So, Trae Young is the newest member of the Washington Wizards. This piece started life as a column called “To Trae Trade, Or Not To Trae Trade” debating the pros and cons of going through with the trade, and then about 45 minutes after I finished writing it he was traded. Young was a distressed […]

On Tuesday night, the Boston Celtics faced off against the Denver Nuggets, a cross-conference battle between top teams. Despite the absence of Nikola Jokic, Denver was able to take home the win thanks to some hot shooting and a timely fourth quarter surge. It was an extremely physical game. It felt as though the refs […]
The NFL’s coaching carousel is officially spinning at full speed, and the news that all Minnesota Vikings fans were expecting to hear is now upon us.

The Wizards lost to the Philadelphia 76ers last night, which was immediately superseded in impact by news of the trade sending CJ McCollum and Corey Kispert to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for Trae Young.

The Seattle Seahawks managed to win the NFC West and also earned a bye in the first week of the playoffs, becoming the number one seed for the first time since 2014. The defense’s performance was near perfect. I confess I don’t remember a game so well planned and executed from beginning to end. Jason […]

Not sure why the Celtics can play so good one night and then play so bad the next. Is it focus or effort or what? Nuggets fans were trashing their coach and Nnaji to start and then at the end both were the best. I'm sure some of the trade Jokic comments were joking but I have to think some were really thinking it. they were talking about how they hate the way the Celtics play because they shoot so many 3's. The Nuggets shot 6 more 3's than the Celtics. Well,...
Yes, you read the headline correctly. The much-maligned 49ers defense, which was gashed on the ground over and over by the Seattle Seahawks and gave up back-breaking third-down conversions, has a better chance on Sunday against the defending Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles. I understand. The Eagles have one of the best running backs in […]

Something is shifting for the Portland Trail Blazers. The group’s latest feat, an inspiring 103-102 win over the Houston Rockets Wednesday night at the Moda Center, made it clear. You could hear it in the M-V-P chants in the fourth quarter that serenaded Portland forward Deni Avdija, prompted by a season-high 41 points. You could […]

It’s natural for people to want to outdo themselves when they’ve disappointed observers and evaluators at work. NBA teams are the same and usually come out guns blazing when they have been humbled. The San Antonio Spurs got their turn to right that wrong on Wednesday. Similar records don’t always mean rivals are in the […]
How about a little caffeinated applause for the boys last night, eh? The Blackhawks put boot to [donkey] on the St. Louis Blues last night, putting a touchdown on the board and kicking the extra point for good measure. Most impressively, the Hawks had seven goals from seven different skaters last night — and one of them was not the team’s leader, Tyler Bertuzzi . The depth scoring we’ve been longing for is starting to really show out. Whenever you have a handful of guys with multi-point e...

There was an end of an era (error?) in Atlanta on Wednesday, as the Hawks pulled the trigger on a long-rumored trade, ending the Trae Young era by sending him to… [checks notes] …the Washington Wizards in exchange for Corey Kispert and CJ McCollum. No picks going either way. It’s a surreal ending to a […]

Wali Jones, 83 years old but forever young, is not one of those back-in-my-day guys. Yes, he’s justifiably proud of an 11-year pro career that saw him quarterback a Sixers championship team in 1967 and at different times serve as sidekick on teams featuring Wilt, Moses and Kareem (no last names needed). But he’s not one to give modern-day players […]
