Did Robert Griffin III subtweet Michael Vick?
I can’t confirm that Robert Griffin III took a shot at Michael Vick Saturday on Twitter. But the fact that Griffin tweeted out a paraphrased version of what Vick said on Fox NFL Kickoff, it’s not farfetched to believe that those comments didn’t sit right with RGIII....

'Stephen A. Shaq' debuted on the NBA on TNT
Shaquille O’Neal is one of the most dominant NBA players to step on the hardwood. A four-time champion, three-time Finals MVP, and regular season MVP, Shaq is in many people’s top 10 all-time.

From coaching decisions and offseason moves to questionable calls by medical staff, this N...
Someone save Davante Adams from himself
Davante Adams has always been the anti-diva receiver. His contract dispute with the Green Bay Packers was relatively low-key, and he’s rarely spoken negatively of his ex-franchise. Adams’ reunion with his college quarterback Derek Carr ended in a powder keg. While speculation about Carr’s future and...
Could Derek Carr be the next Matthew Stafford?

Matthew Stafford was lucky enough to find a way ...

The Las Vegas Raiders’ 2022 offseason had fans filled with optimism for the team’s future.

The two of them played together in colle...
IDIOT OF THE YEAR No. 3: Kyrie Irving
Do you know how easy it is to say “I’m sorry!” or that you’re not antisemitic? Apparently, it was a tremendous challenge for Brooklyn Nets star Kyrie Irving. Everyone’s allowed to make mistakes, but hot damn, you’re not allowed to be that negligent with a public spotlight and not face consequences. ...
Derek Carr wasn’t that ‘mothaf*cker’ and now he’s not the Raiders’ starting quarterback
Getting suplexed by the lowly Steelers and Kenny Pickett on Sunday Night Football finally broke the spell Derek Carr has on the Raiders.

IDIOT OF THE YEAR No. 9: Aaron Rodgers
Aaron Rodgers is one of the greatest quarterbacks in NFL history, and he’s destined to have a bust in Canton, Ohio, as soon as he’s eligible for Hall of Fame enshrinement.

The remnants of Adam Gase’s disastrous Jets tenure are rearing their ugly heads again ahead of Thursday Night Football
If the NFL playoffs started today, the New York Jets would be on the outside looking in, currently in possession of the AFC’s ninth seed. They are just one game out of a playoff spot and that makes every game for the remainder of the season a must-win. The Jets have to put their best foot forward an...
The New York Rangers have gone back to what worked, but kind of didn’t work, but they’re winning so screw you, New York numbah 1 baby
As the New York Rangers lurched and stumbled their way to the conference finals last year (two seven-game series to get there, and needing the Penguins to dress up the beer guy as a goalie to get by them. And a farting beer guy!), it was harder and harder to convince anyone that they were all smoke ...
Donovan Mitchell finally said the quiet part out loud about being Black in Utah
