Its go time in Scottsdale. We are joined by Ben Griffin & the Bob Does Sports crew to kick off the WM Phoenix Open.

Can’t exactly say this is stunning news given the fact that Virginia was 102 years-old. The matriarch of the Bears and the NFL has passed. The last game Virginia ever saw was the Bears winning in Lambeau. Glad she got to see that. Terrible news for her family. I am sure she was loved. She had a million kids and grandchildren and it’s always important to remember the actual family grieving....

The USA vs Canada rivalry in hockey is one of the greatest rivalries in sports. The fact that no Canadian-market team has won a Stanley Cup since 1993? The rivalry is as alive and well as it’s ever been. But turns out these maple syrup guzzling hosers had their eyes set on the Quebec International Peewee Hockey Tournament.

I’ve made no effort to hide the fact I’m beyond sick of Travis Kelce. And with Trump coming to the game Sunday, that time was now. His answer was nothing less than statesmanlike. A masterclass in diplomacy: “Thats awesome. Its a great honor. So, thatd be pretty cool.” The way he didn’t take a side. Deflected by referencing all presidents. Like Dick Winters says to Capt. Sobel at the end ofBand of Brothers, “You salute the rank; not the man....

On its face, it might feel like a “no shit” pop in of argument. He has 2 super bowl MVPs from wins against the best dynasty in football history and decent bulk stats. That alone, at least to me, means that he isgoingto make it. Lets break down if heshould, though. To me, I think it’s crucial that you look at a few factors: 1. How they stacked up vs the other players at their position in their respective era....

I dont even know where to begin. Im at a complete loss for wordsexcept to say that Pat Riley should be arrested for treason. The Miami Heat had no leverage in this situation. But Andrew Wiggins and P.J. Tucker for Jimmy Butler? Thats the return for the heart and soul of this franchise? Jimmy Butler was meant to be a Heat lifer. He was supposed to retire in South Beach, his legacy cemented in the rafters of Kaseya Center....

Lawrence Taylor one of the greatest football players, and maybe best defensive player, of all time. Total wackjob but boy could he play. All time player but WACKJOB. Rumors of sending prostitutes to the other team’s hotel. But this latest one is my favorite because forgetting things and names is inherent in football. I played for a coach who called a kid named Matt … “Dan” for his entire career....

These videos always deliver. Let’s break it down and weigh the options of who’s right and who’s wrong here. First let’s examine the layout of the situation. Travis Scott is sitting courtside for the Lakers Clippers game. A relatively well known musician but hey people can be older and not know the face by heart. So I get how security may not know him by face. That could be forgivable....

I consider myself a man who enjoys a good conspiracy theory as much as anyone. Provided that there is an actual good conspiracy to theorize about. To qualify as a decent conspiracy a story needs to have certain elements. Facts that don’t add up. A plausible alternative explanation that goes against the officially accepted narrative. And one of the most pernicious and enduring conspiracies of modern times just celebrated its seventh anniversary....

And there it is. Took long enough, but we finally have a resolution to the Jimmy Butler Trade Saga. This is more about being done with Butler as it is using him as an asset to rebuild. No wonder Jimmy Butler keeps doing this shit, it works! Incredible boondoggle if we’re being honest, part of me can’t help but respect it. That’s what this trade is really for, Playoff Jimmy.

There are two things that every man, woman and child knows about Bill Belichick. When talks about “commitment,” it’s to your football program (see above). And it turned out to be one of those smart rings that monitors your health. There’d no public announcement. He’d tell Jordon to keep everything in house and ignore the noise. Because none of them remained by Day 2. A “We’re Onto Chapel Hill” scenario if ever there was one....

Kanye West has reached a level of pure insanity that I aspire to be at someday. Unfortunately, I’m too much of a coward to ever allow myself to fully get there. I was also born with a normally functioning brain. Achieving peak brain is a dangerous game. I don’t think it can even be done intentionally. You have to get the measurements of your drugs + mental illness cocktail just right....

It’s addicting, but also part of the fun. When there’s chaos unfolding in the NBA, there’s no better place to be than Twitter. I imagine things are a tad different. Shit, sometimes players will even be traded mid game! In that moment, you’re Shams. That had to feel incredible. The best part may have been Tyler Herro’s reaction once he heard that trade return. I have a feeling a lot of Heat fans had a very similar reaction....
