Being a professional sports team mascot is, well, monkey business. That’s what makes the Gorilla the perfect man, or is that primate, for the job. Despite being born for his role in the NBA, one news outlet doesn’t think he’s the best mascot in...

They say behind every great man is a great woman. In the NBA there should be a similar adage: Behind every great starting lineup is a great bench, at least if you hope to succeed. The Suns have been the benefactor of just that over the last month of...

As you grow up sometimes you see your childhood heroes in a new light, and sometimes that light isn’t flattering. Other times it’s just plain scary or, at the very least, completely surprising. I experienced that firsthand the other day while wat...

There is one event that will be talked about more than any other this weekend. It won’t be the NCAA Elite Eight. 90 degree heat or even the return of Don Draper’s raging libido (although it will probably finish a close second). The thing that wil...
