Brittney Griner made headlines with her over-the-rim dunks, but now she’s back in the news for an entirely different, and much more disappointing, reason. In a game against Texas Tech, Griner let her temper get the best of her and she cold cocked her guard Jordan Barncastle. Barncastle had fouled Griner while guarding her, and [...]

Tennessee basketball coach Bruce Pearl made an agonizingly tasteless joke about the diversity of his team at a small function last Thursday. He was speaking to TVA employees without a prepared speech. Perhaps impromptu comedy isn’t Pearl’s strong point?
“I’ve got a tough job. I’ve got to put these guys from different worlds together, right?” Pearl [...]

When people feel the need to take to the skies with their message. But yeah, only jerks stalk married women, Reggie. Creepy jerks.
