Scoring is down and the games are ugly, but that isn't stopping the Sports Guy from handing out a few honors.

Who needs NBA analysts to break down the playoffs when you can call one of the best NFL guys around? That's right, I called up our old friend Mike Lombardi to talk about his beloved Sixers, NBA coaching vs. NFL coaching, and the philosophies behind b...

Today marks the launch of the next phase of the award-winning sports documentary franchise.

Just so you know, last night was like basketball nirvana for me. First, the Sixers knocked off the no. 1 seed Bulls, giving my beloved Celtics the possibility of having home-court in Round 2. Then, the banged-up Celtics squeezed out an emotional Game...

After Paul Pierce single-handedly won Game 2 of the Atlanta series, a friend of mine e-mailed, "Has there ever been anyone quite like Pierce?" The short answer: No. The long answer is a little more fun. Statistically, there's never been a wing...

We had an action-packed B.S. Report today: I called my buddy JackO (die-hard Yankees fan) to see who's more bummed out about their team right now, him or me. Then I called Grantland's Mark Titus (right around the 30-minute mark) to discuss the feedba...

The Sports Guy ranks the 20 most fortunate breaks an NBA champion ever received.

The Sports Guy's most interesting storylines of the postseason.

At some point later today, we'll be posting my NBA playoff preview column. Why? I don't know. It's not like I have any credibility left. During a podcast with Red Hot Chili Peppers bassist Flea (a die-hard Lakers fan), we were arguing about the Laker...

Tonight is a perfect storm of sports. There are two Game 7s in the NHL playoffs, eight NBA teams playing for better seeding on the final night of the regular season, and the NFL draft begins. Thus, there could not be a better night for Grantland Live...

At some point last night, I tweeted that sudden death of Game 7 in hockey was like chain-smoking cigarettes while doing cocaine bumps and sitting on the Lethal Weapon 2 toilet. I have only done one of those three things. I was just guessing. But play...

90210, "Be Be Be My Love" Bill Simmons: Lisanti asked me to pick the greatest moment in 90210 history, which, of course, would double as the greatest moment in Fox history since the original 90210 was the greatest television show of all time. Wit...
