Give me 'Roundball Rock' or give me death

Professional sports leagues are the big winners of the streaming wars because live sports seem to be the only thing that still moves the ratings needle. As long as the production value remains intact, the “boom-goes-the-dynamite” guy isn’t announcing, and the stream actually streams, I could care le...

Kyrie Irving shouldn’t be an All-Star because he’s literally the worst

Kyrie Irving’s first media appearance since being traded to the Dallas Mavericks was just as delusional as you might imagine. The dribbling headache said he wanted out of Brooklyn because he wants to be in a place where he’s “celebrated and not just tolerated.” That led to a feeling of disrespect, a...

Please don’t let Jesse Marsch fall upwards into the USMNT job

Jesse Marsch talks a good game. Just ask him. He’s happy to talk to you about how he talks a good game. He’s happy to let everyone watch him talk a good game. He’ll talk about letting people watch him talk a good game. He’s always there to talk and to tell you what he’s doing. He loves talking, espe...

Even Tom Brady's thirst traps are boring

It’s Super Bowl week, and if you thought Tom Brady was going to let this week go by without being all up in your timeline...well. Just a week after announcing he’s retiring from football (you’ll never convince me he didn’t play an extra year just to stick it to Adam Schefter), Tom Brady has dropped ...

11 football films to get you through to the Super Bowl

I know you football fans out there that are preparing for your Super Bowl parties with great enthusiasm are doing so out of a love for the day, but also to mask some pain....

What's going to be different this time with the Houston Texans after DeMeco Ryans hire?

Despite being an annual news story around this time of the year — due to the circus that’s caused by the way that coaches are fired and hired in the Lone Star State — DeMeco Ryans is returning home to be the newest head coach of the Houston Texans. They say “home is where the heart is,” but the Texa...

These NBA alternate jerseys are an eyesore

NBA, I’m ready to bargain. I complain regularly about the uniforms because back when the NBA was a proper league, the home team wore white except for the Los Angeles Lakers gold. I can accept that those days are long gone, but Adam Silver please meet me 25 percent of the way. If a classic matchup is...

Adam Schefter is a toad, chapter 1 billion

The NFL coaching roulette wheel started to spin pretty violently yesterday, with DeMeco Ryans heading to the Texans now that San Francisco’s season is over, which left Sean Payton’s path to Denver open. Though that path was a two-way street, given the draft picks the Broncos had to send back to New ...

'The opportunity I was looking for': Sean Payton gets 5-year deal from Denver Broncos [Updated]

There will be no Sean Payton on Fox Sports next season, he has found a new place to coach. ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting that Payton will be the Denver Broncos’ next head coach. The Broncos and Payton’s former team, the New Orleans Saints, finalized compensation....

Oh my god, they signed McKennie!

It’s transfer deadline day, and with the news that the USMNT will be in the Copa America (unless there’s some sort of qualifying disaster, which has never happened before, right?), what the members of the team do with their club teams takes on greater urgency. It’s not waiting three years anymore. T...

Could Tom Brady to the San Francisco 49ers become a reality? Guess not [Updated]

Updated Feb. 1, 2023 at 9:00 a.m.: Tom Brady announced his retirement — we’ll see how long that lasts — via Twitter. ...

The AFC Championship Game’s weakest links

A championship-caliber unit is only as strong as its weakest link. Entering Championship Weekend, the rosters are so deep, and refined that it gets tougher to find dents in their armors. These aren’t the Houston Texans and Chicago Bears. The Kansas City Chiefs found a way around their lack of go-to ...

The Vancouver Canucks are the worst

For an organization that has spent almost its entire existence accomplishing nothing, the amount of noise the Vancouver Canucks generate is certainly outsized. Three lost Stanley Cup Finals is the sum of their 53-year existence, and yet it feels like the drama they create always seeps into the great...

Shannon Sharpe, Memphis Grizzlies nearly scuffle at halftime: 'They didn't want this smoke'

The Memphis Grizzlies have always exuded extreme black Air Force energy. It’s one thing for their trash talk to agitate LeBron. However, their penchant for trash talk nearly approached Malice at the Palace levels on Friday night before halftime of a Friday night ESPN matchup against the Los Angeles ...

Rob Gronkowski gives Aaron Rodgers the business over MVP comment

Former Super Bowl-winning tight end Rob Gronkowski has never been shy about sharing his opinion. The four-time Super Bowl winner was on Up & Adams with Kay Adams this week, and she asked Gronk about Aaron Rodgers’ recent comments about winning more MVP awards. Rodgers said that he thinks he can win ...

How will Adam Cole's return impact AEW?

It's time for Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers to get lost

The NFL is going through one of its greatest quarterback renaissances in league history. It’s never been clearer, you can’t win a Super Bowl without an elite quarterback. Of the eight teams remaining in the postseason, only one team — the New York Giants — has a proven non-elite signal caller at the...

What's next for Tom Brady? Here are 8 potential post-NFL options

The NFL community is on Tom Brady watch. And by the NFL, I mean the producers at ESPN and Adam Schefter. If you’re wondering where he’s going to end up, you’ve come to a place. (And should probably return to your Google search.)...

Jay Briscoe, indy wrestling legend, dead at 38 [Updated]
