Harmon’s 2024 First-Round Mock Draft
The long lying season has finally come to a conclusion. No, I’m not suggesting that there aren’t a number of false starts and bogus reports (beware spoof accounts) still to come. But, the countdown clock is on … and soon enough, Caleb Williams will become the next in a long line of Chicago Bears Quarterbacks. […]

Harmon Fun With Fantasy Quarterbacks
As we round to the home stretch and the bulk of draft season, I’m poring through the 2017 stats one more time. A lot has transpired in the sporting world since the Eagles won Super Bowl. Think of all the NBA player movement and innumerable controversies across the sporting landscape, just as a start. So, […]
The Party’s Over: Heating Up Minnesota With Maxim For Super Bowl LII
The dust has finally settled on Super Bowl LII from Minneapolis. All of the confetti has been cleaned up and the analysis of each play has been filed to the hard drives. OK, the dust got kicked up a bit one week after the event when the Colts lured offensive coordinator Frank Reich away from […]
I’m A Peacock. You Gotta Let Me Fly
The sports world gave us myriad headlines to wrap our heads around on a Tuesday night. James Harden of the Rockets recorded a ridiculous 60-point Triple Double.

Back Up The Brink’s Truck: German Chocolate Heist
It’s only appropriate that I post this while watching Ocean’s Eleven in the middle of the night. The fight scene and blackout just occurred – to give the specificity of my viewing pleasure. We often see television shows or movies detailing big-time organized crime rings or packs like George Clooney and his band of merry […]
Roller Coaster Ride To Find A Dog’s Purpose
For the past few weeks, I’ve driven past innumerable billboards for the new Universal release “A Dog’s Purpose.” Given the ridiculous Los Angeles commute I make each day to our Sherman Oaks studios, I’ll stipulate to having spent more than a few moments pondering my own. But that’s a tale for another blog post, book […]
Prince: The Marriage of Music and Sports
I pieced together a quick video (you can see the tired eyes) on the outpouring of emotion following the death of legendary musician Prince, the latest in a string of jarring losses in the entertainment world this year. Harmon examines the connection of pop culture, music and sports, the similarity of fan bases and the reverential […]
Elton John Updates RAM IT With Ryan Seacrest
Last week, the owners of the NFL voted to approve a stadium project in Inglewood, CA. NFL fans in California celebrated the return of a team that departed following the 1994 season. Those in St. Louis burned merchandise and jerseys and cursed the name of owner Stan Kroenke. Fans were allowed to plunk down a […]
The Giggly Rousey Australian Presser
Sometimes in sports media, we have the ability to laugh and joke like we’re 12 years old. Sometimes our subjects act just the same. And, that has never been exemplified better than this week’s presser in Australia that left UFC Champion Ronda Rousey in stitches. Rousey was answering a question about how to attack striker […]
South Park Meets Tom Brady
It was only a matter of time. Trey Parker and Matt Stone get after the latest NFL debacle, Deflategate, in this week’s “South Park” episode. Cartman’s seething and stalking the hallway, likening himself as Tom Brady in his fight against school administration.
Jets Unveil Ridiculous Food Options
The NFL season is now off and pacing on the road to Santa Clara in Super Bowl 50. The Patriots and Steelers whet our proverbial appetite with the season opener last Thursday.

Rousey To Star In Road House Reboot
While I work to tweak final Week 1 Fantasy Football rankings, the Twitter feed is constantly refreshed for breaking news and injury updates. And the occasional pop culture brilliance … such as this.

Concussion Trailer: Bogus Outrage
The first trailer for the forthcoming Will Smith vehicle “Concussion” landed on Monday. Peter King included it in his MMQB piece. I’ve watched it several times and have seen the attention-grabbing headlines that have taken over social media and entertainment/sports websites. Many of these headlines include some variation of the “Movie that the NFL doesn’t […]
Graceland Auction Of Elvis Presley Gems
This is one of the greatest things I’ve seen in recent memory. I’m feeling like I want to sell off anything extraneous in my house to participate in the ridiculous Elvis auction on eBay.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve undoubtedly heard the captivating tale of newly re-signed Los Angeles Clippers big man DeAndre Jordan.

LeBron James Talks Finals At The Barber
Earlier this week, the Cleveland Cavaliers were defeated by the Golden State Warriors in the 2015 NBA Finals (4-2). I’ve heard the arguments all week about how the health of Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving flipped this from a Cleveland sweep to a Warriors victory. That’s some specious thinking, to my mind, to say that […]
Mick Jagger Loves San Diego
The Rolling Stones hit the stage on May 24th to open their 15-city “ZIP Code” tour. Mick Jagger and Keith Richards led the band through a 20-song set, including many of the classics.

38 Years Later, The Force Remains Strong
Happy Birthday, Star Wars. As we commemorated Memorial Day on Monday, I spent some time relaxing with my family grillside.
