Let's start with this: Jack Edwards is an excellent play-by-play man. His passion for hockey is unmatched, and if you've ever listened to him call a game, it's obvious he knows his stuff. That being said, he is the biggest homer for the team he calls in all of professional sports.
Edwards is not alone. There are homers in every sport, on both radio and TV. One of the great homers ever is former Chicago White Sock and White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson, who produced some hilarious calls and catchphrases over the years. My New York Yankees have one of the all-time homers in history on the radio in John Sterling, who literally screams “THEEEEEE YANKEEESSSSSS….WIN!” after each Bronx Bombers victory. All the sports with local broadcasts, basketball, baseball and hockey, have homers left and right. But you cannot tell me anyone is worse than Edwards, as he displayed Tuesday night when the Bruins defeated the Carolina Hurricanes in OT:

2019 Arnold Palmer Invitational picks: There's no such thing as a sure thing in gambling—and especially in golf. But our caddie has a hunch this week

Mike StobeOne can only wonder what first compelled tennis star and part-time swimsuit model Genie Bouchard to agree over Twitter to a date with a complete stranger a couple of years ago. Perhaps Bouchard was bored, or romantically adrift, or some combination of the two.
Or perhaps, in the deep recesses of her mind, Bouchard thought this one day might make for a great rom-com.
OK, probably not (please tell us not), but what we do know is that the story of Bouchard’s dalliance with random Twitter guy John Goehrke, who she dated after losing a Super Bowl bet in 2017, has been green-lit as a project by Fox 2000, according to Deadline Hollywood. Think of it as a cross between Notting Hill and . . . actually, we can’t think of any worthwhile tennis movies, but you get the idea. According to Deadline, “The film version centers on dating and love in the modern digital age, asking if a relationship born on social media can survive the glare of the public eye.”
The real life answer based on the ..

Column: Players should spend more time following new rules than complaining about them

I remember it like it was yesterday. My uncle used to work for Paramount Pictures, and he would get all the movies Paramount distributed WELL in advance of the movies actually hitting theaters. We're talking videotapes kids… the GOAT. He would get them by the box load and send them to his nieces and nephews, and we all thought it was the coolest thing ever, watching them 20 times and telling our friends who were going to see them in theaters two months later “been there, done that.”
Perhaps our favorite of all these advance copies was none other than “School of Rock,” Jack Black's finest hour. Saying we watched “School of Rock” 100 times would be putting it lightly. We'd watch, rewind (yes, REWIND) and watch again. Every scene was better than the last. It was a virtuoso performance from Black, and how could I forget Joan Cusack absolutely nailing the uptight private school principal. It was also Miranda Cosgrove's coming out party. The dude that was in the ORIGINA..

Jam MediaJose Canseco is the Kanye of baseball Twitter—always entertaining, occasionally terrifying, and prone to manic, obsessive fits following days, and even weeks, of dormancy. After a recent failure to get Kramerica, er, Canseco Industries off the ground (including Bigfoot tours, alien excursions, and, yes, even golf) via the little blue bird, this week the former As slugger set his sights on a new pet project: Tim Tebow.
It all began innocently enough, with Canseco reaching out to Tebow following the most famous Met's first two hits of Spring Training on Monday, offering backhanded compliments and swing pointers aplenty.

But when Tebow didn't respond—perhaps because he never tagged him, but just spitballing here—Canseco plunged headlong into multi-day, multi-tweet vortex, hoping to neg Tebow so thoroughly and viciously that he wo..

David DowForget what their record says, we all know the Golden State Warriors are still the NBA's best team. The winners of three of the past four NBA championships, including the past two, are plodding their way through the ridiculously long regular season before they turn it on for the even more ridiculously long postseason. As sure as Game of Thrones returns in April, Golden State will be crowned in June for a third consecutive year.

OK, so it's not a total lock, but according to Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, the Warriors, despite all their internal strife and struggles this season (by the way, they still have the best record in the Western Conference at 44-19) are HEAVY 2-to-5 (meaning you'd have to risk $500 to win $200) favorites to win the title. However, if you've been betting on them in single games against the spread this season—especially of late—you have been getting absolutely crushed. C..
