Coast to coast, which NBA contenders could DeMarcus Cousins help the most?
It’s been over three years since DeMarcus Cousins ruptured his Achilles amid what will likely go down as his final All-Star season.

Dubois-Laine trade is full of sound and fury, but signifies... not much
There is something truly hockey about two players wanting to get away from cities and situations they find lacking, and coaches they find dinosaur-like, only to be swapped into the other country’s version of the situations they were trying to escape.

Fernando Tatis is Defecating on Baseball’s ‘Unwritten Rules’ and it’s Spectacular

1998 As Baseball’s Salvation Is B.S.
What last night’s underwhelming (and that’s being kind) and uninspired 30 for 30 on the 1998 Home Run race tried to capture was that baseball would have been in the toilet without it. It’s a narrative that Bud Selig tried to push to do himself credit, then shit all over to also do himself credit, an...
