Boston Sports Radio Chud Goes On Long Rant About How Roy Halladay Deserved To Die
On today’s broadcast of Boston sports radio show Felger and Mazz, co-host Michael Felger went on a long and genuinely astonishing rant about the recent death of former MLB pitcher Roy Halladay.

Roy Halladay Was "Your Favorite Player's Favorite Player"
Watching Roy Halladay pitch made me feel like a child, even though I wasn’t. That is, watching him pitch gave me the sense of uncontextualized awe that I had otherwise left behind in sports. So many years did I watch him as a Blue Jay mow down my favorite team—he was unhittable, even though, logical...

Giannis Antetokounmpo turned in another monstrous night against the Cavs, scoring 40 points on 16-21 shooting. But this was not one of his finer moments. The Greek Freak looked guaranteed to score when he got the ball right under the basket, with only Dwyane Wade anywhere near him....

Nike Promises To Fix Their Shitty NBA Jerseys
This is the first of Nike’s eight-year, $1 billion apparel deal with the NBA. Which massive corporation is responsible for making the league’s jerseys is usually of very little concern to anyone, but Nike has caught everyone’s attention in a bad way by making jerseys that won’t stop ripping....

Being bad is bad enough, but being bad in a season in which they were trendy Super Bowl contenders is going to cost coach Ben McAdoo his job, and maybe GM Jerry Reese his, and possibly even spell the end of Eli Manning’s time in N...
