data-mm-id=”_cr4pum2kg”>The daily routine of rising and firing up some KBO has become quite comfortable and ESPN has done solid work putting together compelling broadcasts half a world away focusing on a league most people knew nothing about only months ago. Part of the proven calculus has been to stack guests upon each other to discuss baseball and baseball-adjacent things. One could argue that a more conversational and collaborative approach would work for the network's Sunday night broadcast, but that's a topic for a follow-up post when the content well really dries up. Of all the personalities who have passed through the camera lens, few have been as engaging and provided as much added value as Sin Young (Tiffany) Park, who hopped on this morning to provide a unique voice…

data-mm-id=”_8tlvbgoj8″>Against all odds, the NBA successfully created a bubble to host the 2020 playoffs. It's a remarkable achievement that will not fade as time goes on. But that's only the first step in trying to right the basketball ship after the season was postponed for four months. It will probably be at least a year, if not more, before we go back to the October-June schedule that we've all gotten used to over the decades. The first priority will be ensuring the bubble comes to a close with no further issues, with the last possible NBA Finals game set to take place in the second week of October. Then the arduous process of scheduling the 2020-21 season will begin. Initially, the NBA wanted to have the next season start up in December, but that plan fell apart as…

data-mm-id=”_h5k5kj294″>After Everson Griffin was traded to the Detroit Lions by the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday evening, NFL trade deadline szn was officially underway. There was much consternation from Seattle fans after Griffin went to the Lions and the Seahawks did not appear interested. They desperately need … well, any help at all on defense, but especially with their pass rush. Wednesday gave an indication that the Seahawks were merely biding their time (or got outbid and settled on their second option, depending on how positive a person you are) as they sent a seventh-round pick and a backup center for longtime Bengals pass-rusher Carlos Dunlap. Dunlap has been extremely displeased with his lack of playing time this season and has made that very clear via social media posts. He…

data-mm-id=”_9fj8lwvw4″>This ain't your grandpa's Steelers, but maybe they're trying to be. A report emerged today in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette that the Steelers are set to draft a running back, "likely in the first round, no later than the second." They reportedly want a "dynamic" running back who can be what Le'Veon Bell once was. This is part of an offseason spent overhauling their approach to the rushing game in an attempt to not be the worst running team in the league, as they were in 2020. Seems like a smart plan with injury-prone Ben Roethlisberger back under center in 2021. The top two draft prospects who fit that criteria are Alabama running back Najee Harris and Clemson running back Travis Etienne. Harris is expected to be picked in t…

data-mm-id=”_4y8e17tk7″>Syracuse beat Wake Forest in their regular season finale on Sunday, 72-63. After finishing the regular season with a 17-14 record, they will now face Wake Forest again in the first round of the ACC Tournament on Wednesday. It hasn't been a great season for the Orange. Most of them haven't been in the twilight of coach Jim Boeheim's career. Despite the win, Boeheim kept true to his ornery self by getting mad at people who call in to radio shows in a bizarre rant about who buys season tickets. “The fans here, they’re not the ones calling the radio show. Not one fan that was here tonight calls any radio show. The people that call the radio shows do not come to games. They don’t have season tickets. The only way they come is if someone gives th…

data-mm-id=”_spe089fz5″>Donald Trump turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia on Thursday evening. On Friday MSNBC's Morning Joe crew had a good laugh about Trump's self-reported measurements and "strawberry blonde" hair with Joe Scarborough doing most of the riffing since he had the most experience standing near the surprisingly fit ex-president."It was a very sobering moment. I mean, the one of the few moments of levity provided by Donald Trump’s staff, self-reported weight and height. I’ve stood next to him many times. I’m about six-four, maybe he’s six-one, maybe he’s six-one and a half, six two. He’s a good bit shorter, but he is that for 40 minutes, six three and ended up fighting weight of 215. That would be like if my staff rep…
