Al Michaels phased out for nepo baby
After 17 years of legendary calls, Al Michaels has officially been completely phased out of NBC’s NFL coverage. According to the New York Post, Michaels is out of NBC’s NFL playoff coverage. ...
Ja Morant speaks for the first time about punching teen in face during pick-up game
He pulled up his shorts. That was how Ja Morant explained why he punched a teenager in the face during a game of pickup basketball at his Memphis home in July of 2022. Joshua Holloway, who was 17 at the time of the incident, is suing Morant for hitting him after a game of basketball turned violent, ...
There is nothing wrong with Shohei Ohtani's salary deferment
The numbers finally came in on Shohei Ohtani’s deal with the Dodgers and the Dodgers finally announced it themselves, and it’s a bit of a doozy. Ohtani will be deferring $68 million of his $70 million annual salary until the 10 years after his 10-year deal. The $2 million salary is fine for him give...
Monday night's doubleheader was everything that is great about football
Part of football’s charm is its unpredictability. “Any given Sunday,” is more than a cliche. It is a phrase that accurately describes the sport as long as you’re not literal about the day of the week. There are a large number of moving parts attempting to work in unison while being slammed into by o...
Who’s your money on in a race: DK Metcalf or Tyreek Hill?
Football is a game where some competitors thrive on trash talk. It’s like verbal sparring adds the extra motivation needed to complete the task at hand. Usually, we see these exchanges between offensive and defensive players in some form. But sometimes, we get players within the same positional grou...
The numbers don’t lie: Steph, Klay and Dray’s Golden State Gilded Age is over
Around 2017, I realized I was behind the curve by using free Pandora. I still kept my account for another few years out of an irrational attachment to it, long after everyone else had matriculated away from Pandora digital radio towards Spotify. That’s how it feels watching Golden State try to count...
So how much does Shohei Ohtani really improve the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2024?
Much like Susie Izzard (Drink!) says chiropractors “LIVE FOR THE NOISE!” I too live for the noise of the offseason. We can’t get much more than Shohei Ohtani and his reps donated to us, or at least their methods of sending the baseball press into orbit did. There should be much more to come, but the...
It's still hard to trust the Dallas Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys finally showed up and not only beat, but dominated, a top-tier opponent on Sunday night in Week 14. Big D put a certified beatdown on Philadelphia, 33-13, in a game the Cowboys controlled from start to finish. Dak Prescott and the Cowboys took all the doubt and threw it back in th...
God, I’m sick of the Kansas City Chiefs
Full disclosure, I’ve never been on board with the Kansas City Chiefs. Sure, they were, for a while, the best team in America, with a young and exciting generational talent under center and a head coach who never had to answer for anything because he wears Hawaiian shirts, has a funny mustache, and ...
These are the holiday films certain NBA fanbases need to watch this season
Christmas is the ultimate overlap of entertainment and sports. The year’s blockbusters are typically reserved for release on Christmas Day, with a slew of big-budget and indie hits releasing all month. Christmas Day sees the league’s best rivalries matched up for primetime holiday viewing. ...
Suddenly, the Lions, Eagles and Chiefs are staring at the panic button
There are four weeks remaining in the NFL regular season. I know what many of you are thinking: “Damn, I have to buy Christmas presents already. Maybe I shouldn’t have spent that weekend in Vegas at the end of the summer.” Credit cards are about to be burning the next couple of weeks, but this time ...
I’m sorry your wide receiver is a moron, Patrick Mahomes
While it’s hard to resist the temptation to point out noticing when a team that has Matt Nagy anywhere near it is melting down, because I know it oh, so well, the Kansas City Chiefs have bigger problems than that. When everyone is blaming the refs over a totally correct call, it’s pretty obvious the...
Baltimore Ravens turn to Lamar Jackson and come up big over Los Angeles Rams
The Baltimore Ravens are a far better offensive team than they were last season, especially in the second half. They showed it in a thrilling 37-31 overtime victory against the Los Angeles Rams. The Ravens needed a special teams play, and some questionable officiating, for a 76-yard punt return for ...
Zach Wilson keeps thriving when expectations are low
Intermittently, Zach Wilson is capable of balling out. He can’t consistently progress through reads and hit open receivers, but occasionally, his fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants quarterbacking rewards Jets fans with a rare gem. On Sunday, New York turned back to Wilson after benching him for the third...
The roast of LeBron James took place on social media following the NBA Cup championship game
There’s a saying in the social media world about the internet being undefeated. So, while Father Time chases after LeBron James, the internet takes pride in tackling the King to the ground every chance it gets. This time, they’ve captured him after James and the Lakers secured a victory Saturday nig...
LeBron James proved the Lakers still have life by winning the NBA’s early bird special tournament
The Los Angeles Lakers added another trophy to their overflowing stockpile, LeBron James added another accolade to his stuffed resume and all’s right with the world. After Shohei Ohtani joined the Dodgers, the City of Champions had even more reason to celebrate Saturday when the Lakers ran away with...
Bills, Chiefs renew rivalry in Week 14 with both squads desperate for a win
In Week 14, one of the best rivalries in recent memory gets renewed when the Buffalo Bills travel to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. However, this year’s meeting has a much different meaning than past battles. The Bills have had the Chiefs’ number in the regular season for the past two years (the...
The MLB media had a very normal week
Ever watched an entire industry have an existential crisis? That was the baseball media around and during the MLB Winter Meetings....
Jayden Daniels’ eye-popping stats enough in a season short on Heisman moments
Congratulations to Jayden Daniels on his Heisman win. He, and the abysmal LSU defense, were the reasons why the Bayou Bengals were so much fun to watch this season. As was the case in 2022-23, the winner of college football’s most prestigious award was accompanied by poor coaching, bad defense, or b...
What could have been if Shohei Ohtani signed with the Blue Jays
Shohei Ohtani has just signed the largest contract in baseball history. 10 years for $700 million with the Los Angeles Dodgers. ...
