The New York Knicks season has come to an end on Sunday at Madison Square Garden despite the best efforts of former Golden State Warriors' guards Donte DiVincenzo and Alec Burks. With neither team having won on the road heading into Game 7, the Indiana Pacers defied that fact with...

It's been a rough couple of years in the playoffs after the Lakers won the NBA Championship during the 2019-2020 season. Since then they haven't made it back to the NBA Finals, and have now changed head coaches twice. The Lakers fired Darvin Ham on May 3 and are now...

New York City, NY

Just four days ago, ESPN's Stephen A Smith went wild on First Take after the New York Knicks took a 3-2 series lead over the Indiana Pacers in the NBA Playoffs. One more win, and it was on to the Eastern Conference Finals. Smith was going crazy, until co-host Chris Russo warned him not to get too excited. Smith didn't care. Knicks lose Game 6, he got nervous, and then dared to show up to Game 7 like he was playing the game and has ESPN showcasing him as if he would drop 50.

From now on, change ESPN to the New York Knicks Sympathy Channel and the Biased Against Small Markets Network. The Indiana Pacers made sure of it. Prior to the series against the Knicks, the Pacers were given ZERO, yes ZERO, chance by the analysts at the network to beat New York even with the Knicks injuries.

For the first time since 2004, the Minnesota Timberwolves are heading to the Western Conference Finals. On Sunday, the Timberwolves faced the defending NBA champions, the Denver Nuggets, in a win-or-go-home Game 7. Things looked hopeless for the Timberwolves, as they trailed 58-38 in the third quarter, looking like a team destined to return home and miss out on competing for the Western Conference Championship.

I don't even know what to say anymore. Dumb people gotta work somewhere, and apparently, the dumbest human beings alive work in the security detail department of Valhalla Golf Club in Louisville. Yes, that one in Kentucky where the PGA Championship is being played this weekend. Somehow, someway, these bumbling idiots arrested and detained the No. 1 golfer in the world, Scottie Scheffler.

The New York Mets are back. Back to floundering at the bottom of the standings, that is. David Stearns took over the front office at the end of last season as consternation infected the fanbase. Rather than funneling Steve Cohen's unmatched financial reserve into major upgrades, the Mets mostly stood pat. The underlying reason was simple enough to understand. New York is focused on the future, not the present.

The St. Louis Cardinals have not gotten off to the start that they expected in 2024. Despite spending money in free agency to fortify their rotation, their bats have gone cold, notably of Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado. But there has been a trend in the right direction as of late, as they won four of their last five games entering Saturday. With that, they have a half-game lead over the Cincinnati Reds for fourth place in the NL Central. That's a positive, considering they were sitting in last place by themselves recently.

It’ll be June 1 before we know it. A date best remembered for Johan Santana throwing the first no-hitter in New York Mets history, it has also become the traditional start of a decline for the ball club. The Mets seem to have gotten their “swoon” out of the way early. This June, if they’re not competing, it’s less of a streak of losses and more of a reality of who they are.

Atlanta, GA

Atlanta Braves superstar Ronald Acuña Jr. is undoubtedly a highly sought-after talent. There aren't many players with as many tools as the Atlanta outfielder. The opportunity to represent a generational talent doesn't come around often and any agency would be lucky to have Acuña on their roster. It turns out that the agency started by artist Bad Bunny has taken on the Venezuelan star as a client.

Do you wonder what that nasty smell that has been cropping up all over Denver is?. I know. Denver has lots of nasty smells, including urine and feces in the alleys. There also is the unmistakable chemical smell of meth that turns some people’s stomachs. And of course, marijuana lingers in the air Denver-wide.

It didn't take long for Cole Holcomb to ingratiate himself to the Pittsburgh Steelers after signing a three-year deal in 2023. Unfortunately, it also didn't take long for the linebacker's debut season to end, potentially putting the rest of his Steelers career in jeopardy. Holcomb suffered a devastating knee injury...
