Bucks vs. Mavericks Player Grades: Rollins fuels a rare win

The Milwaukee Bucks got back in the win column, 123-99, against the Dallas Mavericks last night as several familiar faces (including Khris Middleton), were back in town.

What to make of some early struggles by Tyler Wells

Happy April Fools day, everyone! I don’t have a trick for you, although some may call any analysis after only five games a “joke.” We’ll call this one an “observation” from Baltimore’s first homestand just to be safe.

The mysterious case of Sidd Finch

The origin of April Fool’s Day remains murky. It appears to have originated in the early to mid-1500s in France. Many people still partake today, pranking family, friends, and co-workers. It’s a bit of a remnant from a time when we didn’t take everything so seriously and could still laugh at ourselves and with others. […]

What did you think of Andrew Painter’s debut?

You know the old saying about good things and those who wait. Andrew Painter had to wait longer than he expected for his MLB debut.

Eight critical questions the Leafs should ask the candidates to be their next GM

The Toronto Maple Leafs are in the market for a new GM, and probably a president too. I’m offering my services. No, not for the jobs themselves. But I’m willing to act as a consultant for the interview process. Specifically, I’ve got a few questions that I’d love to see Keith Pelley and his hiring committee ask potential candidates before making a decision on who’ll lead this franchise into the future. Normally I’d charge a hefty fee to a corporate client for this sort of insight, but given th...
