Is Jimmy Garoppolo’s Super Bowl pick laced with sour grapes or is he just keeping it real?
Jimmy Garoppolo was an integral part of the San Francisco 49ers’ last run to the Super Bowl where they lost to the same Kansas City Chiefs team.

It still doesn't feel like Kobe Bryant is dead
It is still difficult to grasp that Kobe Bryant has not been alive to experience the majority of his post-NBA career enshrinements. He was not here for his Basketball Hall of Fame induction, the NBA All-75 team, or the Thursday unveiling of his statue outside of Crypto.com Arena. ...
Lamar Jackson and the players to win multiple NFL MVP awards
Thursday night’s NFL Awards dinner put Lamar Jackson in elite company. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback became just the 11th signal-caller to win multiple AP NFL MVP Awards. Jackson snuck in past Brett Favre and Patrick Mahomes to become the second-youngest multi-time MVP winner behind Jim Brown. In...
The non-Mahomes, Purdy players to watch in Super Bowl LVIII
You know the big names of this Super Bowl matchup already. There’s no need to talk about Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy anymore, treating a 53-on-53-man matchup like it’s a one-on-one boxing match. We’ve gotten enough coverage of the Travis Kelces and the Christian McCaffreys of this game. ...
The Swifties Guide to Super Bowl LVIII

Keeping track of all the NBA trades before the deadline ends
The NBA Trade Deadline is officially upon us. While the deadline may not be as exciting as years past with big stars going on the move, it’s a deadline that’s as important as any in recent memory.

The 2024 NBA trade deadline is DOA
Please for the love of God stop reading this. The 2024 deadline has absolutely no pulse. Do not confuse the volume of trades made with value. I repeat. Do not confuse the volume of trades made with value. This is the Al Capone’s vault of trade deadlines. Instead of Woj Bombs, Adrian Wojnarowski is d...
People think Brock Purdy looks like JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. They are kinda right
There are athletes with celebrity doppelgangers. Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff bears a resemblance to actor Ryan Gossling. Former Super Bowl-winning signal-caller Nick Foles kinda looks like Napolean Dynamite star Jon Heder. ...
Kyrie Irving says NY mayor to blame for lackluster Nets tenure
Dallas Mavericks guard Kyrie Irving made his return to the Barclays Center for the first time since being traded.

Sorry, Knicks fans. LeBron James is just not that into you
LeBron James sure does love stringing Knicks fans along. It wouldn’t be a pre-agency year for the all-time scoring champ if he weren’t using the Knicks as leverage. In 2010, the Knicks thought they had him. Donnie Walsh had Mike D’Antoni installed as head coach, the cap room to Carmelo Anthony, the ...
