The Mets Shouldn't Try To Save This Team At The Trade Deadline

It’s over, right? The Mets are 35-42 and sit 15.5 games back of the division. That was gone a month ago.The Atlanta Braves are just so much better. But even the playoff hopes look about as healthy and robust as I do. The Mets are sitting 8 games back of the final wild card spot. $364 million dollars doesn’t buy what it used to. This roster was always flawed. I was too blinded and hopeful in the Justin Verlander signing to see it myself....

It Is Perfectly Acceptable To Run Over Someone With A Golf Cart In Certain Situations

I feel like I discuss people getting run over by golf carts in about 50% of my blogs. I just can’t help it. They’re very funny. I remember Riggs and Dave going back and forth on the subject. Riggs was vehemently against it, because posting the videos was basically encouraging that bang out of behavior. But to Dave’s point, they are very funny. This was the outcome of their debate....

After Trading Marcus Smart, The Trust In Brad Stevens Is Being Put To The Ultimate Test

I’ve lived through several big Celtics trades in my life, with a wide variety of results. I lived through Rick Pitino trading Chauncey and Dee Brown for Kenny Anderson. That…didn’t exactly work out. That….didn’t exactly work out either. I lived through trading Toine, which was the first true gut punch of my teenage years. As you’re able to imagine, Raef LaFrentz and Jiri Welsch didn’t bring a title. Of course, the Big 3 trade did....
