On a 5-game winning streak, playing in a back-to-back at the crib—the New York Knicks looked to end all the “East is wide open” chatter—thumping the Orlando Magic and marching to the 1 seed (although, the Pistons just beat the Bulls without Cade Cunningham or Jalen Duren so the plucky young heroes still remain at […]
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, […]

The New York Giants have the 3rd most wins in NFL history. 4 Super Bowl Championships. A historic institution in this country. In 1925, Tim Mara and Will Gibson scraped together the most money they could, outbidding the field— ً$2,500 the New York Football Giants. Today, the price at the drive-thru window ordering dinner for […]

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 […]
Getting into the game of basketball back in the 90’s, the Orlando Magic and Charlotte Hornets were key figures in my brain development. Orlando had foot lockers lit. Shaq and Penny packing out arenas. Highlights of Larry Johnson and Alonzo Mourning glued to ESPN Top 10 highlights. The 90’s came back to destroy these organizations. […]

Here comes a new weekly NFL column. Maybe. This is barely sneaking out before the Thursday night game. But every week, I want to choose a handful of quarterbacks whose success I will actively root for all weekend. I don’t play fantasy football anymore because of I don’t bet because I can barely keep the […]
On February 5th, the Chicago Bulls traded Zach LaVine to the Sacramento Kings for Tre Jones, Zach Collins, Kevin Huerter and a first round pick (Sacramento traded De’Aaron Fox to the Spurs in this 3-team deal). After 8 years, 3 head coaches and only 1 playoff appearance (a gentleman’s first round sweep by Giannis), Chicago […]
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 […]
