Mikal Bridges’ busted jump shot is the NBA’s biggest mystery right now
The New York Knicks have championship expectations entering the 2024-2025 season after an incredibly bold summer that saw the team chase a pair of co-stars for MVP candidate Jalen Brunson. The Knicks’ recent trade for Karl-Anthony Towns has been dissected ad nauseam, but it was a deal they made earlier in the summer that was even more risky.

Jared Goff’s recent play has him finally living up to the hype.
It’s not at all uncommon for an NFL quarterback to go on a one-game heater and never do anything else of import. Mitch(ell) Trubisky of the Chicago Bears once threw five touchdown passes in a single half against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Craig Erickson of the Bucs once singed the Indianapolis Colts with a near-perfect performance.

2024 was a year that made it hard not to feel like we are losing some specific types of sports media forever.
As time hurdles forward and society has progressed according to what technological innovations allow, our lives have picked up pace, to unprecedented, breakneck speeds. We have all these conveniences we didn’t have 25 years ago, and counterintuitively, less time than we’ve ever had to enjoy them.

Dan Campbell had the perfect response to Chris Christie saying he has no class.
The former New Jersey Governor decided to go after Campbell after the Lions blasted the Cowboys to the tune of 47-9. The problem? Apparently, running up the score is classless!
“That’s Dan Campbell. He’s got no class. Never has. It’s fine. It’s fine. Look, Dan Campbell, that’s the way he is, and what goes around comes around,” Christie said following the blowout win.
Pretty strange beef for Christie to spark, but Campbell isn’t sweating it.

Collin Morikawa has done everything but won in 2024. He has a great chance to change that at this week’s ZOZO Championship.
At this point a year ago, Collin Morikawa arrived in Japan feeling rather gloomy. He had not won since his triumph at Royal St. George’s in 2021, where he became the Champion Golfer of the Year that summer. But in the eight majors between then and last year’s ZOZO Championship, he still managed to post three top 10s.

Matthew McConaughey wasn’t impressed by Texas fans trashing the field against Georgia.
Texas students rained trash down on the field after a horrific pass interference call negated a much-needed interception against the Bulldogs.
Bottles rained down from the student section, and the game had to be temporarily paused in order to clean everything up. To make the situation even weirder, the refs decided to pick up the flag and let Texas keep the ball.
It was one of the strangest situations we’ve seen unfold in college football in a long time.
