James Harden might not need cheesesteaksI don’t want to be hard on James Harden. We all ... look different after this year. Cooped up in our house, downing comfort foods more often than we have in the five years previous combined. For me, it’s peanut butter M&Ms. You have yours. Something you run to when it all gets too much, which it doe...

When did Manchester City get so boring?Every story about the Premier League, and really European soccer as a whole, has to start off with just how weird the circumstances are.
