Honestly, there is zero upside for Brooklyn to bring back Ben Simmons this season. None. The guy is a total scam artist, injury-prone ans has no passion to play basketball anymore. Plus, seeing a he’s already killed two franchises, Brooklyn and Philadelphia, you would think that no franchise would be dumb enough to take on…

Unbridled Nepotism Allows Bronny James to Join LeBron on Lakers as Father-Son Duo Makes NBA History
No shame in their game at all. Because if Bronny James really wanted to get from under his dad’s shadow, he would’ve stayed in college for at least another year, established himself as a star player and then once he was ready, make his way to the NBA draft. But why do all of that…
After Sweeping Yankees in Subway Series Mets Are Back at .500
Now a wild-card spot is within the realm of reality. With the sweep of the Yankees, the Mets (39-39) have now won 15 of their last 19 games dating to June 3, the day they began a five-game, transatlantic road trip through Washington and London. They are back at a .500 record for the first…
OG Anunoby to Sign 5-Year/$212.5M Deal with Knicks
OG Anunoby’s five-year, $212.5 million deal with the Knicks is a fantastic move for him. Securing such a lucrative contract affirms his value as a top-tier defender and floor spacer, solidifying his future while positioning the Knicks as serious contenders in the Eastern Conference. Great deal for the Knicks and a fantastic move for Anunoby….
Here’s Reggie Jackson’s Much-Needed Conversation on the Racism He Experienced in the Minor Leagues
Jackson also spoke about the racism that he experienced in his minor leagues in his wonderful 2023 Netflix doc, but damn if we don’t need to be reminded every now and again that Jackie Robinson becoming the first African American to play in MLB in 1947 didn’t suddenly make things sweet for the Black baseball…
JJ Redick Agrees To 4-Year Deal To Coach The Lakers
Of course, once Redick started co-hosting a podcast with LeBron James a lot of people saw this coming a mile away. And while Redick may be a ‘great basketball mind’ who’s had previous offers to be an assistant coach in the NBA, there’s a few issues, I feel, will make a difference on whether or…
NBA Finals Hit Lowest Viewership In 3 Years
To me, the low ratings start with no Steph or Lebron in the Finals. Regardless of each one’s age they’re still both in the top 5 when it comes to player popularity. Next up, the huge contracts for even non-superstars and constant player injuries have turned people off the NBA. I mean, if you’re going…
Willie Mays R.I.P.
Willie Mays was arguably the greatest baseball player ever. Definitely the greatest 5-tool player ever imo. The oldest living Hall of Famer, a longtime and legendary Giant and an obviously ex-Met and member of the 1973 NL Champs. A 24-time All-Star and two-time MVP, Mays will be most remembered for his nickname, the ‘Say Hey…
Mets Sweep Padres, Now Two Games in Back of Wild Card Spot
Hey, it’s still only June. And with a 101 wild card spots out there, anything could still happen with this team. The Mets are showing resilience, and as the season/summer heats up, so could their chances at making the playoffs if some other players get hot and Senga gets back soon. RELATED: The four Mets…
Aaron Rodgers Skips Jets Mandatory Minicamp
Apparently, Rodgers used to pull this BS in Green Bay too and the Jets are fining him for the ‘unexcused’ absence. Either way, it’s only June so barring a major injury, I can’t get too wrapped up in the Jets right now.
Dan Hurley Spurns Lakers’ Offer, to Stay with UConn
Right move by Hurely in my opinion. And I’m no UConn fan (St. John’s is my team), But I don’t care how much money the Lakers were offering, if you’re a lifetime college basketball coach coming off of back-to-back NCAA championships and you got a great recruiting class coming in with a chance for a…
Mets Owner Steve Cohen Addresses the Media in London
Steve Cohen talks with the media to discuss the current state of the team, the London Series experience and more.
The Mets Are Playing The Phillies For Two Games In London For Some Reason
What a complete waste of time this is. And in an era that sees us playing more interleague games for some ass-backwards reason, why not pull this nonsensical stunt against the White Sox (or some other AL team that no Mets fan cares about) instead of a division rival like the Phillies? Of course, MLB…
Carlos Mendoza Says That Jeff McNeil Is Still The Mets 2nd Baseman
Yes, Jeff McNeil is under producing this year. And yes, so far he hasn’t lived up to that $50M contract extension that he signed last year. But Jeff McNeil isn’t the only reason the Mets currently sit at 27-35, tied for 3rd place in the NL East 16.5 games behind the Phillies. So sure, sit…
David Justice Speaks on the Decline of Black Players in MLB
An important discussion that doesn’t get talked about near enough on ESPN or in the sports world altogether. And Rob Manfred and co. don’t seem to give a damn about it, especially with the Latin player market still thriving and the Asian player market continuing to grow. Add the fact that football and basketball are…
