The Warriors would’ve won by 30 if Klay were healthy
Last night’s Memphis-Golden State Play-In game was epic. Not quite as epic as the Warriors-Lakers game that happened two days earlier, but still really fun. While it was winding down, I noticed a few things:...

Chase Claypool in bar brawl as sideshow antics of Steelers’ wide receivers rolls on
I bet the Pittsburgh Steelers would really enjoy a boring, uneventful offseason from their wide receiver room. Unfortunately, that’s not quite in the cards. TMZ released a video of soon-to-be second-year receiver Chase Claypool involved in a fight outside a bar in Costa Mesa, Calif. on March 13....
Damian Lillard was back on his… whatever voodoo that was… last night
If there’s one thing Twitter is good for, and it might not be, it’s alerting you when you might miss something. The Blazers were down 17 last night to the Pelicans with just six minutes to go. They won by one, thanks to a 25-7 run, in which Damian Lillard was involved in 18 of those points. He finis...
Alisson kicks Premier League to Manchester City
Two and a half months ago or so, I wrote this. I certainly wasn’t the only one, and perhaps I let my red-colored view of the world get the better of me just a touch as well. While Pep Guardiola was coming under more fire than he ever had while in charge of Manchester City, possibly at any of his sto...
Market correction has come for Liverpool … violently
There’s a lot to pick through in the rubble of Liverpool’s season at the moment. It’s a good thing they’ve left so much rubble to house all of it. A team that was top of the Premier League on New Year’s Day has landed back to Earth with such a thud over the past month that even Wile E. Coyote is tug...
Liverpool, Manchester United draw to leave door open for Manchester City
Perhaps no match felt weirder without fans than the biggest rivalry in English football. Usually the atmosphere for a Liverpool-Man United match can be described as overly passionate, vitriolic, psychotic, poisonous, and/or blood-thirsty. Without the 55,000 baying until their lungs shriveled and fil...
This week shows exactly why Tottenham can and can’t win the title
By definition, Jose Mourinho is art, because you can see whatever you want in him. He can be a tactical genius; a stubborn ox afraid of the light; a master motivator; a petulant, selfish irritant; an expert at creating unity within his team while also an expert at blowing it up from within. And all ...
Liverpool and Manchester City play the best game of the year… for 60 minutes
There’s still a perception of Jurgen Klopp that he employs “heavy metal” football, and that before and after the game and during halftime he retreats to his office to blast “Killed By Death” for inspiration. Add in the destruction that Liverpool’s frontline of Mo Salah, Sadio Mane, and Roberto Firmi...
Virgil van Dijk’s injury blows Premier League title race wide open
In what has already been a bonkers EPL season full of goals, blown leads, and surprise teams at the top of the table, perhaps the biggest moment of the season so far occurred in the fifth minute of yesterday’s rubber-room of a Merseyside Derby between Liverpool and Everton. ...

Liverpool’s Dominant Title Win Driven By Efficiency
Over the week leading up to Liverpool clinching the Premier League title on Thursday with Manchester City’s loss to Chelsea, NBC wanted you to believe that their 30-year wait was on par with some of the more storied championship droughts in North America. Hell, a great number of Liverpool supporters...
John Henry Wants Liverpool Fans To Know That Sometimes Even Billionaires Can Be Shamed Into Doing The Right Thing
It’s hard to tell your supporters, “This Means More,” when you’re punting all your non-playing staff. It only took a day or two of public shaming for the owners of Liverpool FC, Fenway Sports Group, to figure that one out. I suppose billionaires who are even capable of feeling shame or embarrassment...
It Would Suck If Liverpool Couldn't Finish Their Magical Run, But Leicester City Would Be The True Victims Of A Canceled Season
When discussing the bonkers plans the Premier League has floated for finishing its season—call it The Bio-Dome solution—the undercurrent to it all is that there’s a decent chance it won’t be finished at all. The idea of tacking it on to the beginning of next season almost seems a non-starter, with E...
The Premier League Title Race Is Just Getting Started
