NBA Daily Fantasy: Steph Curry will save you on this limited game-night
Much like a couple of nights ago, the slate tonight is thinner than your life-span when flying an airplane in Grand Theft Auto V. Seriously, even nearly eight years later I still can’t get the hang of it. Sucks when virtual condos just get in your way sometimes. ...
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...
Good Riddance Kelly Loeffler, the WNBA will be better without you
We all figured this day was coming....
Time to put Bonds and Clemens in the Hall of Fame, because my ballot is about numbers, not punishment

NBA Daily Fantasy: Of all the great center options tonight, who will provide the best value?
The day is finally here. The day of change. The day of a new beginning. The day the franchise enters a new realm. The day we could finally experience new heights. A fresh start. A clean slate. A new vision. ...
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...
Dear Jackie MacMullan: Kyrie Irving and Black NBA players aren’t anybody’s ‘property’
Jackie MacMullan is one of the world’s best sportswriters and has covered a Black league in the NBA for decades. As a woman working in a male-dominated industry, you would think she would have a good grasp on the diminished role minorities have historically played in sports....
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...
Liverpool, Manchester United draw to leave door open for Manchester City
Perhaps no match felt weirder without fans than the biggest rivalry in English football. Usually the atmosphere for a Liverpool-Man United match can be described as overly passionate, vitriolic, psychotic, poisonous, and/or blood-thirsty. Without the 55,000 baying until their lungs shriveled and fil...
Pam Oliver is an OG and the slander must stop
Pam Oliver is a legend who doesn’t need anyone to defend her. She’s been producing stellar on-air work since before many of the people trolling her were even alive. But after a report during the divisional matchup between the Rams and the Packers on Saturday, many people decided to come for the broa...
Harden puts up triple-double in 'New Jersey' Nets debut
James Harden’s debut with the Nets was a successful one, as the new Brooklyn superstar notched a triple-double with 32 points, 14 assists, and 12 rebounds in a 122-115 win over the Orlando Magic....
Caris LeVert has mass on kidney, revealed by MRI after trade to Pacers; will undergo more tests
James Harden might have thought that his trade from the Rockets to the Nets was a godsend. For Caris LeVert, it really might have been....

NBA Daily Fantasy: Someone’s gotta score for the Houston Rockets tonight
I’ve never smoked crack before, but the rush of an NBA transaction probably brings me closer to that feeling than the Houston Rockets were to making any of their 27 straight threes to end that infamous game 7. That James Harden trade … man, hopefully, we could actually get through this season....
NBA Daily Fantasy: Will Tyler Herro take advantage of a depleted Heat roster?
We’re beginning to see actual cancellations, so bet carefully. FanDuel didn’t even list the Philadelphia 76ers versus Miami Heat game but fret not. Two of today’s choices come from that game, but alternatives will be provided for FD players. You’ll be missing out, though!...

Brady puts up video game numbers with Lions set on rookie mode
Five previous times, someone posted a perfect passer rating of 158.3 for the Buccaneers, most recently Craig Erickson, who went 19-for-24 for 313 yards and three touchdowns against the Colts in 1994....
