Arsenal FC – Theo Walcott Should Start Playing as a Striker
Arsene Wenger keeps refusing the talented English forward, but after going through so much this season in terms of trying to find consistent goal scoring, maybe the solution of giving Theo Walcott more opportunities to play in the center of the attack, as a striker instead of a winger on the right, is the best one he has to use.

George Karl Calls Festus Ezeli an Asshole
The Denver Nuggets playing the Golden State Warriors is turning into quite the entertaining series, quite as predicted, although not just for pure basketball reasons.
