From ESPN’s Dianna Russini: I am going to go ahead and assume that during their sit down, Rodgers promised them that he would be willing to play for at least two more seasons. I know the Jets are desperate but I doubt they’re dumb enough to trade for just one season of Aaron Rodgers. I… Read More Report: Jets Optimistic they are “on the brink” of Acquiring Aaron Rodgers Via Trade
In a recent post, I offered a defense for Nikola Jokic’s case for earning his third straight MVP. I argued that he’s having a better season than Joel Embiid, his team is in first place in the West, his team’s lack of playoff success the past two years isn’t his fault, and that we shouldn’t… Read More The Real Reason Nikola Jokic is About to Win His Third Straight MVP (It’s Not Racial Bias)
So the deadline has arrived today, March 7. The Ravens and Lamar Jackson were unable to reach an agreement on a long term contract, and so the Ravens have placed the “nonexclusive” franchise tag on him, which is valued at $32 million a year. Of course, nobody really believes Lamar is going to play on… Read More I Wouldn’t Give Lamar Jackson the Contract He’s Asking For
I am not a fan of Ja Morant. After a couple of years in the NBA, it became clear that, while very talented, he was an immature showboat who talked a big game despite not really accomplishing much. The Grizzlies, largely due to Ja and Dillon Brooks, have become the most hateable team in the… Read More Ja Morant is Ruining His Career
Now that we are in combine/draft season, I have started thinking about the whole process and how difficult it is to draft quality players consistently. No position is more important than quarterback, and yet no position is more difficult to get right. There are teams like the Browns, Bears and Jets who have been searching… Read More If you want a franchise QB, you had better have a very high draft pick
The new-look Los Angeles Lakers are now 5-2 since the Westbrook trade. On Sunday, they completed the largest comeback the NBA has seen this season, erasing a 27-point second quarter deficit and beating the Dallas Mavericks 111-108. There were good things to say about just about everyone on the Lakers squad in that game, including… Read More Health is the Only Thing Standing in the Way of the Lakers and a Championship
Jokic is a clear favorite to win his third consecutive NBA MVP award, and people are pissed about it. They point to things like him being drafted second-to-last in the All Star Game (thus showing that he’s not truly the best player in the league or perhaps even top-5), and the lack of postseason success… Read More Nikola Jokic Haters Don’t Have a Leg to Stand On
In 15 years, people won’t talk about this call when they bring up this Super Bowl. But they should. It just feels like the Chiefs always get the calls in those “you just can’t throw a flag there, in that moment” moments. It was ticky-tack, weak, soft, bullshit, rigged–whatever you want to call it. It… Read More Worst Flag in Super Bowl History Ruins Otherwise Classic Showdown
I want to pick the Eagles. They have a stupidly great roster and have the ability to absolutely smash the Chiefs. But we all know how this game is going to go: Fox is going to debut some terrible new TV scoreboard format that everyone on social media will complain about. Probably -250 odds on… Read More Super Bowl LVII Prediction
Last night, I was up late watching some analysis of the Russell Westbrook trade and listening in on some Lakers Twitter spaces (which are the an absolute riot, by the way). I was just about to fall asleep when someone in the Twitter space said the Nets and Suns were nearing a deal for Kevin… Read More 🚨 Kevin Durant Has Been Traded to the Nets | Thoughts on the New and Improved LA Lakers
