LaMelo Ball makes critics look silly with runaway Rookie of the Year bid
The fear was that LaMelo Ball’s once loud and now apparently mute father, LaVar, would be overbearing. That his seemingly reckless style of play in high school and overseas would make him an awful NBA teammate. That he won’t be able to get his jump shot corrected to produce in the NBA. That he has a...

Why was Vegas’ Tomáš Nosek (or Kevin Durant or Justin Turner) playing while waiting on COVID test result?
When we look back on this point in time years down the road, and really know the full effects of charging ahead with sports through a pandemic, there’s a chance we’ll wonder how we could have been so reckless. There’s also a chance nothing may come of it. We don’t know. But using the fact that we do...

Tom Brady has won so many Lombardi Trophies that he just doesn’t seem to care anymore.

Venus Williams is still there
The Australian Open is candy for the insomnia and drunk crowd, both of which I happen to be a member. I guess it has the same charm as New Japan Pro Wrestling’s Wrestle Kingdom.
