NFL sees uptick in positive COVID-19 cases, forcing teams to reconsider having fans
Are you really surprised?...
We don’t want you to have to watch the Bears either
Whenever the NFL schedule is released, we Bears fans cringe whenever there’s a national game listed. Not because the Bears’ record over history on Sunday or Monday night is pretty porous, though that’s part of it. And it’s not the slagging we’ll be in for by national analysts. We’re numb to that by ...
We're facing a humanitarian crisis, but college football marches on
We are doomed as a society. There is no turning back. There is no shelter to run and hide. (Well, there is — it’s called your house — but seemingly millions of folks don’t want to stay there.)

MLB PED testing is down, slippery misleading answers way up

Who’s ready for Wisconsin/Notre Dame this week & why is it even a thing?

It had to be the Raiders, didn’t it?
For as much as the Pats get shit for it, mostly because they were the most successful, every football team loves to find ways to flout the rules. It’s what they do. If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t tryin’ as the saying goes. You have to be willing to do what the other guy won’t. That’s the defining ...

The NFL is plowing ahead, despite all logic
We knew when the NFL decided to go ahead with the season as scheduled, it had very little flexibility. This isn’t baseball that can pile on double-headers or fill up off-days. The NFL only has teams’ bye weeks to bounce around and that’s what they’ve done, on a limited basis. Which is why there’s no...
Trent Brown’s past few weeks have been brutal

Baseball’s winter of cost-savings discontent begins as cheapskate Cards cut Wong
It used to be the hot stove, and fans used to get excited about it right after the last out of the World Series.

Screw the rules! Our jerseys look like vomit now
The photo above is not part of an energy drink advertisement, nor is it some sort of misguided Tron cosplay. It is, in fact, the latest aesthetic for hockey’s Dallas Stars, whose apparent quest to become that city’s most toxic franchise has taken a literal turn....
