Collin Sexton totally got in the way of Brooklyn Nets’ ‘Big 3' debut
We tuned in to see the return of Kyrie Irving as he was finally going to join James Harden and Kevin Durant in the most offensively-gifted trio in NBA history. What we wound up getting was a coming-out party from a rising star, as Cleveland’s Collin Sexton crashed Brooklyn’s bash as the Cavs defeate...

NBA Daily Fantasy: With tiny two-game slate, now is not the night to avoid Nikola Jokic
The amount of fingers Kendrick Lamar tells you to put in the air during HiiiPower is higher than the amount of NBA games scheduled for tonight. Fret not, misled degenerate, that makes the evening more enticing, not less. If you subscribe to the preference of being a big fish in a small pond, these t...

Mets fire creep Jared Porter hours after report of his sex harassment
It had been one of the few Mets offseasons with a glow. A new owner who, at least at the moment, wants to run the team like it should be run. The acquisition of possibly the most fun player in the league in Francisco Lindor. But this is the Mets, and stepping on a rake is never more than two strides...

NBA Daily Fantasy: Who to watch for on a loaded MLK Day slate
Nine games scheduled; we’ll see if that stands. Hopefully you’re reading this before noon, otherwise, you’ll have missed the Knicks vs. the Magic. If you did that on purpose, I’d understand. (The Knicks are pretty fun so far, though!) Anyway, we’ll begin tonight across the bridge from them in Brookl...

Renel Brooks-Moon is the public address announcer for the San Francisco Giants. She was only the second woman to get that job in Major League Baseball when she took over for the first, Sherry Davis, in 2000. She’s also one of the few Black public address announcers in MLB....

NBA Daily Fantasy: Why would you <em>not</em> play Kevin Durant? And is the debuting Kristaps Porzingis worth a look?
We’ll have to wait and see how he feels in March or so, but so far, Kevin Durant’s been an MVP candidate. Did you see him last night against the Denver Nuggets? And people think the Nets will drop off without Kyrie Irving. Pffft. The Slim Reaper won’t let that happen. Let’s stay in Brooklyn for the ...

Fantasy basketball waiver wire: Pick-ups to consider to save your imploding COVID-ridden roster
More NBA players are either testing positive, are sitting out due to contact tracing, or are simply injured entering week four of the season. Now is about the time where you’ve already shuffled a few spots, your injured reserves are filling up, and you’re scouring your waiver wire for worthwhile fa...

Bet your daily fantasy fortunes on Bradley Beal normally, but especially tonight
As COVID continues to evade NBA locker rooms like Clickers in The Last Of Us (which also takes place a pandemic, oddly enough), degenerates are scrapping for answers as players drop out of lineups throughout the league. Read those lineups carefully, because some last-second scratches might come so l...

Florida government declares college football more important than COVID vaccine
It’s pretty easy to feel hopeless after the past week. There have been far more dangerous, frightening, and completely deflating examples of how our priorities and perceptions have been borked beyond repair. So to find comedy in the state of Florida putting a halt to COVID testing and vaccinations a...

NBA Daily Fantasy: Can Most Improved Player Julius Randle keep this up?

On Tuesday night, amid a global pandemic that sacked college football every week, and during a historic election night in Georgia that will have a long-lasting impact on America, Alabama wide receiver DeVonta Smith won the Heisman Trophy during a very lowkey and virtual ceremony....

Endorsing LeBron's 'Dream' to rid Atlanta WNBA team of Kelly Loeffler (plus suggested partners!)
You’ve probably heard by now that a seismic shift has occurred politically, socially, and otherwise, thanks largely to the WNBA’s Atlanta Dream. They began pushing to rid Kelly Loeffler from the United States Senate, ending with Reverend Raphael Warnock defeating her and actually doing what she neve...

WNBA players risked it all to bring down one of their owners; it’s time we all supported them
Angel McCoughtry, who was drafted by the Dream in 2009 and still lives in Atlanta, spent the last few months supporting Rev. Raphael Warnock’s candidacy for Georgia Senate over the woman who essentially signed her checks for years....

Derrick Rose (’memba him?) has quietly been a reliable fantasy guard option
I don’t even know where to begin. There are 11 games to choose from, and we’re gonna throw out some names to consider in your fantasy ventures. Yesterday wasn’t terrible. Kyrie Irving smacked the Jazz as called, Keldon Johnson came through, Enes Kanter bombed with two points despite 10 rebounds, and...
