Move over Hollywood award shows: The highlight of men’s fashion this year was the NFL red carpet Thursday night. Las Vegas had no shortage of bright-colored suits, fresh kicks, and oh so much bling. With no real fashion crimes to speak of, the only peccadillos were athletes playing it safe at an event that is now known almost as much for the surprise suit linings as it has for the hope these bright-eyed athletes will bring to their teams. Still, in fashion, like in the NFL itself, there are winners and then everyone else. Here are some of our favorites and those we liked less The winner? Color…

Of course, we have some of the most spectacular offensive players in the game today including Giannis Antetokounmpo, Kevin Durant, and Stephen Curry playing at MVP levels. For the best scorers, winning scoring titles and averaging a high number of points per game comes naturally to them because of how effortlessly they get buckets. But we have seen a shift over the past decade where point guards are of…

By Eddie Bitar View the original article to see embedded media. NBA players are judged not on a single performance, but on their consistency throughout the season. Of course, that includes both the regular season and the playoffs because both set a player and his team up for success. Looking throughout NBA history, the most consistent players are often regarded as the best in the world at their positions. That is why it is imperative for NBA players to work on their games until they can get to a stage where things happen like poetry in motion. When a player is not thinking and just acting, con…

By Bryan Fischer Here’s a breakdown of the best and worst pick every team made in the 2022 NFL Draft along with an overall grade for each team’s haul. All 262 picks have been made and the 2022 NFL Draft is officially in the books for all 32 franchises. Ask any executive or coach around the league at this point, they’ll be sure to tell you they found that missing piece to get them over the hump to the Super Bowl or that they are thrilled with the group they got. Maybe both. Related: Grading the 2022 NFL Draft First-Round Picks While it’s too soon to say exactly how every draft pick will pan out…

There is no secret that the Lakers want to move on from Russell Westbrook, and the team emerging as the likely landing spot for the former MVP is none other than the Charlotte Hornets. Michael Jordan’s team is interested in the services of Westbrook, and that could be very good news for Lakers fans and the Lakers organization. After a season filled with frustration and poor play, moving on from Westbrook would be the right step in the right direction. There might be some other teams that might want to take Westbrook on their books…

TORONTO — The rebound off his own miss inside gave Pascal Siakam a triple-double. And his finish through contact sealed the a critical Raptors late-season victory over a 76ers team they may see again next week in the first round of the NBA playoffs. Siakam’s 37 points, 12 rebounds, and 12 assists lifted the Raptors to a 119-114 victory Thursday night at Scotiabank Arena. It was an entertaining game between two teams who are now even more likely to meet in the postseason. Neither team was at full strength, however. Raptors All-Star point guard Fred VanVleet and starting wing OG Anunoby did not …

CALGARY, Alberta — All the ingredients were present for another disaster. The completion of a Western road trip. Three games in four days. And the second game of a back-to-back in Calgary. Just like the last time the St. Louis Blues visited the C of Red, aka the Scotiabank Saddledome. You might recall how that one ended. The Blues went up in, well, Flames, losing 7-1 in their most lopsided defeat of the season. Jordan Binnington was pulled after two periods, allowing all seven goals. The Blues were outshot 48-21, including 18-2 in the second period. There was no disaster this time. Oh, the sho…

By Kirk Miller Hibiscus is having a moment. Late last December, the New York Times forecast hibiscus as the “Flavor of the Year,” with writer Kim Severson noting the flowering plant “is adding its crimson hue and tart, earthy flavor to everything from cocktails and sodas to crudos and yogurt.” That said, hibiscus is not a single entity but a rather varied genus with a wide range of colors and sizes that grows around the world in multiple climates, from temperate to tropical. I first discovered the wonders of hibiscus in cocktails last year during a Zoom tasting, where a hibiscus-tea infused te…

Over 3 decades may have passed since the rivalry between the Detroit Pistons and Chicago Bulls mostly came to an end, but somehow, it continues to produce new moments that suggest that the hatchet isn’t buried. Isiah Thomas certainly hasn’t forgiven or forgotten whatever slights Michael Jordan has thrown his way, even though MJ seemingly loved Isiah as per John Salley, and he has once again promoted another insult towards the GOAT. Jordan often gets called out for being harsh and overly competitive with his teammates as well as…

By Avi Creditor The end of World Cup qualifying is nearly here, but the U.S., again, won’t be at full strength. How the squad is utilized—and individuals’ form—will make all the difference. View the original article to see embedded media. It was just a week ago that it seemed as if things on the injury front were clearing for the U.S. men’s national team. Well, a lot can change in a week, especially in the bubble-wrap-or-bust world of the USMNT. Sergiño Dest’s hamstring injury and Brenden Aaronson’s apparent knee injury are two late problems the U.S. has been forced to confront in the days lea…
