Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson wants another NFL team in the metroplex... Jerry Jones does not
Apparently, Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson is ready for a battle with one Jerry Jones. In response to a Tweet posted by the NFL on CBS, posing the question of which city deserves the next NFL expansion team, Johnson promptly answered Dallas. ...
NFL teams lose it on Twitter as Brady unretires
Tom Brady is back, and while that news has been the cause of some confusion and dismay for opposing fans and teams, it’s also given NFL Twitter some solid comedic content....
Discriminatory hiring practices in the NFL aren't limited to head coaches
The only thing more ridiculous than the money TV networks are throwing at guys to be analysts is the fact that a Black man has never had one of those coveted longtime gigs....
A modern tragedy: Chad Johnson wants to get breakfast
All Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson wanted was to get some breakfast. He’d flown all the way to Las Vegas for an opportunity to be around the best players in the NFL today, and all he wanted was to congratulate a few of the guys who’d earned the Pro Bowl title this season and perhaps treat them to a nice m...
TNT looks to keep legacy of teetering on the edge with signing of Barkley 2.0: Draymond Green
Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green really tapped into something a couple of years ago during his war of words with Hall of Famer and TNT analyst Charles Barkley. Turner Sports was so impressed with Green’s brash opinionated style that they struck up a relationship, and now it’s been announ...
If you ever wanted to be an NFL player, this was your year
Tuf Borland, Mac McCain, Luther Kirk, Paul Quessenberry, and Pooka Williams all joined an elite group this year. Not many people can say that they have played in an NFL game, but these five men all did exactly that this season....
You ever watch two teams try to lose?
It used to be, long ago, when things made slightly more sense and RC Cola was a thing, that Monday Night Football was the premier game of the week. Which made it a great mystery why ABC would subject the nation to Dan Dierdorf blabbering about something at best tangentially connected to what went on...
NFL Week 15: Four straight days of games with COVID taking over
The NFL, despite all its ongoing problems with CTE, horrible additions to the rulebook, and comically bad press with the likes of Jon Gruden and Dan Snyder, did have one thing going for it throughout the 2021 season: They hadn’t had a serious COVID outbreak....
This 17-game NFL schedule is terrible, just like the process of trying to buy Air Jordans
With the world trying to muster up some cheer in another holiday season dampened by COVID, I personally would like to offer a sincere bah-humbug to the NFL and the SNKRS app. I didn’t want much last weekend, just a spec of pre-Christmas. Instead, I received two lumps of coal with an unofficial SNKRS...
The sports world has gone silent even as discrimination is apparent in Ahmaud Arbery and Kyle Rittenhouse cases
The kneeling has stopped. The messaging on the backs of jerseys has been replaced with last names. Black Lives Matter isn’t plastered on the court. And journalists have ceased asking “those questions” after games. But, the pain is still there – and the racism, too....
This NBA-<i>Succession</i> mashup will have you from the opening piano chord
Rise and shine, it’s NBA day....
Who will succeed Bill Belichick/Logan Roy?
“Succession” is back, and everyone is amped to glorify rich assholes again. The fervor for its highly anticipated return is usually reserved for things like the McRib, mask-free vacations (still waiting on this one), the “Spider-Man: No Way Home” trailer or, as this post would have it, the NFL seaso...
Okay, who thought a MNF Wild Card Game was a good idea?
Monday Night Football is great… for the fans. We always appreciate an extra night of NFL football. For the teams involved though, it’s not very appealing. Sure, it gives those teams an extra day to prepare for their opponent, but it also gives them one fewer day to prepare for their opponent the fol...
Did you know, Did you know, Did you know, a Jordan Brand executive has a dark but important story to tell
Temple graduate, MBA from LaSalle, 10 years with Nike, former president of the Portland Trail Blazers, and boasting a CAA Speakers profile, this is how you would expect a Jordan Brand executive’s resume to read. That resume belongs to Larry Miller, chairman of the company’s advisory board. However, ...
The NHL returned to ESPN, so here’s what it lacked
The NHL returned to ESPN on Tuesday night, with the self-proclaimed World Wide Leader celebrating itself and especially the old ESPN hockey theme....
Sage Steele tests positive for COVID, because of course she did
I guess I’m surprised Sage Steele stopped emanating bullshit for long enough to actually inhale to get COVID-19, but I suppose even the most oxygen-deprived need a base level to remain upright:...
Why in the name of all that’s holy are the Lions playing on MNF?
After an instant classic in Week 1 on Monday Night Football, the Week 2 matchup of Green Bay and Detroit is sure to be a letdown by comparison. Well, that is, for anyone who isn’t a Packers fan. This division game against an inferior Lions squad should be more than enough to help get Aaron Rodgers a...
Please enjoy these visuals of sports broadcasting’s diversity problem
It’s nearly fall, which means it’s time for outlets that carry football games to dazzle us with their broadcast teams and assignments!...
SEE IT: Olympic skateboarder falls nuts first into rail
You probably don’t know the name Vinko Bogataj, but if you’re a sports fan of a certain age, you’ve seen him in action more times than you can count....
Gobble it up! Here’s the NFL’s Week 1 and Thanksgiving schedules
We’re months away from NFL kickoff and you probably have some questions heading into the 2021 season. Some have easy answers like, will fans be allowed? Or, can I actually club in the new Raiders stadium? Yes and Yes! Unh-sss-uhn-sss-uhn-sss…...
