34, that’s the number of points Syracuse basketball scored on Wednesday night

Rich BarnesThe 2019 college basketball season has only just begun, and yet somehow it's already over. Done. Dusted. Cancelled. Pack up Krzyzewskiville. Send Dick Vitale out to pasture. Deliver us from whatever the hell this is, because it certainly isn't college basketball. We grew up with college basketball—run-and-gun drama that made NASCAR look slow. We know what it looks like, and this? Well, this ain't it chief…
FacebookPinterestThat's the FINAL score from defending national champion Virginia's season opener against CBB powerhouse-turned-haunted house Syracuse on Wednesday night. A whopping 82 points. Syracuse made a grand total of 13 field goals and scored 15 actual points in the second half. The Cavaliers turned it over 16 times. Everyone in the Carrier Dome was temporarily blinded. It wasn't a gas leak. That's just how bad the basketball, if you want to call it that, was.
In recent years, both Virginia's Tony Bennett and Syracuse's..

Champions Tour golfers recreate popular GIFs, and the results are surprisingly entertaining

Jon Stewart eating popcorn. Leo DiCaprio holding a martini. Blinking man. All are popular—maybe too popular—GIFs that convey our feelings or “MOOD:”s as we move closer to a world in which people never have to interact in person or even use actual words. (Admittedly, I'm part of the problem, having created an entire document of acronyms for our staff—like “LIU” for look it up or “IAHN” for it's all happening now—to use on Slack to be more efficient.) But now these visual cues are connected in another way.
They've now all been recreated by Champions Tour golfers. And the results were surprisingly entertaining.

Whoever at PGA Tour Champions headquarters came up with the idea to have several players from Bernhard Langer to Colin Montgomerie do this deserves a raise. The release of the senior tour's schedule for 2020 probably wasn't going to go viral, but this? Well, it probably won't go full-blo..

Fashion brand mistakes LeBron James for Swaggy P in best inadvertent insult of the week

Andrew D. BernsteinLeBron James. Nick Young. If you know anything about basketball—and we mean literally anything—then you also know that there's not a single shared molecule between them. One is an all-time great. Arguably the GOAT, depending on who you ask. The other is most famous for cheating on Iggy Azalea. One is substance. The other is style. One is going straight to Springfield, the other to The Masked Singer. So if you're a fashion brand and you're going to tweet about basketball, you better make sure you have LBJ and Swaggy P straight. Just ask Milan streetwear brand Off-White, who this week heaved up a big ol' air ball this week when they posted a photo of Young rocking their new Nike Air Force One collab but tagged LeBron instead. Whoopsie.
FacebookPinterestFrankly, that's gotta sting a bit for LeBron. You grind all your life to become the best player on the planet. You suffer through years of Mo Williams as your number two. You win championships. Y..
