Scottie Pippen is currently on a drunk bender that landed him a guest spot on the Dan Patrick Show where he decided to randomly declare that Phil Jackson is racist for some reason. DP: “.. By saying it was a racial move then you’re calling Phil Jackson a racist…” Pippen: “I don’t have a problem […]
Trevor Bauer has been a massive asshole for years. He harassed a teenage girl on Twitter because the girl was an Alex Bregman fan or whatever. He had an interview where he gave his ‘rules of dating‘ that included: 1. no feelings 2. no social media posts because everything needs to be private and 3. […]
Reading the tea leaves, it appears Jason Kidd will be the next head coach of the Dallas Mavericks following the departure of Rick Carlisle. With zero context, this is a beautiful homecoming for one the best point guards in NBA history to the organization that drafted him and where he won his championship years later […]
Jahlil Okafor has been considered a bust after being selected no. 3 overall in 2015 by the Philadelphia 76ers. He was the no. 1 ranked high school player heading into a dominant freshman season at Duke—averaging 17 points and 8 rebounds on 66% shooting from the field. Unfortunately, he was drafted into a Sixers franchise […]
Ben Simmons can no longer play for the Philadelphia 76ers. He isn’t the sole reason for Philly’s early playoff exit but he also had the lowest free throw percentage in postseason history—vanishing in 4th quarters as if terrified to make a mistake to cost his team the win—thus, costing his team the win. A trade […]
The New York Jets have been the worst team in the NFL for quite some time now. We can be more specific and say the Adam Gase era was the peak of their atrociousness but that would imply that by firing him, they are suddenly on the way up. Here’s a little fun fact to […]
Earlier this week, the Boston Celtics hired Ime Udoka as their new head coach to replace Brad Stevens—who was fired but somehow also earned a promotion to run the team so he hired his replacement(?). I don’t know. Jay Williams, ESPN NBA analyst, had to comment on the hire as it is his job to […]
Robert Griffin III had all the potential in the world to be a Mike Vick for the next generation—a cool superstar for black kids across the country to look up to and envision themselves dominating a position that had previously only belonged to their white counterparts. But RGIII—The Prince Who Was Promised—got drafted to a […]
As a proud New York Giants sicko, I was doing some quiet Daniel Jones research and remembered that Dwayne Haskins was projected to have a better career than Jones—hilarious considering I had to then Google Haskins just to see if he were still on an NFL roster. He appears to be a Pittsburgh Steeler. Ok. […]
Last season, Buster Posey took the year off due to the whole global pandemic thing that baseball did not handle well at all. In 2019, Posey had clearly declined and was no longer in the discussion as one of the best catchers in baseball. At age 34 and in his 11th season of major league […]
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 […]
