The NBA All Star Game: A failed experiment

By Ben Lable | February 17

This past weekend, Los Angeles hosted the NBA’s annual All-Star weekend at the Intuit Dome in Inglewood. Sunday’s All-Star Game marked the league’s 75th edition of the event,but in recent years, the NBA has strayed from the traditional format fans once knew. While the league has made efforts to make the game — and the weekend as a whole — more entertaining, those changes may have pushed it further away from success, convoluting an event that was once very clear.

Super Bowl 60 Preview

By Ben Lable | February 2

On Sunday, the most anticipated sports event of the year will take place when the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots face off in Super Bowl 60. 11 years ago, it was Tom Brady and Russell Wilson battling for the Lombardi trophy — now it’s Drake Maye and Sam Darnold. The players are different, the coaches are different, but what remains is a rivalry that goes back to Super Bowl 49 and an unforgettable mistake that Seattle fans will certainly be hoping to get revenge for.

Even rocking your A24 Marty Supreme hats, the Big Apple doesn’t come close to the town I’m talking about. And, no, this isn’t about Los Angeles and the L.A. Dodgers’ billion-dollar payroll either.

Losing, a constant: The story of the saddest team in sports

By Ben Lable | November 10

There are a lot of dysfunctional, disastrous and downright depressing teams in the world of athletics. These are teams that always find themselves with high draft picks that become busts, miss the playoffs year after year and just as a wave of optimism appears, still seem to encounter the most unfortunate of events. The Colorado Rockies, Oakland Athletics, Charlotte Hornets and Cleveland Browns all sit among the pyramid of sports misery, but there is one unlucky team that lies above them all … the New York Jets.
