The NBA All-Star Game on Sunday averaged just 4.7 million viewers, a 13 percent decline from last season.
This year’s event was the second-least-watched All-Star Game on record dating back to 1990. Only the 2023 All-Star Game drew fewer viewers, with an average of 4.6 million.
The NBA has spent much of the past five seasons tinkering with the All-Star format, but the results remained the same: a bunch of entitled millionaires end up making a mockery of the game by showing minimal effort and interest.
The cobalt blue court was nice, but nonetheless, not a solution.

There is no shortage of intrigue as baseball returns for the 2025 season.
The Super Bowl is now more than a week in the rear view mirror and, for Eagles fans like myself, I’m still not done re-watching the highlights of their beatdown of the Chiefs. Not even close.
But this week, full squad spring training workouts began around Major League Baseball, and Grapefruit and Cactus League games begin as soon as this weekend. Yes, friends, it’s officially baseball season and there is lots to discuss.

The Bucs need to reload on defense if they plan on repeating as division champs.
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are on an incredible hot streak, winning the NFC South for four straight years. As they begin another season with a new offensive coordinator, I have more faith in that side of the ball keeping up their high level of play with QB Baker Mayfield and WR Mike Evans returning. However, the defense is somewhere that I think the Bucs could address some of their issues through the draft.

The NFL is rolling in the dough.
The expectation was that the NFL salary cap was going to rise again in 2025, but nobody had any idea how large the number would be. A memo sent to teams on Wednesday stated that the upcoming cap would fall “between $277.5M and $281.5M,” an increase of over $20M from 2024.
Naturally this will have massive ramifications on free agency and player extensions moving forward. It also falls $5-9M over the estimate from OverTheCap.com, an online resource of team cap figures.

Sean McDonough wants Americans to take the high road and not boo the Canadian National Anthem ahead of Thursday’s 4 Nations Face-Off Final.
During an appearance on WEEI on Tuesday, the ESPN announcer, who’s on the call for Thursday’s re-match between the United States and Canada in Boston, explained that Team USA fans should not boo “O Canada,” despite the “political things” going on.
Only a single All-Star Game in the past 25 years drew fewer viewers than this one.
Is booing an opposing country’s national anthem off limits when it comes to competitive sports?
That’s what many are debating after Canadian fans booed the Team USA hockey team during the Star Spangled Banner at this past weekend’s 4 Nations Tournament game in what would eventually lead to a brawl between both teams just a few minutes after the game began.
But did the Canadian fans go too far? Or did the booing and ridiculing actually have the reverse effect and embolden / hype up Team USA players? After all, the Americans did win 3-1.
