Dwane Casey Thanks Raptors Fans For Being Canadian
It sucks that the Raptors fired Dwane Casey. They probably had to do it—they’ve lost like a hundred straight playoff games to LeBron James, and the systemic and cultural changes Casey engineered this past season made not even the slightest dent in James’s dominance, and they can’t any longer credibl...

LeBron James Just Got The Coach Of The Year Fired
Toronto Raptors head coach Dwane Casey was voted by his peers as the NBA’s coach of the year two days ago.

The Benching Of DeMar DeRozan Feels Like A Point Of No Return For The Raptors
That the Cavs won Game 3, at home, on another act of eye-popping heroism from LeBron James, should surprise exactly no one. The Cavs were the favorites, they won both games in Toronto, they have the best player in the world, and the Raptors are cursed. But that doesn’t mean the game wasn’t without g...

No One Needs To Help True Rich Asshole Casey Wasserman Bring The Olympics To L.A.<em></em><em></em>
Next week, the International Olympic Committee will gather for a vote on a recommendation to award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympic Games to Paris and Los Angeles. It might not be official until the IOC formally votes on host cities in Lima in September, but at this point it’s become clear that Los ...
Keep The Olympics The Fuck Out Of Los Angeles
Last summer, Rio de Janeiro put on an Olympic Games that should serve as a blaring warning siren to any potential host city stupid enough to want to pay billions for the rights to the Games. Before the Games had been out of town four months, Rio de Janeiro had to declare bankruptcy because they were...
Things Are Not Good For The Blue Jays, Who Are Starting A 29-Year-Old Rookie Tonight
Most of the panic around the Blue Jays and their major-league-worst record of 4-12 has focused on their offense, and rightfully so—they’ve been the worst in baseball, with a collective slash line of .215./.283/.323. Three weeks into the season, their team offensive WAR is a negative number. (There a...
The Raptors Are Sliding And Kyle Lowry Is Giving Ominous Quotes
“Keeping the same situations over and over, and not being successful, something’s gotta give, something’s gotta change,” said Kyle Lowry after the Raptors pissed away a 16-point lead over the Pistons to lose their 10th game in 14 outings. Some of those were particularly ugly for a team that fancies ...

What The Hell Is Dwane Casey Doing?
Raptors head coach Dwane Casey has been put in an extremely unenviable position as he tries to guide his team to the Eastern Conference Finals.

The Best Baseball Drill Is The One Where You Just Throw The Ball Hard As Fuck
Until today, I had never heard of a pull-down, a baseball drill in which one crow hops towards a target and then unleashes a fastball from about 30 feet away. It looks like a hell of a lot of fun, though. ...
Dexter Fowler's Agent Rips Into The Orioles And The Baseball Media
Dexter Fowler re-signed with the Chicago Cubs on a one-year deal, with a mutual option for a second, earlier today. That was a bit surprising, because just two days ago it was widely reported that he’d agreed to a three-year deal with the Baltimore Orioles. ...
Let's Relive The Time Sean Casey Got Thrown Out At First From Left Field
For no particular reason, former ballplayer Sean Casey went on the Dan Patrick Show today and talked about the time he got thrown out at first on a ball he hit to left field. We don’t really need a reason to relive this play, though, because it was a truly great moment in baseball history, and Casey...
