Where should DeMar DeRozan have a good time?
LaMarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan are still San Antonio Spurs. They probably shouldn’t be for the entire 2020-21 season, given that the Western Conference playoff outlook will likely exclude them. Last week, I wrote about a set of teams that should target Aldridge between now and the trade deadlin...

The NFL is tying itself in knots of its own making
What has been apparent from the very first week, maybe even training camp, was that the NFL was dead set on completing every game on its schedule, no matter what it had to trudge through or rearrange. In the league’s mind, it would be a show of its strength, dominance, and/or ingenuity that it gets ...

The Denver Broncos have set football back 115 years
The first legal forward pass in professional football history was completed by Massillon’s George Parratt in 1906. Today, the Denver Broncos were forced to play a game that more closely resembled a game from 1905 than anything we’ve seen lately....

The Weight Of The World: Balancing fight camp during Thanksgiving week … and a pandemic
Bas Rutten was once invited to a Japanese dojo to eat with friends, all of whom were sumo wrestlers. One, in particular, was a huge fan (literally) of the combat sports legend, who fought in Japan for each of his first 30 mixed martial arts bouts from 1993-1998....

Enjoy a Thanksgiving Daily Fantasy spread with all the trimmings [Updated]
It’s late on Wednesday night before Thanksgiving as I write this (but you probably won’t read this until Thursday morning, like a normal person). Maybe your turkey is brining, maybe it’s resting in your fridge, maybe it’s on the smoker, maybe you aren’t doing a turkey at all. Whatever Thanksgiving l...

Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are just two old dogs at this point
They tell me the Buccaneers have seven wins. The ESPN scorebox during Monday’s night game against the Rams said so. The standings pages say so. The NFL definitely wants you to believe it. But no, it’s a conspiracy. It’s the wool pulled over your eyes to blind you to the truth. That’s all it can be. ...

Benching Tua Sunday was just plain asinine
I’m of the firm belief that when you give a rookie quarterback the starting job, you don’t call take-backsies four weeks later. What Brian Flores did to Tua Tagovailoa in yesterday’s game was atrocious, and was a terrible display of a lack of confidence in the young signal caller....
