Mark Cuban tries to get NBA fans to narc on themselves

Being the businessman that Mark Cuban is, sometimes he would like information directly from the public. The people in the big office chairs may not give credence to what the masses think. If they want to remove the most highly-regarded name in the history of television from an app they will, despite...

Check out the multiple crashes that red-flagged the Indy 500 <i>three times</i> in the last 15 laps [Updated]

First off, and most importantly, everyone came out of this crash at the Indy 500 okay. But check out this dash cam footage of what it was like inside driver Kyle Kirkwood’s car after he was clipped by Felix Rosenqvist, who skimmed into the wall and spun out into traffic. Even the broadcasting crew h...

Glen Kuiper said his excitement is why he 'rushed’ and said the N-word...riiiggghtttt [Update]

Glen Kuiper didn’t misspeak less than three weeks ago during a pregame segment when detailing his trip to the Negro Leagues Baseball Museum in Kansas City. That hateful six-letter word doesn’t just slip out of your mouth unless you’ve used it dozens of times before and it’s part of your vernacular. ...

Don’t watch NFL playoff games exclusively broadcast on streaming services if you don’t want them there

The NFL has sold the rights to a playoff game to Peacock, the streaming service owned by NBC. ...

The NBA Playoffs have earlier start times from here on out — God is good

In 2015, I was in Los Angeles for the annual Online News Association Conference. It meant that as a Michigan native, I was up at 9:00 am PST to watch the Wolverines obliterate BYU 31-0 in a college football game that had a noon kickoff on East Coast time. That was also the day that I understood the ...

Sunday was yet another banner day for ESPN being morons

Perhaps ESPN spent Sunday tripping over its own dick simply to distract from all the people they’re firing. After all, make yourself look like a truly stupid and balloon-handed organization and the masses might feel that those you’ve let go are actually better off (believe me I know). That would be ...

The Detroit Lions having almost as many primetime games as the Philadelphia Eagles is crazy

Sometimes, things are so insanely true that they seem false....

Lakers-Warriors Game 4 doubled as a West Coast DJ set

It is a shame that TNT has the Eastern Conference Finals this season. I have enjoyed New Edition at halftime during the Boston Celtics vs. Philadelphia 76ers second-round matchup, and once the Miami Heat finish off the New York Knicks I do want to hear all of the Slip and Slide and Rick Ross catalog...

The NBA playoff ratings have been FANtastic

Well, Phil Jackson, it turns out that the NBA has not woked itself out of the American television landscape. Some news that you won’t find on the disingenuous provocateur in Nashville’s timeline is that the first round of the 2023 NBA Playoffs was a smash hit. ...

Who took the worst low blow in the NBA Playoffs so far? | Agree to Disagree

When did the NBA playoffs become the NHL playoffs?

The first round of the NBA playoffs usually isn’t all that good, which doesn’t stop people from complaining about it. The difference between the top seeds and lower seeds is large enough that those series should result in nothing more than dress rehearsals for the true powers and the later rounds. W...

United offers to comp Demar DeRozan's daughter's flight to Miami

Chicago Bulls star DeMar DeRozan doesn’t want his daughter Diar to miss any more school after she attended — and possibly swung the game in the Bulls’ favor — the team’s 109-105 play-in tournament win over the Toronto Raptors on Wednesday instead of being in class. ...

The NBA has a Charles Barkley problem — again

TNT’s flagship show Inside The NBA is at its best this time of the year, as fans tune in multiple times per week to watch Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, Ernie Johnson, and Shaquille O’Neal do their thing. But what happens when the star of the NBA’s biggest and best studio show gets on TV to tell fans...

Bill Belichick is reportedly shopping Mac Jones because he's still pissed at the QB

Bill Belichick must have forgotten that he is not the only football luminary who has been Mac Jones’ head coach. Jones played college football for Nick Saban — arguably Belichick’s greatest student. Remember, “One band, one sound,” from the movie Drumline? That line is Alabama football. Every person...

The best games of the final week of the 2022-23 NBA regular-season Schedule

It’s the final week of the NBA regular season. Usually I would advise sports fans to get one last glimpse at a young team like the Orlando Magic before their season comes to an end. This season, my viewing recommendation is to wait until next season to watch the youngsters. They likely will have imp...

Focus, people. There are only two weeks remaining in the NBA season....

The Golden State Warriors core is discovering its first gray hairs

The Golden State Warriors have been hovering at or around .500 all season long. In 2020 and 2021 you could chalk it up to injuries and the reloading process. That championship hill their overwhelming talent allowed them to ascend is starting to appear too steep for their core to climb on its own. A ...

The best NBA games on this week’s schedule

This is the time of year in which sports fans should be primarily focused on the Men’s and Women’s college basketball postseason tournaments. The “amateurs” have put on quite a show that deserves attention this week....
