Shaun White Wins Men’s Halfpipe Gold Most mainstream media has made it sound as if Shaun White was facing Shaun White in the Olympics, but it was a much tougher battle than that. The men’s halfpipe quickly turned into one of the most exciting, competitive competitions in Olympic history. After winning gold medals in Turin in 2006 and in Vancouver 2010, Shaun White failed to reach the medal stand at the 2014 Olympics in Sochi. He fell on his third and final run during the competition, which meant he finished fourth, just short of the bronze medal. Using this for…

2018 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony The opening ceremony of the 23rd Winter Olympics kicked off with the athletes from both Koreas marching under a unified flag, as announced last month. This is the first time they have done so since the 2006 Olympics in Italy. During a time of global unrest, this gave many a hope for some peace in the future. Since FlurrySports is a sports brand, I will leave the talk about North Korea and Kim Jong-un’s younger sister in attendance to other sites. Instead, we will be discussing how this Winter Olympics is said to be the…

The NBA Trade Deadline is always exciting, but I can’t remember a single team being this involved in trades. I suppose this should tell us just how panicked the Cleveland Cavaliers are. This will be an article that is updated throughout the day, since I can’t imagine the Cavs are finished yet! This is what we have so far: Lakers Trade Lakers Get: Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye, Cavs’ protected first-round pick in 2018 Cavs Get: Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. This trade sends away two expiring contracts while gaining two young, talented guys that will make an immediate impact.…
Isaiah Thomas’ stay in Cleveland was as short as his height, after news broke that the Cleveland Cavaliers traded the point guard to the Los Angeles Lakers. The full breakdown of the trade is as follows: Lakers Get: Isaiah Thomas, Channing Frye, Cavs’ protected first-round pick in 2018 Cavs Get: Jordan Clarkson and Larry Nance Jr. Of course, Isaiah Thomas was sent to Cleveland this summer in a trade that brought Kyrie Irving to Boston. It sure seems like Boston won that trade, since Kyrie is playing like an All-Star, while IT appeared in only 15 games for the Cavs,…
The growth of fantasy sports is an unstoppable reality. From fantasy football to fantasy eSports, there is something for everyone to play every single day. We received an announcement a couple weeks ago that the XFL will be back in two years, and the first thing I saw on Twitter was celebration that this meant MORE fantasy football! For those who know me well, you know I live and breathe fantasy sports. Possibly to an unhealthy amount, but we’re not here for my intervention. We’re here to celebrate my addiction and explore just how huge the fantasy sports industry is.…

I have them broken up by production, the city, concession costs, Super Bowl economics and the game. Production 103.4 Million The number of viewers who watched the big game, which is…

Seemingly out of nowhere, rumors of Blake Griffin heading to Detroit arose. The trade quickly came to fruition, and the Clippers and Pistons agreed to a multi-player deal to send the five-time All-Star to Detroit. Trade Breakdown Clippers Get: Tobias Harris, Avery Bradley, Boban Marjanovic, a first-round pick and a second-round pick. Pistons Get: Blake Griffin, Brice Johnson and Willie Reed. The focal point of the trade is undoubtedly Blake Griffin, who is averaging 22.6 points and 7.9 rebounds this season. When on the court, he continues to show he’s among the best in the league. Unfortunately, injuries have kept him off…
