It’s hard to pinpoint an original sin here. Every step that took the Clippers to this point was at least defensible in the moment. Trading Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and a mountain of draft picks for Paul George looks terrible now. It also created a championship favorite. Doubling down on James Harden was riskier, but, well, they […]

The international break has come to an end and while it was a disappointing one for the United States men’s national team, it was a good time for the USMNT to see what a Mauricio Pochettino setup requires. They spoke on the differences of the training style under him and there was a clear goal […]

In the ongoing and, seemingly, never ending battle between Dana White and the mixed martial arts media, the recent outburst from the UFC CEO has left many scratching their heads.  After weeks and months of White railing against the media-created UFC rankings — almost exclusively in the form of unironic rants about Jon Jones’ pound-for-pound […]

The Cleveland Browns are 1-5, sticking with quarterback Deshaun Watson despite hist struggles, are among the bottom in passing yards, touchdowns and points per game, and are dead last in passing yards per attempt and just traded their top receiver Amari Cooper. Things are a bit of a mess in Cleveland and in an attempt […]

Los Angeles Lakers forward Dalton Knecht, the No. 17 pick in the 2024 NBA Draft, entered Thursday’s game against the Phoenix Suns shooting 10 for 37 (27%) from 3-point range in the preseason.
