NBA Christmas Schedule Takeaways: League Believes In Trae Young
Christmas Day calls for presents, eggnog, and basketball. As much as the NFL has tried to hijack Christmas Day in recent years, Santa Claus belongs to the NBA. December 25 is the most important day of the regular season. Yesterday, the NBA revealed its Christmas Day slate. It will feature 5 games that include the […]
Field Of Dreams Game: Determining Other Fantasy Locations
If you build it, Kevin Costner will come to the Field of Dreams game. I’m covered in goosebumps watching right now. The Field of Dreams game between the Yankees and White Sox was tremendous. Between the entrance, the old uniforms, and the atmosphere, the game blew my expectations out of the water. Walking to the […]
MTV’s The Challenge: Spies, Lies and Allies Preview
The best athletes in the world typically compete at the Olympics. However, you could make the argument that the top global athletes actually compete on MTV’s The Challenge, which returns tonight for its 37th season, Spies, Lies & Allies. All kidding aside, I’m so glad to have The Challenge back in my life. After years […]
NBA Free Agency: Lakers And Nets Improve While Pelicans Take Step Back
The NBA has the best offseason out of all the major sports. The draft and free agency are full of trades, surprises, and WTF moments. It’s the only sport where a simple emoji could spark free agency and trade rumors. The offseason is a reality show that belongs on Bravo. We’re a few days into […]
NBA Draft: League Needs To Stop Reporters From Tipping Picks
There are two instances in the NBA where I become irrationally angry and channel my inner “old man yells at cloud.” The first occurs when the home team doesn’t wear white uniforms. The second occurs on draft night when reporters tip picks before they’re announced on stage. I love the NBA Draft. Seeing teams potentially […]

Ted tearfully tells Michelle that she doesn’t have to try anymore even though he promised to never quit anything in his life. Moved by Ted’s words, Michelle says, […]
Giannis Antetokounmpo: It’s Your League Now
Behind a legendary performance from Giannis Antetokounmpo, the Milwaukee Bucks overcame a 2-0 series deficit to defeat the Phoenix Suns and win the NBA Championship. After scoring 50 points in the series-clinching game, Giannis could not hold back tears when describing his journey to the top of the NBA. We’re running out of adjectives to […]
Loki: Give Michael Waldron The Keys To The MCU
After the exciting finale to a superb season of Loki, the first thought in my head did not revolve around Season 2, which was confirmed in a post-credits scene. (Light spoilers from here on out.) All I could think about was Michael Waldron and how he needs to be the driving force behind the MCU […]
Team USA: Second Straight Loss Highlights Poor Roster Construction
On paper, Team USA is the most talented basketball team in the world. After two exhibition games, their superior talent hasn’t translated to victories. Team USA lost their second exhibition game on Monday night, falling to Australia, 92-83, in Las Vegas, NV. This comes off the heels of their historic 90-87 loss to Nigeria this […]
Khris Middleton Is An Enigma
Khris Middleton reminds me of M. Night Shyamalan’s filmography. It’s a neverending circle of confusion that starts as good, turns to bad at the halfway mark, and circles back up to good. There are times where Shymalan looks like one of the most important directors of the last 30 years with films such as The […]
