Stomping Ground Sports

All-Star games in professional sports have really lost their fastball. The NFL has moved away from the Pro Bowl game itself altogether because of how unserious it was. The highlights of NBA All-Star weekend usually are the 3-point and Dunk contests. Yesterday, Adam Silver made an announcement that could change this for the better. On February 15th, there will be a new format of the All-Star game. The league has been tinkering with this for almost a decade now. After moving aw

Friday 15 Time…  🏈 Let’s start with Thursday Night Football from last night. I always try to keep it real with you all. Been a little ill these last 48. Right around kickoff, I shut my eyes for a few. No joke I woke up with a minute left in the fourth and saw that the score was 10-7. I think it’s safe to say I missed an absolute SNOOZER! Broncos move to 8-2! 🟠  Do you know who the best team is in the East right now? The CHICAGO BULLS 🔴! At 6-1, these guys are firing on all

The NBA offseason is weird! It really feels like not too long ago the Thunder won in Game 7 against the Pacers, and now here we are starting a brand new season! Yesterday the NBA season kicked off in OKC with the Thunder hosting the Houston Rockets. Honestly I could spend this entire section today talking about how the NBA is back on NBC! It’s going to be a new-look everything this season. Mike Tirico on the call. The scoreboard on the bottom. The halftime crew having Melo an

This was the first Game Seven in the NBA Finals since 2016 (the forever cemented 3-1 comeback by LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavs). That was our last benchmark. Against all odds, like they have done all year, the Indiana Pacers fought. The early headline was heartbreaking, as Tyrese Haliburton (who started out ON FIRE!!!! With 9 points off three deep threes) li

The Oklahoman Under normal circumstances, the Indiana Pacers would be thrilled to split two games on the road against a team of the Oklahoma City Thunder's caliber. But nothing about this series screams 'normal'. Let’s Recap: Game One of the 2025 NBA Finals ended just about as well for Tyrese Haliburton and the Indiana Pacers could have prayed for. The Oshkosh, Wisconsin native sunk yet another go-ahead winner (his fourth) of these playoffs to stun the Thunder on their home c
