Coworker, Athletes Give Jason Whitlock Shit For Criticizing LeBron On Racism<em></em>
Jason Whitlock, a Fox Sports 1 employee whose purpose is to make Colin Cowherd look somehow pleasant by comparison, had quite an angle on police reports that a racist slur was spray-painted on LeBron James’s Los Angeles home.

I'm Just Here For The Rihanna-Kevin Durant Feud
After waiting roughly 50 weeks for basketball that was both close and meaningful...we did not get that. We got destruction, a 113-91 Warriors win led by Kevin Durant’s 38-8-8. What we did get was the start of a pretty great athlete-celebrity beef, and neither is going to fold as easily as the Cavali...
Warriors Look Disgustingly Unstoppable In Game 1 Blowout Victory
