Last week at SBNation, Steven Godfrey wrote an excellent piece about the SEC Bag Man and how they funnel money to recruits and players. The article was the topic of the latest Taiwanese animation video of American news, and the results were pretty spectacular. Why do all of the bag men featured look like Jabba the Hutt?!

Warrior passed away last Tuesday, hours after making an appearance on Raw following his Saturday induction into the […]

I get that this is supposed to be facetious and funny, but there’s a little truth in every bit of sarcasm. At the beginning of SportsCenter Saturday morning, Sara Walsh and Bram Weinstein were teasing highlights from baseball and (GASP!) the NHL Playoffs. Stephen A. Smith then appeared on screen yelling about the NBA… because […]

Game one of the Easten Conference Quarterfinals between the Brooklyn Nets and Toronto Raptors is set to take place today. But before the game on Saturday morning, the Toronto Sun trolled the Nets in the most perfect of ways. You see the Nets have a lot of old players, and a Raptor is a type […]

This week Craig Sager’s son revealed on Twitter that his father was to undergo treatment for leukemia just as the NBA Playoffs were set to begin. Turner Sports has yet to have an official statement on the matter, but they have released a statement from Sager himself. It’s a short statement, but it possesses his […]

The best part of Fox Sports Live and Fox Sports One are the entertaining Canadian anchor duo of Jay Onrait and Dan O’Toole. So when an ESPN executive bashed FS1 during Disney Investor Day at Bristol, you knew the boys of fun would have the last laugh. Referencing all the morons who have cursed their […]

No one told MLB Network that baseball is scuffling on a national scale. During the first two weeks of the 2014 MLB season, MLB Network set records for total day viewership. From March 31-April 6, MLB Network’s total day viewers averaged 130,000, the highest mark in network history. That high watermark lasted for all of […]

Chicago White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson has been given a new lease on life so far this season, what with his team actually finding ways to win games and not being crushed by one walkoff defeat after another. Last night during the 8th inning, the White Sox turned an important double play to quash a […]

The ongoing situation with Aldon Smith is sad. Over the last two plus years, he’s been arrested for DUI twice, been stabbed at his house, entered rehab, and most recently, been arrested after an incident with the TSA at LAX. There’s really no need for any more dirt to be piled onto him, yet that’s […]

ESPN had a Disney investor summit on their Bristol campus this week. Can you think of anything dripping more with corporate synergy than Disney Investor Day at ESPN?
