When are John McCain and Barack Obama going to step up to the plate and demand legalization for the Super Bowl? Pansies, I tell you, each of them. The South African plan would only legalize prostitution for the length of the World Cup and then the laws would return to normal. Just like the marriages of so many philandering husbands. Per the BBC: It said while prostitution was illegal in South Africa, it could not ignore the fact that the sex industry thrives during major events like the World Cup. To address this, entertainment centres such as strip clubs and escort agencies would be located in special areas where they would be safe and easily accessible. There are five million HIV positive residents in South Africa. Honey, I'm home. SA prostitution plans condemned [BBC News]…
data-mm-id=”_bsgarilka”>With the New England Patriots' loss to the Tennessee Titans in the AFC Wild Card game, quarterback Tom Brady has been placed in a position he has never faced in his twenty-year NFL career. Brady is set to become an unrestricted free agent, opening up the possibility that he may finish his career outside of Foxboro.After the game, Brady all but eliminated the possibility of retirement, saying that it was "pretty unlikely." This leaves only the question of where he will play in 2020.1. Los Angeles ChargersBart Scott advocated for this himself on ESPN's Get Up. It makes perfect sense for both parties. After all, Tom Brady lives in Southern California during the off-season. It would also be beneficial for the struggling Chargers, who couldn'…
data-mm-id=”_vjqslfgdx”>Perhaps it's too soon to judge a quarterback after less than a full season as the starter. However, the Indianapolis Colts have already made up their mind on Jacoby Brissett, with whom they have lost four straight games and fallen out of the playoff hunt with two games remaining.Brissett was thrown into a difficult situation with the unexpected retirement of established Colts starter Andrew Luck in the preseason, but seemed to rise to the challenge at first as Indianapolis started 5-2. Since then, however, Brissett has thrown for 300 yards only once, and the Colts have slipped to 6-8. Technically, Luck is still under contract with the Colts, but there is no indication that the oft-injured quarterback will come out of retirement. With that in mind, here'…
data-mm-id=”_f5re39d4o”>ESPN.com does not feature a constantly-updating Suspension Probability chart for its talent, though if it did, Adrian Wojnarowski's would have jumped up violently as soon as he hit send on his two-word response to Missouri senator Josh Hawley. Woj is not often thought of as a cog in a corporate machine but when it comes down to brass tacks, that's what he is. A valuable and unique cog, to be sure, but part of something that's the sum of its parts and universally fitted with a pair of Mouse ears and profit-focused eyes. Bad-faith antagonists tend to elbow the ribs and chin a la Bill Laimbeer and aggravation is often the point. Snapping occasionally is human and feels damn good. But an employee just can't do that. Certainly not from a work acco…
data-mm-id=”_sj4qnxj2f”>When the NBA season resumes and the Los Angeles Lakers start playing playoff games, LeBron James will cross the 7,000 career postseason points milestone. He is already the leading scorer in postseason history with 6,911 points. LeBron didn't make his postseason debut until the spring of 2006, but he's still managed to score more postseason points than 10 franchises since he was drafted in 2004.

data-mm-id=”_1a6jlr2e1″>The 2020-21 NBA season will commence tonight as the Golden State Warriors take on the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers will begin their title defense against their crosstown rivals, the Los Angeles Clippers. It has been only 72 days since last season ended in Game 6 of the 2020 NBA Finals. As a sports blog, we are contractually obligated to boldly predict the future of this season and what might occur over the impending 72-game season. So here you go. A handful of daring, intrepid, and brave predictions for what will be a strange basketball season. James Harden Throws Soup on Stephen Silas James Harden desperately wants out of Houston. This is no secret. He refuses to answer questions about the situation in press conferences and earlier today it was repo…
data-mm-id=”_7dktal8w4″>The Los Angeles Clippers were ousted from the 2020 NBA Playoffs after blowing a 3-1 lead to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference Semifinals. Immediately after they completed their collapse, Paul George spoke to the team in the locker room and urged them to remain committed. Here is what he said, via The Athletic: ““We can only get better the longer we stay together and the more we’re around each other,” George said after the game. “I think that’s really the tale of the tape of this season. We just didn’t have enough time together.””Now that is funny. Consider Paul George's history. He spent six seasons in Indiana. After some early success, he spent his final few years with the Pacers plotting his way out of Indiana to play with the Los…
data-mm-id=”_8jhlv5oxl”>The Dallas Cowboys season hit a fresh low this past Sunday when they were taken to task by the Washington Football Team with a division lead on the line. Andy Dalton was forced to exit after suffering a concussion, leaving seventh-round rookie Ben DiNucci to take the reigns. That went as expected, but as has been the case all season, everybody on the Cowboys' roster underperformed en route to another loss. That last part is a matter of great concern if you're Jerry Jones. It's hard to expect your team to succeed after losing a starting quarterback as this squad did with Dak Prescott, much less when his backup goes down and the offense is led by a third-string rookie. But the Jones family has invested quite a bit of money in guys like Ezekiel Ellio…
data-mm-id=”_v1yeolrqa”>Gardner Minshew's luscious locks and memorable mustache are reportedly on the trade block. Guess there's just no room for two well-groomed quarterbacks in Jacksonville with Trevor Lawrence headed to town. So the Jaguars signed former 49ers backup C.J. Beathard today to presumably be Lawrence's anonymous backup, thus making Minshew expendable. There will be no shortage of suitors for Minshew and the 49ers are apparently feeling the mania. According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the 49ers have been on the hunt for another quarterback all offseason and, after missing out on Andy Dalton and Mitch Trubisky and Joe Flacco (imagine being turned down by that trio), there are rumors that the 49ers are interested in Minshew. It's a good call too becaus…
data-mm-id=”_2kc8cescb”>Early returns on the Dallas Mavericks' decision to go out and get Kyrie Irving have not been overwhelmingly positive. Last night the mercurial guard had an opportunitity to be a hero against the Indiana Pacers but his attempted game-winner bounced harmlessly off the rim. The Mavs have now lost four of the five times Irving has suited up and shared the court with Luka Doncic. Which, obviously, is not going to get it done and perhaps portends some future friction because Irving has been known to, let's say, need a little extra love and care in the past. So that's the bad news. The good news for Mark Cuban – and every other Dallas fan optimistic enough to think a mid-season addition of Kyrie could ever work – is that there were expansive comments fro…
