In between ESPN milks a dozen "articles" and TV segments out of a worthless ranking that they created, continues to lower the bar for what constitutes sports "journalism."

"or receive any benefits from his celebrity!"

What would you call both local police and a university working to bury rape allegations so that he could stay on the field for championship football games?

Wait, Kirk Cousins is no longer a lock to become the next Tom Brady? But he looked so good when facing that strong team from Jacksonville! #RedskinsFacts

Because it forced them to overcome a 14-3 deficit against the nation's #2 ranked team rather than merely a 7-3 hole in order to do so. Not that tricky.

Give them a break, guys. It's hard enough to spell the team's name correctly, so after all the effort that went into getting that right, a simple picture snafu is totally reasonable.

"small ball and luck seems to be working combined with great defense and a great bullpen. "

Agreed on all accounts. It's interesting to see the contrast between Rachel Nichols being a real journalist (including citing IMG's excellent piece) and FOX Sports 1, which has had Mayweather, Jr.'s smiling mug plastered all over its programming this week to shamelessly promote his fight, yet never once asked the guy…

Hey, at least you got to meet SI's own Peter King and can be comforted that he'll enjoy that souvenir baseball more than your 12-year old self ever could have.

This is the same guy who keeps pumping out "Verducci Effect" articles each year even though his theory was thoroughly debunked years ago. Verducci is clueless when it comes to statistics and irresponsible when it comes to using them.

Give the guy a break, Tim. He just finished a rough week of chatting on the phone with friends and sycophants by writing a lengthy article about Larry Bird (other less relevant NBA players might have been mentioned, too).

When it comes to college basketball, that's exactly what he does.

We probably could've been spared a half dozen posts had the only baseball game that you've ever seen (judging from the constant references to this stray L.A./SD contest) been any of the three Brewers/Rockies matchups at Coors Field from this weekend. Bad luck for us, I guess.

It appeared as though McKenry was crossed up, making it somewhat justifiable that a wild pitch was ruled. Just like a fielder doesn't have to touch a ball for it to be an error, a catcher can get his glove on a pitch and still have it ruled a wild pitch. This could've gone either way. McKenry's dreadful throw and then…

Likely the same people who joining Kirk Gibson in fist-pumping after Ryan Braun was plunked to load the bases in a one-run game, then had the pleasure of watching Jonathan Lucroy immediately follow with a grand slam. I'd feel sorry for Arizona, but, you know, the people.

That's the first thing that comes to mind when I think of Clyde Drexler - role player.

Peter King would've appreciated that foul ball far more than that child.

NBC's brutal broadcasting crew was beating the "instant classic!" drum all morning, too, but, frankly this was exceptionally painful to watch. The entirety of the second set was an exercise in service failure as Sharapova wasted a shot to put the match on hammer lock, rallied to break Halep to force a tiebreak - and…

Oh, that happened about three days into the website's existence.

This screed might actually make some sense if the Grizzlies as a basketball team sucked since Hollinger's arrival. Instead, they've merely made the WC Finals (2013) and gave the #2 seed a seven-game scare this year despite battling injuries throughout the season before losing Zach Randolph for a road Game 7. The front…

Should've happened once he started penciling EY, Jr. back atop the lineup ahead of Juan Lagares. Today's buffoonery with the bullpen was classic Collins, too. Given the ineptitude of MLB managers, though, I doubt that the replacement will be any better (see: Matheny, M.Williams, Yost, Washington, et al).
