ETHAN BLUMENTHAL

So I watched the last minute of the Golden State/Miami game the other night and I watched as Steph Curry, in all of his greatness, hit two huge threes to put the Warriors ahead where they would stay. There is no doubting the sweetness of his stroke or the unparalleled magic of his handles, but without calling me a hater, I would like to point out one thing about those last two threes that brought the Warriors to a victory. While everyone had eyes on Curry, I was able to use

As every baseball fan knows, pitchers and catchers have reported, spring training has begun and don’t let the February cold and harsh winds fool you, baseball is in the air. It’s the time for fans to be positive, players to begin doing what they love and for journalists nationwide to make their bold predictions for the upcoming season. One such common prediction is about my oh so very dear Chicago Cubs. ESPN reporter David Schoenfield predicted the Cubs will win 100 games,

I watched the Butler/Villanova game last Saturday and while nothing especially exciting happened in that game, it did give me the content I needed to send out, what I was told by many, was my funniest snapchat of the year so far. Lets all for a moment assume my snapchat fans measure my snaps to the highest of standards based on my previous, impressive body of work. The announcers began talking about the tournament resume for the Butler Bulldogs and that is when the hilarity

It’s February 19th today but if you turned on the Minnesota-Maryland college basketball game last night, didn’t it feel a little bit like the middle of March? It did for me as I watched the Golden Gophers improve to 1-13 in their 68-63 upset win over the number six ranked Terrapins. Now before you go thinking you know how big of an upset this was based merely on the numbers I just gave you, don’t let the 1-13 record fool you, the Minnesota Golden Gophers, if possible, are wo

Before I go making fun of the NBA again, truly one of my favorite pastimes, I would like to note that I believe these players to be the very best athletes in the world and I have nothing but respect for their extreme abilities and their unparalleled work ethic. Now that the formalities are out of the way, let the bashing begin. I am a Chicago Bulls fan which is a terrible team to be a fan of these days. We have no one superstar player who is worthy of buying a ticket to see,

If you have a very limited number of friends or a high number of very busy ones and you didn’t have anything else to do last night, maybe you turned on the 2016 NBA All-Star game. I can’t blame you entirely for it, it was Kobe’s last year, it was still the best of the best doing what they do best and there’s something to be said for that. I didn’t watch the game so I can’t speak to just how silly and unamusing I assume it was. And I know what they say when you assume thing

Riddle me this one sports fans: I was watching the Superbowl last weekend, and I couldn’t help but notice that with 1:57 left in the game and the Panthers down by 14 points, they decided to punt the ball. Did you catch that? In the biggest game of their lives, the Panthers decided it would be better to start their vacation a few minutes early rather than make any attempt at winning the Superbowl. Now I know it was 4th and 24 at their own six yard line, but I don’t care if
