The 8-2 Detroit Pistons hosting the 1-9 Washington Wizards on Peacock’s big Monday night primetime game. I liked Washington’s offseason acquisition of Cam Whitmore—but I’m not sure I’d lock them into the 3rd week of the NBA’s return to NBC. But Washington might be the greatest 1-win team of all time, pushing Detroit to overtime, […]

Today, the price at the drive-thru window ordering dinner for […]

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.

Decided to tap into the Philadelphia Sixers—one of the final remaining undefeated ball clubs. Paul George recently had knee surgery. Jared McCain injured day one of training camp. Joel Embiid, on a minutes restriction—Jennette McCurdy’s ex to spell. This team should be sharing an under-the-stairs basement bedroom with the Brooklyn Nets. On Monday night, Philadelphia […]
