Monopoly Tokens, Ranked
Before we get into the Funbag, I have some quick book news. The Hike comes out August 2nd (peep the cover here) and I’m not gonna tell you much about it because I don’t wanna wear you down before we get to the TRULY insufferable book-whoring phase late this summer. All you need to know is:...

The Warriors Beat The Spurs, But More Importantly, They Beat Kawhi Leonard
Once Gregg Popovich opted to sit Tim Duncan for Monday night’s matchup, we were never going to get a complete picture of the Warriors’ and Spurs’ relative abilities.

Report: Mike McCarthy Fed Up With Packers Management Refusing To Sign Free Agents
The Packers are notoriously skittish about signing free agents.

DeMarcus Cousins Cooked And Ate The Pacers Last Night
Oh hey, look at that, the Kings have won five in a row over pretty decent competition.
