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.

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 […]

Jalen Brunson scored 36, Mikal Bridges put 24 on the board—the remaining Knicks enjoyed front row seats to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s MVP campaign.

I’ll be honest, a looooot of dogshit football this week. Every year I forgot the brutality and cost of this enterprise, where, by week 8, you’re mostly watching minor leaguers try, with all their might, to stop the few remaining true superstars still standing.

Organizations like the Raptors have two options: 1.) They can do whatever it is the Brooklyn Nets are doing; intentionally losing, running out lineups full of young […]
The Minnesota Vikings, dogwalked by the Los Angeles Chargers, 37-10, Amazon Prime(time).

The holy trinity […]
