Dallas Cowboys show a shocking-yet-predictable level of self-awareness
The best part about the Dallas Cowboys is making fun of them.

The SEC is still better
There’s a confident nature among the collective of Southeastern Conference fan bases, and what their conglomerate represents.

It’s time to stop kicking the word ‘superstar’ around the NBA like it’s a game of hacky sack
Some words in the English lexicon get tossed around like loose change on a rollercoaster.

Hey NFL, Joe Burrow and Kyler Murray could use a little help supporting women’s rights
The NFL responding to the overturning of Roe v. Wade by not saying a word was a maddening yet predictable PR outcome. It was never a multiple choice, “What will the league say?” question.
