Curt Schilling is a fraud....
With A-Rod and Big Papi on ballot next year, gatekeepers of Cooperstown will face a reckoning
Just as most writers want, to get the affirmation they apparently crave by denying millionaires access to a club, no one will enter the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer. Once again, they have kept the sanctuary safe from the heathen of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, as they see it. They won’t get t...
Curt Schilling’s putrid mouth continues to keep him out of Cooperstown…. good
The good news is that Curt Schilling isn’t going into the Hall of Fame this summer. In fact, no new players will be joining last year’s class of inductees this summer in Cooperstown after the results of the Baseball Writers Association of America’s balloting were announced Tuesday evening....
Which Clipper will step up fantasy production without Leonard, George, or Beverley?
Three games tonight, and the best one features the New York Knicks. God bless if tonight’s a big gambling night for you because this is one of the season’s worst evenings on paper so far. No, it’s not because of the Knicks: Their match-up with the Utah Jazz saves this from being downright abysmal. T...
Aaron Rodgers is in the middle of a midlife crisis
The end of any season sends every player into a reflective period. Well, except for maybe Gronk. So let’s say it sends every player who can spell “reflective” into a reflective period. Months of work, hours of anticipation, to what ends up being the last game, and the assuredness that it all led to ...
Tom Brady has been to more Super Bowls than every franchise in the NFL except…the Patriots
Ten has always been a number of completion....
Why the hell did Matt LaFleur elect to kick a field goal?
With a Super Bowl berth hanging in the balance, down eight points to the greatest quarterback of all time, this year’s presumptive MVP under center, Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur opted to kick a field goal with 2:09 left in the game. It was fourth-and-goal from the eight yard line. ...
Just contract the Pirates already
I know how that sounds. Just another big market resident showing up just long enough, take a brief look around, turn my nose up, and declare Pittsburgh not worth the time. ...
Deadspin’s Championship Sunday ATS picks you can bank on
The NFL insisted on playing football for a season and now we get more chalk. So if it’s “normalcy” you seek in 2021, rejoice, you’ll see a lot of familiar faces today....
Colts offer Matthew Stafford best, fresh start as he & Lions part ways (& a peek at where else could work)
The Matthew Stafford era in Detroit is apparently coming to a close, as the two sides have mutually agreed to part ways after Stafford reportedly asked to be traded. As it stands, the Lions will start the 2021 season with a new General Manager, Head Coach, Offensive Coordinator, and quarterback. ...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Don’t listen to Shaq, Donovan Mitchell deserves his due
Who else watched the TNT broadcast on Thursday night and thought, “Damn, do I really watch more basketball than Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley?” Then again, some of y’all have probably felt that way for years. (The terrifying thing is many of you might be correct.) ...
The life of Hank Aaron in photos
Hank Aaron had a remarkable career and distinguished life. The kid from Mobile, Ala. lived a good life, despite the hardships of racism and the many death threats he received as he sought to break Babe Ruth’s hallowed home run record, a feat he achieved in April of 1974. ...
From White House visits to NCAA reform, what should sports expect from a Joe Biden administration?
President Biden doesn’t seem to care about sports as much as his predecessor, and that’s probably a good thing....
NFL doesn't give Black QBs the same opportunities
In football, there is no position more coveted than that of the starting quarterback. The quarterback is the leader, the facilitator, the field general for an offense. He is the engine that makes the team go. It is on his shoulders — literally — to determine the production and success of a football ...
SEE IT: Newport County keeper scores from Narnia, sets new record
There’s few things hockey fans love more than a goalie goal. You might get one per season, and they’re met with joyous celebrations, as we’ve all just seen something rare and beautiful. Like the perfect breakfast sandwich where the egg yolk runoff is still contained within the sandwich (yes, I’m hun...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Steph Curry will save you on this limited game-night
Much like a couple of nights ago, the slate tonight is thinner than your life-span when flying an airplane in Grand Theft Auto V. Seriously, even nearly eight years later I still can’t get the hang of it. Sucks when virtual condos just get in your way sometimes. ...
As sports world feels the Bern of inauguration meme, Caps feel burn of more NHL COVID protocol theater
The NHL isn’t dealing with anything the other leagues haven’t already. On a day when the NBA had to postpone its sixth straight game for the Wizards, the NHL took the MLB route and pinned the blame on the players. Four Capital players were placed on the COVID unavailable list — Alex Ovechkin, Ilya S...
The Cubs quietly tolerated Jared Porter’s sliminess for years
Jared Porter is out as general manager of the Mets, and that’s good. The new ownership in New York promised accountability, and after ESPN’s detailed report Monday night on Porter’s harassment of a reporter with dozens of text messages, including a dick pic, Porter was given the heave-ho on Tuesday ...
NBA Daily Fantasy: With tiny two-game slate, now is not the night to avoid Nikola Jokic
The amount of fingers Kendrick Lamar tells you to put in the air during HiiiPower is higher than the amount of NBA games scheduled for tonight. Fret not, misled degenerate, that makes the evening more enticing, not less. If you subscribe to the preference of being a big fish in a small pond, these t...
Tom Brady remains the L.O.A.T. — Luckiest Of All Time
The false narrative will be ramped up....
