The Bucks-Pacers rivalry is now spectacular. Thank you, NBA's In-Season Tournament
The NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament has been worth it for all involved. For the Los Angeles Lakers, many men who could use a $500,000 direct deposit got it. Tyrese Haliburton emerged from the tourney as the newest NBA superstar. Also, a real inter-division rivalry is budding. The Indiana Pacers...
An open invitation for Buster Posey to screw off
As we mentioned last night, the San Francisco Giants are in full ass-covering mode after missing out on their third prime free agent.

Golden State needs to let go of the past
The NBA season is now a three-part campaign. The NBA Cup is the opening sprint featuring teams working Usain Bolt hours to determine the NBA’s 100-meter champion.

The NBA In-Season Tournament crowd sounded like the ones in the bubble
Adam Silver’s attempt to bring more excitement to the NBA’s regular season fell a little flat in its first attempt. It’s only the first In-Season Tournament, so there are sure to be kinks to work out, but maybe it wasn’t the best idea to have the final on a neutral court. ...
Monday night's doubleheader was everything that is great about football
Part of football’s charm is its unpredictability. “Any given Sunday,” is more than a cliche. It is a phrase that accurately describes the sport as long as you’re not literal about the day of the week. There are a large number of moving parts attempting to work in unison while being slammed into by o...
So how much does Shohei Ohtani really improve the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024?
Much like Susie Izzard (Drink!) says chiropractors “LIVE FOR THE NOISE!” I too live for the noise of the offseason. We can’t get much more than Shohei Ohtani and his reps donated to us, or at least their methods of sending the baseball press into orbit did. There should be much more to come, but the...
Bills, Chiefs renew rivalry in Week 14 with both squads desperate for a win
In Week 14, one of the best rivalries in recent memory gets renewed when the Buffalo Bills travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs.

Just in time for the holiday: Athletes you didn't know had their own alcohol brands
There are so many celebrity alcohol brands these days that it’s hard to keep track of. There’s a shocking amount of athletes with their own line of booze. While there’s a handful you probably know, you’d be surprised just how many athletes are behind some of the labels at your local liquor store. Th...
This week in the NBA: Ime Udoka wrong to jaw with Lebron James; top 3 rookies are off to rough starts
Everyone who works for the NBA or one of its franchises should always behave in a professional manner. That being said, the head coach is supposed to be the person in charge of the team. A head coach is like the general manager of a store. That person may not own the place, but the person does need ...
Shohei Ohtani signing affects more than his new team
As the sweepstakes for Shohei Ohtani is starting to dwindle as the decision comes closer, there are a few things that are certain with his new contract. It will be the biggest in American sports history, the team that signs him gets the best player in the world on their roster, and reporters who cov...
It's almost 2024 and the Yankees still won't allow beards
Earlier this year, the New York Yankees added sponsored sleeve patches to player jerseys, but as one ex-player pointed out, still won’t let go of its outdated facial hair policy that’s likely still costing the Bronx Bombers from signing certain players....
Giannis and Zion sure sounded like they, too, didn’t take the In-Season Tournament seriously
The biggest questions facing the NBA’s In-Season Tournament were: Would people care? Would fans care? Would players care? Because if no one cares, then we’re back to square one of the Association’s conundrum and watching effortless (not the good kind) December basketball. ...
