Bernardo Silva Does A Racism Oopsie, Pep Guardiola Makes It Worse
What do you get when you mix an obscenely racist Spanish candy, a well-meaning but ill-advised joke tweet between Premier League teammates, and a manager who clearly doesn’t know anything about the history of racist imagery?

Daniel Jones, King Of New York, Leads Giants To First Win Of Season
The Giants were not only losing 28-10 to the Buccaneers at the half on Sunday afternoon, but they were also missing their best offensive player in Saquon Barkley.

Jameis Winston Still Doesn't Quite Have This Pep-Talk Thing Nailed Down
No matter what becomes of the rest of Jameis Winston’s career, I think it is safe to say that the first thing he will be remembered for is the multiple accusations of sexual assault that have been made against him.

Should A Home Run Automatically End An Inning?
I will not keep you waiting for an answer on this one. No, absolutely not and under no circumstances would it be a good idea for a homer to automatically end an inning in a big league baseball game.

Jim Harbaugh And Luke Fickell Bicker About The James Hudson Transfer Saga
Of all the NCAA’s heavy-handed mechanisms of controlling players, the transfer portal is among the most confusing.

The NCAA Has Caved On The Rich Paul Rule

Report: Hiring A Consulting Firm Made The Melo Knicks Even More Paranoid And Dysfunctional
The Knicks were more than watchable in 2012-2013. Carmelo Anthony scored as he does; J.R. Smith shot his way to Sixth Man of the Year; Tyson Chandler held down the paint; and a couple pieces of the early-aughts Nets washed ashore. It was a charming team that over-performed in the first and last chu...
David Griffin And LeBron James Are No Longer Pals

Anyone Mad At LeBron James For Dadding Out Never Played AAU
At an AAU tournament when I was 16, just minutes before my third game of the day, I ate three slices of pizza and drank a sugar-free Red Bull. I nearly threw up twice during the game, but I got shots up and hit six threes. I think we won that game, but I don’t remember. I don’t remember anyone even ...
LeBron James Loses His Mind And His Shoe At Bronny's AAU Games
Back in the summer of 2000, a 15-year-old LeBron James, playing for an AAU team in Oakland, rolled through his pregame layup line with a double-scoop ice cream cone in hand.
