No, Kevin Durant… you’re still short an actual apology
Y’see Kevin Durant, you don’t seem to get why you’re apologizing. In one sense, I appreciate how nakedly obtuse you are about the whole thing. It beats the PR department-fueled apologies we usually get from someone like you that are treated as the real thing. You’re making it easy for everyone to se...

The NFL is poised to be the victory cigar
It was a triumphant day for the NFL, at least the business of the NFL and for its owners. Somehow it always is, even when they’re not playing games. The league announced adding a 17th game officially, even though it doesn’t make sense on any logical level other than owners looking at a pile of money...

LeBron fans need to stop crying about the stacked Nets! He started all this!
It’s a Trash Talking Tuesday, and today I’m trashing all the LeBron James minions complaining that the Brooklyn Nets are too stacked and it’s not fair.Stop it!...

Sorry, but March Madness just isn’t the same this year
There are a lot of reasons that March Madness feels off this year. The whole thing is happening in Indiana, in mostly-empty buildings. The tournament started on a Friday instead of the traditional Thursday tip. And, of course, there’s no Duke to hate on....
