The XFL - A Sad Farewell... Again...

Written By
COVID-19 has ruined a lot of stuff lately. The NBA was the first league to shut down due to the Rudy Gobert testing positive for the virus (and honestly what an idiot with how he joked about it) which saw the entire league shut down. The NHL, logically, closely followed this decision.

Everyone knew the hiatus of these leagues would lead to an eventual return. Absolutely nobody is worried about the financial stability of these leagues, but unfortunately, this virus has caused the shut down of the XFL, the league that tried to rival the everyday crap of Roger Goodell and the NFL. This league was great and showed that it didn't try to take itself too seriously. We all could appreciate the beauty behind that, but unfortunately that has been taken away.

The extra sad thing about the XFL shutting down mid-season, though, is that it is now unlikely to return from this. I wasn't hoping it would become bigger than the NFL, in honesty, it didn't bother me whether it did or not, but what is upsetting is that we might not even know if it was going to be a profitable league playing throughout the NFL off-season. It has unfortunately lost a financial battle because of what can only be called bad timing.

So while we're all like caged chickens in houses, let's all agree to say this... We hate Covid-19 almost as much as we do Roger Goodell, the orange-faced, pathetic joke.

KG Wants The Seattle Supersonics Back?

Written By
Kevin Garnett, the 2020 Hall of Fame inductee, has said he wants to bring the Sonics back to Seattle. I would love to see the Sonics back in the league. I think Seattle is a great place to have an NBA Team. I would take a small-mid market team with no clue what it's doing and has no chance with where it is right now and put them in Seattle and call them the Supersonics. But what team would I get rid of in the current league to put them in Seattle? I'm not taking into consideration the divisions and conferences, this is purely my fantasy at the moment. But I think you need one absolute excuse of a team for this to work and for nobody in the league to really mind that much. So, I look at who is at the bottom of the league. This leaves Golden State and Minnesota from the west and Atlanta and Cleveland from the east. I'm not going to move the Warriors because they have a solid team when they're all healthy and have a solid future ahead of them. T-Wolves are a team I don...

Before COVID-19: The Philadelphia 76ers

Written By
It is no secret that I am a big fan of the Philadelphia 76ers. I trusted Sam Hinkey and what he tried with "The Process" and a third-place finish in the East (51-31) for 2018-19 was exactly what everyone wanted for Philadelphia but after quite possibly the regular season we all wanted, our postseason was over after one clutch shot from Kawhi Leonard. To get over how butt-hurt everyone was after that game seven loss, everyone's attention turned to the 2019-20 NBA Season. The preseason that saw the 76ers dominate everyone they faced until they decided to roll over and die against the Wizards, so hopes were pretty high for what was looking to be a successful season. The first game of the season saw Philly beat Boston 107-93, a good showing that pleased a Wells Fargo Center crowd in Philadelphia. The next two games were played on the road against Detroit and Atlanta which anyone with any sense would think these would be relatively easy for an 'all-star' team like th...

Covid-19 Hits the NFL (We still hate Roger Goodell)

Written By
The NFL has now become the final sport of the four major US Sports to have contracted Covid-19.  As of right now, two active players have tested positive for the virus. Brian Allen (Los Angeles Rams) and Von Miller (Denver Broncos) are the two confirmed players. Who knows, Goodell is probably threatening people around the league with consequences if they confirm they have the virus. Let's admit it, Goodell is an ass hole and this sounds like something he would try to sweep under the rug. All going well, these two will be done with the virus in a matter of weeks, but if I'm honest, something tells me that slug, Roger Goodell, has a grip on some players and has told them not to speak up so he can keep the show on the road. We've already been told that Goodell won't postpone the NFL Draft, risking a lot of crap for team staff and we know Donald Trump has told him that there shouldn't be a delay in the season, so it wouldn't surprise me if this absolute dog of a c...
