Minnesota and New York listened to the NBA on load management and guess what happened
The NBA’s annual battle of attrition that precedes the playoffs struck again as Minnesota Timberwolves big man Karl-Anthony Towns is out indefinitely with a torn meniscus. It’s the same ailment that forced Philadelphia Sixers center Joel Embiid to the sidelines, and one that should be treated with a...
The Avalanche have gone full Freddie Four Fingers
The NHL trade deadline has gotten into high gear a couple days before Friday afternoon’s deadline, so let’s roll through the highlights of what’s already gone down....
It was time for Jamal Adams and the Seattle Seahawks to part ways
The Seattle Seahawks are entering a retooling phase. It’s not quite a full-on rebuild but there’s enough movement within the organization on and off the field that the team will look quite different next season. It was announced on Tuesday that the Seahawks would be releasing three-time Pro Bowl saf...
The Rangers have a big, dumb sideshow: Matt Rempe
It was natural to think the New York Rangers “got it” after they traded in the misguided clenched jaw ways of Gerrard Gallant behind the bench for the usually up-tempo ways of Peter Laviolette after the Devils essentially skated them out of the building last spring in the first round. The Devils wer...
The Buccaneers finally came to their senses with Mike Evans
Mike Evans is a Hall of Fame talent. His 1,255 receiving yards last season makes him the only player in NFL history to record 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first 10 NFL seasons.

Dejounte Murray hurt an NBA ref's delicate feelings; wound up with a T
Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray found out the hard way Saturday night about getting on an official’s bad side. During Atlanta’s 114-102 loss to the Brooklyn Nets, Murray was given a technical foul during a timeout while sitting on the sideline. Apparently, NBA referees have resorted to handing o...
We present to you February 2024's Idiots of the Month
Welcome to the first edition of Idiots of the Month for 2024 (we may have been overwhelmed with idiocy in January, and declined to choose five from the nominees — or we may have been distracted by the Super Bowl). Luckily for us, February brought us a fresh, new crop of idiots, and one idiot who is ...
This may upset Rob Manfred, but starting pitchers are not ever going to be what they used to be
It’s easy to say that MLB gets too caught up in its past and tries too hard to be the game it once was. A major part of baseball’s charm is its connection to its past. While the other sports don’t look anything like they did even 20 or 30 years ago, baseball doesn’t ever move too far from what it’s ...
The Portland Timbers just did something almost no other pro team would do
Portland Timbers CEO Heather Davis just gave other pro sports teams a master class in how to handle problematic people tied to the club and, according to her, it wasn’t even a tough decision. ...

Here are increasingly radical solutions to combat the NBA’s overpowered offenses
Scoring in the NBA has ticked up at an exponential rate in the last decade. It doesn’t take Hercule Poirot to figure out what killed NBA defenses. This is a shooter’s league now....
You probably forgot these NHL players were on these teams
The NHL has seen some greats that stick out for their time with one specific franchise. What if we told you that they didn’t only play for that one team? Remember when Bruins Legend Bobby Orr was a Blackhawk? Us either. Here is a list of players you might not remember making the rosters of other tea...
Have the Premier League’s financial rules kept Newcastle from being Newcastle?
While the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules might have lost a shade or two off their teeth with the news today that Everton have had their 10-point penalty reduced to six on appeal (though they have another charge to dodge), that doesn’t mean they’re not having an effect. The desolate...
Despite the NFL salary cap rising, these players may be cut
The NFL officially set its salary cap at a record high of $255.4 million for the 2024 season. With that number comes the difficult task of cap clearing. Creating cap space is the top priority for teams until the new league year starts in a few weeks, and with it comes the loss of jobs. Here are the ...
Don't be Kenny Smith; Redick blasts Rivers; the Knicks are back; How about that ASG?
You don’t have to put on the pom-poms for Sabrina Ionescu or women’s sports, but too many broadcasters are happy to communicate that women’s participation, or records, or fandom is somehow less than. ...
The New York Rangers are the NHL's hottest team
The New York Rangers are the hottest team in the NHL right now. The Blueshirts currently sit atop the Metropolitan Division with 79 points and hold a six-point lead over the Carolina Hurricanes. ...
Here's a second-half NBA prediction: Intermittent switch-flipping
It felt like the NBA used to be a lot more consistent. The teams that were good in the regular season also were good in the postseason, for the most part, and if you looked and/or played like a scrub, you were usually dismissed like one. During this era, it’s almost as if you should wait to lay futu...
Remember Punt God? He just signed with the Super Bowl champs
Reigning Super Bowl champions the Kansas City Chiefs are signing punter Matt Araiza, according to a report from ESPN’s Adam Schefter. ...
Here are the possible landing spots for Bears QB Justin Fields
Justin Fields’ days as a Chicago Bear might be coming to an end. With rumors circulating about if the team will draft a new QB — undoubtedly former Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams — with that No. 1 pick, keep Fields, or trade him, here are six teams who have either emerged as front runners for ...
