Tiki and Tierney

The Dallas Cowboys did the unthinkable this past weekend: they overcame a 39-24 deficit with less than five minutes to go against the Atlanta Falcons and won 40-39 on a walk-off field goal. It was a phenomenal win. Truly incredible. But some might say they got lucky. “We have not seen our guys...

Sports author Jeff Pearlman dropped by Tiki & Tierney on Wednesday to discuss his new book, “ Three-Ring Circus: Kobe, Shaq, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty .” That trio – Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O’Neal and Phil Jackson – won three straight NBA titles together, but there was...

Josh Allen, through the first two years of his NFL career, was a serviceable quarterback. Not super accurate (completion percentage in the 50s), strong arm, good mobility. This season, however, Allen has taken a noticeable step forward. He has completed 70.4 percent of his passes for 729 yards, six...

Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow hasn’t won an NFL game yet, but he has more than looked the part of a No. 1 pick through two starts. “He looks like a veteran quarterback,” former Bengals All-Pro wide receiver Chad Ochocinco said on Tiki & Tierney. “His presence in the pocket, he’s very poised,...

Henry Ruggs, the first wide receiver taken in the NFL Draft, made his Raiders debut Sunday, and his speed, well, it was apparent. Heck, his first NFL catch went for 45 yards . Josh Jacobs wasn’t surprised. He and Ruggs, of course, were teammates at Alabama, so he’s certainly familiar with Ruggs’...

Tom Brady made his Buccaneers debut on Sunday. Unfortunately for him, it didn’t go well. Brady finished 23-of-36 for 239 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions, and three sacks in a 34-23 loss to New Orleans, with much of his production coming when the game was out of reach. Thoughts? “I hate to...

It’s been a tumultuous offseason for Washington’s NFL team. From a long-overdue name change to sexual harassment allegations , Dan Snyder’s organization has been dragged through the mud. His players, however, hope to change that, even on the heels of a disastrous 3-13 season. “I think the mood...

Giannis Antetokounmpo, fresh off another early playoff exit with Milwaukee , can – if he chooses – sign a super-max contract with the Bucks this offseason.
