As a sports fan, and a self-avowed geek, I’m kind of obligated to like Daryl Morey. The man brought Moneyball to the NBA, and has produced some amazingly mediocre results with the Rockets that would make Billy Beane proud. But on top of that, he’s a pretty good interview. He’s funny, intelligent, and never afraid to answer a question honestly (unless he’s giving away team...

NBA 2013 Review: Jeremy Lin
-by David Rountree
Jeremy Lin last season was an amazing sensation for the New York Knicks, but things have slowed down a bit for the budding star.

Lin had looked spectacular, average, and even abysmal at...

FANTASTIC
Baby with pants down videobombs postgame
This is going to most likely be one of those issues which we never get a straight answer, but the comedic value is enough just how it is. Wednesday night after the Rockets beat the Thunder in Game 5, CSN Houston held their unusual postgame show. However, it ended up being one of the odder shows as a young child with pants falling down walked in the background with no shame. Just...
