Just when you thought Pop-Tarts couldn’t get any more convenient.

Because it’s introducing a FOMO they can’t do anything about. But I’m going to go right ahead and say that about Luis Tiant. If you didn’t get to see him pitch, you truly missed out. you’ve got the option to watch all the highlights. And I suggest you do. But seeing him in real time was one of the great joys I’ve ever had. As a fan of sports or of life....

Yes, dysfunctional teams do dysfunctional things. That didnt happen, were told, when the Jets fired Salehs predecessor, Adam Gase. Its not unprecedented, but its unusual. The Browns did it to G.M. George Kokinis in 2009. For high-level employees of any organization, its a bad look. Its a power play, plain and simple. Of course, theres a chance that will happen with Saleh, too. This shows that there was probably way more beef behind the scenes than we thought....

It’s simple really. You have basketball schools playing a double round-robin and then the tournament at MSG. It’s what we grew up with when it came to the Big East. Sure, teams have changed, but the new teams feel like they ‘fit.’ Xavier, Creighton, Butler, they all feel like Big East teams at this point. We gotta stop the nonsense. Who are we even talking about here? The obvious answers are Dayton, St....

You know whats hilarious? The fact that the best winger in the world right now isAmerican. Yeah, you heard that rightChristian Pulisic, anti-communist, bald-eagle-soaring, BBQ-at-the-4th-of-July American. Its like finding out that the worlds top sushi chef is from Kansas. Soccer is supposed to be Europe and South Americas thing. Lets be honestthis wasnt supposed to happen. For decades, the world has mocked the U.S. when it comes to soccer. Its the ultimate plot twist....

Atlantic Division The Toronto Maple Leafs made significant improvements on defense, adding Chris Taney and Oliver Ekman-Larsson. They will win the division, but can they overcome the postseason struggles? That will be the test in Toronto, which will rely heavily on new coach Craig Berube. The Florida Panthers captured their first Stanley Cup but lost several key players. Battling the Stanley hangover will be the first test for Florida. The only question is whether their age will catch up with them when the pressure of the playoffs mounts....

But listen, the guy deserves to do whatever he wants. If you’re going to talk the talk, you’ve gotta be able to walk the walk. And he did that and then some in Game 2. Undoubtedly the most life-sucking play I’ve ever experienced live. The atmosphere in Cleveland was electric. Then our bullpen did what our bullpen does: shuts down everyone. Cade Smith for his 1 and 2/3 of hitless/scoreless baseball....

The Yankees mustered up nothing but a dull roarlast nightin Game 2 of the ALDS. Carlos Rodon’s hot start fizzled out quick in the 4th. Giancarlo’s speed killed them once again. They couldn’t string together hits to save their lives. It’s an obvious take that someone with half a brain could conjure up. Soto and Judge all year terrorized opposing pitchers. When they’re on they transform the lineup. The guys feed off of those two....

This is a blog about the MLB playoffs and I think the 4th installment of an ongoing conversation. To get fully caught up on everything I’ve already had to say,click here. For purposes of staying organized, I’ve predetermined a list of 9 critical things to talk about. Let’s count up. All four series are tied 1-1which is so rare that it’s literally never happened. The closest was in 2011 when 3 of the 4 series started 1-1....

And that leads us right into… This was no easy task. And this is what I got. An 8:31 kickoff and 4:09 long game means this game ended at 12:40am Eastern Time. But hey - at least the home team won. Not the case on Sunday. And it’s Pittsburgh, so you know they all gotta get up at 5am for work. Probably didn’t even bother changing out of those mildewed socks....

Let me be very clear: I am not making an excuse as to why the Guardians lost. His words, not mine. No, making excuses is not what I’m doing it all. So again, Detroit won the game fair and square yesterday. Here’s how the game ended: Blue have a reservation at the Harry Buffalo or what? Watch that video posted above again. The guy is good and doesn’t need any extra help....

Rushmore of vibes without question.

The lack of any significant roster changes certainly wasn’t due to a lack of trying. A brilliant yet cutthroat piece of business. They were crafty enough to ship Goody. Troubs was crafty enough to keep him & his family where he wanted them to be. Sometimes the team wins & other times the player does. That’s the business. With that potential cap flexibility lost, the opportunity for a big splash addition was lost as well....
