NFL Draft Day provides a welcome rebuke to the NBA’s player empowerment era

It’s a widely known fact that Kyrie Irving is delusional. He’s a man of the people while walking among them unvaccinated. He thinks the Earth is flat, and has the NBA figured out even though he’s essentially a losing player without LeBron James. However, when he said he was going to keep “managing” ...

Watch Aaron Rodgers get mad about a kids’ flag football game

This Kyrie situation is starting to feel like the Mayor of New York is trying to beat him in a game of one-on-one

I know this is March Madness and NFL Free Agency season, but the NBA Playoffs start in less than 30 days.

Texas A&M got jobbed

Mike Zimmer fired partly for saying what Minnesota Vikings still refuse to admit

Wait, there’s still a debate about the quarterbacking abilities of Kirk Cousins? I thought we were past this, like the, “Is Joe Flacco elite?” argument. Apparently, new Minnesota coach Kevin O’Connell will continue living out a Twitter argument in real time....

Davis Mills should have stayed at Stanford another year

With the NFL Combine less than a week away, draft season is upon us.

Mayor Eric Adams just threw a lob to the Nets

Kyrie Irving took a gamble on his health when he began his crusade against New York City’s vaccine mandate.

No, Aaron Rodgers, we’re not going to take your ‘gratitude’ post at face value
