You have to make a show o...

The NFL preseason is the scariest time of year for pro football fans. Yes, we’re all excited to see live football once again, but it also means there’s a greater chance that we’ll see one of our favorite players go down with an injury. Well, 2021 just took its first victim. ...
Is Larry Fitzgerald calling it?
Arizona Cardinals all-world wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is known for having one of the more impeccable work ethics of any player to ever grace an NFL field. During his 17-year career, Fitzgerald has been praised for being diligent both on and off the field. But after 17 seasons, it seems like pla...
Why does one inning make such a difference?
Unless you actually talk to a White Sox fan here in town, things are pretty serene for the Pale Hose.

Emmanuel Acho’s infatuation with dissing Sha’Carri Richardson/Black women is problematic and corny
Every now and then, sports produce a lightning rod. A polarizing athlete that encompasses all of society’s triggers – race, gender, and creed. Usually, that athlete is Black, which means that invisible battle lines can be drawn down the middle – dividing us by skin color. But, every so often, that a...
