Dallas better damn well win the NBA title this year and next, or this goes down as an all-time awful deal! How do you trade away a 25 year old player who's already, arguably, one of the three best players in the league, for Anthony Davis? Don't get me wrong, Anthony's great, and he'll help them...

Thought I'd have a local paper (but not the Times, whom I'm boycotting) to report on the deal. Thus the Orange County Register. Lakers Trade for Luca Doncic

The Luca Doncic trade is so nuts, I think it deserves its own thread. What in the world?

Good win for Chelsea today in coming back vs West Ham but you can see their vulnerabilites on full display. The kid goalie Jorgensen did OK but that back four is a mess. Fortunately for them, Cole Palmer can have a so-so to below average match, then pop up with the match winner (?) when his club...

Suprised United didn't add anyone, particuarly since they think so little of their strikers, they had them both on the bench yesterday. Arsenal didn't get a striker, either, though I'm not sure the need is immediately great for them. And my Reds biggest deal was loaning one youngster to Spanish...

Nico Gonzalez to Man City from Porto. Will probably take time for him to find his feet in the Prem. BIG step up. Ben Chilwell is on loan to Palace, who knocked back Spurs' efforts to pry Marc Guehi away Everton apparently agreed to a deal with Flamengo for 22 YO mid Carlos Alcaraz. Brighton has...

One phone call, a personal conversation between Ange and the player gets him over the line. Fantastic bit of business, that. Well done to Ange.

On November 22nd, I said We now have four first round picks in the next three years, 15 picks in the first three rounds in that same time period, and 29 overall in that time! Dubas better freaking well hit several homers with all this draft capital.

Well, the big deal I was expecting to go down finally went down: defenseman Marcus Pettersson (with Drew O' Connor) were traded to the Vancouver Canucks for Danton Heinen (welcome back), Vincent Desharnais, Melvin Fernstrom's rights and the #1 pick the 'Nucks acquired earlier Friday in the J.T...

The full fixture list

Despite the Sunday featured match of Arsenal hosting Manchester City, the biggest match of the weekend is Liverpool travelling to the Vitality to play the red hot Cherries. Why, you ask?

Apart from Corbin Burnes trading Baltimore for Arizona, it seems the biggest offseason moves not already mentioned have all been the Dodgers. To recap 1. Signed the top Japanese pitcher Roki Sasaki 2. Signed Blake Snell, hoping he can rebound fully to become a Cy Young level pitcher again 3...

NBA season heating up as the ASG approaches in a couple of weeks, the trade deadline in about a week. My Cavs and Oklahoma City have been the class of the NBA this season (though both have endured some recent bumps). Boston, though, is still most likely the class of the East, and don't look now...

Hectic times (including the fires here near my hometown of Pasadena) and we're already done with everything but the Super Bowl. Great collapse by my Steelers: from 10-3 to 10-7, routed in every single game. Then routed in the wild card round matchup with the Ravens. But the Steelers want to run...

I missed it last night as we were celebrating (as a family) my eldest daughter's 40th birthday. But I had a number of folks who excitedly pointed out to me about the Nirvana reunion as Dave, Krist and Pat had four different women front a song each from their catalog. 1) Annie Clark (aka St...

Europa was fun yesterday. Watched as team rose up and down the final table, but focused mostly on two matches: United vs FCSB and Roma vs Eintracht. Surprised that Roma had such a comfortable win. So did United, as it turned out. So here's their draw

Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't include this Jack White banger, "It's Rough on Rats (If You're Asking)" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xT4u1j8qDYk

And it's nice to hear Lucy Dacus with new music as well. This is the latest, called "Ankles" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcW_-uxy6dQ

And this song, "Sugar in the Tank", features Julien Baker with TORRES. Take a listen https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V4kYwPXrD0o
