Week 12 was a fun slate of games. 3 overtimes. Jameis Winston was out there doing stuff. The Eagles lost, always fun for me. Let’s give out some awards for Week 12. Disaster Class: Minnesota Vikings Sam Darnold is 8-3. Daniel Jones is 8-3. Both quarterbacks were on the Vikings roster last season. They elected […]
Nico Harrison is gone. Local Dallas service workers can stop spitting in all his Uber orders. The Dallas Mavericks are 5-13— one of the worst teams in the NBA. With new execs coming in, looking to re-focus the roster around Cooper Flagg instead of Luka Doncic’s ghost. Anthony Davis never asked to play for the […]
Welcome to Weekend Waves #1. Every week, I’m gonna share some jams I’ve been listening to recently. Some new releases, some old releases, some songs no one’s ever heard of. I’m done feeling like I’m the only one listening to these songs alone in my apartment. I know I’m not the only distinguished music sicko […]
The sophomore slump has Michael Penix Jr. in the Walls of Jericho. Atlanta Falcons 2nd-year QB—surrounded by Bijan Robinson, Tyler Allgeier, Drake London and Kyle Pitts (eh)—Michael Penix leading this team to only 3 wins. Here’s where he ranks amongst his peers this season: 1,982 passing yards (20th in NFL) 88.5 passer rating (24th) 9 […]
How many times in Major League Baseball have we seen a team make a run to the Championship Series, or even win a World Series, and, mid-celebration, cut salaries, trade stars, let free agents walk—owners opening up their empty wallets with flies buzzing out—despite making millions from the aforementioned playoff run? First baseman Josh Naylor […]
In this week’s humiliation ritual, NBA sickos tasked with philosophizing the state of the NBA—injury reports full of stars only 15 games into the season—whose fault is this? Giannis Antetokounmpo; out, groin. Trae Young; out, knee. Anthony Davis; out, calf. Victor Wembanyama; out, calf. Anthony Edwards missed games. Jalen Brunson missed games. Cade Cunningham missed […]
I love Shedeur Sanders. A young man, showered with praise his entire life by a father who dedicated his retired life to getting his weird, awkward son into the NFL—with the help of a football media class full of celebrity worshipping ball sniffers like Mel Kiper—willing to light their crediblity on fire, live on television—gassing […]
In 2023, Joel Embiid won the MVP Award—appearing in only 66 games. The following season, the NBA implemented a new rule requiring players to participate in 65 regular-season games to be eligible for awards. A short-sighted rule change—expedited by NBA TV broadcast contracts up for renewal and a loud narrative claiming NBA stars miss too […]
I stopped doing game recaps last week because the views fell off a cliff—but eff it—someone asked me to bring them back and what is Deadseriousness if not a passion project that only myself and a handful of distinguished gentlemen and fair ladies sneak a little taste of on their phones when no one’s around—Russell […]
The days of big-name free agents automatically leaving their cities and showing up in the Bronx the following year are done. The Los Angeles Dodgers are the new home for superstars. MLB GMs need not even call an agent with a Japanese country code at the beginning of their phone numbers. Dodgers bound. The New […]

Sometimes, we plateau, hit a wall, scrape our heads on the ceiling of what is possible in our current stations. And I’m speaking from the experience of a guy who is currently in the midst of a brutal 29-year rut. A change of scenery often unveils the keys to unlock your potential. A few NFL […]
The #Pelicans have relieved Willie Green of his duties as head coach, it was announced today by Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations Joe Dumars. Associate Head Coach James Borrego has been named interim head coach. “After careful evaluation, we have made the… pic.twitter.com/cpnAR70V3o — New Orleans Pelicans (@PelicansNBA) November 15, 2025 The New […]
I love Blood and Guts. Pure madness for the sake of. I will run through my thoughts, live, as I watch the event. This is something I used to do back in the day but all my old articles are gone, lost to time. If any bloggers are out there reading this: do not change […]
Cade Cunningham. Jalen Duran. Ausar Thompson. Jaden Ivey. Tobias Harris. Out. All out. The Detroit Pistons starting five were all nursing icing their wounds on Wednesday night with the Bulls bussing in from Chicago. Didn’t matter. 124-113 victory to win their 8th straight game, their flag at the top of the Eastern Conference remains uncaptured. […]
