data-mm-id=”_z3o841sne”>The 41st Sports Emmy Awards were handed out virtually last night but they still mean a heck of a lot to a bunch of hardworking people who now get something to really tie the living room mantle together. ESPN and Fox tied atop the network leaderboard with seven apiece while HBO and CBS collected five. Some of the more notable individual winners were Ernie Johnson for best studio host, Mike Emrick for best play-by-play, Charles Barkley and Kirk Herbstreit for their respective analysis roles, and Tom Verducci for reporting. A more complete breakdown is below, though it's worthwhile to go check out the official Emmy site, which lists everyone involved with each triumphant production for a reminder that sports television is an iceberg and only a tiny fraction of…
data-mm-id=”_m2bg5hvke”>Enterprising reporter Jon Greenberg of The Athletic tackled the hard-hitting topic of the Cubs announcing duo of Len Kasper and Jim Deshaies wearing suits and ties in the booth in his Sunday column and was richly rewarded with significant web traffic.

data-mm-id=”_q57lxq34y”>Joe Burrow suffered a devastating season-ending left knee injury on Sunday that had the Internet mad at the Cincinnati Bengals for failing to protect him. On Monday the news got worse, as the injury is far more extensive than initially feared. Burrow tore his ACL and MCL while also suffering other structural issues in his knee. He'll undergo reconstructive surgery and begin rehabbing in the hopes he can return to start the 2021 season. These types of knee injuries, like the one Joe Burrow suffered, usually sideline players anywhere from 9-12 months, though each person heals and rehabs differently. But no matter how quickly Burrow does or doesn’t recover, next year’s status is now in question. https://t.co/XfUUMbMPOx— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) Nove…
data-mm-id=”_m9ohx59dn”>The blissful radio silence about Kyrie Irving's future came to a rather abrupt end on Monday. The problematic point guard hasn't played a game in more than a month after he got shut down near the end of the season so the Dallas Mavericks could maneuver their way out of the play-in tournament and into the lottery. Brian Windhorst has been talking about Irving's impending free agency for the last two days and broke down how the Los Angeles Lakers, specifically, could land Irving without giving up Austin Reaves on his podcast yesterday. Brian Windhorst on "The Hoop Collective" podcast discussing Mavericks' impending free agent Kyrie Irving as a Lakers target:"It would take a little bit of maneuvering, and Kyrie [Irving] would prob…
