Good news from Bears camp: Justin Fields is in a happy place
The Chicago Bears offense. Those words could be presented to children to teach them the meaning of the word oxymoron....
Do video games affect Kyler Murray’s play?
Sports fans, especially NBA fans, I’m sure are familiar with the family of viruses the “Miami Flu,” the “LA Flu,” etc. It can be caught in places with a pleasant year-round climate and a plethora of places for young, rich people with lots of energy to party when their teams visit. The result, especi...
Jimmy Garoppolo is healthy and he needs to be on the next flight to Pittsburgh
Jimmy Garoppolo is at San Francisco 49ers’ camp, and according to the team, he is able to practice with no restrictions as of today. The team doctors deemed that he was healthy enough not to go on the PUP list at the opening of training camp. He had surgery in early March on his throwing shoulder, w...
Romeo Doubs is doing his best Davante Adams impersonation at Packers camp
The initial star of the Green Bay Packers training camp was, of course, the NFL’s highest-paid player, Aaron Rodgers, arriving at training camp doing a cosplay of Nicolas Cage in “Con Air” — because of course Rodgers would do that. However, almost a week in camp, the star of the show for the Packers...
Reminder to everyone employed by the Bills: Never touch Josh Allen
Maybe the Buffalo Bills need to string Christmas lights onto Josh Allen’s red practice quarterback stop sign jersey. It’s 2022, there has to be a way to put a sensor on the defensive players so it beeps when Allen is approaching like a blind spot device on a new car....
Amanda Nunes made it clear that she is still as good as it gets in UFC
Julianna Peña is tough as nails. She took a beating for five rounds against Amanda Nunes last night. A brutal, bloody beating. Yet through the knockdowns and the elbows, Peña never took her foot off the gas pedal and was able to get Nunes in trouble (at times) on the ground later in the fight. Peña ...
Our Conference Mock Draft: ACC Edition
This new ACC is all about the show. We kept a couple of rivalries but our main goal is to entertain you. There are Hurricanes, Badgers, three different Tigers, and some of the most annoying people on the planet wearing their stupid scarlet. So lean back in your drop top, and turn on the 8 Ball & MJG...
Carl Nassib came out to help a movement push forward
When Ryan O’Callaghan decided to come out as openly gay, for him it was supposed to be the end of the world. He thought that he would lose everything. His family, his friends, his career, it would all be over with so his plan in 2011 was to kill himself after the conclusion of his NFL career. ...
The Madden 23 ratings are out, and of course, a bunch are wrong
Somebody out there, please hear what I am saying, please bring back the NFL 2K series, or at least NFL Blitz. Something has to be done to get the Madden franchise back on the right track. I haven’t played the game since 2015, and haven’t rushed to Best Buy on the day of its release to purchase it si...
America may have finally climbed back to the top of the mountain in the men’s 100M
It has been a while since the United States put up an impressive performance in the sprints. For the majority of the new millennium Jamaica, led by Usain Bolt, has dominated the 100 and 200 meter events. Then, even during last year’s Summer Games in Tokyo, with no one from Jamaica in the Men’s 100 f...
Enes Freedom has a lot of nerve
Before I get started, whatever controversy came out of the trailer for Friday’s episode of The Shop is proof of how disingenuous and dumb Americans can be. First, it’s a trailer. No one has any context of what LeBron James said about Brittney Griner, or the actual full statement except the people in...
Has anyone noticed Carl Nassib isn’t on an NFL roster?
My adult life has been littered with the word privilege. When I was growing up, it was first discussed when my parents explained why my Sega Genesis was off limits as well as the living room television. Privileges can be held over a child, and if that child goes above and beyond acceptable behavior,...
N’Keal Harry and the Chicago Bears are a great match…maybe?
At least the price was right for the Chicago Bears to acquire N’Keal Harry....
Don LaGreca’s rant turned 2022 July sports talk radio into a masterpiece
July is a tough month for sports talk radio. The veterans don’t report to NFL training camp until the end of the month, NBA free agency talk cools after the first week, and this month is the most sluggish and steaming month of the MLB schedule. It’s the only one of the three major American sports le...
49ers legend throws support behind Trey Lance
Jerry Rice is 59 years old and apparently can still run one helluva post route. On the 49ers Talk podcast, he said that while shooting a commercial with Trey Lance he ran routes at full speed. I don’t know if he still runs that infamous hill regularly, but even with a more salt than pepper beard the...
The Jazz wouldn’t say it, but Donovan Mitchell’s days in Utah are likely numbered
Danny Ainge gave no tells during the Utah Jazz summer league press conference on Saturday. The Jazz team president answered, maybe, three questions during the whole session, leaving most of the talking to General Manager Justin Zanik....
5 players to watch at NBA Summer League
Players who were added to NBA rosters two weeks ago take the court to play against young NBA talent, and people who are still desperately clutching their professional basketball dreams. There were a handful of teams in San Francisco and Utah earlier in the week, but the big show is in Vegas for 10 d...
LeBron James, Michael Jordan, and Jayland Walker share a similar experience
LeBron James and Michael Jordan approach basketball and life in starkly different ways. Jordan had to be convinced into consistently sharing the ball with his teammates, while James has been criticized for involving his teammates in the offense too frequently. James is a significantly larger man and...
We should all be so lucky to have a friend like Micah Parsons
An important trait in a friendship is honesty. A good friend tells the truth. It shouldn’t be done in a mean-spirited way, but when people’s friends are honest with them it allows for better decision-making and even self-improvement. ...
