Lamar Jackson put an electrical current through some questions John Harbaugh had to answer about him

Kenny Omega and El Hijo Del Vikingo somehow, miraculously, overcome a lack of build to become the match of the year

The idea that there could be “smart” wrestling debate is probably high comedy to any non-wrestling fan, given the perception that they probably have for creatures like us (not all that inaccurate either). It’s becoming pretty farcical in the wrestling world as well these days, given the split betwee...

At least 1 of these 3 tight ends in the NFL Draft will be an incredible pro

The NFL Draft is five weeks away, which doesn’t feel close at all, yet the more dialed-in part of the evaluation process has long been underway.

Patrick Mahomes will never make as much money as Roger Goodell

For those who want to be a multi-millionaire, the secret is not on LLC Twitter.

Joel Embiid has overtaken Nikola Jokić for MVP

Don’t count MVPs before they hatch. Nikola Jokić’s third consecutive MVP has seemed like an inevitability during the first three-quarters of the season. Jokić’s triple-double averages, improved offensive efficiency, advanced statistics, and Denver’s No. 1 seed in the Western Conference all appeared ...
