The Avalanche can still make it look easy. The problem is, they don't often seem to want to
It hasn’t been the smoothest season for the Colorado Avalanche.

Are lawyers in Ja Morant's case really dissecting how one checks the ball in pick-up games?
Ja Morant’s life has become a theater of the absurd and that continued Monday. Instead of executing crisp crossovers while Kyrie Irving plays ragged defense, Morant is finishing his 25-game suspension and was taking part in cross-examinations and scuffing up courtroom wood. As a consequence, Morant ...

There is nothing wrong with Shohei Ohtani's salary deferment
The numbers finally came in on Shohei Ohtani’s deal with the Dodgers and the Dodgers finally announced it themselves, and it’s a bit of a doozy. Ohtani will be deferring $68 million of his $70 million annual salary until the 10 years after his 10-year deal. The $2 million salary is fine for him give...
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...

The numbers don’t lie: Steph, Klay and Dray’s Golden State Gilded Age is over
Around 2017, I realized I was behind the curve by using free Pandora. I still kept my account for another few years out of an irrational attachment to it, long after everyone else had matriculated away from Pandora digital radio towards Spotify. That’s how it feels watching Golden State try to count...

There is a whole mess of teams clustered together with 7-6 records in the AFC. One of those teams is not the Cleveland Browns.

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...
