Under-the-radar sports you should check out during the Tokyo Games
There are certain sports that are staples of the Olympics, the ones that get on in prime time and take hold of the sports world when they’re going for the gold. It used to be that those sports, like gymnastics, swimming, and track, would only really show up on your TV every so often. Maybe you’d cat...
Introducing the new Olympic sports that will totally bring in a new audience, dude

Olympic athletes who could protest in Tokyo
Protest is such a necessary form of progress in society. There is rarely any improvement in a culture without people making their voices heard. And, usually, the bigger the stage for these protests, the stronger the influence. ...
The Bucks bench is in a tough spot
Because the Milwaukee Bucks aren’t getting the necessary consistency from Giannis Antetokoumnpo’s co-stars, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday, their bench has been unfairly forced to overcompensate, and they haven’t....

They certainly create cool looking shots at opportune moments when you’re trying to focus on one guy and make i...
We've got some midseason baseball awards

If the Bucks want to win these Finals, this is the change they need to make
In the days leading up to the NBA Finals, I thought the Ayton-Lopez matchup was going to be the most pivotal matchup of the series. NBA All-Defense First-Teamer Jrue Holiday could put the clamps on Chris Paul. Khris Middleton and P.J. Tucker could rotate to help on Devin Booker. Giannis could muscle...

So what are the Red Sox doing here?
It used to be that when the Yankees were good (which definitely isn’t the case now), not only did it piss everyone off, because YANKEES, but it was an indictment of the whole league.
