Baseball’s winter of discontent begins
As baseball’s non-tender deadline passed last night, it didn’t end up being the bloodbath that some had predicted, and indeed was expected. Fifty-nine players who could have been offered a contract weren’t, which is a slight rise from the 54 who found themselves in the same situation last year, when...
The Niners are setting up shop in Arizona, but Stanford’s not so lucky
Stanford University is in the northwest corner of Santa Clara County, which means that the various Cardinal teams cannot play or practice on campus for the next three weeks, in accordance with the COVID restrictions that have resulted in the 49ers making a temporary move to Arizona....
Where should DeMar DeRozan have a good time?
LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan are still San Antonio Spurs. They probably shouldn’t be for the entire 2020-21 season, given that the Western Conference playoff outlook will likely exclude them. Last week, I wrote about a set of teams that should target Aldridge between now and the trade deadlin...

Santa Clara shuts down sports ... again
After a lot of what’s felt like shouting into the void about how the pandemic is not only still here, but worse and more widespread than it was in March, and how stupid it is to keep doing sports in this environment, it’s good to see that somebody with the ability to do something about it … finally ...
Week 12 matchups to avoid
Week 12 of the NFL season is off to a very confusing start, with the Ravens and Steelers game being postponed. Twice. Fantasy football is hard enough to navigate without the schedule constantly moving as well, but such is football in 2020. We’ll take what we can get....
One of these contenders should trade for human secret ingredient LaMarcus Aldridge
$24 million due in the 2020-21 season, a 15 percent trade kicker, and one season removed from a stretch of seven All-Star appearances over eight seasons.

Enjoy a Thanksgiving Daily Fantasy spread with all the trimmings [Updated]
It’s late on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving as I write this (but you probably won’t read this until Thursday morning, like a normal person). Maybe your turkey is brining, maybe it’s resting in your fridge, maybe it’s on the smoker, maybe you aren’t doing a turkey at all. Whatever Thanksgiving l...
The Lakers, Sixers & Hawks crushed free agency
As crazy as 2020 has been, it makes sense that the wildest part of the NBA’s season – free agency – had a milder tone this year....
All the highs and lows from a wonky week of fantasy football
It’s Monday. Sorry about that. But hey, it’s not all bad. We have more football to look forward to tonight, with a lot of fantasy assets on the field between Tompa Bay and the Los Angeles Rams. Yesterday was straight up kooky, like most Sundays are. Like, for instance, this:...
Who are the hidden gems of NBA Free Agency so far?
This is not to guarantee that every single one of these esteemed gentlemen will be awesome, nor are these the only signings who fit the ‘under-the-radar’ bill. Rather, these are several guys who should thrive in their respective new homes. When looking back a year from now, 1) Hopefully, we will hav...
Jim Nantz wants CBS to pay him like someone with a personality
In some ways you can’t begrudge Jim Nantz for asking for the bag. He probably looks to his right most Sundays, sees the Jerry Lewis soundboard that is Tony Romo, and figures A) Just by having to sit next to that overrated, handsome gas bag for four hours a week is worth $17 million a year. And B) If...
