Cam Newton Has Reached The Summit
You could see what the Giants were trying to do to Cam Newton on Sunday. From the very first play of the game, the plan was to blitz him as much as possible, get him on the ground, and try to knock him out of his rhythm. In some ways the plan, which has worked before, was a success—Newton was sacked...
Odell Beckham Jr. Should Have Been Ejected
Despite the headline, this isn’t a hot take. I’m not trying to convince you of anything. It’s a statement of fact, really: given Beckham’s increasingly violent tantrums, culminating in a legitimately dangerous after-the-whistle hit on Josh Norman, he had absolutely no business being in that football...

OBJ And The Panthers Cornerbacks Are Staging A Boxing Match In The Middle Of A Football Game
Odell Beckham Jr.’s matchup today with Josh Norman, perhaps the best corner in the game this year, is one of the coolest one-on-one matchups we’ve seen all year. On the Giants’ fourth play from scrimmage, Beckham burned Norman, and then dropped a perfectly good touchdown. A few plays later in the qu...
The Pelicans Are A Goddamn Mess
Remember when Anthony Davis was a sexy MVP pick, everyone was praising the Alvin Gentry hire, and the Pelicans looked like a lock to make the playoffs and maybe even do something once they got there? That looks foolishly optimistic now, as the team is 7-19, closer to the Lakers than anyone else in t...
Retired Showboater Richard Dent Claims He'd Knock Cam Newton On His Ass For Celebrating
Every time an athlete gets excited about kicking ass at their job, you’ll hear the chorus of traditionalists and outsiders jawing about how no professional athletes should celebrate because of the hallowed sanctity of the game they play that makes billionaires richer. Cam Newton in particular is a ...
Tom Brady Is A Hilarious Moron
There was an old episode of The Larry Sanders Show that aired right during the peak of the O.J. Simpson murder trial hysteria. And in the episode, Hank Kingsley (as played by the brilliant Jeffery Tambor) tells the rest of the staff that he thinks O.J., his neighbor, is innocent of murder. Why? Beca...

Kobe Understands Kobe Better Than Anyone Else
It’s Star Wars day in America, where everyone gets asked something about Star Wars (Me? Glad you asked. My answer is that I’m excited for Star Wars.) Kobe Bryant handled his question today with cold honesty befitting a Dark Lord of the Sith....

Rajon Rondo's Statement Looks A Lot Like Kobe Bryant's Statement
The NBA suspended Sacramento Kings guard Rajon Rondo for one game without pay after he called referee Bill Kennedy a “faggot” in a Dec. 3 game. (Kennedy publicly came out after the incident.) Rondo tweeted a statement, which wasn’t actually an apology, but the weirdest part is that his statement rea...
The Josh Norman-Rodney Harrison Beef Is So Excellent Right Now
Josh Norman just might be the best corner in football right now, and is certainly the most visible player on a fantastic defense that hasn’t let the Panthers lose a game yet. But former NFL safety and NBC analyst Rodney Harrison is not quite as impressed as Norman thinks he should be. The two have b...
