"tough Love" A Sports Show.

Harden and the Rockets are in salary cap hell, and what they got obviously ain't getting it done. Good luck, Houston. And Telvin Smith says "football ain't everything", but isn't that convenient after football has just paid you millions? What do you think is take would be oh, and his choices would be, if hr didn't have millions in the bank?

A DQ at the Kentucky Derby? What a crazy afternoon. Also, Canelo beats Jacobs in a lackluster fight. Just give us a 3rd GGG/Canelo fer Christ's sake! And NBA Playoffs are heating up. Does Warriors/Rockets feel like 49ers/Cowboys of the early 90's??

NFL Draft Winners and Losers.. Oakland nailed it.. NE nailed it.. Giants sucked it.. Arizona?? Vikings?? Let's chat..

When you can't rely on your sheer physical dominance anymore, you have to adjust your game to stay on top, and that's exactly what Tiger did at The Masters. Also, it's not Virginia losing to a #16 seed, but the Tampa Bay Lightning losing to Columbus- after tying the record for most points in a season- has to fall somewhere close. And Terrance Crawford beat Amir Khan last night, but it was anything but spectacular. Oh, and the NFL Draft is this week. Let's chat.

What's better than Sunday at The Masters? Tiger in the final group, that's what. Also, if you missed the Lomachenko fight Friday night, go watch it- NOW! And call me tickled, but watching LeBron and three Lakers fail makes me smile.

Temporary has always been part of sports, and instant replay just take care of the way.

There have been some games in this year's March Madness that will go down is absolute classics, and will cement this Final Four is one of the best ever. The game between Purdue in Virginia is one of them. Also, LeBron shut it down for the season, and it looks as though he's finished dominating, he'll grab a couple key Acquisitions this offseason, and we'll be back challenging the Warriors and Rockets next year (as much as I hate it). And yesterday's match play proved that it doesn't matter the ranking, because any given round world's best can go down. Evidence in that Tiger Beat Rory, and then loses to somebody who's never won on the tour.

Half of the Sweet 16 is set, and defending champ Villanova and Kansas are already going home. Ja Morant showed why he may be the best player to enter the draft (sorry, Zion), and why Oregon will win it all. Also, if you didn't see "Showtime" Anthony Pettis' KO of Steven "Wonderboy" Thompson last night, you need to. NOW!

Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, AND OBJ all find new homes.. What a crazy off-season for the NFL..  The Vikings are f**king clueless.. I'll tell you why. Spence/Garcia disappoints.. Spence/Pacquiao next? Garcia/Lomachenko? The Players  And one of the best KO's in the UFC.. Masvidal shocks Till- IN LONDON!

Hopefully, Antonio Brown kicking and screaming, and acting like a bitch, didn't set a precedent for future players. The NBA is already run by the players, and in my opinion, that's not a good thing- for the fans. To me, it's not fun to see the same teams in it every year. Transgenders in sports. As usual, people can't think past their "Look at me, I'm progressive!" minds to see the long-term effets. I can. LSU b-ball coach, Will Wade, suspended for bribing a player. LSU fans react.. ALL COACHES DO IT!

Justin Thomas doesn't get enough credit. I realize the attention is all on Tiger- and for good reason- but what JT is doing is nothing short of masterful, or as we say in my friend-circles.. FUCKING RIDICULOUS! And speaking of Tiger, he barely made the cut, then explodes for 3 birdies and an eagle to start his 3rd round before darkness halted play. Today's gonna be fun

You're up 13-0 at home. The Rams couldn't hear AND their headsets weren't working (hmmm..). You failed to convert TD's and instead settled for FG's. Went up 20-10 in the 3rd. Got away with a BLATANT face-mask on Goff that would've led to a TD instead of a FG- which would've meant not even going to OT. You get the ball FIRST in OT, yet throw an interception, and you want to cry about a missed pass interference call? Right. Quit crying, Saints fans. You couldn't close the deal when you had the chance, so you pick out the one thing that supposedly would've changed everything. Here's my one question to you, if the situation was reversed, how would you be acting? And that's the problem with fans.. Also, Brady and the Patriots beat the Chiefs- in Arrowhead. I love all the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills fans who hate on the Patriots. That's the same thing as the Pacers, Knicks, and Pistons fans hating on the Bulls in the 90's. Can't beat em, may as well hate em. Djokovic wins a record-setting 7th Aussie Open over Nadal

Today's games will mark the two biggest age differences between starting quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, and that means absolutely nothing. The spreads on the games are both -3 for the home teams, and both over/under game totals are at 56. What I'm saying is it's a coin-flip. So whoever I pick on the show, put your mortgage on the opposite. For real though, can the Patriots run the ball effectively to keep Patrick Mahomes and that offnse off the field? Can the Chiefs defensive line get any pressure on Tom Brady when he does pass? If the Patriots can't run, can they keep up? Will the Chiefs even try to run? Will Andy Reid stick to the run if they're up at the end? As far as the Rams/Saints.. will Drew Brees ever lose a playoff game at home? Aside from the prolific offenses, I wonder if the injuries along the offensive line for the Saints will be an issue. Also, the loss of Kirkwood at WR may be a bigger issue than most think. The Rams are the best running team in football, so it will be paramount

The Colts rushed for over 200 yards last week in Houston, with Marlon Mack going loco, yet against the weak Chiefs rush D, they refused to rush the ball? Makes no sense. Marlon Mack finished with NINE carries. NINE! I'm too much of a fan to want to believe Vegas controls sports, but seriously, WHAT. THE. FUCK? Also, I feel like I say it every week, if you're on the road, never run (especially up the middle) on the first play of the game. The Colts did it yesterday, and the Chiefs were waiting on it- JUST LIKE EVERY HOME TEAM DOES! Colts lost 3 yards, and ended up going 3 and out (with a drop by Eric Ebron). Chiefs got up, and it felt like it was over before it started.  In the nightcap, the Rams dominated the lines on both sides of the ball, and that pretty much sums it up. I've said it ever since Dak Prescott got into the league, but you take away his running game, and Dak is average, at best. Ezekiel Elliott had 20 carries for 43 yards, and Dak couldn't do shit. Be careful, Jerry, don't give Dak that $100

Can we please pump the brakes on the Big 3 talk with the Cowboys?! Dak is nowhere close to that level, and even though Cooper is a nice player, he's not at that level either. I'll give the props to Ezekiel, he's on his way to the Hall. But when I think of a Big 3, I think of Pittsburgh. Three potential HOFers. Dallas isn't remotely close to that. Speaking of Pittsburgh.. what a shitshow. Antonio Brown is becoming Terrell Owens. As for the game yesterday, the Cowboys shut down Seattle's run. Granted, few teams have done that this year, but they did a good job, and props to them. If they go to Los Angeles next week, I give them a chance, if they go to New Orleans, no chance. Also, DeShaun Watson can't hit the broadside of a barn. I've said it a thousand times, and it's not a secret, accuracy is paramount for an NFL QB, and Watson needs to get better. With a average run game, he needs to win some games with his arm, and he can't do that right now. Houston's D underperformed, too. But the Colts are for real, so

I understand Daniel Cormier's position on Jon Jones and his steroid use, but damn I'd like to see a thrid fight, wouldn't you? At Heavyweight? Would LOVE to see it happen. Also, can we please never see Notre Dame in a big game again? Clemson walked The Irish, and we all knew it was going to happen. NCAA should make Notre Dame join the ACC in football (they a part of it in every other sport), or they can't participate in the College Football Playoff. Period. Alabama just seems too good to be playing other college teams. Nothing against Oklahoma, because they'd give it to most other programs, but Alabama is just that good. I will say this- and I said it when the CFP was announced- but Georgia was AT LEAST the 4th best team, and would've have fared much better than Notre Dame and Oklahoma.  NFL Week 17 (and I shed a tear). Damn, it goes fast. Playoff implications drip with intrigue in the afternoon games (thank you for the scheduling, NFL), as there'll be 7 games (8 with the night game) tahat will decide who
