So Kyle Larson, a NASCAR Driver competing in an online race of members of the NASCAR grid, decided to be racist while forgetting he was, you know, on a race being streamed around the world. The absolute moron decided to say the word "N****". Obviously, I can't put it here. I don't have 13 million dollars to lose every year. This is unfortunate because he was driving in the same team as Scott Dixon and was actually a relatively talented driver. Kyle Larson (above) lost his job on his day off Another unfortunate thing is that Larson has made more shadows over NASCAR, a sport with a heavy outside view of being racist and the organization didn't actually handle it very well at all. I mean, I can watch NASCAR pretty happily, it's a great thing to watch that brings a totally different vibe to a room than Formula One. I'm not from the States, so I can't exactly speak from a place of expertise. Here is his apology video, which I think is pretty poi...

Philadelphia has a lot to cry about. I'm not talking about the fact they live in Philadelphia, I mean, of course, the 76ers, the Flyers, the Phillies and, of course, the NFL version of the Cavs... Those pathetic Eagles. I mean I love Philly sports, but if we're being realistic, the best thing we have going for us right now is the Flyers. The Flyers, as of right now, are sixth in the league, a very strong showing. In terms of the eastern conference, they're fourth. This is pretty good for Philadelphia. We are being shown some legitimate athleticism. I mean... I don't support the Flyers, I support the Winnipeg Jets and I'm proud to say that, even though the Hockey stinks. But the Flyers are a really good product at the moment. They're three points ahead of the Penguins which is arguably just as important than winning the Cup. Besides, whenever Philly win anything (eyes on you Eagles), they become the most moronic excuses for athletes we have ever seen. About t...

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, b...

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...

The Chicago Bulls have just hired Arturas Karnisovas as the new Head of Basketball Operations. He's coming from his role in Denver as their General Manager. This finally means we can say good to the absolute dog named John Paxson. The even better news is knowing that Arturas is now in charge of replacing that other dog who is named Gar Forman, the current Bulls GM. This front office restructure will hopefully do a lot for the Bulls. Let's be honest, if you support Basketball, you support Chicago. You don't necessarily like them, but nobody moans when Chicago wins a game or two... Probably because they don't win games that much anymore. Let's also admit this, Chicago hosted what is probably the best All-Star Weekend, in terms of format, I've seen in years. I'm a big fan of Chicago sports, I hope they do really well. But let's see what other moves the new Head of Basketball Operations makes for his front office. Let's also hope they can get rid of ...

President Donald Trump held a conference call with the commissioners of a number of major US Sporting Leagues including Adam Silver (NBA), Rob Manfred (MLB), Gary Bettman (NHL) and the walking tumour that is Roger Goodell (NFL). Adam Silver (NBA), is still wanting to crown a champion for the current season with many rumours going around including one where all games would be played in Las Vegas to limit the travel for teams and therefore slowing the spread of COVID-19. Commissioner Silver has said that the league would need an "all clear" from leading health officials before any return could be made. I want to talk about Roger Goodell though... That pointless piece of crap that controls the National Football League. This completely money-driven, careless and purely disgraceful piece of work has told the teams in the league that they need to be ready to conduct the draft as usual even though facilities are shut through to April the 8th at least with the draft being held on...

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...

A Letter to The New Yammer Faithful. Yammer House - It's a sports blog that'll probably die within three months, but screw it... here we are. This isn't the blog for you if you want a report of the game just played between Philadelphia and Boston. Yammer is a bunch of dudes writing down their thoughts about sport. Don't expect anything great, because we definitely aren't. We don't care if you want to insult us, in fact, we'll encourage it. The purpose of this blog is not to be professional, we just say what all sports fans are thinking and we will see how it goes from there. We don't expect this to last very long, but after it's all said and done, let's catch up for a beer or seven and talk Sports. Welcome to the House. - The General
