NHL life in 2021 — like regular life — was dominated by COVID-19.

NBA Analysis Network The 2021-22 NBA season has been a struggle for the Portland Trail Blazers. They had hoped that the decision to remove Terry Stotts as head coach and replace him with Chauncey Billups would help get the team over the hump, but that has not been the case. The team has taken a step backward in Billups’ first season, clouding the future of the franchise. Portland is currently 14-22, a half-game out of the final spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament. That is far from the expectations the team had coming into the season. Despite their struggles in…

Outside of some of the MLB umpires, Commissioner Rob Manfred is one of the most disliked people in baseball, and there is good reason for that. Fans believe he has mishandled his job and is terrible for baseball. Fans can’t point to anything he’s has done for the game since he took over for Alan “Bud” Selig, who manned the position for over seventeen years. Fans that don’t like him point out: Since he took over MLB and the players union, they have more strained relations. He once called the World Series trophy just a piece of metal. His handling…

DRINKS! South Africa have scored at a really good pace here. After losing Aiden Markram it looked as if the India bowlers would be able to put a lid over the run rate but Keegan Petersen have settled in really fast to support Dean Elgar in the middle. The hosts would hope the pair continues on their merry way till the remaining passage of play. India, on the flip side, know one wicket can change the trajectory of the game and will like to break this partnership which might hurt them a lot.
