Russell Westbrook's emphatic dunk was one of the few Thunder highlights on Thursday as the Spurs rolled to a 117-89 victory and are one win away from a return trip to the Finals. It was a physical game as Tim Duncan took a kick to the groin and Kevin Durant took a slap to the face. The biggest injury, however, was to the pride of this reporter who got ripped by Gregg Popovich after asking a not-so-smart question.

When Social Media Ideas Break Bad

Senator Harry Reid has been among the biggest forces behind the movement to make the Redskins change their team name. The Redskins decided to fight back on Twitter yesterday, urging their fans to tweet Reid with the hashtag #RedskinsPride. To say this backfired would be an understatement.

Who Dressed Al Alburquerque?

I have no idea what is going on with Al Alburquerque but no major league baseball player should ever wear a studded leather bikini top and daisy dukes. A certain retired basketball player, however, was allowed a little more leeway with his attire.

More Proof Floyd Mayweather is Rich

The boxer paid Nicki Manaj $50,000 to appear at his daughter's 14th birthday party. She didn't have to sing. She didn't have to dance. She just showed up, hung out for an hour and left $50,000 richer than when she arrived. In fairness, Mayweather is the highest-paid athlete in sports.

The Rangers are going back to the Stanley Cup Finals. Dominic Moore, who took last year off to be with his wife as she battled cancer, scored the game's lone goal as the Rangers eliminated the Canadiens in six games. In this 1994 photo, Adam Graves (far left), Mark Messier (sunglasses) and their Rangers teammates ride through the Canyon of Heroes after defeating Vancouver and winning the Stanley Cup.
