Harden-Westbrook Reunion, Angels No-Hitter, USWNT Fair Pay
EL BARRIO, EL FALLS – I took a break from the sports pages this week because it was the deadest week in American Sports. All the sports are in their off-season except baseball, which is the All-Star break. Although soccer is trying to make it the 5 major sports in America, it is not there […]
Kawhi Leonard Picking Clippers Changes NBA Landscape
SPANISH HARLEM – Last Friday was uneventful for me. I was dead tired from hanging out all night on the 4th of July and just slept all day. Looking back, it was actually great now that I think about it. I took a midday nap and woke up again at 9 pm, I stayed awake, […]
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. Wednesday brought The Jump, which might be one of ESPN’s best shows. Each episode opens with a monologue from host Rachel Nichols. Wednesday’s monologue centered around LeBron […]
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 […]
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 […]
Carmelo Anthony is a PIG; A Tale of Two Dolans
SEARCHLIGHT, NV—You know how difficult it is to find wholesome, feel good stories when it comes to the athletes we so admire today? I do. This is why, as the Upton Sinclair of MeetTheMatts, I am compelled to go into sports’ slaughterhouses and expose the heinous acts committed against humanity. Phil Jackson was hanging from a giant […]
No Meat Fridays and Skinniest Sports Stars
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 […]
Big Ben Tuesday: Five Bold-ish Predictions for the Rest of the Year – Yankees, Rangers, Giants, Pelicans, Blues
Prescient City, USA: A few weeks ago I predicted the NY Rangers trade for Jacob Trouba would prevent them from signing a big free agent like Artermi Panarin because of salary cap ramifications. Yeah, just a bit outside with that one. But I’m not one to waddle in misery, so let’s get off the mat […]
