Have to see this Luka Dončić game-winner to believe it
Luka Dončić won a game looking like I do at 2 a.m. trying to get back into bed (or sometimes at 4 p.m. trying to get a burrito):...
Carlos Ródon's near perfection and some good dealing going on in Chicago
Carlos Rodón of the White Sox twirled the second no-hitter of the MLB season, and narrowly missed out on a perfect game. Two outs short of the perfecto, he hit Roberto Perez on a misplaced slider. It would have been the White Sox’s fourth perfect game — setting and new record for a franchise — and f...
Jadeveon Clowney is a great pickup for the surprisingly jacked Cleveland Browns
Shockingly, the Cleveland Browns aren’t Brownsing things up right now. Signing veteran edge rusher (and I use that term loosely) Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal worth up to $10 million is the latest in a trend of impressive and savvy moves by the Browns front office. That is, um. Different....
Manny Ramirez once confused O.J. Simpson and Chad Ogea
Don’t you just miss Manny Ramirez sometimes?...
Moving back the mound, and other rules changes we can get behind
With MLB taking over Minor League Baseball, and apparently hitting small towns worse than the death of American manufacturing, one small benefit is MLB’s newfound ability to experiment with new rules in the lower leagues it now controls. It gives the big leagues a lab, as it were, to test the effect...
Anthony Edwards not knowing A-Rod is proof that MLB has failed with young Black people
I have an honest question. ...
Jayson Tatum looks like his pre-COVID self again, but he’s not “cured” — he now has to use an inhaler
In case you’ve forgotten, Jayson Tatum is here to remind you that we’re still in a pandemic....
T-wolves president Gersson Rosas is pointed in the wrong direction
It’s obviously not an easy time in the Twin Cities, and Timberwolves president Gersson Rosas probably had his heart in the right place suggesting that the rescheduled game between the Wolves and Nets Tuesday afternoon could act as a platform for players to protest or convey just how deeply affected ...
15-year-old Olivia Moultrie could change how soccer works here
You probably haven’t heard of Olivia Moultrie. You’re going to, either on the field, or off, or both. And her name has a chance of being associated with massive change of the structure of soccer in the U.S....
Is Steph Curry top 10 all-time?
Let’s take a moment to appreciate the greatness happening in front of us....
Chicago doesn’t need your tired whataboutism, Kaycee Sogard
I don’t know Kaycee Sogard, the wife of Chicago Cubs infielder Eric Sogard. What little I do know about her, I garnered her epic, self-imposed Twitter meltdown last night, which happened, conveniently, just as the Cubs were losing to the Pirates 6-3....
Joe West wins suit vs. Paul Lo Duca in a story with no heroes
They say justice is blind, which means that’s one thing justice has in common with Joe West....
Cleveland fans react to Yu Chang’s game-ending error with racist messages
There was only one error in last night’s Cleveland-White Sox tilt. But it happened to be the defining play of the ball game. The final throw also inspired trolls on the internet to hurl racist slurs at Cleveland infielder Yu Chang....
Akil Baddoo is this year’s feel-good story you have to root for
In baseball, more than any other sport, we seem to be gifted with a player who bursts onto the scene seemingly out of nowhere. Last year, it was Randy Arozarena, particularly through his ridiculous run with Tampa Bay. To start this baseball season, carrying over from a white-hot spring training, it’...
Julian Edelman for the Hall of Fame? Please stop
Somewhere, sometime recently in sports, we went off track, down a bad road....
After lying with racists and sexists, the NWHL thought it would try transphobes, too
The NWHL was able to finish its Isobel Cup belatedly two weeks ago, as the Boston Pride beat the Minnesota Whitecaps. The league had something of a false start in the winter with their attempted bubble in Lake Placid that didn’t really bubble, the league was able to complete the playoffs in Boston....
The USWNT’s fight is with FIFA
Yesterday, the USWNT and U.S. Soccer dotted the I’s and crossed the T’s on their settlement over the amenities/facilities/training half of their dispute over equal pay. While it’s a good thing that the women’s team will have the same flights, hotels, medical and training staff as the men, the settle...
Bengals beguile broken Burrow by adding Thaddeus Moss
By now, we all know that the LSU football team in 2019 was absurdly good, right? It was arguably the best college offense ever assembled. Joe Burrow was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 draft, wide receiver Justin Jefferson was a first-round pick by Minnesota and dominated on his way to breaking t...

If Julian Edelman plays next year, you can probably guess where he’ll end up [UPDATE: HE RETIRED]
Update (5:48 p.m. Eastern): So, like, I saw this going differently in my head. Which is fine, it’s fine. Edelman announced on Twitter, roughly thirty minutes after I wrote this, that he is retiring from football. So we probably won’t be seeing him in Tampa next year, but hey. Gronk came back after a...
Overtime Elite hires Kevin Ollie as Head Coach and Director of Player Development
Before signing top high school talent, Overtime Elite just inked a deal with 13-year NBA player and NCAA championship coach Kevin Ollie....
