Pelicans Brass: Please Stop Calling Our GM A Pile Of Poop
Dell Demps has not had a great run as general manager of the New Orleans Pelicans. Mostly he has squandered the early part of Anthony Davis’s career, weighing down the roster with stiffs like Ömer Aşik and Alexis Ajinça, and making years’ worth of win-now moves that never actually produced a sustai...
Did You Hear About This? The Giants Have Two Players Named Eli, And They Traded The Wrong Freakin' One!

You Can't Hide Eli Manning
Here’s a fun thing to think about: Has an offense with the quality of skill players that the New York Giants possess ever looked this bad?
