Here is how it looks:Breaking: Tampa Bay is the expected landing spot for Tom Brady barring any unforeseen circumstances, sources tell @AdamSchefter and @JeffDarlington. pic.twitter.com/v6RrOhXJiS— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) March 17, 2020Tom Brady is expected to land with the Buccaneers barring any unforeseen circumstances, per @AdamSchefter and @JeffDarlington. pic.twitter.com/N5JnWObhY7— ESPN (@espn) March 17, 2020(Not a bad-looking fit. Not a fan of the brown undershirt, however.)I, as much as anyone, enjoy seeing a player digitally portrayed in their new uniforms to he…

data-mm-id=”_fjhmizi3i”>The relationship between sports reporters and coaches isn't quite as intimate as it used to be. For instance, did you know former Yankees player and manager Billy Martin once beat up a journalist in the luxury box of a minor-league basketball game? Ah, the good ol' days. The year was 1978. The month, November. Martin, who had been relieved of his managing duties by George Steinbrenner halfway through the previous season, was being interviewed by Ray Hagar at halftime of a Reno Bighorns game against the Las Vegas Dealers of the Western Basketball Association. Initially, Martin said the 25-year-old sportswriter challenged him to a fight. Hagar denied it, saying the fight started because Martin wanted to see his notes and Hagar denied him. Regardless of w…

data-mm-id=”_9pox2uw62″>Bomani Jones went on The Will Cain Show on ESPN Radio and it was quite a ride. It's Cain's final week at ESPN and Jones called into his show and the two had a spirited back-and-forth that bordered on contentious, though it did remain mostly civil. First, a little background: earlier in the day, Cain went on First Take and discussed the fallout for NASCAR from the Bubba Wallace garage/"noose" incident. He argued that NASCAR and the media had motivations other than the truth and instead were advancing an agenda and a brand. He further discussed the backlash both Wallace and NASCAR could face from this: "I cannot give NASCAR any credit. I think NASCAR deserves a massive indictment."@willcain believes NASCAR and the media reacted too q…

data-mm-id=”_hnll9fsjr”>Late last night, Defector reported that the Houston Chronicle had parted ways with NFL reporter Aaron Wilson. Wilson went on The Greg Hill Show three weeks ago to talk about the Deshaun Watson sexual assault and harassment allegations. During his appearance, he denounced the civil suits filed as a "money grab" before comparing the situation to negotiating with terrorists (per Defector): At one point during the conversation, when talking about the Watson case, he said, “In his case, you know, it’s kind of you don’t negotiate with terrorists. People are demanding money, they’re asking for money. It kept escalating, it kept going up and up and up. You’re talking about more and more funds, I’m not going to say how much it got to, but my underst…

data-mm-id=”_6l1sklrm4″>Mookie Betts is a live wire, the most electric player in the World Series and perhaps in all of baseball. Just a few days ago, an exuberance blogger with access to the CMS posited that he replicates the experience of falling in love with the artistry of Willie Mays, Mickey Mantle or Joe DiMaggio for generations who missed out on that magic. It continues to be abjectly insane that the Boston Red Sox watched all he can do on a daily basis and passed on the opportunity to use him for the purpose of winning games. There's really no point in piling on now, though considering how Babe Ruth zingers are still flying they shouldn't hold their breath. But Sox brass can find company in the misery that comes with turning one's back on transcendent talent with…

data-mm-id=”_fk5hqy1do”>The New York Knicks have long had issues at the point guard position. It's a tough spot running point at Madison Square Garden, but there's a soon-to-be free agent who could thrive there and he's used to the microscope he'd be under. Lonzo Ball would be the perfect fit. While there is speculation that the Clippers would love to land Ball before the trade deadline, the Knicks are a far better fit long-term. There's a huge opening at the position and enough salary cap room to ink him to a decent-sized deal even if the Knicks can't swing a trade for him in the next week. Ball has improved a ton this year, but the New Orleans Pelicans have not. Stan Van Gundy's team is 17-24 and five games outside of a playoff spot in the Western C…
