Difficult Super Bowl Trivia: Part 3
Last year’s Super Bowl, a 31-9 win for the Buccaneers over Kansas City, was the first time in five years that the Big Game was decided by two or more touchdowns.

Does Tom Thibodeau have any idea what to do with Cam Reddish? So far, it doesn’t look like it
Do me a favor, search “Cam Reddish” on Twitter and see what you find. Yes, I know Twitter is a place where a lot of idiotic and terrible takes call home – especially when it comes to sports, particularly the NBA. But, now and then, people come together in unity to form one tribe – like we all did on...

If you thought John Stockton’s COVID opinions were wild this summer, wait till you see what he has to say now
Internet brain rot has claimed another public figure. John Stockton is so firm in his anti-vax and anti-mask stance that the college program he is the most famous face of, Gonzaga — a place he grew up blocks away from, where his father played football, a place from which he was No. 16 overall pick i...

Since the NBA gave Grayson Allen a slap on the wrist for his violent behavior, what do you think the Bulls will do to him?
Alex Caruso’s wrist is broken. He is going to miss the next 6-8 weeks of action for the Bulls.

If this seems a bit imbalanced to you, it’s because you have common sense....

SEC out to conquer more than football as Auburn hoops is No. 1 for first time in school history

Rams desperate to keep 49ers fans out of SoFi Stadium
Poor L.A. Rams. Their return to Los Angeles has been a rousing success.

Sounds like all the makings of a trip to the ...

Cooper Kupp is the NFL’s most valuable player — he just won’t win it because it’s a QB award like the Heisman
Since value is defined as something of “great worth,” it means that Cooper Kupp is just that — ask Rams fans. After a season in which he led the NFL in receptions (145), receiving touchdowns (16), and receiving yards (1,947) — the receiver Triple Crown — Kupp caught 9 passes for 183 yards and one to...

I don’t care if it’s loser talk
Generally as a fandom, when all you have is to delight in the follies of your rival, it means you have nothing of your own. The actual act is an admission of defeat, a lesser position. You’ve been beaten, humiliated, rendered to the sidelines, and all you can do is just watch and hope that the team(...

Packers' fans enraged over Nick Bosa peeing on the bleachers of local practice field
For several years now, whenever the 49ers have visited the Packers, they’ve stayed in Appleton, a 23-mile bus ride from Lambeau Field.

In the win-now bowl, the loser faces a fast-approaching, not-so-bright future
For the past two years, the Rams and Bucs have been operating like they’re LeBron James and they just got to L.A. While the Bucs signed their big-name QB, the Rams took out another mortgage on their future, trading quite a bit for Matthew Stafford....
