Kevin Durant wants Draymond Green to get 'the help he needs' while Nick Young wants Warriors to move on
Kevin Durant had some strong words for former Warriors teammate Draymond Green. ...
The Bucks-Pacers rivalry is now spectacular. Thank you, NBA's In-Season Tournament
The NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament has been worth it for all involved. For the Los Angeles Lakers, many men who could use a $500,000 direct deposit got it. Tyrese Haliburton emerged from the tourney as the newest NBA superstar. Also, a real inter-division rivalry is budding. The Indiana Pacers...
It took more than a quarter of the NBA season, but it looks like Phoenix's Big 3 will finally suit up together
There was a lot of excitement surrounding what was supposed to be the debut of the new Phoenix Suns “Big Three” of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. TNT’s Reggie Miller was so geared up for it that he had to be notified live on air that Durant had been ruled out of the Suns’ matchup again...
Pistons, Spurs serving as an impetus/impotence for another in-season tourney
If you ask Santa for anything this Christmas, ask for the Tanking Super Bowl. The Detroit Pistons, losers of 20 in a row, and the San Antonio Spurs, losers of 17 straight, play each other Jan. 10. That’s a little under a month away, and if both teams continue this dismal form, Detroit and San Antoni...
Edmonton is showing what a coaching change really means
That dull roar you hear in the distance would be the momentum of the Edmonton Oilers. They’re kind of out there, admittedly, which is why your house isn’t shaking. Only so much a team can do from the hinterlands of Alberta. ...
The USWNT was the most harassed group in sports in 2023, and this, sadly, should surprise no one
On Monday, I wrote a column about being sick of the Kansas City Chiefs. As far as the things I write go, it was fairly light-hearted. No one was accused of anything heinous, it was mostly me whining about Patrick Mahomes throwing a fit at the end of Sunday’s game and how it’s impossible to avoid Tra...
The Oklahoma City Thunder successfully extort its way to a new arena
The Oklahoma City Thunder are getting a new arena and the team’s ownership group is contributing $50 million of the $900 million tab. The reputation of owner Clay Bennett, who was responsible for killing the Seattle Supersonics, preceded him, and 71 percent of Oklahoma City voters didn’t want to cal...
Mike Vrabel wants Will Levis to not try and truck defenders
Mike Vrabel is hoping some reverse psychology will work with his rookie QB....
Florida officials aren't gonna let the FSU playoff snub go
The Florida State playoff snub saga continues. ...
The NFL’s 'Inspire Change' weeks have begun — does anybody know?
When the Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders meet on Thursday night in a game that will determine who’ll be third and fourth in the AFC West, Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit will more than certainly find time to discuss the NFL’s biggest priority for the next two weeks — “diversity.”...
Chicago Bulls distracting fans from bleak present by reliving glory days
The Chicago Bulls just can’t stop living in the past. ...
Golden State needs to let go of the past
The NBA season is now a three-part campaign. The NBA Cup is the opening sprint featuring teams working Usain Bolt hours to determine the NBA’s 100-meter champion. It’s fitting that this season the finale whittled down to the league’s fastest team and the oldest player in the league. The rest of the ...
21 PGA players have lawyered up
Twenty-one players on the PGA tour announced this week that they have hired lawyers and sent a letter to the PGA Tour Policy Board asking for full disclosure of details of proposals by potential capital partners. ...
Capitals, Wizards moving to the suburbs
Two of Washington D.C.’s teams are likely leaving the city. ...
Manchester United didn't even show up
They could have at least tried. ...
The NBA can’t do a damn thing about Draymond Green
I largely do not have a problem with Draymond Green’s antics. Sports are supposed to be entertainment. As long as he is not undercutting players driving to the basket or trying to sprain the ankles of jump shooters, I could care less if he chokes Rudy Gobert in a scrum. When he clocked Jusuf Nurkić ...
The Washington Wizards can't even tank properly
For some pro franchises, when it rains, it most certainly pours. The Washington Wizards entered the season with seemingly new life behind the acquisition of former Golden State Warrior Jordan Poole. Thus far, the tandem of Poole and Kyle Kuzma has been underwhelming, to say the least. The Wizards fe...
What the Vikings and Raiders did on Sunday was so bad, it was tremendous
The pace of NFL Sunday slows down during the late window. Usually, three or four games kick off between 4 and 4:25 p.m. EST. One of those is a featured matchup, like Kansas City Chiefs vs. Buffalo Bills, with all of the brilliant throws and yelling about a wide receiver being rightly flagged for lin...
Patrick Mahomes is entering his Donovan McNabb era
The Kansas City Chiefs can point to a myriad of issues behind their offensive struggles, including Matt Nagy’s playcalling, but their rapid disarmament over the last two years has hit them where it hurts. If you’re searching for a culprit for Kansas City’s offensive demise and fall from the top 10 i...
The Dolphins’ fatal flaw can’t be on the offensive side of the ball, can it?
The Miami Dolphins offense can cook like no other unit we’ve seen in a long time. Mike McDaniel has perfectly calibrated pre-snap motion, the running game, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Tua Tagovailoa to form the Greatest Show on Surf. It’s a diabolical mix of talent and scheme that’s borderline im...
