'I Should Have More Than Four': LeBron James Offers His Two Cents on the MVP Debate
Sustained excellence has its perks, but it can also be a bit of a curse. Because when you routinely excel at something, the general populace tends to take it for granted. Enter LeBron James, who last I checked, is somehow averaging 25.8 points, eight dimes, and eight assists per game in his 18th season in…

Steph Curry Out Indefinitely After Suffering Gruesome Tailbone Contusion
NBA superstar Steph Curry, whose back was already sore from carrying the Golden State Warriors all season, suffered one of the worst injuries known to man Wednesday night against the Houston Rockets. At the tail end—no pun intended—of the third quarter, the two-time MVP launched an off-balance trey and as he stumbled backward into the…

After Owning the Boston Celtics for Years, LeBron James Becomes Part-Owner of Boston Red Sox
Since entering the NBA in 2003 as an 18-year-old phenom, LeBron James has completely transformed what it means to be a professional athlete. Aside from being dominant on the court, he frequently uses his platform to combat social injustice and has evolved into a savvy businessman whose interests extend to music, the restaurant industry, education,…

Must Be the Money: The New England Patriots Are Taking No Prisoners During NFL Free Agency
I don’t consider myself a religious person, but as much as I despise the New England Patriots, head coach Bill Bellicheat is really out here turning water into bottles of Luc Belaire. Back in October, when the Patriots were 2-4 and looking like dog shit for the first time in decades, Tom Brady’s step-daddy attributed…

Texas Rangers Rename Ballpark In Honor of Country Music Legend Charley Pride
During the Grammys on Sunday, the Recording Academy paid tribute to music legends we lost over the past year, such as Pop Smoke, Bill Withers, Little Richard and county legend Charley Pride. But that wasn’t the only tribute the groundbreaking country artist received, because on the same day, the Texas Rangers had something special in mind…

After Losing One Legend, Will the New Orleans Saints Unleash Another?
On Sunday, after months of speculation, Drew Brees finally called it a career after 20 years in the NFL. Per ESPN, he retires as the NFL’s all-time leader in career passing yards (80,358) and ranks second all-time in touchdown passes (571) and completion percentage (67.7%). Not bad for a dude who thinks kneeling during the…

Re-Up Gang: Cam Newton Returns to the Evil Empire With Incentive-Laden One-Year Deal
I think it’s safe to say that Cameron Jerrell Newton didn’t have a particularly great 2020. He got cut by the Panthers, was forced to sign for pennies on the dollar with the Patriots, there was a whole-ass global pandemic, Neiman Marcus filed for bankruptcy, and he played like absolute dog shit all season. Sure,…

Patrick Ewing Has 99 Problems, and Getting Harassed by Security at Madison Square Garden Shouldn't Be One of Them
Ask any hoops head who’s the greatest New York Knick of all-time and you’ll get one of three answers: Walt Frazier, Willis Reid, or Patrick Ewing. (Jerome James is also an acceptable answer.) Yet despite being the centerpiece of the franchise for 15 years—13 of which the team made the playoffs—there are apparently living, breathing…

Is Blake Griffin the Final Piece to the Brooklyn Nets' Championship Puzzle?
For hoop heads, there’s nothing more disrespectful than being dismissed as a casual fan. But if there’s a single barometer for how well you follow the NBA, it’s your take on Blake Griffin signing to the Brooklyn Nets. But first, I’ll allow the six-time All-Star to explain why he joined The Borg, since apparently “resistance…

Dallas Cowboys Finally Put a Ring On It, Reach Four-Year, $160 Million Deal With Dak Prescott
Outside of Dak Prescott, there’s probably nobody more relieved that the exhausting soap opera between Dallas Cowboys and their polarizing two-time Pro Bowler is finally over than my Black ass. For what seems like an eternity, Prescott and the Cowboys have been ensnared in a prolonged lover’s quarrel in which team president, general manager, and…
