The Knicks might want to slow their roll. Don’t get me wrong. That was a huge win in the garden over Chicago. They did turn a 21 point lead into a 10 point deficit before doing the Bulls in OT. And for at least a night, Carmelo Anthony justified the big swing the Knicks took on him, forcing...Full take »

Be careful what you wish for: Lamar Odom to Dallas couldn’t have gone any worse for both parties, as both sides agreed to mutually part ways today. Odom is leaving the team without actually being released. Wait, what? What does that even mean? And isn’t this exactly what Odom wanted?...Full take »

What do the following have in common: Towels, Trampolines and Mayonnaise? They’re all responsible for snipering an MLB’er this season.

I’ve always wondered how a guy who talks as much junk as Ozzie Guillen has managed to avoid trouble off the field. Don’t get me wrong, I love this cat.

If the idea of a big league ballpark is to reflect the vibe of the city, then the Miami Marlins nailed it. Because their new joint looks like a beach party with some baseball on the side. Crack of the bat? Fresh cut grass? Hot dogs? More like string bikinis, Pina Coladas, and Go-go dancers. If...Full take »

Not sharing his sugar free popsicles is one thing. Refusing to speak with an ailing family member is another.

The Miami Heat sent a message to the OKC Thunder and the rest of Association last night. Message being, we’re not punks. They know the rap against them. That they’re soft. And that if you hit em in the mouth they will fold. And that’s what the Thunder tried to do. First Kendrick Perkins...Full take »

Lakers v. Clippers felt more like Griffin v. Gravity. Just ask Pau Gasol. Griffin made a 7 footer look like a 7th grader. But it’s all good, Pau. Even the best ever get clowned at some point. And Griffin gets everyone. Full take »

Colts owner Jim Irsay said recently he’s not locked into taking Andrew Luck over Robert Griffin the third.

And I can’t believe I’m about to say this but…the center of the sports world is Central Texas. Yeah I said it. And I said it because Baylor U is killing it. Look, there was a time when you thought of Baylor, you thought Big 12 tomato can. A warm up game for Texas or OU. I remember that...Full take »

I’m not a huge women’s basketball honk, but I don’t care who you are, or what sport you play, you go 40-0, and win a National Championship like Baylor just did, you’ll get some run in this segment. And if you have a problem with Brittney Griner, you have a problem with yourself. Full take »

And this is why Kobe is still Kobe and the Nets are still the Nets. Down 1 to the Lakers with 10 seconds to go, and 2.3 on the shot clock, it never dawned on New Jersey that L.A. might be looking to put the ball in Bryant’s hands. Uh oh! There wasn’t anyone within 10 feet of Bryant. I...Full take »

Now that John Calipari has won his NCAA title and has nothing left to prove in the college ranks, is he headed back to the NBA? I don’t see it.

Memo to Melo: it’s go time. Amare Stoudemire’s busted up. Jeremy Lin is out of action. You got everything you wanted. Your ticket to New York. Your coach fired. And the offensive system of your choice: the one where everything runs through you and you can jack it up 35 times a night. Full take »

Anthony Davis is a freak. He’s the only cat I know who could have his worst offensive effort to date, yet dominate the same game completely. Think Bill Self would have taken Davis shooting 1-10 from the field before that game? Sure, but not if he knew the guy would finish with 16 boards, 6...Full take »
