Several Wrong Ways To Say "Philadelphia Eagles"
There was always some risk involved, in retrospect. The balance of power on the Deadcast has always been tenuous in Drew’s absence, with Marchman’s powerfully Marchmanian energy in dynamic tension with my own pure and righteous handsomeness. Sometimes the guests have evened this out, and sometimes, ...
Brewers Improve Team Through Novel Strategy Of Spending Money On Talented Player
After a long, icy stretch in which the most noteworthy signing was probably Troy Tulowitzki, the hot stove finally flashed some sparks on Wednesday night, as the Milwaukee Brewers got out their checkbooks to pick up a top-notch free agent. Former Los Angeles Dodgers catcher Yasmani Grandal is moving...
I Regret To Inform You That Stephen A. Smith Is In A Feud With The Arizona Cardinals
Stephen A. Smith is constantly whapping back and forth between the poles that make up his on-air persona: entertainer and dummy. At the latter, it can be really bad, like when he’s breaking down a matchup by citing three different players who are no longer with the team, or much more harmfully, lett...
Dallas Sportscaster Argues Coaches Of Color Are Not Getting A Fair Shot At NFL Head-Coaching Jobs<em></em>
Dallas sportscaster Dale Hansen has been known to deliver his opinions on topics surrounding the world of sports and beyond during late night segments for ABC affiliate WFAA. Those opinions are often known to go viral, as we’ve noted before. In his latest segment, Hansen tackled the issue of white p...
The Bucks Just Provided The League With A Blueprint On Stopping James Harden And The Rockets
Like with any of the NBA’s elite players, teams can often extrapolate victories from limiting the damage a player is capable of doing in lieu of expecting to stop them entirely. This was the case in the Milwaukee Bucks’ 116-109 victory against the Rockets on Wednesday night. Not only was the team ab...
Don't Slap The Floor Against Luka Dončić<em></em>
Luka Dončić has very quickly gone from that player who puts up great stat lines in the face of losses, to that young star whose performances can inspire his team to victory. Most of that comes from his unique experience when compared to the other rookies in his class. His time playing in Europe has...
Jets Hire Adam Gase In Hopes Of Going 7-9<em></em>
The New York Jets’ head coaching search has reportedly come to an end with the selection of perhaps the most boring name on the market. Despite a list of potential candidates that included exciting assistants like Kansas City’s offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy or hotshot Cowboys d-backs coach Kri...
Dumb Little Pissbaby Trevor Bauer Got In Trouble And It's Going To Make Him So Mad He Can't Tweet About This Blog<em></em>
Less than three hours after tweeting “I’ve done nothing wrong,” Trevor Bauer sort of admitted it was wrong of him to harass a 21-year-old woman on Twitter for days and days....
Montrezl Harrell Is Undersized And He Is So Strong
In the Los Angeles Clippers’ wonky lineup, Montrezl Harrell stands no taller than Danilo Gallinari and Tobias Harris, the sharp-shooting forwards he often shares the floor with. As one of the league’s shortest fives, Harrell has learned to compensate with the subtle and little-known technique of bei...
There's Nothing To Say About What Andrew Wiggins Said That's Not Conditional<em></em>
Andrew Wiggins went off for 40 points on the Thunder last night in a lively game that featured 32-year-old interim coach Ryan Saunders getting his first win and Thunder guard Dennis Schröder getting ejected for shoving. Wiggins was asked about Schröder’s ejection after the game, and he either said, ...
Bring Back Good Fast-Breaks
The Wizards were down by like 32 points last night, and I was watching old NBA highlights, as I, an extremely old person whose brain has been turned into a Slurpee by worms, am wont to do when it probably would be smarter and more productive to do blogs instead. And it occurred to me that a fast-bre...
Gregg Williams Is Now Free To Talk To All Of Those NFL Teams Who Wanted Him As A Head Coach<em></em>
The Browns decided today that offensive coordinator Freddie Kitchens will be the team’s next head coach. He will be tasked with leading the Browns into what appears to be a promising future, and he will not be joined on that journey by defensive coordinator Gregg Williams....
ESPN Radio Dork Says Deshaun Watson Needed To "Dress Better" At Clemson Game
Jared Stillman hosts a sports radio show on ESPN’s Nashville affiliate. He also, judging by a tweet he sent out during Monday night’s national championship game between Clemson and Alabama, appears to be a bit of a dingdong....
Beefy Baseball Hero Willians Astudillo Unabashedly Admires The Hell Out Of His Handiwork
When last we checked on large lad Willians Astudillo, he was hoofing it from first to home with the crazed eyes and petrified rictus of a man being chased by wolves. It’s cold now, and dark, and the things of summer are but painful memories, but it turns out baseball is being played somewhere, and w...
Idiot On The Court Rudely Upstages Nikola Jokic's Game-Winner
Nikola Jokic dumped in a highly Jokic-esque bucket with 2.4 seconds remaining Tuesday night to beat the Miami Heat. It was goofy and ugly and I’m sure Heat fans hated it all the more for looking like total luck, but anyway it went in and that’s just how it goes:...
The End Is Nigh
The good news: A supremely gifted superstar center who has missed every minute of what has already been a pretty fun NBA season is nearly ready to return to action. The bad news: The happy and light-filled days when we are able to pretend that teams other than the Golden State Warriors have a realis...
Jameis Winston-Liker Bruce Arians Will Un-Retire To Coach The Buccaneers
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have landed Bruce Arians as their next head coach, to replace the recently fired Dirk Koetter. The coaching carousel is spinning away: Arians will reportedly bring the recently fired Todd Bowles to Tampa as his defensive coordinator, while Koetter is returning to the Falcons...
Karl-Anthony Towns Is Sneakily Becoming An Adept Passer
Karl-Anthony Towns has gone on a tear in the new year, averaging 28.3 points on 62 percent true shooting and 15.0 boards through three games. A more surprising and slightly longer-running trend, meanwhile, is his average of 4.6 assists over his last 10 games. As a seven-footer with range out to thre...
Report: New USC Offensive Coordinator Kliff Kingsbury Is Now New Arizona Cardinals Head Coach Kliff Kingsbury
It feels like barely even a month ago that Kliff Kingsbury departed his head coaching gig at Texas Tech and arrived at USC to be the Trojans’ new offensive coordinator. But now, after a remarkable run that saw USC go 0-0 and Kingsbury’s offense put up #DIV/0! yards per game, the 39-year-old is heade...
