We're back! And so is Enes Kanter, whose first game since leaving the Thunder was in Oklahoma City against the Thunder... and his Stache Bro mate. Three games in we've already seen Steven Adams filling the box score up like he fills up those jandals of his.
Green Bay Packers fans got to learn how to spell a new word this week because Aaron Rodgers is probably done for the whole season with that broken collarbone. You really can’t overestimate how much of a devastation that is.
Basically everyone who has ever written about basketball for The Niche Cache (and most who read about it) would have grown up during the peak years of the Chicago Bulls. The Michael Jordan years.
The one major debate about the starting five was whether DJ Newbill would get to start ahead of Kirk Penney and which of the pair would therefore be tasked as the sixth man. Turns out it’ll be Penney, no worries.
Week six of the National Football League and the New York Football Jets still have a (slightly) better record than the New England Football Patriots. Probably not for much longer though.
Whisper it quietly but what do the Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, Denver Broncos, Pittsburgh Steelers, Philadelphia Eagles, Los Angeles Rams, Detroit Lions, Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons and Carolina Panthers all have in common?
The Breakers tip off their new season on Sunday against the Cairns Taipans at Spark Arena. A new season with a blank slate, with refreshed expectations. A new season with three new import players. With a new intake of development players.
It’s a business, they say. There’s no room for sentiment. As a fan you learn to accept this quickly with injuries and trades and retirements and all that ensuring that even the greatest, most loyal players will eventually, one day, move on.
The Wildcard is still recovering from a terrible round of picks last week and we're not gonna talk about the protests. No we're not gonna talk about the protests at all... with several exceptions.
Don’t call them Anthem Protests. Nobody is protesting the national anthem of America, they’re protesting the racial injustice that pervades the country at almost every level. They’re not protesting the flag either, just because they unfold a big one out on the field while they sing a song about it.
Melo’s on his way to OKC and going in the other direction are Enes Kanter, Doug McDermott and a second round pick. Melo waived his no-trade clause for this and he also waived his trade kicker.
A couple things have happened with Kiwi Steve over the last week or so. One is that both ESPN and Sports Illustrated dropped their annual player rankings, which each saw Adams dropping a few places...
How about the bloke Todd Gurley aye? A dude who last year couldn’t find a space to run through if he was crossing the street and now here he is jumping over dudes.
Hinkie worked on his jigsaw puzzle from the inside out and Marks is doing his edge pieces first. Give it a few years and we’ll see if they don’t end up in the same place.
The Cowboys defence is great this season! The Rams have an incredible offence, look at all the points they scored! Sam Bradford for MVP! ... Yeah it's week two, which means time for the annual Overreaction Week.
The long off-season is over, franchise tag holdouts have returned to training, half the Cowboys are suspended and everyone thinks the Patriots are gonna cruise again - the new NFL season is finally here.
Picking right on up where we left off, here are the twenty best quarterbacks in the NFL as devised by El Wildcardo. Please don't sue.
You know the NFL season is just around the corner when the QB rankings come soaring in and, guess what, here they are. Fifth year in a row and everything, it’s officially a tradition.
It’s not about whether the Tall Blacks can win the Asia Cup at full strength, more about how many talented young players are being developed, how well funded and supported the sport is in this country, how many fans get involved… all those things.
Ever since Danny Ainge scooped the greatest swindle in the history of the NBA with the Brooklyn Trade, the Celts have been staked with assets. You can’t even close the desk drawers in Ainge’s office for all the draft picks spilling out of them.
