Ebs’ NBA Trade Deadline Wishes
FROM THE PRESS BOX – Folks, we are in the midst of one of the most exciting days in sports. It’s NBA Trade Deadline Day. And we already saw a handful of trades take place Wednesday night. But of course, none included Anthony Davis. And honestly, I don’t think we’ll see Davis go anywhere Thursday […]
Ebs’ Hot Takes: Super Bowl LIII, Anthony Davis, Golden State Warriors
FROM THE PRESS BOX – On a day with frigid temps throughout the northeast and midwest, what better way to spend part of your afternoon than by reading the latest set of Ebs’ Hot Takes. There’s a lot to discuss. The Super Bowl is just a few days away. The NBA is stealing headlines with […]
Ebs’ Hot Takes: Los Angeles Lakers, Manny Machado, New England Patriots
FROM THE PRESS BOX – Working as a sports reporter, my schedule often starts at night. Which means I often get to watch a lot of ESPN programming.

Ebs’ Hot Takes: NBA Dunk Contest, New York Yankees, DeMarcus Cousins
CLIFTON PARK, NY – Ideally I would have liked to have written an entire column on the NBA’s All-Star Weekend, but, to be honest, I didn’t see much of it. And it’s not that I didn’t want to watch it, I was just doing other things. At the very least, I will add a few […]

VATICAN CITY – No, we’re not standing outside waiting for the we’ve-got-a-new-Pope-smoke to billow from the chimney; Pope Francis is just fine. Instead, we’re waiting for Easter to finally get here so we can get back to the business of lying, cursing (A pox on your house!), boozing and… eating Meat on Fridays! See the […]
Saturday Roundup
Here There and Everywhere- Let’s take a tour of the sporting world, shall we? The Summer Olympics are nearly upon us, but I haven’t paid attention in many a quadrennial. Most of it bores me to tears. I really don’t care which wealthy nation wins the most gold medals or who who can throw a discus […]
Illegal Hits:
Lori Levine knows sports like nobody’s biz… And Howard Stern voted her his Hottest Fan. NEW YORK, NY – If you watched the Men’s NCAA Tournament Final on Monday night, you would have seen a couple of things: Number 1, the Number 1 seed won. And Number 2, betting on Kentucky to win for Monday […]
Overrated Kevin Durant, Warriors vs Cavs, Harvey Not Mets Worry
JACKSON, MS—He stands at least 7 feet tall. He can shoot it from behind the arc better than anyone that size who’s ever played in the NBA. He’s smooth, can handle the ball, and take over games when his shot is falling. He’s also among the most overrated players I’ve seen in nearly 40 years of […]
