data-mm-id=”_uu99rwjix”>Richard Jefferson set the online sports world aflame with a single tweet following last night's Heat-Bucks game. After Milwaukee lost Game 2 to go down 2-0 in the series on a last-second foul call, Jefferson declared reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo a "Pippen" rather than a Michael Jordan-type superstar. Consequently, Thursday morning's discourse was ripe with takes on both sides of this idea. Jay Williams talked about it on this morning's edition of Keyshawn, JWill, and Zubin on ESPN Radio. Williams argued that it's not like calling Giannis a Scottie Pippen-type is an insult because LeBron James was the Pippen to Dwyane Wade's Jordan in Miami. “LeBron James was a Pippen once!”@RealJayWilliams explains why Giannis needs a…
data-mm-id=”_ajggotjp4″>The Miami Marlins lost a playoff series for the first time in franchise history on Thursday, as the Atlanta Braves finished off a three-game sweep in the National League Division Series. While it was a disappointing exit for Miami, the team's season has been nothing short of remarkable. After what the Marlins accomplished, Don Mattingly should be the runaway pick for National League Manager of the Year. Miami had the worst record in the National League in 2019 (57-105), yet Mattingly and his coaching staff were able to turn things around and shock everyone in 2020. The Marlins finished the year with a 31-29 record and they swept the heavily-favored Chicago Cubs in the Wild Card Round. They were able to do all of that despite having their season shut down fo…
data-mm-id=”_krogu4d3f”>The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers will be available to stream on Disney+ on March 26th. The official trailer was released late last week and the first thing that will jump out to anyone with excellent taste in Canadian comedy is Reilly from Letterkenny as what appears to be the head coach of the Ducks.Now, as we learned last year, the Ducks are actually bad now while Coach Gordon Bombay will be involved with Lauren Graham and the new team. So that means Reilly is the new Coach Reilly. Umm… hold on just a minute there. Are you trying to tell me that in the original movie the coach of the Hawks is Coach Jack Reilly and in the new series the coach of the evil Ducks is Reilly from Letterkenny? Is that what you're trying to tell me? That the guy who actually h…
data-mm-id=”_fm423fy6t”>The Phoenix Suns made a big boy move on Wednesday night, acquiring Kevin Durant from the Brooklyn Nets. New owner Mat Ishbia put his stamp on the team immediately and made the Suns the NBA's new power team. The Nets are trading Kevin Durant to the Phoenix Suns for a package including Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, four first-round picks and additional draft compensation, league sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. https://t.co/fJoFHv3i7M— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) February 9, 2023The Suns are sending Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder, four first-round picks and a 2028 pick swap to the Nets for Kevin Durant and T.J. Warren. It is a franchise-altering deal as Durant will team with Devin Booker, Chris Paul and Deandre Ayton to form a foursome no one …
data-mm-id=”_mis1eqej8″>We knew that Tua Tagovailoa got himself a massive new tattoo on his non-throwing arm and non-throwing shoulder but the Miami Dolphins quarterback has been hiding that thing under a bushel until he was ready for the big reveal. The blessed unsheathing came today after practice where Tagovailoa stood in front of a sponsored team backdrop and dropped the art on the outside the world. And thankfully, it looks tremendously crafted.

data-mm-id=”_2nl5eq6da”>Sam Houston State hosted UTEP on Wednesday night at Elliott T. Bowers Stadium in Huntsville. The Bearkats came into the game with an 0-7 record, but jumped out to a 21-10 with less than a minute remaining in the first half. Everything was going great, until a fan in an inflatable penis costume was escorted out by security. Sam Houston State is up 21-10 & looking to win their first game of the year. The fans, however, are focused on something else atm… pic.twitter.com/dUQygWcHRQ— College Football Campus Tour (@CFBcampustour) October 26, 2023At least that's what it looks like. When you have a polo with the school logo and khakis, you look official. It could have just a good friend helping someone in a penis costume navigate the stairs safely. Either w…
data-mm-id=”_ch2e6r4g9″>The Kansas City Chiefs once again failed to look like the Kansas City Chiefs yesterday as the Las Vegas Raiders came into town and pushed everyone around while ruining Christmas. Patrick Mahomes doesn't have any weapons and, more alarmingly, he looks very human. Barring something crazy they will win the AFC West but they've already created a destiny in which they'll have to win playoff games on the road — something this group is yet to accomplish during its dynasty. Or, if you're looking for a more visual representation, things can be summed up by the dog who didn't think twice about pooping on the field after the final whistle. It's the type of clip that's been flying around the internet and a lot of people feel confide…
data-mm-id=”_fjssdxs8l”>Paul Pierce will likely be joining FS1's Undisputed and his first appearance could come as earlier as this week, The New York Post's Ryan Glasspiegel reports. The NBA Hall of Famer will join the rotating panel surrounding Skip Bayless that includes Keyshawn Johnson, Michael Irvin and Rachel Nichols among others. Pierce, who hosts The Ticket & The Truth podcast with his former Boston Celtics teammate Kevin Garnett, tends to say the type of stuff that pops on social and sparks conversation so the move makes sense as the NBA season ramps up toward the playoffs. If finalized, it would mark his return to linear television after his high-profile exit from ESPN in 2021. He appeared on Undisputed a few times last fall so everyone should be able to hit the …
data-mm-id=”_v2lwm81nm”>It's gone from bad to worse to terrible to awful for the Chicago White Sox.Heading into their Tuesday night matchup with the Baltimore Orioles, the White Sox had a 31-108 record, putting them on pace for the most losses in an MLB season in the Modern Era, which began in 1901. The dubious record is held by the 1962 New York Mets, who lost 120 games in their inaugural MLB season. The White Sox are in the midst of a 12-game losing streak after falling 9-0 to the Orioles Tuesday night. The streak isn't even their second-worst of the season. They had a 14-game losing streak from May 22 to June 6 and a 21-game losing streak from July 10 to August 5. That streak was two losses behind the record for most losses in a row set by the 1961 Philadelphia Phillies. D…
