Michael Jordan, Bubba Wallace unveil Chicago Bulls-themed design on new car
The 23XI racing team took another step closer to diversifying NASCAR when they announced a new design this past weekend....
No, a college football team can't beat pros, but could a Pee Wee team beat '20 Kansas? Jury's out.
With Trevor Lawrence out due to coronavirus and top-ranked Clemson needing a furious comeback from an 18-point halftime deficit to avoid being upset at home and beat Boston College, 34-28, we can put aside for a moment that classic silly question of whether the Tigers beat the New York Jets....
The 10 worst pitching changes in World Series history
Kevin Cash isn’t the only manager to blow a World Series game courtesy of a bad bullpen decision. A number of pitchers suffered the same fate as the Rays’ Ian Snell. Here’s a reminder of costly mistakes committed on baseball’s biggest stage....
For A.J. Hinch, looks like crime does pay as Tigers' gig looms
While White Sox fans, and the actual White Sox for a good portion of the time, have always considered the Cubs their main rival, the way baseball works is that your real enemy resides in the division. That’s who you compete with for playoff spots after all. So while the Sox were having their owner e...
Yasiel Puig sued for sexual assault at 2018 Lakers game
News broke late Thursday afternoon that free-agent outfielder Yasiel Puig is being sued for sexual assault....
White Sox fill manager slot by exhuming corpse of Tony La Russa
It is impossible to accurately describe how confounding the White Sox hiring of Tony La Russa as manager is. That adjective is not even close to properly illustrating the shock, confusion, and anger of just about anyone around the club today. It’s like staring at a car crash, but both vehicles were ...
Baseball’s winter of cost-savings discontent begins as cheapskate Cards cut Wong
It used to be the hot stove, and fans used to get excited about it right after the last out of the World Series. A ray of hope, provided by the wishful thinking that it could be your team ending the season on a podium with Rob Manfred as he gets booed next year. But in a preview of what’s to come ar...
Screw the rules! Our jerseys look like vomit now
The photo above is not part of an energy drink advertisement, nor is it some sort of misguided Tron cosplay. It is, in fact, the latest aesthetic for hockey’s Dallas Stars, whose apparent quest to become that city’s most toxic franchise has taken a literal turn....
Baker Mayfield needs to beat a real damn team before crowning him
It’s Trash Talking Tuesday and today I’m trashing all those who, somehow, believe Browns’ quarterback Baker Mayfield has arrived because he beat the lowly Bengals - again....
Odell Beckham tears ACL, Cowboys defense plays worse than Trump’s re-election strategy, and D.K. Metcalf wins the amazing race
After another week of monitoring COVID results, tracking injury reports, and watching the NFC East make a mockery of football, Week 7 in the NFL is nearly concluded. ...
The Dallas Cowboys are truly 'America's Team'
I and many others have lamented the exposure the Dallas Cowboys get, despite the team being a complete waste of everyone’s time. ESPN, NBC, FOX — they can’t wait to lustily paste the Star of Texas on their prime windows, and yet all the ‘Boys do is throw up masticated foodstuffs pretty much every ti...
The NFL rewards men who put their hands on women
That headline is a doozy, isn’t it?...
Antonio Brown (and Tom Brady's enabling) just latest in NFL full of problematic men — time for women to take a stand
There’s a thing men do that drives women crazy. It’s when, upon becoming fathers, they suddenly care about women, often beginning their soapbox sermons against sexism and misogyny with “as the father of a daughter . . .”...
With COVID-19 outbreaks linked to ice rinks, how will college hockey even start?
When the coronavirus pandemic hit America earlier this year, one of the first sporting events to be canceled was college hockey’s Frozen Four. It’s a sign of how badly things have gone here that it’s getting harder and harder to see the way to the event taking place in 2021, because at the moment, t...
Daniel Jones brings us all together with less threatening incompetence than debate
There wasn’t much to choose from on Thursday night, that is if you didn’t opt to stream a show you hadn’t gotten to or finished yet to shut out reality. I hear the new season of Fargo is good. If you were looking for live entertainment, your choices boiled down to which version of two balloon-handed...
Minor League Baseball players are justifiably sick of earning ‘$4 an hour’
For many hardcore baseball fans (like me, before I began researching this story), the idea of playing in Minor League Baseball is like the dream before the dream comes true. Sure, we know there are long bus rides, the pay is lousy and there’s a good chance you can end up at Sears selling Lady Kenmor...
The NFC East is bad at football - so get ready to see it showcased on Thursday night
If the NFL were high school, the NFC East is comprised of players who couldn’t make the varsity football team, so they branch off and start another “district.” All seniors but not good enough to make varsity. ...
Ex-Astros GM Jeff Luhnow assures you: I did all the good stuff, but none of the cheating
Jeff Luhnow, the disgraced, suspended, and fired general manager of the Astros, has finally spoken publicly, giving a 37-minute interview to Houston NBC affiliate KPRC. And the man who ran the team responsible for baseball’s biggest scandal in a century would like the world to know that it wasn’t hi...
Cowboys are so dreadful maybe Dak Prescott shouldn't want to come back
We had thought that Dak Prescott’s ankle crumbled under his weight and that of his tackler last Sunday. What we found out last night was it actually collapsed under the weight of carrying this wagon train of manure that’s known as the Dallas Cowboys....
