NBA Daily Fantasy: Steph Curry will save you on this limited game-night

NBA Daily Fantasy: With tiny two-game slate, now is not the night to avoid Nikola Jokic
The amount of fingers Kendrick Lamar tells you to put in the air during HiiiPower is higher than the amount of NBA games scheduled for tonight. Fret not, misled degenerate, that makes the evening more enticing, not less. If you subscribe to the preference of being a big fish in a small pond, these t...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Who to watch for on a loaded MLK Day slate
Nine games scheduled; we’ll see if that stands. Hopefully you’re reading this before noon, otherwise, you’ll have missed the Knicks vs. the Magic. If you did that on purpose, I’d understand. (The Knicks are pretty fun so far, though!) Anyway, we’ll begin tonight across the bridge from them in Brookl...

Thank you, Dan Le Batard: A symbol for the good of sports media, and a torchbearer for the Latin-American community
With the name Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk written across his right palm, Jon “Stugotz” Weiner marched up and down the line wrapped around the corner of Gramercy Theatre. He offered exorbitant amounts of money for tickets and hugs, ranging anywhere from $200-$10,000 to see a show. Stugotz — master bullshit...
