Some hard-hit baseballs aren’t content just to do their damage on the scoreboard.

The Kings Screwed It Up!
First of all, it’s important to note that making predictions on draft night, or trying to grade teams’ picks, is a fool’s game.

Did Woj Just Tip The First Six Picks Of The NBA Draft?

The Worst Haircuts Of The World Cup, According To Me
The World Cup only comes around every four years. In that time, soccer fans wait in agony, sustained by the belief that their team will make it to the world stage, and then win big against its foes.

The Kings Are Going To Screw This Up Somehow
Any and all pre-draft player prognostication must come with the caveat that no one actually knows anything, at this point.
