These are the current and former NBA players who need their own podcast
A decade ago, who would have thought that current and former players would be the best analysts and commentators in the NBA? A novel idea, eh? Former players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson’s “All The Smoke” and Gilbert Arenas were early purveyors of player-run podcasts. It’s since evolved to includ...

Are NFL teams starting to clamp down on offense?
The apex of the NFL offensive revolution was the evening of Nov. 29, 2018. That night, the Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Rams turned Monday Night Football into a game of pop-a-shot.

Maybe we have to take the Vancouver Canucks seriously
I know, the words “take seriously” and “Vancouver Canucks” having a get together in the same sentence is awkward for everyone.

Tyrese Haliburton played 22 minutes and change on Tuesday night. A hamstring injury has been nagging him for most of January. Haliburton has missed 10 of the Indiana Pacers’ last 11 games.
