A special Memorial Day and Indy 500 edition of SSM is now live.
Eastern Conference Finals, what is going on? Jimmy Butler and the Heat were all but good and gone Lost the first three, won the rest, the series is tied Whoever wins game seven, been a real fun ride
The rare football transaction, in the month of May DeAndre Hopkins and the Cardinals will be parting ways Three years in the desert, still some catches in those hands Will be very interesting to see where he lands
As mentioned above, the Indy 500 was today Josef Newgarden is the champ, will take home the pay The 32 year old from Nashville is kissing the bricks If he wins it five more times, his total would be six
Big day in entertainment, as a ground breaking change in the streaming world commenced.
HBO Max is now Max…deal with it losers.
The old app is out, the new app is in. That’s right, we all have to download a completely new app, remember our passwords, and do the annoying thing where we have to type on the screen and it takes an hour to enter “Password123.”
As annoying as corporations taking over entertainment is, it’s unfortunately part of the game…there’s an entire writer’s strike raging right now because of this tom-foolery. There’s 1,000 things that happened that lead to this that you can read up on/we won’t rehash here, but the HBO Max to Max transition is just another atrocious incident we as customers have to deal with.
But this name change, as dumb and uncreative it is, got the wheels turning. What other names in sports and entertainment can CEO’s simultaneously shorten and ruin?
In the NFL, how about a name change for Michael Vick’s former employers to the Atlanta Cons? Could the new Monsters of the Midway could be the new Chicago Ears? What about Kirk Cousins becoming the quarterback for the Minnesota Kings?
The NBA is wrought for awful name changes as well. Ja Morant’s team could take on the role of the most untruthful team in the league with a rebranding to the Memphis Lies. Jimmy Butler and the boys could become food critics as the Miami Eat. Former number one pick Zion Williamson’s guys should take on the personality of most positive team as the New Orleans Cans.
If people hate the MLB’s new rules, they’d surely love these team name changes; Miguel Cabrera’s squad could keep the same idea of their mascot, but make an alteration to the Detroit Gers. The worst team in baseball that isn’t from Oakland could move south and become the Kansas City Yals. Finally, and most obviously, that cheater Carlos Correa and co. should really lose one letter and rename themselves the Minnesota Wins.
Honestly, we shouldn’t be publishing the blog. These ideas are so golden and should be used; but for some reason the NFL, NBA, and MLB won’t meet with us…their loss.
This Mother’s Day, SSM stands for Sweet, Sweet Moms.
Conference Finals set, NBA winding down Still a bunch of good games left, so we should not frown Lakers and the Nuggets, Celtics and the Heat Next round is the finals, East and West champs set to meet
Weird story in St. Louis, involves their big offseason signing Moving around positions ’cause the team’s not really shining Willson Contreras back and forth from the outfield Cards have not been good so far, reasons seem concealed
This guy Ja Morant, can’t wrap my brain around it Waving a gun around again, second wave of clown shit So much for that interview, said he would be better In dangerous Insta stories, this guy is the pacesetter
NBA Playoffs are raging, NFL court cases are blazing, MLB players are healing. All this and more in this week’s Sunday State of Mind.
Every series, NBA, looking pretty even All eight teams remaining still have something to believe in No 3-0 series leads, every team is on the board The Larry O’Brien Trophy is what were looking toward
Bussin’ With The Boys? More like bringing law suit noise Taylor Lewan is suing cause he’s no longer employed Feel bad for the guy, his career may be cooked Sounds like Dr. Andrews didn’t take a second look
Speaking of injuries, other side of the stick Bryce Harper is back in a period quicker than quick Less than six months post op, the big one Tommy John Already mashin’ taters, hitting bombs just like a Don
An awkward time is over out in Baltimore Lamar Jackson wanted his contract, and he finally scored Two hundred sixty million, is what was settled on Lamar returning now is a conclusion that’s foregone
The Memphis Grizzlies just announced that Dillon “The Villain” Brooks will not return to the team “under any circumstances.”
I mean…my God, dramatic much?
Unless you don’t watch the NBA or live on Mars, Brooks certainly had himself an April. After unconscionably shitting on LeBron James, subsequently getting shit on by LeBron in comedically quick fashion, and choosing the route of being a glass house coward and not facing the media, Brooks is out of a job.
It’s hard to remember an organization being so overt in announcing their roster decisions. We as a society of sports fans need to be better at holding our teams accountable.
With that in mind, can we really believe the Memphis Grizzlies wouldn’t bring back Brooks back under ANY circumstance?
If they really needed a big body who knew their system, and the free agency pool and trade market wasn’t flush with opportunities, you’re telling me the Grizz wouldn’t sign him? Hmmm…
What if NBA commissioner Adam Silver made a rule that every team needed a 6’6 Canadian who went to the University of Oregon on their roster? You’re telling me that’s a community flush with NBA talent that the Grizzlies could just pick one of the litter? I don’t know…
It feels like the world’s been on the brink of ending for the last five years or so, right? What if the entire universe crumbled, and all that was left was Memphis, Tennessee? They’ve got to fill that roster somehow, right? Sounds like Brooks would still be available to re-sign in that circumstance.
All I’m saying is…never say never. Dillon Brooks has spent his entire career with the Grizzlies up to this point. To not give this man a proper sendoff and publicly squashing any chance of a reunion just seems mean…also not 100% true.
The week has ended, the sports have sports’d. Sunday State of Mind is here to recap.
The champs are still alive, won another game seven Steph and Klay both continue to be a gift from heaven The Kings were fun all year, a young and good fun team This won’t be the only year that they will light the beam
Some major big man pains, showing in round two Joel Embiid, Julius Randle both have bad boo boos Neither one will play in either of their game ones When they both come back, will help their teams a ton
All the picks are in, the NFL has drafted A slew of brand new rookies, rosters been recrafted Only a few surprises, always some feel good stories Will your team’s boom or bust? The two big categories
Hard to comprehend, a team with that much skill A double digit losing streak, major fire drill Something needs to change, think outside the box A terrible beginning of the year for the White Sox
Unlike Ben Simmons…we’re not sitting this round out. SSM is live.
Bring out the brooms in Philly, Sixers roll the Nets Beat Brooklyn on Friday to win the series in straight sets Injuries and suspensions became the big headline A first round series sweep is the perfect design
The hottest team in baseball, you will never guess It’s usually a team who by this time’s always a mess A team who’s name is usually followed by the word “sucks” It’s the Pittsburgh Pirates, seven game win streak for the Bucs
We shouldn’t give it more attention than it really deserves But all we have to say about Dillon Brooks is, THE NERVE Tried to come at LeBron, was thoroughly embarrassed A poorly failed attempt to gain some ground on The King’s terrace
Unlike Netflix, we’ll never ghost you on Sundays. SSM is live.
We’re past the play in tournament, the real playoffs are here The NBA is trying now, and to that we cheer Sixers came out strong, Lakers and Heat too Brooklyn and the Cavaliers have some work to do
The bad man’s gone in DC, Commanders fans rejoice Dan Snyder has sold the team and it was not his choice Twenty four years of shit, team’s a total mess Anyone could do it better, and we’ll be impressed
We all shared a dream, and we were on the way An undefeated baseball season from the Tampa Rays A cloud rolled in on Friday, a loss was in the air The Blue Jays won an crushed us all, unable to bear
On Tuesday night, TNT’s Inside the NBA, the best pregame show in sports, hosted a retired police officer for a segment. In the lead up to the Hawks vs. Heat game, the always outspoken Charles Barkley let his mouth write a check his round mound might not be able to cash:
Not a whole lot of information about the recipient of the Chuck’s billion, but it appears he had career stops in Orlando, Los Angeles, Miami, Phoenix, Cleveland, and Boston. He seemed to have been pretty good at his job; a very overpowering force who had acquired a slew of fun nicknames during his service time.
You always love to see when someone who has made so much money in his career be so willing to give back. Another reason we all love Charles. What a kind, kind gesture to be so free with his hard earned income.
It’s Easter Sunday, John Rahm is the Masters champion, and SSM is here.
We start at Augusta, they did it again Jon Rahm is the champion, a green jacket win Took over in the final round, took it away from Brooks Lost it in the end, and Rahm gave him the hook
Hottest start in baseball, your Tampa Bay Rays Won their first nine game and did it in so many ways Best start to a baseball season since 2003 Rays sitting at 9-0, start drinking the tea
The NBA is winding down, almost playoff time Play will start to ratchet up, they’ll actually try Milwaukee and Denver will be your one seeds Regular season sucks, postseason’s what we need
We love college hockey, we say it all the time No mention of Quinnipiac, it would be a crime NCAA champions, won in overtime Beat the Golden Gophers, has to feel sublime
