads. Their…
Chicago White Sox announcer Steve Stone has been one of the best color men in baseball for decades, and for half the year—the half he spends calling Sox home games with Jason Benetti—he remains one. During the other half of the year, which he spends calling Sox road games with Hawk Harrelson, he becomes subject to the…
The Spurs got wrecked tonight, as most everyone expected they would. Golden State is headed to the Finals, and Manu Ginobili looks like he is probably going to hang ‘em up. While the Argentinian legend has yet to make a formal announcement about his plans, he has hinted that he would probably retire after this season…
In the wake of Michael Bennett’s threat to boycott his newspaper, Seattle Times columnist Matt Calkins has taken the L.
David Leavitt, a freelance writer and Twitch streamer, decided to tweet out a few idiotic jokes after news broke of the fatal bombing at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester. (Leavitt deleted the first tweet, below is the screen grab.)
The Nashville Predators beat the Anaheim Ducks 6-3 tonight to win the Western Conference Finals in six games. Nashville will now advance to their first-ever Stanley Cup Final against the winner of the Ottawa-Pittsburgh series.
What does Jim Harbaugh love? Cows. He loves cows. Consider the following:
Viktor Arvidsson headed to the bench bearing a crimson R upon his forehead after being boarded by Anaheim’s Nick Ritchie. That’s great, but let us know when one of the Russian guys pulls this off in Cyrillic.
The U.S. U-20 team is currently in South Korea for the U-20 World Cup. They are in a decently tough group with Ecuador, Saudi Arabia, and Senegal, and they kicked things off against Ecuador early this morning.
On Sunday, Chelsea captain and one of the most unlikeable men in sports John Terry bid farewell to his club of 22 years after he was subbed off in the 26th minute of the club’s 5-1 drubbing of Sunderland. It was an orchestrated tribute to his uniform number, and Sunderland keeper Jordan Pickford obliged and kicked the…
The Golden State Warriors won Game 3 this weekend to set up a potential sweep against the San Antonio Spurs. The outcome of this series hasn’t been in doubt since Kawhi Leonard limped out of Game 1 with an ankle injury, but it’s seen more controversy than most uneven playoff matchups.
The best Kinja Deals aren’t on the products you’ve been waiting months for a price drop on (unless you’re a gamer), they’re on products you didn’t know you needed, or didn’t even know existed.
Remember Momo, the 12-year-old who got booked for an MMA fight in Japan against an opponent twice her age? She choked out the 24-year-old in question in the first round.

Days after Mike Greenberg and Mike Golic, two ESPN employees who happen to share the same first name, officially announced that their radio show Mike & Mike would be ending this year, a new report from Richard Deitsch of Sports Illustrated suggests that there might be more to the Mike situation than meets the eye.…
The NBA playoffs, in theory if not always in practice, is the best postseason system in all of sports. After a bloated and distended regular season, the playoffs come around and pit the great teams against the merely good ones, the former whittling down the latter until all that’s left is the very best of the very…
What is hell? No one can truly say, but it may involve watching the 2017 Tampa Bay Rays, whose pitchers waste more time than any other team’s. How bad is it? Matt Andriese, Chris Archer, and Alex Cobb, who rank as the three slowest starters in the majors, are averaging 28.2, 26.7, and 26.6 seconds, respectively,…
Vizio’s turnkey sound bar systems are the easiest way to upgrade to 5.1 surround sound, requiring relatively few wires, and no AV receiver. We haven’t seen a decent deal on them in awhile, but while supplies last, you can pick up a refurb for just $150. I own this exact system, and absolutely love it.
