Why did ‘completely healthy’ Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah’s past heart issue cause him to plummet in NFL draft?
When Day 1 of the 2021 NFL Draft concluded, several first-round talents had yet to be taken. Many viewers were shocked to see names like Asante Samuel Jr., Teven Jenkins, Trevon Moehrig, Jevon Holland, Christian Barmore, and Levi Onwuzurike still available after 32 picks. However, the most notable e...
Max Kellerman's softball chat with Jake Paul is an example of how not to interview an “athlete” accused of sexual assault
Look, I don’t know why Max Kellerman is interviewing Jake Paul. I get that he’s an aspiring fake boxer like his brother, Logan Paul, and that the most dangerous place in America is between either Paul brother and a camera. I’m not even going to get into the whole “are the Paul brothers good for boxi...

April Fools, these fake sports tweets probably got you too
We all want to be first. First in line for whatever you’re buying, first to discover new talent, first to see that blockbuster hit. In the media, we also want to be first to a story. You probably do too. That might be why you’re on Twitter — to follow the “Woj Bombs” or Schefter’s BREAKING news. But...
How NOT to talk about the Deshaun Watson allegations
On Sunday, three new lawsuits were filed against Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, all three accusing Watson of sexual assault and sexual misconduct by women who worked as massage therapists for him at one time or another. That brings the grand total of lawsuits filed against Watson, alleging subst...

J.J. Watt is signed with Arizona, so can the Texans please free Deshaun Watson now?

BREAKING: Adam Schefter is a vacuous turd who embodies white male privilege
Sports media is overpopulated by privileged white people, myself included. But it’s especially populated by privileged white men, who are never called to account for their privilege or use it in any constructive way. America seems, by and large, OK with this: The “leave politics out of sports!” crow...
COVID is Nothing More Than a Teaser for ESPN
If you tune into ESPN’s “Sunday NFL Countdown” for any other reason than to watch a bunch of old guys laugh uncomfortably or stand around screens they don’t entirely understand how to work, then I assume it’s for information. Who’s injured, who’s being replaced as a starter, who got caught putting t...

The World Really Is Coming To An End: Adam Schefter Criticized The NFL

Adam Schefter Doing Ads For An NFL Sponsor Is So Embarrassing
ESPN’s Adam Schefter is a reporter who reports on the NFL. That implies certain things, or at least it used to, namely that a reporter should not have a personal financial stake in the NFL, a business they ostensibly cover objectively, making more money. This seems uncontroversial to me, and for dec...
Leave It To Adam Schefter To Congratulate The Raiders For Tossing A Pittance At Oakland Taxpayers
Mark Davis is yanking the Raiders out of Oakland because he couldn’t get Oakland taxpayers to pony up three quarters of a billion dollars to buy him a new stadium in town. The Raiders have a large and passionate fan base in Oakland, and Oakland is situated in one of the country’s largest and healthi...
ESPN Report: This Is How Percentages Work
At long last, ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter has determined that Tom Brady, who everyone on Earth assumed was going to be playing football for the Patriots next season, is going to be playing football for the Patriots next season....
Here Is An Unbelievably Useless ESPN Report About Tom Brady
The headline on ESPN scoopmaster Adam Schefter’s latest report about Tom Brady—“Sources: Tom Brady has yet to commit to playing ‘18 season for Pats”—probably won’t get your juices flowing. “Yet to commit” doesn’t mean he won’t, or that he’s even been asked to, and so I imagine you’ll go into the sto...
