JJ Redick says officials admitted they ‘got off to a bad start’ in Lakers-Blazers game
A nice overall game flow is not what fans saw when the Lakers played the Blazers on Saturday night. The whistle was active and erratic during the opening quarter.

NFL Divisional Sunday Discussion: Hate-watching the Bears against Rams
Green Bay Packers fans saw their team bomb out of the playoffs last Saturday, giving up 25 fourth-quarter points to the Chicago Bears in a brutal 31-27 loss. With that result, the Bears advanced to this weekend’s Divisional Playoffs, where they face a Los Angeles Rams team that is, in the eyes of many NFL […]
What must the Rams do right tonight?
When it’s very cold, weather never fails to become the featured star of a football game before kickoff. However, oftentimes the game goes as most would expect in neutral weather and if the Rams can manage an early 10 point lead then L.A. may never look back at Chicago again. Still, that could be a […]
Happy Game Day! Case Keenum’s Words of Advice, Players to Watch, Bregman, and Other Bears Bullets
My friend Adam posted this and it immediately got me hyped for today’s Bears-Rams NFC Divisional Round game: Who needs coffee when that exists? The vibes are excellent around town. I’m loving every head nod I exchange with someone wearing Bears gear. It has been fun to talk football with random people in bars, on L-train platforms, in a ride share after a late night, and here online. This city gets electric when Chicago’s football team is in the playoffs. And I hope everyo...

Which teams could the Lakers make a trade with for first round picks?
The Lakers find themselves in a precarious situation. This year’s roster needs upgrades. However, the Lakers don’t have much in the way of sweeteners to make those improvements. Misses on Jalen Hood-Schifino and Dalton Knecht mean the young prospects aren’t there to put into trade packages and undoing the Russell Westbrook trade and making the […]
Kyle Tucker, Bo Bichette, and Dodgers-induced ennui
Welp, this is attempt number three at writing this post. The first version was written on Thursday before the Dodgers had agreed to terms with Kyle Tucker. And the second version was written on Friday morning before Bo Bichette agree to terms with the Mets. Hopefully, I can get this version published before somebody signs […]

Which signing was more aggravating: Kyle Tucker or Bo Bichette?
This weekend was the weekend of the aftermath of anger. Thursday night saw the Dodgers value Kyle Tucker at $60 million per season, handing him the short term contract he desired to play baseball in a low profile. Bo Bichette decided to take a player friendly deal with the Mets over the security of a […]

Another day of NFL playoffs, and another day of exciting football games. The Buffalo Bills suffered another heartbreaking postseason loss in overtime to the Denver Broncos in a controversial finish that will likely lead to days of debating about officiating. I almost made this Question of the Day about the enforcement of pass interference, but […]
Dodgers unlikely to trade Teoscar Hernández
The Dodgers have been fairly quiet this offseason compared to the last two, but when they have struck, the bounty has been plentiful.

Sharpe Leads Blazers to Comfortable Win: ‘We Took Care of Business’
The Portland Trail Blazers’ 132-116 win over the Los Angeles Lakers was simple on Saturday night.
