James Harden and the LA Clippers were the recipients of a lot of criticism after their 0-5 start that followed the big trade. Having turned things around since then, going 18-5 since their 0-5 start to the Harden era, the Clippers look every bit of the dominant team they expected to be. Speaking with reporters after Wednesday night’s win over the Phoenix Suns, Harden called out the critics from LA’s rough start following the trade, saying, “Obviously it didn’t start off well. It gave people so much to talk about in a negative way. And now those people that was…

The Los Angeles Rams are in the playoffs. That means their Week 18 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers does not have as much weight as it would if this were a “win and get in situation”. Sean McVay expresses that his team will take the type of approach that will allow them to rest certain guys, but he still expects an excellent week of preperation with the team’s focus being about getting ready for the wild card round. The five resting players I notice McVay name were Matthew Stafford, Cooper Kupp, Kyren Williams, Aaron Donald and Ernest Jones. Other…

The former New York Giants linebacker brought a championship pedigree with him as a Super Bowl XLII champion before…

McCarthy, not Tom Brady, as Michigan’s greatest quarterback in history after he helped lead the Wolverines to a thrilling comeback win over Alabama in the Rose Bowl. “I’ve said it before, but right here, this is the greatest quarterback in University of Michigan football, college football, history,” the Michigan coach told reporters after the win. “Got a long way to get where Tom Brady eventually got to, which is the GOAT. I mean, he’s has lapped the field when it comes to that. But in a college career, there’s been nobody at Michigan better than…
