The Women’s Tournament has fitness gear now, and the NCAA would like you to forget all about this
The NCAA finally got some fitness equipment to its tournament bubble in San Antonio, which doesn’t excuse the organization’s failure to provide it in the first place or explain the difference in COVID testing protocols between women’s basketball and men’s basketball, or any of the other differences ...
Which city has hosted the most Final Fours?
March Madness is not stationary. Every year, a new city gets to host an influx of college kids, gamblers, partiers, or all of the above. The Final Four is usually held in indoor football stadiums to accommodate for the masses, but not always. With that in mind, do you know which city has hosted the ...
Don't give DeShaun Watson the benefit of the doubt just because you want him to play QB for your team
At the time of writing, there are now three lawsuits against Deshaun Watson from women who say they were assaulted by the (currently) Houston quarterback. All of them have been met, mostly, with claims of tenuous connections between the lawyer representing the women, Tony Buzbee, and some billboards...

Why the hell hasn’t Britt Reid been arrested already?
It’s been over a month since Britt Reid, a former outside linebackers coach with the Kansas City Chiefs and son of head coach Andy Reid, pulled onto southbound I-435 from Stadium Drive, near Arrowhead Stadium. Ahead, two cars were pulled off to the side of the road, one having run out of gas, the ot...
Drew Brees’ legacy is secure, but what is it exactly?
Tampa Bay announced Brees’s retirement before he ever did. While someone with the career of Brees wouldn’t want to go out on his back like he did in the Divisional Round this past January, it was clear that he was past it that afternoon. Brees hadn’t been particularly good, or up to his usual standa...

NCAA engages in legal circle-jerk over VASECTOMY MAYHEM
It’s only fitting that the NCAA is very concerned with dicks. The NCAA is petitioning to cancel a urology center’s trademark for “VASECTOMY MAYHEM” – which is a phrase that honestly shouldn’t exist and especially shouldn’t exist around the word “vasectomy”– because they’re concerned that people will...

It’s time the NHL did a better job protecting its players
Don’t worry, the NHL can still find a way to show its ass even with the NBA having a showcase event. On the same day that Tom Wilson was suspended for braining Boston’s Brandon Carlo into the boards with a cheap shot, Brad Marchand couldn’t be upstaged. And this is the same Brad Marchand who openly ...
It looks like a bunch of confused former college athletes signed an NCAA brief supporting the opposite of their beliefs on paying current college athletes
Hilariously, some former college athletes decided to chime in to say that current college athletes shouldn’t get paid, but also apparently didn’t really know what they were signing. In a “friend-of-the-court” brief filed last month to the U.S. Supreme Court regarding the ongoing saga of NCAA amateur...

It was a day to be ‘committed’ — apparently
The theme of yesterday was being “committed.” Not actually being committed though, just saying it out loud. The Cleveland baseball team said it, after the story broke about them covering up Mickey Callaway’s behavior while he was their pitching coach. But, as Craig Calcaterra points out, just about ...

You should probably prepare for a Patrick Kane MVP campaign again
As I’ve remarked a few times before, just because the shape and structure of the seasons have been so greatly altered hasn’t kept the favorites from reaching the top. It’s no different in the NHL, where all four divisions are led by the teams you would expect, and if they’re not, those teams are sim...
