We Went There…Is Atlanta Really a Sports Cesspool? An SBM Investigation

September 23, 2015 Joe Sargent

“Atlanta is a sport cesspool.” – @JeffJSays I mean, that’s easy to say. Atlanta sports fans get a bad rap, and without really knowing that’s an easy statement to accept on its face. But is it true? That’s what I set to find out last weekend. I had the good fortune of going to Atlanta […]

Will America Ever Fully Embrace Women’s Sports?

October 29, 2014 DamnPops

I could’ve chose any woman to place above but I selfishly had to put up Skylar Diggins because I’m not sure of many things in the world better than her. But today is about some new business and a subject that strays from my usual M.O. I love sports and today’s topic is about the […]

Why Don’t You Care About the Baseball Playoffs?

October 14, 2014 Joe Sargent

With a breather in the MLB playoffs last night, it’s the perfect time to break down the League Championship Series. I don’t write much about baseball here for a couple reasons. First, I’m not that big a fan, that’s a topic for another post. Second, there are about a million writers out there breaking down […]

July 29, 2014 Joe Sargent

We are officially in the dog days of the sports summer. This is when all your favorite ESPN personalities take vacation. When the only game in town is baseball, and we’re somewhere between NBA Free Agency and the start of NFL/College football season. (For the record, Week 1 of training camp does not count as […]

He Wanted To Date My Job, Not Me

February 10, 2014 Ahyiana Angel

I had to learn the hard way that every date is not a date. How so, you may ask. If it looks like a date, talks like a date, and the man pays like it’s a date…then one would likely look to call it a date. Right? I met him at an industry event and […]

4 Ways Being 30 Has Ruined My Sports Fandom

January 14, 2014 Joe Sargent

30. I’m behind on all the goals I had for myself at this age when I was a kid. I was supposed to be a billionaire, astronaut, NBA player (point guard for the Pistons, #1 draft pick of course), Sportscenter anchor, and music mogul. Not a rapper, more like Diddy. Just talk shit on other […]

November 26, 2013 Joe Sargent

There is a lot going on in sports right now. But every once in a while, something happens in the sports world that stops you dead in your tracks. These things are bigger than a game.

SBM Sports: What Sunday’s Game Said About the Lakers’ Playoff Chances

February 26, 2013 Joe Sargent

As the Los Angeles Lakers battle back to .500 (um…) respectability the playoff race, they started off by beating the Dallas Mavericks on Sunday in a game that felt like a tense Game 7. In coming out ahead, I lost myself in the action, thoroughly enjoying the back-and-forth between two seemingly evenly matched teams. Afterwards, […]

Time to Face Facts: The New York Knicks are For Real

December 18, 2012 Joe Sargent

It’s finally time to admit it: the New York Knicks are contenders for the Eastern Conference — even if they did get blown out by the Rockets…twice. I thoroughly enjoy ribbing Knick fans because there is so much material (Isiah Thomas, 40 years without a title, Eddy Curry, Jerome James, etc.) and they always react. […]
