Who is the next QB of the 49ers? Could be Aaron Rodgers
Of course the San Francisco 49ers and their effing No. 3 overall pick, of which has been essentially the bane of my existence while simultaneously occupying far too much of my headspace for the last three weeks, are at the center of the biggest potential drama just hours ahead of the draft. Aaron Ro...
The Mavericks have time to figure out what a Luka-KP led contender looks like, or if one even can
When Googling the phrase “Dončić Porzingis,” the first hits all direct you to stories about their relationship, chemistry, and beef.

Joe Rogan is, and has always been, nothin' but a whiner
While he’s tried to couch it in the most macho things he can think of — UFC, scotch, steak, being “manly,” — it’s important to remember that what Joe Rogan has always been is a whiner.
