No meaningful sports are on television tonight, unless of course the Tour De France means something to you, then kindly make your way to Versus and keep to yourself. The 18th Annual ESPY Awards are on tonight, that’s kinda worth watching I suppose. Oh? Seth Meyers from the incredibly mediocre Saturday Night Live is hosting? [...]

If you’re a Philadelphia 76ers fan, you gotta love this tweet by 2nd overall pick, Evan Turner. While it’s nice to see the kid speaking highly of the city from which I hail, he’s gotta know that nobody gives a shit about summer league basketball, right? This is just a case of the kid trying [...]
