The entire New Orleans Pelicans organization seemed shocked that the 2024-25 NBA season began. They came into opening night without a real center on the roster. Brandon Ingram was on the trade block all summer and the organization thought to just bring him back after going door-to-door and begging anyone to take him off their […]
Yesterday I watched clips of Tim Boyle and Drew Lock going through the motions of a lifeless Giants practice and made a decision. I could either continue pretending to believe Tommy DeVito is better than he actually is—the, maybe, 62nd best QB in the NFL—OR—I could lock in on college football, specifically getting to better […]
Tyrese Haliburton’s profile is blossoming. The best passer in the NBA just led the Indiana Pacers to the Eastern Conference Finals (thanks to every player on the Knicks using their final hours of sick time before the season ended), got to sit courtside at the Paris Olympics to watch Team USA win gold from the […]
NFL Week 7 in the books (minus Monday Night Football playing two games simultaneously for some reason). The 49ers lost to the Chiefs. Again. Saquon Barkley ran all over the Giants. Detroit took the NFC North crown off the Vikings corpse and speaking of deaths, Deshaun Watson may finally be out of our lives. Here […]
Nebraska losing a game in overtime by getting sacked on 4th and 29 on the final play is exactly what I needed to remind myself I am a fan of a cursed team that is allergic to relevance. The play that sealed the game for @IlliniFootball in OT! 🔒 Down goes Nebraska ❌🌽 pic.twitter.com/7IeAspAOiT — […]
With the 2024 NFL season around the corner, let’s make wild predictions about who will win all of these awards based on nothing but hunches, assumptions and gut feelings: The Deadseriousness Way.©️ Here are my 2024 NFLseason awards predictions: Defensive Rookie of the Year: Braden Fiske/Jared Verse Aaron Donald is the greatest defensive lineman of […]
The Nebraska Cornhuskers play their first game next Saturday which means it’s rightttttt about that time I attempt to lock into another college football season, only to disappear a month in because my team had one. big nationally televised game against Oregon or Ohio State, and got blown out before halftime. This year is different. […]
Not too long ago I was listening to a Barry Bonds interview where he gave his theory on why guys didn’t like him. He explained how he never gave any of his teammates hitting tips because he didn’t want to give anyone else an advantage juuuust in case they ended up being opponents down the […]
Last season ended early for the Philadelphia 76ers as they lost in 7 games to the New York Knicks in the first round. I walked away from that series thinking that team was Tyrese Maxey, a former MVP with a busted knee that’ll never heal properly because he keeps rushing back to prove, like, Twitter […]
On April 27th, 2023, Lamar Jackson signed a huge 5-year, $260 million contract. Troy Aikman made $55 million in his entire NFL career. Lamar will be making $51 million to play quarterback in 2026. And now Lamar, like most people in his new tax bracket, is trying to put his boot on a small business […]
The 2024 WNBA All-Star Weekend was infinitely better than whatever the NBA tried to do this year. These women genuinely cared about the outcome and weren’t just having glorified layup lines. Here are a few lessons I learned from watching this weekend: 1. I wish Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark hated each other Angel […]
The Knicks Sixers Game 1 was everything it was supposed to be. Both teams defensively smothered the other and both teams struggled offensively. It was a back-and-forth battle but my beloved New York Knicks took home the 111-104 victory to go up 1-0. Game 1 is a great indicator of how a series will play […]
Last offseason, the Philadelphia 76ers fired Doc Rivers, not for losing to a better team in the Boston Celtics but for blowing a 3-2 lead and the team looking like they could not wait to go home in Game 7. Rivers was then hired at ESPN and it felt like the Rivers head coach nonsense […]
Let’s start this year’s 2024 MLB Season Preview by talking about the 2024 New York Yankees. The Yankees are coming off their worst season in a decade, finishing 82-80 and missing the playoffs. This team is supposed to be competing for trophies and they barely kept their heads above .500. Before we get to the […]
This week, the Arena Group sent an email to all Sports Illustrated employees saying “We will be laying off staff that work on the SI brand,” essentially killing the prestigious brand that, for years, had been as vibrant as a coma patient. For generations, Sports Illustrated acted as the gold standard of sports journalism. Some […]
