That's Not Really That Funny, Phil
Here, via Bob's Blitz, audio of Phil Jackson's hilarious joke about driving the Knicks into the ground. A veritable laugh riot:
Who could possibly have ever foreseen that the decision to strip Joe Thornton of the Sharks' captaincy would become a festering source of strife that came up again and again?

I would eat here. I want to eat here.

Action Park Is Getting A Looping Water Slide That Actually Works
Joyous, potentially litigious news, everybody! New Jersey's Action Park, home of the looming carcass of a decades-old vertical looping water slide that was as injurious as it was mysterious, is getting a new attraction. Above, and coming in 2016, is the SkyCaliber. It seems like it works safely, which means it has…
Sports Dog Barfs
Dogs barf. It's what they do, because they're gross, wonderful creatures. Sometimes they eat the barf. Sometimes not because they're too busy being a mascot.
How Jordan Cameron Used The NFL Media
For about two hours yesterday, before he signed with the Dolphins, TE Jordan Cameron was returning to the Browns. It was a "done" deal, according to multiple respected NFL reporters:

Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. Keep sportsing those sports.
Eagles Sign Ryan Mathews Anyway, Chip Kelly Remains Fascinating
Chip Kelly and the Eagles are having the strangest, most entertaining offseason in recent memory. Trading LeSean McCoy, agreeing with—then losing—Frank Gore, agreeing with Ryan Mathews before signing DeMarco Murray, and now, reportedly...signing Mathews anyway? Really? Huh.

Three days ahead of NYCFC's first home game, Yankee Stadium looks pretty crappy. And some Yankees players aren't happy about sharing their field with a soccer team for the next few years, with Mark Teixeira telling the Daily News the arrangement "is going to suck."

I don't watch Empire. But come on. Look at this:
The Colts Are Going For It
Indianapolis agreed to terms with Andre Johnson yesterday, adding the WR to a sizable and significant free-agency haul that figures to upgrade the Colts at multiple positions on both sides of the ball. Every year or two, one team decides that its window is as open as it's ever going to be, and makes the short-term…
Report: DeMarco Murray Is Going To Philly "With The Intent To Sign"
ESPN's Adam Schefter lights the fuse on a potential free-agency bombshell that's been oddly quiet thus far, reporting that star running back DeMarco Murray is heading to Philadelphia as we speak and is planning to sign a contract with the Eagles:
Kevin Hayes Will Finish When He's Damn Well Ready
Sweet little goal from the Rangers' Kevin Hayes last night, sneaking in behind the Isles' defense, hulking up and throwing off Thomas Hickey, spinning, and scoring on Jaroslav Halak just before getting leveled by Matt Martin.
Winnipeg Found A New, Crotchpunchingly Painful Way To Lose
If you are a Winnipeg fan, you are used to things not going your way. So please don't be surprised when the Jets miss out on the postseason by a point or two, and this game-losing goal from the neutral zone with a minute left amounts to the difference.
The Jets Are Giving Darrelle Revis So Much Money
Darrelle Revis is returning to the Jets, and he isn't coming cheap. Nor should he! He's far and away the best corner in the game—maybe by a larger extent than anyone else is the best at their position—and he's getting paid like it, the latest in what has shaken out to be a series of brilliant career decisions on…
