Bob Brenly has always been a turd
This story can be done pretty much every season, and it’s so fucking tired, but yet you can’t help but be surprised at its regularity. Bob Brenly complains about modern baseball in a not-all-that-vaguely racist way. Last night’s target was Marcus Stroman:...

The entire state of Arizona put forth a combined effort to help one couple, and still couldn't keep them together

Nathan MacKinnon’s helmet toss sums up the Arizona Coyotes
I’ve had my share of fun at the expense of the Coyotes and will continue to do so as they continue to be the dopey buzzard of NHL, and really all sports teams.

For the 47th time, just let the Coyotes die [UPDATED]
There is a Sliding Doors scenario, where the NHL simply let Jim Balsillie buy the Arizona Coyotes and move them to Hamilton, Ontario, more than a decade ago. Would it have worked? Hard to know. Balsillie’s BlackBerry tanked not too long after the proposed buy-date, and could have led to a host of pr...

Wildcats lose by 63, Gators squander tight game by throwing shoe
Putting up the first winless season in school history, even in a pandemic year, and capping it with a 70-7 loss to your top rival is a surefire way to lose your job as a college football coach, and that’s exactly what happened to Kevin Sumlin, who got fired by Arizona on Saturday, following the Wild...

If we must have sports right now, weird is definitely the way to go
This college football season is an exercise in madness, but it’s continuing to be weirdly historic....

Kyler Murray & scrappy Cards follow the script, but lose the plot late vs. Seahawks
If you love narratives, and any producer of a sports broadcast most certainly does, Thursday night’s NFL game had the most easy-to-reach one imaginable. Fox got two teams at the top of their division standings, one the old stand-by in Seattle, the other the up-and-coming young team with the momentum...

Coyotes sniff out kudos for renouncing racist bully, deserve howls of disgust for picking him at all
The Arizona Coyotes would like to think that renouncing the rights to their fourth-round pick Mitchell Miller, after it became public that four years ago he had been convicted of bullying a developmentally challenged Black classmate and calling him racial slurs — to a disgusting degree — shines them...

Arizona Coyotes draft racist dickhead
The Arizona Coyotes aren’t good at anything. Their on-ice product has sucked for a decade. They bilked Glendale into paying for their arena, but forgot that no one wants to drive to Glendale to see their shit-ass product....

DeAndre Hopkins 'swerves' through MAGA caravan in Ferrari, middle fingers up
Part of the reason we love sports is watching girls and guys live out dreams that we’re not capable of. And sometimes they do it in more of a baller fashion than we’ve ever conceived. Most of it takes place on the field — a great play with a dash of swag that only comes from the confidence of being ...

Momentum is tomorrow’s starting pitcher and other drugs
It’s one of the oldest cliches in baseball, which means it’s one of the oldest cliches in American society. But it happens to be true. Whatever happens in the previous game doesn’t really carry over. We just assign that after the fact when it fits to try and make sense of a game that rarely doesn’t ...
