Life finds a way… to get in the way. We almost forgot to post our World Series predictions this year. Or maybe we were protesting until Brandon Taubman was fired. Either way, we look smart, because after that Astros gaffe – the awful handling of it on top of the absurd outburst of the assistant …

Golden State is back for Part 5. LeBron is not. If you thought the Lakers were relevant because of all of the sports shows they’ve dominated this week, you’re watching the wrong channel.

47 out of 71 expert picks we found like the Los Angeles Dodgers over the Houston Astros in the 2017 World Series. No matter who wins, it’s going to end another drought. Sure, it’s not 108 years like the Chicago Cubs last year, but waiting since 1988 or forever (okay, 1962) is still a long time. …

The year hasn’t been kind to NHL coverage in the U.S. ESPN gutted its hockey team (down to six expert predictions after 10 picked last year) and CBS Sports knocked the NHL off of its front page menu and barely has a page at all anymore. But the sport endures. And the playoffs are still …
