It’s now four seasons since the Utah Jazz traded Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, initiating the current team rebuild. The three seasons before this, Utah has made some interesting decisions. In the first two seasons, there was an obvious lack of a plan on how to move forward. With Lauri Markkanen having a breakout season, […]
If you spent your Thursday evening watching the Las Vegas Raiders and Denver Broncos, you should be entitled to compensation after watching such an abhorrent display of football. In another brutal night on the road for Pete Carroll and Geno Smith (who suffered a left quad contusion on a night in which he was sacked […]
Tonight begins another journey in hopes of winning the NBA Cup for the Houston Rockets. There were obviously several moments last year where Houston announced to the league that they were done being bad. The first of those was winning their NBA Cup group. With their win on the neon green court in Minnesota, Houston […]

Marcus Smart giveth and Marcus Smart taketh away. After being a positive on both ends of the court through the first 47:58.8 seconds of the game on Wednesday against the Spurs, Smart had one heck of a faux pas. During his attempt to end the game with a downcourt pass to Hachimura with 1.2 seconds […]
Should be fun!
The Seattle Seahawks are certainly doing better with their injury report this time around. After somehow manifesting a slew of injuries during the bye week, this week has not proved so dire. The same 10 players are on the list as were Wednesday, with only two changes. Cooper Kupp finally practices in limited fashion- great […]
The Utah Jazz remind me of myself in this one way: we both get caught shuffling, stumbling, and meandering through Target on Friday night. We differ in these two specific ways: I rarely appear at the sliding glass doors with my socks on, and I usually come away with something that I actually wanted before […]
The Spurs put the Lakers to the test on Wednesday night. San Antonio was leading for most of the game and Los Angeles was rallying late in the fourth quarter. However, it wasn’t Luka Dončić highlight play, a Marcus Smart defensive stop or a Deandre Ayton battle underneath, but a pair of Rui Hachimura plays […]

As a Spurs fan living in Los Angeles, and a Dodger fan too, the last few weeks have been great. The Spurs have had an historically great start, even better than expected or predicted. During the same time, the Dodgers won the World Series — capped by the best Game Seven in the history of […]

With the Flatbush 5 — Egor Demin, Nolan Traore, Drake Powell, Ben Saraf, and Danny Wolf — expected to play major roles on Long Island, fans could […]
When NBA games come down to the wire, you want the play and the skill of the competitors on the court to determine the outcome of the game. The last thing you want is some dork in a gray shirt to blow a shrill whistle, stop play, and completely change the outcome of a close […]
The Dallas Mavericks (2-6) head to Memphis Friday night for their first NBA Cup game against the Grizzlies (3-6). It is a tale of two dysfunctional teams: the Grizzlies, who attempt to make peace with star Ja Morant, and the Mavericks, who attempt to make, well, a shot. One losing streak will have to end […]
It’s not very often that we get an opportunity to interview a member of our favorite football team, but it did happen earlier this week, and we’re happy to bring that interview to you here now. Our own Sam Buegler got a chance to sit down with Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones and talk […]

Following their nail-biter win against the Oklahoma City Thunder, CBS Sports has ranked the Blazers fifth (!) in their most recent power poll. CBS Sports’ Brad Botkin writes: Amazing start for the Blazers at 5-3 with wins […]
Fresh off a World Series victory, a number of Dodgers were back in LA and in attendance for Wednesday’s Lakers-Spurs showdown. And boy did the players know it.

After dropping two consecutive matches to Lille and Viktoria Plzen (at home, no less!), Roma’s status as a Europa League favorite took a significant hit. Sure, Gian Piero Gasperini’s group was doing well in Serie A, supported by the league’s stingiest defense, but that success hadn’t carried over to European play. While Roma doesn’t necessarily […]

Teams are calling on Brandt Clarke. League sources say the Los Angeles Kings are listening only long enough to say no. Clarke is tracking as a long-term piece on Jim Hiller’s blue line and the organization’s immediate priority is re-signing Adrian Kempe before shifting focus to Clarke’s next deal. Why the phones keep ringing Right-shot defense with offense is a scarce resource, and Clarke checks every box. He was drafted eighth overall, has already produced in limited minutes, and is...
