Jim Nantz wants CBS to pay him like someone with a personality
In some ways you can’t begrudge Jim Nantz for asking for the bag. He probably looks to his right most Sundays, sees the Jerry Lewis soundboard that is Tony Romo, and figures A) Just by having to sit next to that overrated, handsome gas bag for four hours a week is worth $17 million a year. And B) If...

White Sox fill manager slot by exhuming corpse of Tony La Russa
It is impossible to accurately describe how confounding the White Sox hiring of Tony La Russa as manager is.

Tony Romo's commentary is mediocre as hell
While we already covered Dak Prescott’s grotesque injury, a word on Tony Romo. It strains his credibility when he’s telling the nation that we can only hope it’s a cramp as we’re looking at Prescott holding his ankle that only has a tangential relationship to the rest of his leg.

If you watched Game 5 of the NBA Finals on Friday night, you know that just watching it was incredible and that not a whole lot needs to be said. The Heat extended everyone’s stay in The Bubble with a 111-108 win, with Jimmy Butler getting the best of LeBron James in a back-and-forth battle for the ...

The NBA Finals begin tonight, here’s what you should know
Tonight’s matchup involves two fan bases that were bored during last year’s playoffs as the Heat and Lakers were at home, with Miami finishing with a 39-43 record while Los Angeles finished 37-45.

Report: Jim Boylen's Back And Sweatier Than Ever
When he was handed the reins in Chicago part way through last season, Jim Boylen did not try to be a coach so much as he tried to be an idea of a coach, the approach someone might take with a job if they simply workshopped some things they’d seen on television. He benched the entire Bulls starting l...
Jimmy Butler Compares Himself To A Work Of Art, Specifically A Banksy
No forecast of Jimmy Butler’s surging cheese levels, no matter how thorough, could have anticipated the day he compared himself to a Banksy artwork. It’s too on the nose, but that’s exactly what the Heat forward told Haute Living in last week’s profile. (Also revealed: Butler has taken on a bit of a...
