Three and a Half Stories to Look Forward to This NFL Season

August 10, 2015 Joe Sargent

With the annual Hall of Fame game in the books, the 2015 NFL season has officially started(!!). Time to shift from “I wish football was back” tweets to “(fill in the blank) looked really good in training camp!” tweets. Soon we’ll get tweets about actual, you know, games. But until then, we’ll look ahead to […]

Took a week off from SBM during the slow sports month of July and everyone decided to go all 12 Years a Slave! In case you missed it, Hulk Hogan, Colin Cowherd, and Charles Haley (of all people) decided to collectively step in it over racial topics the past few days. Each made a fool […]

This past weekend, Serena Williams won Wimbledon for the sixth time after (relatively) easily beating Garbine Muguruza. Unhappy simply enjoying the moment, the question came back to mind… Is Serena the greatest ever? Thing is, I’ve never really set about answering this question. So without years of research to rely on, I did the next […]

July 6, 2015 Joe Sargent

Big news out of the NBA this week as free agency kicked off. Most importantly, I was right…again! Also, late Monday night Mo Williams agreed to re-join LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is hilarious for a lot of reasons, not the least of which is the avalanche of tweets you all dug up […]

Took a breather after a long NBA season. To sum it up quickly: I was right. LeBron James may have proved as much in losing as he would if he won. Somehow we’re already turning the page to next season, and that begins with the Draft and Free Agency. Last week’s draft came and went […]

While you were sleeping, a single white gunman opened fire on innocent people in one of the United States’ oldest African American churches, Emanuel AME church. Often referred to as “Mother Emanuel”, the congregation was established in 1816. What many thought would be a typical Wednesday night bible study, somehow was transformed into a horrific […]

Two Games Into the NBA Finals…Will the Cavs or Warriors Win it All?

June 8, 2015 Joe Sargent

We’re eight quarters and two overtimes into a surprisingly (for me anyway) competitive NBA Finals, and I’m at a crossroads. Hardly anything has gone how I predicted. The Warriors can’t shoot. The Cavs took a game in Oakland. Stephen Curry is airballing game winners. LeBron James is carrying the Cavs (which I predicted) and it’s […]

We are just a few short days from the end of the NBA season. We’ll get to the recap in the coming weeks, but for now let’s appreciate what we have: A matchup between the best team in the league and the best team the shaky Eastern Conference could muster. Ummmm, a matchup between the […]

What the Hell Does Roger Goodell Have to do to Ruin the NFL?

May 11, 2015 Joe Sargent

2

If you care about sports at all, you’ve no doubt learned that the NFL handed down a ridiculous suspension/fine/loss of draft pick punishment to the New England Patriots and Tom Brady. By any reasonable measure, this was an overreach by Roger Goodell, a commissioner whose reputation and legacy are wholly defined by missteps like this. […]
