Why is it the Jets are only ever relevant in the offseason?
Oh, Jets. Jets, Jets, Jets. Can’t you do anything right? Current Chief and former Gang Green WR Mecole Hardman was accused by various former New York teammates of leaking offensive game plans to opponents, including Kansas City and Philadelphia. That’s a juicy rumor even if it’s not true, and my gu...
Please do not glorify Mattress Mack’s gambling addiction
Reporting on Mattress Mack McIngvale’s gambling addiction is akin to covering those competitive vaping contests featuring Gen Zers trying to see who can blow the biggest cloud/contract lymphoma the quickest. I guess there’s a human-interest angle, but it also glorifies sports betting to a disgusting...
Justin Jefferson pressured ex-girlfriend to get abortion: paternity suit
Minnesota Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson is facing a paternity lawsuit and allegedly pressured the child’s mother into getting an abortion. ...
Might be time for Trae Young to get shoved out of the Hawks' nest
It’s tough to know when to know when to throw in the towel on an era, but the bruised and bloodied Trae Young era Atlanta Hawks are beginning to look like they should throw in the towel. The Hawks are now six years into Young’s tenure as their cornerstone and all they have to show for the rollercoa...
You probably forgot these NFL players were on these teams
The NFL is pretty good at keeping home-grown stars at home, but even some of the most iconic players end up with teams other than the ones they made their careers with. Even players with two iconic runs have a weird bump in the road every now and then. We all know the Tom Brady stint with the Tampa ...
Deadspin presents the Two-Thirds Through the Season NHL Awards
After working up a third of a season award post just so my editor would have something to publish during the Holidays, it only seems right that we do an equally meaningless one with some teams having cracked 60 games played. No, 82 doesn’t divide evenly by three, and there really isn’t a distinctive...
Juwan Howard and John Beilein finally have something in common — 20-loss seasons at Michigan
One guy did it in his first season in Ann Arbor — before going on to win a pair of regular-season and conference tournament championships, along with appearing in two national title games. The latest guy is doing it in what might be his last season in Ann Arbor — with one regular-season championship...
Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Marvin Harrison Jr. are making the right call by not working out at the NFL Combine
In young people’s latest affront to the spirit of competition, the participation of some top NFL draft prospects in the upcoming scouting combine will be slim to none. Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels will not throw until their respective Pro Days. Marvin Harrison Jr. will not be participating in a...
The Florida Panthers are getting started early this year
Cat Scratch Fever has shifted up the calendar a couple months this time around. Last year, the Florida Panthers spent the first half of the season looking for a signal on their phone before closing the second half with a flourish to make the playoffs. That carried over into the postseason as they ch...
Have the Premier League’s financial rules kept Newcastle from being Newcastle?
While the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules might have lost a shade or two off their teeth with the news today that Everton have had their 10-point penalty reduced to six on appeal (though they have another charge to dodge), that doesn’t mean they’re not having an effect. The desolate...
Joel Embiid's absence in Philadelphia has created a black hole
DNP Lord Joel Embiid is the poltergeist still haunting the MVP race and Philadelphia’s title aspirations. When Nikola Jokic, Luka Doncic or Shai Gilgeou-Alexander are eventually crowned, Embiid’s name will hang over the successor. Before the Philly center was jettisoned from the MVP race, he was lap...

Don't be Kenny Smith; Redick blasts Rivers; the Knicks are back; How about that ASG?
You don’t have to put on the pom-poms for Sabrina Ionescu or women’s sports, but too many broadcasters are happy to communicate that women’s participation, or records, or fandom is somehow less than. ...
The New York Giants are definitely going to botch the No. 6 pick
The New York Giants have a couple months to decide how they’re going to screw up their first-round pick. By all accounts, this is a deep quarterback draft, with a handful of prospects flirting with franchise guy potential. There are three to four teams with QB needs ahead of the G-Men, so at No. 6, ...
Fans preparing for March Madness should know that women’s college basketball is the main draw
Football is finished and the NBA is coming off of a horrific All-Star break. That only means one thing — it’s the time of the year when the masses start paying attention to college basketball. However, many “fans” will be in for a rude awakening when they realize that the men’s game isn’t that excit...
Ranking the major sports networks from most elitist to Fox Sports
Prestige and journalism shouldn’t go hand-in-hand together. Sure, there are outlets with enough history and money to have ethics departments, fact-checkers, and paying subscribers, but the omnipresent tier — the ones controlling the rights to the big sports — are cost-cutting corporate slugs like th...
