Prior to the Los Angeles Rams’ Week 16 game against the Seattle Seahawks, wide receiver Puka Nacua went on a controversial podcast. While the timing wasn’t great, what Nacua said was even worse. The Rams wide receiver implied that NFL referees make calls just to get shown on TV during games. On a livestream with […]
Last night’s Toronto Raptors game was so bad that it doesn’t warrant a recap. If you saw it, you know. If you didn’t, the Raptors got blown out by the Sixers, who welcomed back both Joel Embiid and Paul George into the lineup. It sucked. What didn’t suck, though, was Kyle Lowry entering the game […]
Tonight’s Spurs vs Thunder showdown at Paycom Center is shaping up to be one of the most intriguing matchups of the week.

I once knew a couple who visited Hawaii several times a year. They kept going back and going back until finally they decided to purchase property there. Might as well, right?

The last two games for the Philadelphia 76ers have summed up their season in some ways. Both were against the Toronto Raptors. On Sunday, Philadelphia lost a tight game in overtime without Joel Embiid. There was enough good in the loss on Sunday for someone to be intrigued enough to watch the next game. Then […]
Not a good game from the Celtics. It's always puzzling to me how one game they can't miss and the next they can't throw it in the ocean. Pacers fans can't agree on whether to continue to tank or try to win. It's funny how they trash Jarace Walker but he actually played pretty well. I cracked up on the comment about Jaylen counting out the 3.5 million pennies. I really wouldn't put it past him. On to the next one and hopefully they can snap out of whatever th...

They impact the game without always impacting the box score. Fans tend to overlook them at times. And front offices underestimate their value. This sums up Eason’s […]
