Bill Hader as Barry Berkman (left) and Henry Winkler as Gene Cousineau in “Barry.” Photo: Aaron Epstein/HBOBarry Berkman is a bad person leading a terrible life. A soldier traumatized by war violence, he’s returned to the U.S. and fallen into an underworld of contract killing. Berkman’s good at it—too good, which is how he becomes the Los Angeles crime world’s preferred assassin, a job he’d like to stop but keeps doing because it’s all he truly knows.

☆ Miracle in Miami, and the Boston Celtics Sit on History’s Edge
  + stars: | 2023-05-28 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
There once was a time when Boston lost games like this. They lost almost all of the games like this. They lost so many games like this, that soul-crushing sports disappointment became baked into everyday Massachusetts life, as familiar as Dunkin’ regular and the elbow of Cape Cod.

☆ The One Man You Don’t Want to Meet in the NBA Playoffs
  + stars: | 2023-05-15 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
If I told you Jimmy Butler lived alone in a stone cave without furniture, would you believe me? If I told you he slept upside down, like a bat, and ate a boiling tub of batteries and lug nuts for breakfast, would you buy it? If you’ve watched Butler in the NBA playoffs, you might.
☆ The Most Exciting Young Athlete on Earth Isn’t Playing in America
  + stars: | 2023-05-09 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
We interrupt these amusingly Florida-centric hockey and basketball playoffs—the Panthers and Heat, who saw this tropic thunder coming—to pivot to the soccer pitch. Specifically, I want to pivot to the most thrilling human currently on two cleats, I mean boots:

☆ Steph vs. LeBron: The NBA’s Dream Duel Bounces Back
  + stars: | 2023-05-01 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Here we go again—tell the family, tell the neighbors, tell the pets, and tell the pets who say they only watch hockey. Definitely tell anyone who only watches Boston Bruins hockey, once they get back from crying for three days in the woods. Steph Curry. LeBron James. It’s an unexpected playoff re-rendezvous for two NBA all-timers, pitting Curry’s Golden State Warriors against James’s new-look (and not as terrible as expected!)
☆ The Jets Have Aaron Rodgers, the Knicks Have a Championship Shot. Is this Real Life?
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Question: Is this really happening? Do the New York Jets and New York Knicks really have championship possibilities? Is it time to crawl into that backyard capsule and start opening all the canned ravioli and Zima we bought for the Y2K apocalypse? Does Zima expire? But let’s start with the Jets.
☆ Why the Giannis Antetokounmpo ‘Failure’ Speech Is a Viral Phenomenon
  + stars: | 2023-04-27 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
The underdog Miami Heat pulled off the upset of the NBA basketball season Wednesday, bouncing the top-seeded Milwaukee Bucks from the playoffs in a stunning five-game romp. Playoff tornado Jimmy Butler will now pivot to rowdy Madison Square Garden to face off with another unexpected surprise, the Cleveland-thumping New York Knicks. But hours afterward, it feels like the entire planet–or at least the online portion of the planet–is still obsessing about Giannis Antetokounmpo, and the topic of failure.
☆ ‘Participation Trophies’ Are a Fake Crisis. Here’s the Real Problem for Youth Sports.
  + stars: | 2023-04-24 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Is there a debate sillier than the one over “participation trophies?” Like an out-of-shape benchwarmer, our intermittent national bicker over the appropriate reasons to award hardware to young athletes has wheezed its way back onto the playing field. This time the arena is North Carolina, where a trio of state politicians have introduced legislation to enact a statewide ban on youth sports awards “based solely on participation.”
☆ The Joy of a Totally Empty Brain
  + stars: | 2023-04-21 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Illustration: Zohar LazarTo write this humor column, I had to empty my brain. I mean empty it even more than its usual echoing, empty state. Let me explain. Modern life has clogged my skull to the limit. Technology has delivered an avalanche of options to preoccupy me at any hour; the notion of idle time that can’t be filled with some form of digital distraction is foreign to me, almost unnerving.
☆ The Boston Bruins Are Chasing Hockey’s Greatest Season Ever. Is That Bad?
  + stars: | 2023-04-18 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
If the Boston sports fan possesses a superpower, it is the ability to find the anxiety lurking inside any joy. The Patriots are the greatest football team of this century, but David Tyree ’s perfect-season spoiling “helmet catch” in Super Bowl XLII means he and a smirking Eli Manning will forever tiptoe in big blue pajamas around the nightmares of New Englanders.

☆ Quinnipiac Shocked the College Hockey Universe in 10 Seconds
  + stars: | 2023-04-10 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
I hope it isn’t too late to discuss the sporting event of the weekend, which really has a chance to go down as one of the greatest sporting events of the year. Not the golf Masters, though congratulations to the impressive first-time green jacket Jon Rahm—and also to second-place finisher Phil Mickelson, you crazy, slimmed-down, 52-year-old, 65-shooting Augusta National pirate.
☆ Eat Like a Masters Golf Champion
  + stars: | 2023-04-07 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
I do not plan to win the Masters golf tournament this weekend. I guess I should also point out that I am not competing in the Masters, because I am terrible at golf. Unless you have six hours to spare, and don’t mind losing an eye, or running away from an angry guy with a home on the course, you should not golf with me. This cherished Masters tradition is a pretournament feast hosted by the prior year’s winner. There’s always a good deal of discussion about the menu, as if it’s a celebrity wedding, or final meal on death row.
☆ John McEnroe Is Playing Pickleball for $1 Million? You Cannot Be Serious
  + stars: | 2023-03-31 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
We will now discuss pickleball, because pickleball is the only thing that matters now. Pickleball, pickleball, pickleball. The Final Four, Opening Day, new NFL rules—none of it stands a chance against a good old racket-borne Tupperware fight. By media edict, I am required to mention pickleball at least 20 times per day, or there is a penalty, which is having to mention pickleball 40 times a day. On Sunday, April 2, former pickleball hater John McEnroe —“I think it sucks,” Mac said last September—will compete against fellow tennis geezers Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick and Michael Chang in a tournament at a Florida casino with a purse of $1 million.
☆ Miami?! San Diego State?! Florida Atlantic?! Frisky First Timers Invade Final Four
  + stars: | 2023-03-27 | by ( Jason Gay | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
My friends, take a long look at the teams in this year’s men’s college basketball Final Four, because there has never been a final foursome like it before, and there will almost surely never be again:Hamburger University Harvard Business School The Sorbonne DukeOK, fine, I’m kidding, those aren’t really the four schools—the field is actually (for realsies) Florida Atlantic, Miami, San Diego State and something called the University of Connecticut—but it still represents a radical departure from the March Madness norm.
