Dust off the trampolines, Slamball is back
Shout out to the old Spike TV network. Classic programs such as The Joe Schmo Show, Pros vs. Joes, and Slamball called that network home. Spike TV may no longer exist, but Slamball is making a triumphant return to the small screen. Starting July 21 it will be aired on ESPN....
Patriots CB Jack Jones’ attorney was a broken record on Tuesday
Jack Jones’ attorney has had enough of the several non-influential social media accounts bashing her client.

Another Juneteenth, and America still doesn't get it
For the third time on Monday, the United States of America will acknowledge Juneteenth as a federal holiday. President Joe Biden signed the declaration into law two days before the holiday in 2021. Now as America enters its third nationwide Juneteenth celebration — three years after George Floyd’s d...
Will a Championship trip to Vegas convince Nikola Jokić the NBA lifestyle is actually pretty cool?
I never mind professional athletes who don’t get wrapped up in the celebrity lifestyle. It isn’t for everybody, and it’s also a second job. Nikola Jokić wanting to hightail it back to Serbia after winning an NBA Championship is perfectly reasonable, but I do think he enjoyed Las Vegas....
Did someone really try to fight Michael Jai White?
The martial artist who doubles as an action star is not as common as it once was. There aren’t nearly as many Jet Li’s or Chuck Norris’ roundhouse-kicking foes into oblivion. The biggest box office smash that Michael Jai White was ever in was The Dark Knight, and he didn’t put a foot in anyone’s ass...
Ron DeSantis could learn from Allyson Felix’s heartfelt goodbye to Tori Bowie
Allyson Felix knows all too well about the enhanced dangers of childbirth for Black women. She required an emergency C-Section to deliver her baby 32 weeks into term. She authored an essay in Time about her former USA Olympic teammate Tori Bowie’s death while in labor. An essay that Florida Governor...
2023 All-Postseason Team, a FANtastic performance by these 5 players
America, glad to see the NBA playoffs were able to hold your attention again. With an average of 5.47 million viewers per game, the 2023 postseason was the most watched in five years. And more importantly, per Darren Rovell, since April of the 20 most watched programs by Americans under 50, the NBA ...
Buffalo Bills avoid more drama, cancel last minicamp
What a strange and unnecessary situation for a team with Super Bowl aspirations. Of course, NFL news must run every hour of every day. It’s more consistent than the satisfaction of a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. For the Buffalo Bills though, Stefon Diggs not taking the field for mandatory minic...
Deadspin's 2023 All-NBA Finals Team
The 2023 NBA Finals was not a sexy matchup on paper. A team from the mountain time zone with a mountain in the middle of lane, against a team from South Florida with no flash. These were the two teams that kept America from the NBA’s most classic championship matchup, Los Angeles Lakers vs. Boston C...
The most anticipated boxing matchup in years had a rough SEO day
There is not a lot of room in the news cycle at the moment. Much of it is being swallowed up by Donald Trump being arraigned for allegedly turning Mar-A-Lago into a Hoarders episode using classified documents. (He pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.) In sports, the LIV-PGA merger is being investigated by...
The Athletic was supposed to own local sports news. Instead, it's getting owned by the current state of media
The Athletic’s plan to replace sports pages worldwide has taken another blow. It announced on Monday that it will be laying off about four percent of its staff, per The Washington Post’s Ben Strauss. Further proof that nothing in media is being replaced just yet. Instead, it is steadily eroding due ...
A chaotic NBA season punctuated by a chaotic championship finish
The perfection of basketball offense. The shooting is too great. There is no way to defend the entire floor. The 3-point shot has ruined basketball. The Denver Nuggets had one of the greatest statistical offenses in NBA history during the 2022-23 NBA regular season, and defeated the Miami Heat in Ga...
For those famous enough to be asked to throw a first pitch, learn from Roquan Smith — lob it
Roquan Smith is one of the best athletes on the planet. He knows it, because he has bet on himself for his entire career, and the result is that in his sixth NFL season, he will be the highest-paid off-ball linebacker in the league. He fills gaps, chases down running backs, causes turnovers, plays p...
Amanda Nunes, one of the greatest to ever punch a human being in the face for money
Legends come in all shapes and sizes and if people are too closed-minded to accept that fact, then they can miss truly special talent. Dana White’s closed-mindedness almost caused sports fans to miss out on one of the greatest fighters of her generation — Amanda Nunes....
Dalvin Cook cut a reminder that the NFL treats RBs like Amazon warehouse workers
Being a running back is a great way to get recruited. In high school, RBs frequently have the ball in their hands, and it doesn’t take much for their talent to be recognized. Little Johnny fakes out two linebackers, runs over a safety, and then glides into not only the end zone, but also a college s...
Is NBA commish Adam Silver going to teach Ja Morant gun safety?
Ja Morant is clearly going to be punished. There is no way that he can be allowed on the court for the Memphis Grizzlies’ season opener after so quickly proving that he didn’t understand the severity of playing with guns on social media. Adam Silver confirmed Thursday that Morant will be away from b...
Miami Heat need Tyler Herro out there STAT
The Miami Heat have made sure to throw the pace of the 2023 NBA Finals into Karo Syrup. The Denver Nuggets have the best offensive rating of any team in the 2023 postseason, but have yet to score 110 points in the finals. This Heat run through the postseason has been mind-boggling, but after three g...
Bryson DeChambeau thinks PGA-LIV merger is enough to heal 9/11 wounds
If LIV in any way influenced Bryson DeChambeau to do a one-on-one interview with CNN following its merger with the PGA, its public relations team needs to put together a retreat and hold a three-day seminar. The decision-making process needs a complete overhaul because DeChambeau suggested that Amer...
