Hear me out: Derek Jeter for MLB Commissioner
We’re going to be without big league baseball for the foreseeable future, launching a sport that’s already been on the decline into what feels like its death throes....

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. The mandate states that residents cannot enter indoor spaces, such as gyms, if they have not received two doses of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or one dose of Johnson & Johnson. His stance a...
No, Aaron Rodgers, we’re not going to take your ‘gratitude’ post at face value
Aaron Rodgers jumped back in the spotlight very quickly after last night’s viral Instagram post. The lengthy post was his first since the day of the NFL Honors ceremony in which he took home his second consecutive MVP award. What makes it intriguing, is that it has the tone of a person saying goodby...
'Never say never'
So what’s all this about Brady coming back?...
The Knicks are living a regression to the mean nightmare
I know I spend way too much of my time mocking the plight of New York Knick fans and their undeserved cockiness, but Thursday night’s fiasco felt like a turning point. They may finally be devoid of hope. For the third time in their last seven games, the Knicks squandered a lead of 20-points or mor...
Kupp was phenomenal this season, but he’s not the best WR in the league, yet
I know he had an amazing, arguably perfect year, but let’s chill out on the talk of Cooper Kupp being the greatest receiver in the game....

We were better off when Matthew Stafford just toiled in mediocrity and obscurity [Updated]
Matthew Stafford’s awareness might’ve not been at an all-time high during the Rams’ Super Bowl parade on Wednesday. He was captured chugging a bottle of Don Julio 1942 Tequila with a can of 805 Beer in his other hand. That’s the only reasoning for an incredibly poor choice that took place later in t...
Aaron Donald’s reign of terror places him in pantheon of generational defensive players
Offensive highlights litter every catalog of the greatest plays in Super Bowl history, and even fewer of those great plays involve lumbering defensive linemen. A two-yard loss isn’t as exciting as a 25-yard scoring throw or a running back trampling an entire defense. But when the story of Super Bowl...
Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of Kyrie Irving’s own actions
This is what it’s come to for the Nets....
The long road of Cooper Kupp
Heading into the 2013 FCS football season, Eastern Washington was expected to be one of the prominent challengers to the early parts of the North Dakota State dynasty. The red-and-white Eagles were the best team in the Big Sky Conference. They knew it, too, throwing a lot of moxie behind quarterback...
Calling Adam Silver
It’ll take a miracle for Marcus Morris Sr. to not be suspended after extra hard foul on Ja Morant...
Dan Snyder knows no shame
Under Dan Snyder’s stewardship, the Washed Football Team has become a tired, dull reflection of the burgundy and gold of old. Each offseason is replete with a stream of allegations, controversies, and criminal investigations. Oh, and the team is rudderless....
Where does the USMNT stand in World Cup Qualifying?
Call this the Idiot’s Guide to World Cup Qualifying. The diehard American Outlaws probably know this information by heart. Casual fans may know some. Most general sports fans in America will only tune in to soccer should the United States men’s national team make it to the World Cup, meaning it’ll b...
Calm down! Brady wasn’t jabbing at New England with his retirement letter
Welp, we all knew it was going to happen, but Tom Brady’s retirement announcement still caught several people off-guard. Even after Adam Schefter tweeted out that Brady was likely going to hang up his cleats this offseason, the fact that Brady would do so despite being a frontrunner for the MVP Awar...
Tom Brady went out in the most obnoxious way possible because of course he did
Aaaand there it is. After one of the more dramatic weekends of sports news in recent memory, the “is he or isn’t he” question has been answered by the man himself. It’s time, as TB12 wrote on Instagram this morning, to “focus [his] time and energy on other things” than football....

Tom Brady walking away after 22 seasons ... or is he? [Updated]
This story has been updated....
So where are we with Christian Pulisic?
It may feel like the USMNT’s qualification process has been going on for about 32 years. Which is what happens when you cock-up the last one and everyone has to wait eight years between World Cup appearances (hopefully). Still, it’s important to stress that the U.S., if it can manage two wins in the...
Jayhawks looking elite in double OT win over Texas Tech
It’s the time of year when teams start to lock down NCAA Tournament spots. Regardless of any collapse, combined with the easier games remaining on schedules, college basketball’s elite know when the calendar flips to February that their postseason lives aren’t on the line every night....
Hamilton vs. Hutchinson/Thibodeaux is this year’s Chase vs. Sewell
When a team has as many holes as the Jacksonville Jaguars and is in rebuild mode, it can be difficult to determine who to take, not because of talent level, but because certain positions are more vital to a rebuild than others. Obviously, the most important position for a successful rebuild is quart...
