OBJ: The Cleveland Problem
There a lot of big trades and game-changing acquisitions that can alter a season, and some that just fly by with two-second recognition, like pigeons. OBJ is both of these. He is a big presence on Instagram, when he's having a tantrum on the sidelines, or making some insane catch. Don't get me wrong, I like Odell as much as the next person. His presence is unavoidable, and his effect on the game is unmatched, but he, and AB (Antonio Brown for you casual watchers) have become the cornerstone for the Diva Wide Receiver in the League, and it's shown to not win Championships.

Did we land on the moon? Are there aliens in Area 51? Although there are definitive answers to each of those, that’s not always the case when it comes to conspiracy theories in professional sports. All four major sports leagues have been plagued with conspiracy theories with answers to some being obvious, and others not quite so easy to decipher fact from fiction.

Kemba Changing Locations?
In 2011 the Charlotte Hornets were in a different stage of the organization's history. During this time, the organization was known as the Charlotte Bobcats, an organization that was prone to winning games in the National Basketball Association. At the time D.J. Augustine was the starting point guard, and Shaun Livingston was in the middle of his young career. The Bobcats lacked absolute talent which, at the time, was taking the NBA by storm. Players like LeBron James, Kevin Durant, Carmelo Anthony, Derick Rose, and Dwayne Wade had already become accustomed to the way the NBA was changing. It was clear that in order to win NBA Championships in the 21st century you needed at least one star to build around on an NBA roster. With a need to keep up with the new wave of competition, the Charlotte Bobcats decided to make a long term investment with their ninth pick in the 2011 NBA draft.

No Splash Brother Left Behind?
After a long 82 game NBA regular season, the NBA was ready to reward some of its best players with some of the league’s highest honors. When the NBA All Teams rosters were released to the public on Thursday, many NBA fans and critics began to evaluate the roster to check its validity. In a year where so many fans were able to see so many different players reach a new level of success, it would be no surprise to see new faces on the 2018-2019 All NBA roster. Giannis Antetokounmpo, Stephen Curry, Paul George, James Harden, and Nikola Jokic were the five individuals that received first team honors. Jokic and Antetokounmpo have both shown tremendous growth throughout the course of the 2018-2019 season and were rewarded with one of the highest regular-season honors. For players such as James Harden, Steph Curry, and Paul George, making the All NBA team was almost a given. After incredible regular season performances, it was almost a given that players that have been dominant would make first team conversation.

Moving Too Fast!
As the 2019 offseason begins around the National Football League, teams are preparing for the long and exciting season that is ahead of them. For many NFL organizations, like the Oakland Raiders and the New York Giants, the offseason has brought a tremendous amount of attention to the operations of their franchises. The scrambling of NFL front offices has had positive and negative effects on some teams and their locker rooms. After the firing of the New York Jets general manager Mike Maccagnan, head coach Adam Gase has had to answer the remaining questions from media outlets about the current condition of the Jets organization. The move to fire Maccagnan came after the signing of the former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell. Confused as to why the Jets front office decided to make personnel changes so late in the offseason, many fans are wondering if the New York Jets have enough potential to be an AFC wild card contender.

Glima: The Martial Art Created by the Vikings. Top Story - May 2019.
When the Norsemen sailed out of Scandinavia, they quickly cultivated a bloody and fearsome reputation. Brutal warriors and vicious raiders, they were also skilled sailors and navigators, and they established trade networks from the British Isles all the way to Constantinople (where many Norsemen joined the Varangian Guard, acting as the personal bodyguards to the Eastern Roman emperors).
