If this team had blue and orange jerseys with “New York” on the front of them, you and you fellow staffers would be creaming all over yourselves and calling this “THE GREATEST DAY IN THE HISTORY OF SPORTS!”

They tried to steal the New Orleans Hornets after Katrina.

Still better than watching Phil Mickelson pretend to watch his kid’s little league baseball game.

OOOOOOH...Do Donald Trump now!

....and here we go. Back to Manzielspin.

This the perfect dead weekend where a juicy Johnny Douchebag story can dominate the headlines. There is no way this was sent on accident. The only capital he has left is celebrity and relevance. I mean, you knew Deadspin was going to make an article about it 10 minutes after the AP disclosed it.

I kinda like Milk and Honey Original Café Mix

One of my social media “friends,” a dogmatic Republican, decided to fight back today. Something like “Don’t blame the judge for this injustice because it’s a law that was already in the book, and we all know that CALIFORNIA IS THE MOST LIBERAL STATE IN THE COUNTRY. So it’s really the fault of the Democrats.”

Why didn’t he get a picture of Cam Newton?

So when do ESPN and Nike make a push to brand this a “Novak Slam?”

A few nights ago, my wife was watching “Fixer Upper” on HGTV and they showed this episode. I nearly threw up in my mouth. She had no idea what was going on there, and then when I told her, she said “ooooooohhhhhh. That’s what that is?”

I’m torn on Schaap. As a former aspiring sports journalist, I resented him for getting a job at ESPN only because of his dad (which cannot be denied), not to mention the obnoxious way he would say his name to tag his reports.

Presumably the rest of ESPN’s staff was sent out to cover LeBron James’s tweet about it.

It’s a toss-up between Tom Brady’s first Super Bowl or Joe Montana and “The Catch” in the NFC Championship game.

My daughter is now 8, so she’s been out of the Jake thing for a couple of years now, but every now and then I find ways to get her back for subjecting it to the entire family. Now when she complains about something being too hot, I start singing “Hot lava. Hot lava. Hot lava. It’s real hot” and she begins complaining…

Very interesting “article.”

158 million? My wife watches those house-flipper TV shows, and I’m pretty sure that’s the current going rate for a 1,200 square foot house in San Francisco.

I really wish CBS would actually hire SEC guys to cover SEC games. Without Brando and Lundquist, the only Southerners left in the broadcasts are the occasional studio appearances from Archie Manning and Tony Barnhart. Their two SEC football analysts are Purdue and Notre Dame alumni.

ESPN is on channel 18.

There is NO WAY IN HELL television suits will allow an Oklahoma City/Toronto Finals to happen. David Stern would be proud.
