After Bullying The Magic (Again), There Is Not A More Dominant Team In The NBA Right Now Than The 20-5 Boston Celtics

A perfect week Entering today, here is how things stand. The Celts' overall record is 20-5. They are 14-4 against teams .500 or better. Against the Top 6 in the East, they are 9-2. At home, they remain an NBA best 14-0. Let’s just put that into perspective for a second. That 14-4 record against good teams? ’s a 0.777 winning percentage. That winning percentage would be good for the 3rd highest in the entire NBA....

Justin Fields Completely Stinks, Volume XLI

Of course Getsy blows. Robert Tonyan dropped a wide open pass that may have gone for a 75 yard score, too. To a solid extent, sure. I take one look at that box score and want to puke my guts out. That’s not to say I’m not some football savant. Anytime I verbalize that I’m called drunk, stupid and a remoron. Wait, just kidding. If he takes off with Kmet, hit Johnson on the outlet....

Brendan Schooler’s hold negating a 46-yard return on the the opening kick. Yet another duck hook off the foot of the thoroughly unreliable Chad Ryland.

On the 250th Anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, WaPo Calls it 'Terrorism' by 'a Horde of White Men' in 'Blackface'

It’s the defining moment of our nation’s birth. Which is to say, we were Massholes before the word was even invented. A bunch of goons who are as ungovernable as we are unruly. This is the 250th anniversary of the Tea Party. But not everybody sees it that way. Take for example the editorial page ofThe Washington Post. Seriously, take it. Describing how its seen in Americans collective cultural view, Johnson wrote, “…...

Dumping Them Out: Donald Trump & Ben Mintz

Welcome back to another episode of Dumping Them Out. This is the earliest I’ve started a Dumping Them Out in quite some time. Not a lot of people are as dedicated as I am to their craft.

At Long Last, The Boston Celtics Finally Beat Their Boogeyman In The Dreaded Orlando Magic

That felt like a true contender reminding the up and comer who still runs the NBA. Not just the East. There are levels to this thing. I saw a focused Boston Celtics right from the opening tip. Everyone on the perimeter was going to have to hold their own because the backline was Lamar goddamn Stevens.

Fixing the Offseason College Football Calendar

At the same time, teams prepare for a bowl game. How did we get here? It started with Early Signing Day, which was introduced in the 2017-18 cycle. The thought was simple enough.

Therefore, all ESD did was essentially move signing dayINTOthe CFB bowl season....
