New York, NY
Welcome to Lester Locks In, where I, Lester Lee, will choose a few teams or events or people to lock in on for the week. This week we’ve got some Cubbies, some NBA playoff squads, Wrestlemania week and of course, my beloved Bronx Bombers. New York Yankees The Yankees have lost 5 of their […]
We made it. We finally made it. The 2024-25 NBA season begins this week which means it’s time to wildly speculate on the outcomes of all 82 games before a single one gets played. As is tradition. Some of these predictions fit the bold category and some of these predictions fit the stupid category but […]
NFL Week 7 in the books (minus Monday Night Football playing two games simultaneously for some reason). The 49ers lost to the Chiefs. Again. Saquon Barkley ran all over the Giants. Detroit took the NFC North crown off the Vikings corpse and speaking of deaths, Deshaun Watson may finally be out of our lives. Here […]
I love NBA rookies. And not in a Draya/Jalen Green financial exploitation kind of way. A fresh crop of talented players hit the league and we tattoo our hopes, beliefs, fears, biases and agendas to them before they play their first minute. This year is an interesting draft class as there are no clear “stars” […]
There’s no such thing as normal. We are all unique beings just trying to make our way through planet Earth, doing the best we can. And there’s nothing normal about being an NBA player. You travel across the country, showering with your coworkers every night and everyone you meet knows exactly how much money you […]
I won’t post the video here but just take my word for it when I say Aidan Hutchinson got his leg shattered into a bajillion pieces in Detroit’s 47-9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. The Lions look like the best team in the NFL, effortlessly busting out random trick plays just treating a gameday like […]
AEW WrestleDream 2024 was the coronation of new superstars, the return of some old favorites and the murder of Bryan Danielson—which is quickly becoming a monthly occurrence. I don’t want to review the entire show. I won’t pretend to have nuanced opinions on Brian Cage becoming the Ring of Honor TV House Show FTW Jr […]
WWE Bad Blood 2024, hosted by Metro Boomin’, Bianca Belair, Jade Cargill and Naomi. It’s a vibe, I guess. At one point, Chelsea Green crashes the VIP lounge where the entire room—including Quavo from Migos—covers their nose in disgust at her putrid stench. I didn’t watch Smackdown. Apparently, she was thrown in a dumpster. That’s […]
All weekend, I was trying to figure out how I’d talk about the NFL every week. How can I effectively speak about all the games I obsessively watched all Sunday? There’s only one thing to do: give random, made-up, meaningless awards. Duh. So here are the first official Deadseirousness NFL Week 1 Awards: The Disaster […]
We have finally made it. The 2024 NFL season is here. But there’s still a ton of questions around the league. Fortunately for you, I not only have all the questions but I know all the answers as well. Here are the biggest questions heading into the 2024 NFL season (and the correct answers): […]
Shout out to LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry for leading the 2024 Team USA Olympic squad but this is their farewell tour. I don’t expect to see any of those 3 men playing basketball 4 years from now so we’ll have to re-tool the whole roster. I want to start by saying no […]
The 2024 offseason is pretty much over, unless you’re on pins and needles waiting to see where Luke Kennard lands, so this will probably be the last NBA content on Deadseriousness for awhile. Let’s go team-by-team and talk about what their front offices were attempting to accomplish (and what I would’ve done if I were […]
The NBA Offseason isn’t totally over yet. I’m sure we are all refreshing our Twitter feeds, impatiently waiting for the DeMar DeRozan move but it’s time to give out some highly respected Deadseriousness awards. The Running The Bill Up and Sneaking Away Through The Bathroom Window Award Boston Celtics Jayson Tatum and Jaylen […]
Kevin Porter Jr is a bad guy. A genuinely bad human who, at best, is like the 211th-best player in the NBA. And the Los Angeles Clippers opened up the 2024 NBA Free Agency period by immediately signing Kevin Porter Jr to not only a 2-year deal but a 2-year deal with a PLAYER OPTION. […]
We may have just witnessed the most boring NBA Finals as the Boston Celtics beat the Dallas Mavericks in 5 uneventful games. It’s easy to hate seeing Boston Celtics fans experience joy and clowning Jayson Tatum for being a cornball is second nature at this point but I can’t help but think ESPN’s NBA broadcasts […]
Sometimes, an NBA team will take a big swing and try to pair up stars in hopes their talent will win out in the end only to find out chemistry and compatibility and personality all matter. There are plenty of NBA duos who have come together recently and worked out like the Kings bringing in […]
Creator of Deadseriousness. Welcome to the mind palace of a weirdo obsessed with sports and pop culture. Walk with me.
