On Wednesday night, the Arizona Diamondbacks lost 7-13 to the San Francisco Giants marking their 22nd consecutive road loss. That ties an MLB record with the 1943 Philadelphia Athletics and 1963 New York Mets. Baseball was played in suits and ties back then. The Diamondbacks have not won a road game since April 25th. It […]
Last week, the New York Yankees designated first baseman, Mike Ford, for assignment after a pretty abysmal season batting .133. That’s 8 hits in 60 at-bats. That level of production will get you designated for assignment 11 times out of 10. But there’s bad news: he’s being traded to the Devil Rays. Earlier today, the […]
I’ve spent so much time defending Ben Simmons against lazy and reductive takes about his inability to shoot from the perimeter and blah blah but after the Sixers just blew a 26-point lead at home to the Atlanta Hawks to go down 3-2 in their series. This historic collapse isn’t entirely on the shoulders of […]
Stan Van Gundy has been fired from the New Orleans Pelicans after only one season as head coach after a very disappointing season. They finished 31-41 in 2021. That’s a one win improvement from 2020. You don’t hire a new head coach for a one game improvement. This is in no way an article defending […]
In 2015, Russell Westbrook had a breakout season in Oklahoma City averaging 28 points a night while Kevin Durant missed a majority of the year with a foot injury. Unfortunately, the Thunder missed the playoffs and fired head coach, Scott Brooks, after the season. This season, Russell Westbrook was traded to the Washington Wizards to […]
On Tuesday night, the Brooklyn Nets beat the Milwaukee Bucks 114-108 to go up 3-2 in their series. Milwaukee was supposed to win this game. Kyrie Irving is in crutches. James Harden is limping around with a sore hamstring. But they didn’t account for the gawd, Jeff Green. JEFF GREEN HAS 24 POINTS ON 6-6 […]
In 2019, Stephon Gilmore won the Defensive Player of the Year. He is a 4-time Pro Bowler and 2-time All-Pro. He led the league in interceptions and deflected passes in his Defensive Player of the Year season. In 2020, he took a step back while nursing a quad injury. Now, the Patriots are looking to […]
Last season, first time NFL head coach, Joe Judge, proved he is already one of the better coaches in this league. The New York Giants overachieved and almost made the playoffs with a roster that I would not describe as ‘talented’ and with the worst offensive coordinator in the league: Jason Garrett. New York ranked […]
Jamal Adams burned every single bridge possible in order to leave the New York Jets organization and it was tough to blame him. The Jets were run by Adam Gase who was once Peyton Manning’s offensive coordinator many years ago and was somehow treated like untouchable royalty because he called plays for one of the […]
Tua Tagovailoa had a decent rookie season posting a 6-3 win-loss record in his 9 starts for the Miami Dolphins. I,814 yards and 11 TDs to 5 interceptions doesn’t explode off the page but it’s impressive knowing that he was coming off a devastating hip injury that ended his college career. The keys to the […]
For the second year in a row, the Dallas Mavericks season is ended by the Los Angeles Clippers but this season felt different. Last year, the Clippers were title favorites and the postseason occurred in a bubble that no one had ever experienced before. This year, the Clippers were vulnerable and Luka Doncic looked like […]
The Brooklyn Nets were supposed to cruise through the playoffs but after losing both James Harden and Kyrie Irving to leg injuries, the Nets are tied 2-2 with the Milwaukee Bucks. Now, it’s suddenly Kevin Durant vs. Everybody. Brooklyn went up 2-0 after historic offensive nights but then they traveled to Milwaukee for Game 3 […]
Barry Bonds is the greatest player to ever pick up a baseball bat. I don’t want to hear about steroids or whatever. A lot of guys juiced up and none of them have Bonds’s home run numbers. No one comes close to his walk numbers. The goat. 762 homers, 1,996 RBI, .298 batting average, 2,935 […]
You cannot spend 15 minutes watching ESPN without boring discussions about Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson trade rumors. Two of the biggest names in the NFL woke up one morning and decided they were being ‘disrespected’ by their franchises and wanted out. Aaron Rodgers claims he’s upset that Packers GM, Brian Gutekunst, didn’t include him […]
On February 1st, 2019 the New York Knicks traded Kristaps Porzingis, Tim Hardaway Jr, Courtney Lee and Trey Burke to the Dallas Mavericks in exchange for Dennis Smith Jr, DeAndre Jordan, Wes Matthews and two future 1st round draft picks. A day Knicks fans will never forget because the NBA media will never stop reminding […]
There is no active dynasty in the NBA right now. The days of LeBron James dragging random bums to the Finals are over. The Warriors haven’t made the playoffs in years and all the top teams are riddled with injuries. The league is wide open and anyone can win the chip next season if they […]
