  • Why is Jon Scheyer Receiving the Duke Treatment

    Duke is no longer one of the greatest programs in college basketball. Despite what critics say about Isiah Evans, the Boozer brothers, and Dame Sarr. This team came nowhere close to the vision of Jon Scheyer.

    Now, why is Scheyer receiving the Duke treatment after three consecutive Elite Eights and one Final Four appearance (2025)? He can compile all the top recruits, however. But cannot seem to assimilate a packaged NIL plan.

    You know, the cable plans customers receive on their bills. There is an option of basic or premium and Scheyer is shooting all his Easter eggs in one bucket.

    Mind you, Scheyer is the successor to Coach K and does not possess an inkling of championship experience, yet. If anything, we will see Scheyer back for one more rotten season and try to work the system in a new day and age of basketball.

    Top Duke recruits are not always the end all, be alls of its collegiate sport.

  • Andrew Painter’s MLB Debut

  • Tiger Woods Blew It

    Tiger Woods was preparing to play for the Senior PGA Tour until he accidentally hit his car stationed down the street from his Jupiter, FL home.

    Woods blew it.

    Woods is in stable condition but the horseplay needs to stop just because sponsors and fans are turned off by his performances. His performances have not been the problem. Woods’ masking attitude is the problem.

    If he needs additional support via chauffeur, so be it. This is a hypocrisy to ends of meeting Woods’ criteria.

    What happened to the hard relentless days practicing in a rain storm. Forget shilling his caddies for a moment.

    The relationships do not matter at this point. Woods owes himself one last opportunity and it began at TGL.

  • What Exactly Happened to Paul Skenes on MLB Opening Day?

    Paul Skenes is a man of few words on the baseball diamond. He is vigilant with his pitches and most of all stands up the highest composure out of any MLB pitcher.

    On 2026 MLB Opening Day, nothing but a farce happened against the New York Mets. Yes, it was at Citi Field, but even worse.

    People saw Skenes touch significant career records. He ultimately allow five runs and 4 hits in 0.2 innings. He was removed from the quickest game of his career after only two outs and Mets fans could visibly see players such as Brett Baty become courageous rounding first.

    And, then a Mets rookie Carson Benge hit a home run to right. It was the worst game in Skenes’ young professional career and he has a lot to make up for it this year with especially new additions such as Ryan O’Hearn, Konnor Griffin, Brandon Lowe, and Bubba Chandler.

  • Golden State Warriors Fight

    The Golden State Warriors tried to prevent another catastrophic hurdle from happening last night and that was Moses Moody. The injury was described as if he had ‘buckled’ his knee.

    Poor Golden State..

    The Warriors also lost Jimmy Butler to a torn ACL and did not stunt what Lindsey Vonn tried to accomplish at the 2026 Winter Olympics. Coach Steve Kerr touted how Moody was progressing until injuring his knee.

    This article would not be the same if Jonathan Kuminga was not mentioned. Kuminga is averaging 13 points per game and .601 eFG% meaning the Atlanta Hawks are entrusting in the former GSW to hit 3’s.

    The lesson out of today’s article is Warriors fight. No matter what has happened, three core OG’s still stand. Draymond Green, Steve Kerr, and Stephen Curry and they have not stopped fighting from Day 1 and continue to stockpile wins from time to time. Let’s raise our glass to Moody for ambition, resilience and relentlessness.

    Note: The Golden State Warriors currently rank 10th in the Play-in Tournament.

  • Fernando Mendoza Prepares for the NFL Spotlight

    Fernando Mendoza is a soon-to-be Las Vegas Raider. More likely the case, Mendoza will serve as a significant contributor to a team that has needed help since owner Mark Davis succeeded the team.

    Speaking of which, owners across the NFL league have until March 29 to vote whether Mark Davis should sustain ownership of the Las Vegas Raiders. It is safe to say Egon Durban will be a viable candidate.

    But, the spotlight is on Mendoza just a month in from the possible owner transfer. Not only did Mendoza play fantastic at Indiana, he revolutionized a program under coach Curt Cignetti.

    Mark’s father, Al, invigorated a program of, “Just win, baby!” He was the quintessential leader of his time and Mark owes it to the Las Vegas Raiders.

    After signing Tyler Linderbaum, Nakobe Dean, Kwity Paye, the team needs a leader and that might be Mendoza, and not Crosby.

  • Is Bryce Harper Elite?

    Last night was a travesty for Team U.S.A. They allowed Venezuela to win cleanly, absolutely fair. There was nothing U.S.A. could do except for Bryce Harper.

    Harper tied a must-critical game for USA when it mattered most. Even though Venezuela got away with a win, Harper flipped his bat like nothing came back to haunt him.

    Harper has played like this on a lesser stage, just not enough. The Philadelphia Phillies have been asking a whole lot of Harper since entering town.

    When ranking the Phillies top five players entering 2026, it is Harper, Scwharber, Duran, Turner, Sanchez that must start with a big impact. If Harper is ever convincing himself, he is prowess to the baseball gods.

    Harper will have to play with the same chip on his shoulder until time finally expires. Time expires to the point of exhaustion for Harper to do his job and that is at least win a World Series and prove he is better than all the rest that include Shohei Ohtani, Cal Raleigh and Aaron Judge.

    Harper is capable. He just needs to walk out to Phillies regular season baseball with an elite smile. 🙂

  • Grand Prix Shutdown, WBC, Curry

  • Analyzing the Auston Matthews Injury

    Auston Matthews is out for the season after tearing his MCL to Radko Gudas. Gudas, being notorious for that kind of exposure, has a hefty punishment to play, that is less violence.

    Gudas will only be serving a five game suspension but everyone knows how detrimental it is to lose a star such as Matthews. Czech Republic’s Gudas was waved away for his physicality on Sidney Crosby during Milan.

    It should teach NHL commissioner Gary Bettman from what is right and wrong. Normally, in the minor leagues, this stuff always blows away strong with an injury or two.

    Matthews was dealing with a lower body injury to start the season and now it is going to cost him his career in Toronto. Toronto currently ranks far off the playoff grid and project to trade Matthews by season’s end.

  • Baseball is Thriving Without Bryce Harper

    It is a Thursday. It is March 12 and Bryce Harper repeatedly fails to disappoint.

    He is the former 1st overall pick that got fans invested and currently, now. Harper is having the worst time of his career.

    He has batted 3-for-14 and hit .214 in the World Baseball Classic through 3 games. Phillies teammates Christopher Sanchez and Aaron Nola are thriving and Harper is not. This is the narrative that has stuck with Harper since the news leaked about the linked connection between Dave Dombrowski and Harper.

    Dombrowski claimed early into the ‘run it back’ process that Harper was not a proven leader or elite player. It goes on.

    Harper recently stated in an interview that the World Baseball Classic was not like the grand Olympics. So much for the parading of Central America and Team Italy defeating USA.

    Harper risks the odds, his weak performance comes back to haunt him or, not. (We remember Mike Trout).

    FOX ratings are thriving and Harper is making a complete mockery of himself. It is not too late to return to prominence, but Harper has not proven to be ‘elite’ anywhere close in the WBC.

    The WBC is about defeating Team Italy’s wine glasses, Central America going haywire, and the Tokyo Dome dropping crazy. The essence of this tournament is to not appear in back-to-back interviews with Bussin’ With The Boys and say baseball is the hardest sport to play.

    It is to play a simple game of baseball and have fun. It is so telling Harper is not having fun and who can blame him.

    The Phillies general manager speaks out early into the process of the season, media has gone ablaze. What is interesting enough is the smirk on Harper’s face.

    He needs to take a step back and now might not be the time, but very soon something has to give and humble the former 1st overall pick.
