I want to make a self-deprecating joke, but as a 32 year old Buffalo sports fan, this is the most fun I've had watching sports in my adult life.  Read more

What do you mean? He’s got Calvin Joh—oh. Read more

Yeah if only Matt Stafford had some freakish, once-in-a-generation receiver he could throw to I bet that would put this team over the top. Read more

All that government mandated raking from his childhood is finally paying off. Read more

The top line makes it fun to be an Avs fan right now, but you really nailed it with the last paragraph. The rest of the team is largely unremarkable. Unless they find more scoring, it will be an uneven season. Read more

The thing about Mike Francesa is that he will say the same thing at least 15 times in a single segment. In a single segment, that is, he will say the same thing 15 times. 15 times. The same thing. 15 times. That’s really the thing. Saying the thing. 15 times. He says it. 15 times. Really, just listen to him. If you Read more

<gently> He was actually able to stop dunking just fine. The image in the header is just a looping clip - it’s showing the same moment over and over, not actually condemning him to repeat his actions for all eternity. I hope this sets your mind at ease. Read more

Had PG13 not re-signed in OKC because of the 1st-round exit to Utah where they regularly targeted Melon in the pick and roll switches, the OKC crowd definitely would’ve booed the crap out of him.

Eat shit, Clay Bennett III! Read more

Not a coincidence Mike Tomlin isn’t in frame. Read more

Sports injuries suck, but from a fan perspective, it really sucks when it happens to stupendously fun players you want to see. He’s good for basketball, not just the Knicks, so all this just sucks. Read more

This stinks but I don’t think his lack of playing time this year is going to scare too many teams from making healthy competing offers a la Isaiah Thomas. He doesn’t really on his quickness or jumping ability nearly as much as most others who have recently suffered ACL injuries. He could be hobbled and still shoot Read more

On the flip side, it gave us a fucking great burn from the local Detroit paper.
