data-mm-id=”_3ok27tzed”>The New York Knicks are one of the best stories and basketball and Julius Randle is the lead man. The former No. 7 overall pick, on his third team in seven NBA seasons, is averaging 23.6 points, 10.6 rebounds, and 6.0 assists per game. He wrapped up his best three-game stretch of the season last night, scoring 44 points on 16-of-29 shooting to lead his team past the Dallas Mavericks. It came after Randle scored scored 34 against the Lakers and 32 against the Pelicans, both winning efforts. It was a wonderful week of narrative excellence for Randle, an exclamation mark on a career year. He beat the team that drafted and subsequently traded him and the team that helped him become the player he is now, topped off by beating the forward he replaced in New York that …
data-mm-id=”_c2g4444x4″>Unless you're an overly committed contrarian, we can all agree, start-to-finish, this was the best season ever for the KBO on ESPN. Both from the production and ratings standpoints. It's very tough to argue that for a very specific reason. Those who have stayed with the league through the Major League Baseball season have been treated to all the in-play action and underwhelming bullpens a heart could desire. Now, with the pesky World Series out of the way, everyone can focus on the KBO playoffs, which begin Sunday morning and will be televised across the ESPN networks. Here's the complete schedule (all times ET):Sunday, Nov. 1, 1 a.m.: Teams TBD, ESPNEWSMonday, Nov. 2, 4:30 a.m.: Teams TBD, ESPN2Wednesday, Nov. 4, 4:30 a.m.: Teams TBD, ESPN2Thursd…
data-mm-id=”_jazzfxu0o”>The rap music community is Dying of Thirst, and by that I mean we are all dying for a new Kendrick Lamar album. It's been over four years since he released DAMN. Based on his previous release schedule (Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City in 2012, To Pimp A Butterfly in 2015) it seemed reasonable to assume a new album would come in 2020. Looking at it logically, he probably planned on releasing new music, but then the pandemic hit and the music touring industry shut down and any plans went to hell, just like everything else. I have nothing to back that up. It just makes a certain amount of sense from what we know about Kendrick. He's a rapper and an intelligent businessman who knows he can't go too long without dropping something, but won't do so if there…
data-mm-id=”_439breiib”>The Dallas Mavericks lost to the New Orleans Pelicans on Wednesday night with Kyrie Irving scoring 27 points on 24 shots. During the game he got into it with a fan, saying, "There's nothing like fans trying to tell me how to play basketball." A fan can then be heard shouting about Kryie posting on Amazon, a reference to the anti-Semetic documentary that eventually got him suspended when he was with the Brooklyn Nets. Whatever else was said to him during the game, Irving took to Twitch when he got home to rant about a variety of topics.Fans and Kyrie going back and forth pic.twitter.com/v8dWWdZ3AL— Pro Pels Talk (@ProPelsTalk) March 9, 2023Irving complained about how fans think they know him after watching him play and took a shot at media member…

data-mm-id=”_6spj3up9l”>Debris was found in South Carolina on Tuesday, ending the search for a missing F-35 airplane. The $80 million F-35B Lightning II fighter jet went missing on Sunday after the pilot ejected and it was thought that the aircraft was on autopilot and there was really nothing anyone could do until someone spotted it somewhere. Well, WBTW found someone who spotted it. Or at least heard it.Williamsburgh County's Randolph White told the local news station that he was shaving when he heard a loud noise that was somewhere between a screech and a whistle and then proceeded to make that noise for the television camera. It is not a noise you will soon forget. Witness to the F-35 crash, Randolph White, imitates what he heard when it went down (WBTW) 😂 pic.twitter.…
data-mm-id=”_oplwys4yp”>Glen Powell and Syndey Sweeney's new movie, Anyone But You, finally has an official trailer and viewers can officially confirm that these are two very attractive people. Perhaps as attractive as two people have ever been while in one movie. While the preview has been approved for all audiences, just know that children will have questions, such as, "With chemistry like that it's hard to believe the leads aren't dating in real life." Well kid, that's not a question and they aren't, so deal with it. Anywhere, here's the trailer for Anyone But You featuring the butts of both leads. There's like two more hours of this. Hopefully the movie has been digitized because actual film of these two would burst into flames. The movi…
data-mm-id=”_tldzk64fk”>Donald Trump's mental fitness was called into question over the weekend after he repeatedly mixed up names during various campaign stops around New Hampshire. He responded by forgetting how to say climate. On Monday morning MSNBC's Morning Joe played a clip of Elise Stefanik defended Trump saying, "President Trump has not lost a step. He is a stronger candidate. Stronger than he is today than he was in 2016 and 2020." As Stefanik started to pivot to Joe Biden, MSNBC cut back to the desk where Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough were waiting with two of the most unimpressed looks you have ever seen on television.Stefanik: That isn’t a mixup. The reality is Nikky Haley is relying on Democrats just like Nancy Pelosi to try have a desperate sho…
data-mm-id=”_k5hau1j0q”>Pat McAfee showed up to WWE's Royal Rumble on Saturday and joined commentary on the event. He also wound up being the 22nd entry into the men's Royal Rumble match. He lasted 38 seconds and eliminated himself rather than battle WWE superstar Omos. On Monday he defended his inclusion in the event. McAfee had Dan Orlovsky on his show and, as it went off the air from ESPN and continued on YouTube, he had some words for people upset that he took one of the 30 spots in the match only to check out and give up. He answered back at those critics.Here's what he had to say:Omos is WAY TOO BIG @danorlovsky7 #PMSLive pic.twitter.com/KmoE5L7Lu2— Pat McAfee (@PatMcAfeeShow) January 29, 2024Let's be real, the Royal Rumble has always had funny spots and qui…
