As a Knicks fan, I am fully aware of my favorite team’s reputation. Since the 2000s, the Knicks have been run by a neanderthal who simply doesn’t understand the sport of basketball. But when he handed the keys to Phil Jackson in 2014, James Dolan essentially wiped his hands clean of all meddling and intervening […]
We are all the results of our parents. One way or another, our parents’ behaviors melt their way into our subconscious. Country singer, Elle King, had her father’s nonsense pop out of her and one of the worst possible times ever. There was a point in time when Elle King’s “X’s and O’s” song was […]
We’re talking strictly in the US here – anyone with a brain knows that soccer is the more globally popular sport. It’s played everywhere and has massive followings across South America and Europe while American Football is largely cared about by…well…Americans. Football is one of the core American sports you learn about as you […]
We’ve made it to the Conference Championships. The 2024 NFL Divisional Round was easily the best football played all season. Although there were no real upsets or anything super shocking, we still have winners and we certainly have some losers. Let’s start with the winners of the 2024 NFL Divisional Round: 1. Brock Purdy […]
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 […]
The 2023 season is over. I don’t know if it’s because the New York Giants sucked or if truly the whole league dropped in quality but this season was mid as hell. Eh nonetheless, we must hand out trophies to those who earned them. Here are your Deadseriousness 2023 NFL Awards: The Truth Teller Award: […]
Chain Reaction is something new I’m working on. Basically, after a big move goes down, I’m going to try and break down all of the people affected by the trade/signing/firing/cutting/resigning/re-signing. Raiders are working to finalize a deal to hire Antonio Pierce as their head coach, per sources. Raiders made Pierce their interim HC on Halloween […]
Since joining the Knicks on January 1st, OG Anunoby has helped New York go 8-2 while recording a league-high +170 plus-minus in 10 games. The Knicks have the No. 1 defensive rating over this time. OG and the Knicks are putting teams in the torture chamber every night. And this is why you trade RJ […]
We’ve passed the threshold where it is officially time to take the NBA season seriously. The NFL season is over. We watched Charles Barkley say we need to give white people more credit for Civil Rights on MLK Day. So let’s get these power rankings started bay-beeeeeeeeeeee: 1. New York Knicks I couldn’t write the […]
Chain Reaction is something new I’m working on. Basically, after a big move goes down, I’m going to try and break down all of the people affected by the trade/signing/firing/cutting/resigning/re-signing. And here is our very first chain reaction: BREAKING: The Indiana Pacers are finalizing a trade to acquire All-Star F Pascal Siakam in a deal […]
Josh Giddey simply fell for the wrong girl. It’s happened to all of us. We meet a girl we like and our rose-colored glasses shield us from all the obvious red flags. For some, it’s clinginess or perhaps substance abuse. One time I fell for a girl who I’m still to this day, convinced could […]
If you’ve been reading Deadseriousness for a minute then you know I have strong feelings about Quentin Grimes. I believe he has the ideal skillset every NBA playoff team would want in their rotation but for some reason, the New York Knicks are reportedly shopping him around before the trade deadline. This story is coming […]
We just wrapped up the 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend and there were some winners and there were absolutely some losers. It was freezing everywhere. Taylor Swift swagged surfed. Let’s start with the winners of 2023 NFL Wild Card Weekend: 1. Joe Flacco Sure, the Browns lost but Joe Flacco can walk away from this […]
Sometimes in life, we attempt to accomplish something we know we aren’t capable of but we try anyway [efn_note]like me trying to make money writing.[/efn_note] And we call anyone who doubts us ‘haters’ even when there is no malice behind their skepticism. All season, it felt like the 2023 Miami Dolphins were going out there […]
On Saturday night, the NFL aired a playoff game exclusively on Peacock so millions of people had to purchase a new subscription (or find a working stream online). But some of us, like myself, have had Peacock for years. If you were forced to pay for this streaming service and you see shit like the […]
The NBA defines ‘Clutch Time’ as the final five minutes of the fourth quarter or overtime when the score is within five points. On Thursday night, I watched my beloved New York Knicks travel to Dallas. They lost 124-128 and although the score looked close, the Mavericks were in complete control the entire game. And […]
