Baseball appears to be on the verge of making the biggest rule change since the DH. But have they thought it through? Kyler Murray might be a little bit douchey. Minority Report pre-crime is becoming real. Don’t try to steal ATMs. Mr. X discusses craps, calcuttas, and more. Read more
Who woulda thunk that one of this generations’s finest actors – Will Smith – would find backlash in playing Richard Williams – father of tennis phenoms Venus and Serena – because of…. (checks notes) SKIN COLOR?! Yup. Apparently that’s happening, but luckily Notorious J-A-Y helps this poor middle class white boy from the burbs understand. […] Read more
As a marketing vehicle, the combine is the greatest pint of snake oil ever sold in sports history. The fact that television covers it, and news outlets pay to send reporters is amazing. And yeah, it’s a fun guilty pleasure. But it probably does more harm than good. Andy Pollin joins me to make his […] Read more
It’s the “most important position in sports” and yet, the ability for NFL teams to adequately sort out the shiners from the shitstains, remains highly imperfect. So on a dreary combine Saturday, I bought wings and a soda for one Coach Paul Troth, who knows a thing or two about quarterbacking to give me his […] Read more
So I guess I should offer a hearty “congrats” to the MLB mega-star who once called DC his home. He did it. His agent, Scott Boras “did it.” They got a record amount of money from the Phils. But will it be worth it, once it’s all said and done? Kyler Murray is not a […] Read more
You would think that my guest Notorious J-A-Y’s favorite rock n’ roll group Queen getting a Hollywood blockbuster made about them would make him boundlessly happy. Not so. Too many liberties for Jay, and he breaks them down today. LeBron James has actived “Pout Mode.” Jussie Smollet and the latest “go ahead and try to […] Read more
The NFL has become a league of optics, and a league that goes out of it’s way to be “women friendly” in every regard. This Orchids of Asia story… is… as the meme goes… “Not great, Bob!” How could Kraft be this stupid/reckless? What will the NFL do? Also highlights of my trip to Africa […] Read more
Nobody feels the least bit sorry for ballplayers like Bryce Harper or Manny Machado. That said, what both superstars have run into, is bullshit. Somehow, all 30 owners in MLB were able to “change the rules” on contracts almost overnight. I answer your subscriber only email questions, talk to my pops who turns 80 (!) […] Read more
Buffalo Bills first rounder out of Wisconsin Lee Evans joins myself and Fred Smoot to discuss his career in the NFL, as well as the hot topics in the league this offseason: everything from Kyler Murray’s prospects at QB, to Kareem Hunt’s off-field trouble, to the difficult to manage but even more difficult to cover […] Read more
The case of Kareem Hunt is an interesting reflection of how little empathy some in the media have for human beings who have made a serious mistake in judgement. So Hunt should never play in the NFL again? What would that achieve? What would it prevent? Whose best interests would it serve? Does the notion […] Read more
