A December upset of then-No. 7 Duke was a thrilling introduction to the Atlantic Coast Conference for Georgia Tech's first-year coach Damon Stoudamire. But the ACC grind in January has brought a harsh dose of reality for the former NBA standout and his Yellow Jackets (9-10, 2-6 ACC), who have lost seven of their last eight games. On Saturday, Georgia Tech will try to recapture its early promise when it travels to Blacksburg, Va., to face Virginia Tech (12-7, 4-4). The Yellow Jackets are coming off a 72-64 loss Tuesday to visiting Pitt. It was Georgia Tech's fourth straight loss by a single digits, showoing a lack of a finishing touch that largely is due to leadership issues, according to Stoudamire. "Within this collective group, I haven't figured out who to lean o…
Driving to every major league ballpark that Edwin Jackson has called home, one by one, in order, would require driving for more than 16,000 miles to reach 11 stadiums. (Toronto not included on this hypothetical road trip; he was on the Blue Jays’ roster for a few hours between trades at the 2011 deadline, but he never made an appearance in uniform.) This is the source of Edwin Jackson’s one fun fact—unless you find it especially fun that he led the majors in losses in 2013—that he has been mostly middling-ish, though sometimes quite bad and, less frequently, good, in this many places. This is what people talk about when they talk about Edwin Jackson. He is one franchise short of Octavio Dotel’s record for most played for. And today, for the first time in his career as a free age…
Steve Kerr got heated early in tonight’s Golden State win over San Antonio, but Gregg Popovich was ultimately the one to get ejected. In a fourth-quarter outburst with the Spurs trailing, he said something along the lines of “You’re a fucking terrible referee,” after not getting the travel call he wanted on a basket that put the Warriors up by 11, and then he was gone. It might be “That’s fucking terrible, referee”? The words “fucking” and “terrible” are definitely there. That’s really all you need. …
Here's the obligatory Disney conglomerate mean-tweet-reading reacharound. There's a good SVP joke in there, but as always, what you're looking for here is the moron who can't even ham up a tweet correctly (it's Jesse Palmer, who sucks). Anyway, here are some tweets from the guy who told Mark May he was going to mail him some poop. He's also an OSU fan: And here's a bonus burn from the guy who got Lou Holtz: …
data-mm-id=”_tf9b7rs38″>Washington survived one winner-take-all Game 5, what's one more?The WNBA season will come to a championship crescendo on Thursday night, as the Washington Mystics and Connecticut Sun battle each other in a showstopping Finals finale (8:00 p.m. ET, ESPN2).

It set up this final showdown at Entertainment and Sports Arena in our nation's capital. Washington and Connecticut topped the league standings at the end of the season, so this series has featured the two best teams in the league battling back and forth. The Mystics nearly erased an 18-point deficit on Tuesday to earn their first title, but clutch triples kept …
data-mm-id=”_xhslap1n3″>The Boston Celtics will face off against the Houston Rockets on primetime television Saturday night. An inter-conference matchup in February usually isn't worth noting, but this game has some heightened meaning; with a win, the Celtics would move past the Toronto Raptors for the second seed in the Eastern Conference playoff race. There are still a lot of games left to play, and Boston could find themselves back in third by the middle of next week. But the scenario serves as a reminder of just how important the second seed will be when the playoffs do come around. As it currently stands, the two-seed is a race between the Raptors and Celtics. Right now, the Miami Heat, Philadelphia 76ers, and Indiana Pacers are all within 2.5 games of each other for the four…
data-mm-id=”_x1yxralgc”>The Houston Rockets lost their fourth consecutive game on Sunday, falling to the Orlando Magic and dropping to the sixth seed in the Western Conference. James Harden, the NBA's leading scorer, struggled for the fifth straight game, making only 6 of 19 field goal attempts. Including the last Rockets win on February 29th, Harden has made only 12 of his last 59 three point attempts. Two weeks ago everyone forced to bite their tongues and begrudgingly compliment the Rockets winning with a small lineup. Now with their season seeming completely lost, people are happy to call out the former MVP. Here are retired basketball guys Kendrick Perkins and Channing Frye teaming up on Harden.I’m glad I’m not the only one that sees it! There is literally no passion for …
data-mm-id=”_5jiq3jj45″>Ty Lue is the new head coach of the Los Angeles Clippers. The Athletic published a story about what that means for the Clippers and it included this tidbit about how annoyed the team's returning veterans were with the treatment of Kawhi Leonard, as well as Kawhi's treatment of them. Via The Athletic: “Players like Beverley, Montrezl Harrell and Lou Williams — Clippers bedrocks before the arrival of Leonard and George — bristled when Leonard was permitted to take games off to manage his body and to live in San Diego, which often led to him being late for team flights, league sources said. The team also allowed Leonard to dictate to Rivers when he could be pulled from games, among other things.”There is just so much dysfunction packed into that one p…

data-mm-id=”_nf3l09rl2″>Major League Baseball and the MLB Players Association have reengaged in talks are working on a deal to begin the 2020 season. While that's good news for fans, an agreement wouldn't do much to quell the labor unrest the sport has been experiencing for years. MLB commissioner Rob Manfred met with Tony Clark, the head of the players union, for several hours on Tuesday. They discussed a framework for a potential 2020 season and how to get past the issues both sides are having. The owners made an offer of 60 games, with full prorated salaries for the players and expanded playoffs in both 2020 and 2021. The players would also have to waive their right to file a grievance against the owners. Source: MLB proposal includes:•60 games in 70 days•Season starti…
