Super Bowl LVIII: Forget the moneyline, make these prop bets instead
This is the Super Bowl made for gambling. The American Gaming Association estimates that Americans will wager a combined $23.1 billion on the Big Game this year, up from $16 billion year-over-year. Whether it’s your first time betting on the big game or you’re a seasoned vet, you don’t want to be pl...
From Paige Bueckers to JuJu Watkins, it would be great if women could go one-and-done
The men had Kyrie Irving, Jayson Tatum, Zion Williamson, and Anthony Davis. The women should have had Paige Bueckers then, and JuJu Watkins now. But, according to the rules, they can’t....
Tell us how you really feel, Woody
New York Jets owner Woody Johnson put head coach Robert Saleh and GM Joe Douglas on notice — while also putting QB Zach Wilson on blast — during a red carpet interview at last night’s NFL Honors awards show....
In soccer, yellow mixed with orange now equals . . . blue?
There is a throughline to some joke about a player in the future being shown a blue card and then having an arduous and impatient wait to be released out of a penalty box/sin bin. I’m clearly too mature to make such a joke. ...
Late-stage capitalism has made the Super Bowl too expensive even for the millionaires
Unfettered capitalism is putting some restraints on the top one percent enjoying one of its biggest parties of the year. With the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, luxury suites have reached the highest of high-roller prices. These seven-figure suites are out of the price range for even some of the biggest s...
The NBA trade deadline was a bit of a dud, but here's a look at who won and who flopped horribly
After last year’s insane trade deadline, which featured Kevin Durant being dealt to the Phoenix Suns, this year brought a bunch of smaller, shrewd moves that moved teams into contention. We have tracked the trades and broken them down by time-tested winners and losers rubric to track how the day wen...
Life comes at you fast, Mama Kelce
The run-up to this year’s Super Bowl has been bereft of a few notable storylines. There’s barely any talk about X’s and O’s, only a little prognosticating on Patrick Mahomes’ legacy, and almost zero chatter about the most famous non-football participant from last year’s Big Game: Donna Kelce. ...
Doc Rivers could screw up a one-car funeral. That's what the Bucks are turning into
So, now that we’ve had a couple of weeks to digest things and get all the Doc Rivers 3-1 lead jokes out of our systems, it’s time to get down to business. Now that Milwaukee has played a few games and had some time with their new head coach, it’s painfully clear that this catastrophe is the definiti...
The non-Mahomes, Purdy players to watch in Super Bowl LVIII
You know the big names of this Super Bowl matchup already. There’s no need to talk about Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy anymore, treating a 53-on-53-man matchup like it’s a one-on-one boxing match. We’ve gotten enough coverage of the Travis Kelces and the Christian McCaffreys of this game. ...
The Swifties Guide to Super Bowl LVIII
With the Super Bowl getting closer, one of the biggest storylines is not about the teams or the players, but about Taylor Swift and her presence at the games. Some people hate seeing her there — namely conservatives — and think she is ruining football, while others are watching football for the firs...
Read the room, USA Hockey
As you may have heard after considerable wailing from players and at least the Canadian fanbase who need anything to feel good about themselves these days, the NHL has finally reinstituted an international calendar for not only the Olympics but eventually a World Cup the next few years. The latter w...

Rex Ryan to Dallas would be either the greatest or worst move of all time
Now that Dan Quinn is in Washington, the Dallas Cowboys have an important opening to fill at defensive coordinator. There are a few qualified candidates out there without an NFL gig, but one of the most intriguing (for many reasons) is current ESPN analyst, Rex Ryan. After several years on televisio...
Keeping track of all the NBA trades before the deadline ends
The NBA Trade Deadline is officially upon us. While the deadline may not be as exciting as years past with big stars going on the move, it’s a deadline that’s as important as any in recent memory. Both conferences are up for grabs, with no real contender running away with it. Can someone make a move...
Patrick Mahomes is making a run at Tom Brady's legacy of excellence
Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes are the alpha and omega of NFL supremacy at the NFL’s most important position. With every passing season, Mahomes creeps closer and closer to Brady’s legacy of excellence. There’s only so much Mahomes can do in one Super Bowl though. ...
San Francisco 49ers have a health advantage over the Chiefs in the Super Bowl
Even with the bye week, there is no way that San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are at their healthiest going into Super Bowl LVIII. They have been popping pads against the rest of the NFL for 19-20 weeks. Extensive treatment and rehab will be necessary to get those bodies back to optimum he...
An ode to Devin Hester, one of the few things about the Bears you can't mock
I have to sit here throughout the football season, and now even a month afterwards, and read all the other jackasses on this staff say stuff about the Bears. None of them are from here, most of it’s wrong, and even if it’s correct what gives them the right? Everyone’s got a goddamn thought and none ...
Dan Marino believes the Dolphins have their Super Bowl QB
Dan Marino is probably the biggest star in Miami Dolphins history. He reached rock star level in the 1980s and 1990s as quarterback for Miami despite never winning the big one. So, when Marino talks, fans usually listen, especially those located near South Beach. Marino joined Adam Schein on Sirius ...

Diversity in hiring is working for the 49ers, and other NFL teams don't like it
