Warriors Bob Fitzgerald Latest Victim of Cancel Culture

Bob Fitzgerald has been the lead broadcaster for the Golden State Warriors since 1997...and has called the entire career of Steph Curry. The Denver Nuggets defeated Steph Curry and the Warriors last night...but the outcome of the game isn't what disturbed social justice warriors on Twitter.

We share the clip of Bob Fitzgerald going after Nuggets guards Facuno Campazzo and Austin Rivers. We also reveal the reaction from SJW's on Twitter. We discuss how this is another overreaction from social media.

Specifically in the case of Austin Rivers...Bob Fitzgerald hurt SJW's by speaking truth. In the case of Campazzo...they went after Bob Fitzgerald because he didn't fit their narrative.

Jake Paul Boxing Career Crashes At PPV Box Office

Jake Paul had what he assumed was his highly anticipated rematch with Tyron Woodley two weeks ago. The first match between Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley drew nearly 500,000 buys on PPV. Did Jake Paul replicate the success of the first match?

NOT EVEN CLOSE. We reveal the buyrate from the Jake Paul and Tyron Woodley rematch. We discuss how the boxing career of Jake Paul could be on the verge of ending...at least from a mainstream perspective.

We show how Jake Paul is becoming desperate...with his incessant jabs at Dana White and the UFC. We believe he is angling towards a UFC career...because Jake Paul knows his drawing power in boxing is waning.

LeBron James TANKS Christmas NBA Ratings

Preliminary numbers have been released for Christmas Day NBA ratings. Adam Silver and the NBA decided to feature LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers in primetime...instead of Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. That decision by Adam Silver backfired.

We reveal the preliminary ratings for Nets/Lakers Christmas Day on ABC. We explain how once again...Adam Silver made the wrong decision promoting LeBron James over Steph Curry. 

We discuss how the media will ignore this story...and if they do mention it...the media will make excuses for LeBron James and the NBA ratings.

Matt Rhule Experiment Should Be Over For Carolina Panthers

Matt Rhule has been the luckiest coach in the NFL this season. Due to the controversy surrounding Urban Meyer for most of the NFL season...Matt Rhule has been able to fly under the radar on the national level.

However...with Urban Meyer gone...the media spotlight is shifting to Matt Rhule. We explain why the Matt Rhule experiment should end for the Carolina Panthers. We outline several reasons why Matt Rhule has no answers to fix the Panthers issues...and explain why this is what happens when an NFL team hires a coach with no NFL experience.

Woke Media Overreacts to Aaron Rodgers & LeBron James

Aaron Rodgers and LeBron James were the focus of the mainstream media Christmas weekend. Both Aaron Rodgers was blasted for hugging Erin Andrews...while the media went after LeBron James for having a different an opinion than the agenda.

We also discuss Antonio Brown being targeted by the media. Deadspin once again contradicted themselves. We call out the contradiction...and explain why the media is focusing on Antonio Brown.

Colin Kaepernick Exposed As A Fraud

Colin Kaepernick is looked upon as the leader of the social justice movement in sports. Colin Kaepernick started the trend of kneeling during the national anthem...and he's supposedly committed to the cause.

This week...Colin Kaepernick was exposed as a fraud. We discuss an acquisition falling apart between Colin Kaepernick and The Change Company. We explain the reasoning behind the deal falling through...and show how Colin Kaepernick is to blame.

We reveal how this exposes Colin Kaepernick as a fraud in the social justice movement...and how the only thing Colin Kaepernick is concerned about is his own financial gain.

Swim Official Resigns Protesting Lia Thomas

Cynthia Millen has been a swimming official for over three decades. Cynthia Millen will no longer officiate swim meets...because she resigned due to Lia Thomas being allowed to compete against women.

We applaud Cynthia Millen for quitting...and explain how this could be the answer to stopping Lia Thomas. We criticize the administration at Penn as well as the NCAA...for refusing to put a stop to Lia Thomas.

We also blast the woke media for remaining silent regarding Lia Thomas. People like Cynthia Millen...with very little authority...are having to step into a leadership position because the actual leaders won't take a stand.

NBA Ratings Are A Problem Adam Silver & LeBron James Can’t Solve

NBA ratings continue to struggle throughout the 2021-22 season. NBA ratings have been in decline for several years...with record lows set in 2019 and 2020. The NBA ratings problem doesn't seem to be going away.

We compare NBA ratings last week to their competition. We show how the NBA was beat convincingly by the Jimmy Kimmel Bowl and the Independence Bowl. LeBron James and his one hundred million social media followers...couldn't crack two million viewers.

We explain how the media continuing to cover for declining NBA ratings doesn't help...and how both LeBron James and Adam Silver don't have a solution to the NBA ratings problem.

Real Victims of NFL NBA & NCAA COVI Protocols

The protocols in sports continue to be ridiculous. Games are being postponed...or canceled. Players like Taysom Hill and Cole Beasley are being forced to miss games...only because of the NFL and their protocols.

We compare the stance of Doug Gottlieb...to the stance of Bob Costas on this issue. Doug Gottlied recently called out Cole Beasley...and those who support him...for being selfish. While Bob Costas took a common-sense approach on this issue.

We explain who the real victims are with these protocols...and how Jimbo Fisher should be held accountable for Texas A&M opting out of their bowl game.

Rex Ryan Wrongly Blasted By Outkick

Rex Ryan commented on the firing of Urban Meyer Sunday morning on ESPN. Rex Ryan claimed Urban Meyer was never qualified to coach in the NFL...and that Urban Meyer didn't possess the work ethic needed to be successful.

Anthony Ferris at Outkick took exception to this assessment. He insinuated that Rex Ryan wasn't qualified to speak on Urban Meyer in this manner. We dispel the notion of Anthony Ferris that Rex Ryan isn't qualified to speak on coaching in the NFL.

We make the case that Rex Ryan is actually over-qualified...while respectfully disagreeing with Outkick and Anthony Ferris.
