Ja Morant and the Memphis Grizzlies are fighting on main. 1-game suspension, less than 2 weeks into the season. Tuomas Iisalo, the second head coach to lose Morant’s focus in the year 2025. Ja, currently shooting 38% from the field and 14% from 3, Yuck. Quit on the team on national television against the Los […]
Stephen A. Smith’s newest turn into shallow, performative political commentary—on his podcast, I can’t imagine anyone spending their free time watching—proves this has-been, clinging on to his remaining years of fame, will do anything for a dollar. Well, anything except do his job. Last year’s ESPN NBA Finals coverage displayed, for all eyes to see, […]
Antonio Brown is one of the greatest wide receivers of his generation. 928 career receptions, 12,291 yards and 83 touchdowns. 5-time All-Pro. Super Bowl champion. Truly unguardable at his peak. When Ben Roethlisberger threw in his direction, Brown was coming down with it—every time. He’s also a menace to society who should be wheeled around […]
Coming into the year—following 3 consecutive below .500 seasons—suddenly, the Las Vegas Raiders would flip a switch and compete for championships. An elderly Pete Carroll—fresh off his couch. Geno Smith—who, at his peak, was like, the 14th best QB in the league—the Raiders were ready to turn Las Vegas up. (Also, thanks to the lazy […]

Monday Night Football, 3-1 Jacksonville hosting the defending AFC Champions; Super Bowl runs require Super Bowl confidence—a quality escaping the Jaguars since their 1995 birth. I’m older than the Jaguars. I just gave myself the ick. Hospice care soon cometh. A victory over Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, the Chiefs, in Primetime; Peter Parker with the […]
After Wrestlemania, I said I was out on WWE. Then I saw this clip this morning… After a year of failure & plummeting ratings under a Cody Rhodes championship reign, it’s time for marks to accept reality: WWE needs to put a rocket on Logan Paul and position him as the top star in the […]
Piers Morgan is one of the best journalists we have today—hosting a TV show in which he brings on social media agitators to argue with educated, informed guests about super lowkey, low stakes topics like racism, antisemitism and war. Recently, he had on that one girl who lost a swim race, like ten years ago—using […]
You could either have a durable wing player capable of generating his own shot whenever he wants and single-handedly wrecking opposing teams’ offensive possessions—OR—you can have a mystery box full of endless wonder and possibility. The Knicks chose the former, electing to send their mystery box (4 unprotected first-round picks) to the Brooklyn Nets in […]
We certainly do not condone violence here at Deadseriousness. Hashtag Cease Fire. But sometimes you have to whoop some ass when an overserved, overconfident space invader appears. What happened at the Pirates game? Last night, a Pittsburgh Pirates security guard laid hands, feet (and belt), fair reaction to a wino spitting at them. This Pirates […]

Big announcement coming from the Utah Jazz—a team that treats basketball games like I treat going to a doctor’s appointment. We are excited to extend Will Hardy’s contract as head coach of the Jazz through 2031. Will is a great leader, communicator, and ambassador for our org, and is a tremendous partner to Danny, JZ, […]
Monday night was the 2025 Met Gala—the place where celebrities and models and people who are famous for simply having symetrical faces—all gather to dress like assholes to remind us regular folk we are less than. But my guy Timothée Chalamet had to skip this year’s festivities and had a great reason as to why. […]
Coming into Thursday night’s showdown of my favorite basketball team and ESPN’s, the Knicks were 0-8 against the top 4 teams in the NBA—including the Lakers flying into Madison Square Garden and beating them by 16 before they stole Luka from the Mavs. Meanwhile, LA was on a 7-game winning streak with JJ Redick suddenly […]
The New York Jets would like everyone to know they are serious about finding their next general manager and head coach. They’ve gone as far as hiring an NFL blog as consultants in their search. These consultants have led them to interview names from Louis Riddick of ESPN to Ron Rivera, who was so awful […]
2025 NFL Wild Card Weekend is upon us and despite my beloved New York Giants being nowhere near advancing to the tourney, I think I’ll still watch the games. But not all football games are created equal. We learned that on Christmas Day. Just because two teams have great win-loss records doesn’t mean it’ll automatically […]
