Fantasy hoops: Antetokounmpo vs. Towns
Every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, we pose a question to a panel of ESPN fantasy basketball experts to gauge their thoughts on a hot topic. Today’s contributors are ESPN Fantasy’s Joe Kaiser, Jim McCormick and Kyle Soppe. Giannis Antetokounmpo (No. 7) and Karl-Anthony Towns (No. 8) sit right next to each other on the Player […]
Do we have the 2018 bracket yet?
In more exacting terms, the Skills Challenge is essentially an obstacle course in the vein of American Ninja Warrior, except that instead of feats of strength and balance, the competitors are tested on their ability to perform basketball skills. These skills include pinpoint chest and bounce passes, jump shots, slalom-style dribbling, and layups. How closed-minded […]
Union head Tony Clark noted the sides technically did not reach a deal.
I am pleased that we were able to reach an understanding with the players association, commissioner Rob Manfred said in a statement.

No matter what happens at QB, the defense must play far better than it did in Philadelphia. There’s […]
Expect Garoppolo’s fantasy numbers to rise to meet his grading in Week 14.
Jimmy Garoppolo, San Francisco 49ers: It’s easy to get sucked into the fantasy box scores, especially when, you know, that’s what we do here. And from the fantasy box score, Garoppolo was something of a disappointment in his debut as a starter, tying Blaine Gabbert as the No. 25 fantasy quarterback of Week 13. But […]
You know you’ve entered a temple when disagreement is treated as sacrilege.
The animosity directed toward NFL players kneeling at the anthem, protesting police brutality and structural racism, is the sort of acrimony we reserve for infidels. Many professedly “religious” believers will be among those most incensed by resistance to this secular liturgy — a sign that even believers in God are not immune to being captivated […]
