I think we remember eras by players. Unless a coach is at a spot for a long period of time, you tend to associate them with the players who embodied their achievements and/or failures. Who doesn’t tie Ed Orgeron and Joe Burrow at the hip? Even despite everything that came after. I think that, when […]
The Utah Jazz were one of the biggest surprises in the NBA’s opening slate of games, trouncing the Clippers by 21 points in an ultra efficient win on Wednesday night.

For the Astros’ fan, deprived of any meaningful games since late September, this World Series might not seem worth watching. Hard to blame the Houston fan for thinking that. The only notable Astros news centers on the purges of coaches/trainers and the signing of a depth piece at pitcher. Still, a World Series is a […]
