House Buford is finally getting the recognition it deserves. With a name that feels pulled straight out of Game of Thrones, Robert Canterbury Buford has won his first NBA Executive of the Year award today. You may not know that Buford was once an assistant coach for Larry Brown, with the San Antonio Spurs, alongside […]
The MLB season is well underway. Small sample sizes and confirmation bias are hitting on all cylinders in the early going. The Angels are falling fast (strongly striking my confirmation bias), the Rays can’t hardly swing a bat collectively (striking the confirmation bias of many others) and some top prospects are playing like organizational depth […]
I woke up in the middle of the night to a notification that said the following, “Cubs reach $500 million deal with city of Chicago for Wrigley Field overhaul.” I honestly don’t think I could’ve read anything to make me happier at 11:30 other than a text from that girl I’ve been desperately hitting on […]
Every time I hear about a team’s established franchise veteran leaving, I always picture the final scene from the late 70’s early 80’s Incredible Hulk T.V. show.

He has been with the Indianapolis Colts for 15 years, but is in his first year as the vice president of football operations. The Chargers owners fired GM A.J. Smith and head coach Norv Turner this […]
Let me clarify, unlike when I wrote my Chip Kelly to Cleveland piece, this is not official yet. BUT, there are reports and smoke all over the internet that the Sacramento Kings owners, the Maloof Family, are on the verge of selling the Kings to a group led by Hansen-Ballmer of the Seattle area. This […]
Shad Khan, the fantastically moustached owner of the Jacksonville Jaguars, has hired a new GM, Atlanta director of player personnel Dave Caldwell. After a week of interviews, Khan found the man to replace ex-GM Gene Smith. Smith had been with the team since it’s inception in 1994, starting as a regional scout and working his […]
After the first week of NFL firings and hirings, there have been a few big names signed or burned. Namely Chip Kelly spurning in the NFL again this year and making me look like a fool for writing an entire Cleveland story…oh well. General Manager hirings always take just a bit longer to get settled […]
