THE PUTTDOWN

The Weekly Puttdown Welcome to the weekly Puttdown. A weekly run-through of the major news from the major sports around the globe. Short and to the point, cutting through the drivel and not to be taken too seriously. NBA: There was daylight robbery in Detroit this week. Cleveland managed to secure the services of Andre Drummond for practically nothing.

NBA and WNBA: In a giant step forward in the WNBA, a new collective bargaining agreement was agreed to this week. The deal included a large pay rise and paid maternity leave. These are steps in the right direction as the popularity for the women’s game continues to grow. Oh and Lakers are still top of the West, Bucks still top of the East. Football (Premier League unless otherwise stated): This weekend we saw the save of the season from Bournemouth’s Steve Cook. It was just a sham...
