Stephen F. Austin bowling coach’s gutterball affair led to a 7-10 split from his wife and job
Former Stephen F. Austin’s assistant bowling coach Steve Lemke’s life is falling apart quicker than 10 pins at The Dude’s bowling alley. Stephen F. Austin is apparently renowned for its bowling program. The Ladyjacks won national titles in 2016 and 2021 under the administration of head coach Amber L...
Not sure the UK will find MLB any more entertaining than the US
Serious question: If you underwent a bunch of plastic surgery, how eager would you be to show off the new goods? Even though the boob job is lopsided, the calf implants didn’t take, and your face literally can’t smile through the botox, you’d be on the first plane to Europe, too. Well, that’s MLB ri...
The Kawhi-PG era could soon come to an end in LA, and still no banners
As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. Apparently, that also applies to things that were so-so at times and, overall, a disappointing display of futility. That might be a bit harsh, but that’s how some would describe the four-year experiment of Kawhi Leonard and Paul George in Los ...
The Olympic Scandal we should be talking about
Yesterday morning, news outlets around the world breathlessly reported that French police had raided the 2024 Olympics headquarters in suburban Paris, as part of an investigation into corruption and favoritism in handing out contracts to build the upcoming Summer Games. News of the investigation mad...
NBA Draft: From No.1 pick to the Hall of Fame
Tonight is the 2023 NBA Draft, which is taking place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn. Some years the No. 1 pick is up for debate. This year, it’s almost certain that the San Antonio Spurs, winners of the Draft Lottery, will take French prospect Victor Wembanyama first....
Patriots CB Jack Jones’ attorney was a broken record on Tuesday
Jack Jones’ attorney has had enough of the several non-influential social media accounts bashing her client. On the steps of the East Boston District Court House, Rosemary Scapicchio tore into those who disparaged her client by calling him a thug, following the news that Jones had been arrested at L...
Tyreek Hill also is a bad samaritan
The internet wins again. In this round of “Things you never knew you needed,” we have a notable sports agent, a snorkel, an NFL star, a boat, the Atlantic Ocean, and a half-dead Dusky shark. If you can get past the animal cruelty — and Drew Rosenhaus tweeted the clip hoping you would — it’s kind of ...
Aaron Rodgers wants money for website that stole our stories
I won’t profess to understand Aaron Rodgers’ business acumen. I imagine he probably sits back, goes on an Ayahuasca-fueled spiritual journey, and burps out a game-changing idea every few months. Inevitably, he gets taken seriously due to his money and connections. One of those ideas is the extremely...

Mike McCarthy is exactly who we’ve always known he was
When it comes to athletic competition, we all love a good ranking. It doesn’t matter what it is, whom we’re comparing, or what’s at stake. It always catches our attention whenever a list is released, ranking players, or teams 1 through whatever. You can triple the attention any ranking list will rec...
The Charlotte Hornets are where the 2023 NBA Draft begins
Many of the franchise-altering garden of forking path moments in NBA history began with contentious debates over the No.1 pick. In the rare situation where a phenom takes the reins, the second pick becomes the 2023 NBA Draft’s initial pivot point. A month ago, the Charlotte Hornets were left crestfa...
The Cincinnati Reds are in first place, but they’re not there yet, and their owner still sucks
Given where the NL Central is, and where their various teams are in their “processes,” it’s not really a huge shock that the first part of the season was the Pittsburgh Pirates burning hot for a bit, fizzling out, and now a new, young, rebuilding team can rise to the top for a while and see what lif...
Major League Baseball needs more African-American players, less Juneteenth grandstanding
Corporate America is trying to ruin Juneteenth — like the “Swag Surf” and countless things before it. It’s the reason why Gayle King had to joke about how “the only white guy at the table is off today,” on Monday’s episode of CBS Mornings. And why Major League Baseball — a sport that consistently er...
It was hard not to get a little giddy about the USMNT
Being a USMNT fan usually involves seeing things that aren’t there, or at least things that could be there but aren’t yet. It’s usually what the team could develop into, or dreaming about flashes being carried over into a full 90 minutes one day, or when an injured player or two returns or makes his...
Zion Williamson trade rumors are the NBA’s offseason red herring
Zion Williamson undoubtedly had a rough Father’s Day. For the past week his name has been dragged through as many trade rumors as Moriah Mills’ direct message screenshot reservoir. The Portland Trail Blazers are genuinely interested in tempting the Bill Walton Curse by shoveling away their third ove...
Becky Sauerbrunn’s absence at the World Cup hurts more in the heart than on the field
The women’s World Cup continues to be a battle of attrition, even if it doesn’t start for another month. All the major powers are heading to Australia and New Zealand next month, seemingly with one hand tied behind their back, either through injury or strife within their programs (Canada and Spain)....
Lou Williams announces his retirement from the NBA while leaving behind an interesting legacy
Former three-time Sixth Man of the Year award winner Lou Williams has officially announced his retirement from the NBA. Williams will go down as one of the best role players in NBA history and possibly the greatest sixth man of all time. Along with his accolades, Williams also made it cool, and acce...
Will a Championship trip to Vegas convince Nikola Jokić the NBA lifestyle is actually pretty cool?
I never mind professional athletes who don’t get wrapped up in the celebrity lifestyle. It isn’t for everybody, and it’s also a second job. Nikola Jokić wanting to hightail it back to Serbia after winning an NBA Championship is perfectly reasonable, but I do think he enjoyed Las Vegas....

Michael Malone is living your best life
Denver Nuggets coach Michael Malone was obsessively on topic throughout the entire postseason. No win was too big, and none of their four losses set off panic meters. Even with a 3-1 lead in the Finals, the coach preached urgency and wanted his team to play like they were the ones facing elimination...
