We don’t want to know where Brock Purdy keeps that horseshoe hidden
The most annoying thing about Brock Purdy, and there’s more than a few, is the idea that the Niners planned all of this. ...
Buddy Hield is the type of player who could tilt the odds in a contender’s favor
If there’s any NBA trading block resident who deserves to transition to a contender this season, it’s not James Harden or Damian Lillard, it’s newcomer Buddy Hield. At least Dame Time has advanced to the brink of a Conference Finals. Hield has never even sailed the postseason waters. His 548 games p...
The NFL’s new flex rules are helpless against this season’s national TV slate
There are so many more interesting teams than the New York Jets and Giants, Denver Broncos, and Chicago Bears, but from now through Thanksgiving, NFL fans will be subjected to those franchises 13 times on national TV. It’s early, and there’s still time to course correct, yet after just two weeks, th...
Mel Tucker keeps overlooking his own words in this he-said-she-said with Brenda Tracy
I have no idea if Mel Tucker thought things were consensual — or if he even asked. I’m clueless when it comes to knowing if Brenda Tracy had a motive. But what I, and you, know is that Mel Tucker owned up to doing what he did — making “sexual comments” about Tracy while “masturbating” during a “late...
Woe is a Chicago Bears fan
It’s obvious a fandom is completely beaten down and without hope when all they ask for is for their team to just be bad and unnoticeable. ...
The Denver Broncos are picking up where they left off last year
New Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton’s tenure in the Mile High City is off to a rocky start. His team lost the first two games of the season by a combined three points against Las Vegas and Washington, respectively. The offense looks to be moving in the right direction under Payton, but now the...
Boston College hit with hazing scandal
Boston College has placed its men’s and women’s swimming and diving teams on an indefinite suspension after the university’s leadership found there was rampant hazing in the program, the school announced Wednesday. ...

Chicago Bears defensive coordinator Alan Williams resigns amid rumors [Updated]
After starting the season 0-2, things got a whole lot worse for the Chicago Bears on Wednesday....
Just how far can the Orioles go?
It would be folly to pin too much on just a handful of games, no matter how good the Baltimore Orioles have looked. But then again, October doesn’t really adhere to trends or reason or logic either. When you get to this point in the season and try to look forward, you can throw darts at stardust, an...
Deshaun Watson rewards Cleveland Browns by also being awful <i>on</i> the field
In 2022, the Cleveland Browns sent three first-round picks, a third-round pick, and two fourth-round picks to the Houston Texans to acquire quarterback Deshaun Watson, whom they promptly rewarded with a fully guaranteed, five-year, $230 million deal. Not only that, the franchise stood by him during ...
<i>Winning Time</i> is the latest casualty of David Zaslav’s sports media bloodbath at WBD
On Monday, the guillotine hovering over HBO’s Winning Time finally dropped when the series joined a growing collection of shows canceled by the network. Declining ratings and criticism from its stars, who insisted that Adam McKay’s Lakers series based on Jeff Pearlman’s biographical account, turned ...
The New England Patriots have a losing record since Tom Brady left
The Pips were nothing without Gladys Knight. The Jackson Five wasn’t the same without Michael. Bill Belichick and the New England Patriots are an average football team — at best — without Tom Brady....
The umpires strike back
There is no longer season than the MLB one, and it’s understandable that just about everyone is at the end of their rope and not ready to deal with any sort of guff from any sort of swine. ...
Is there any point in playing this Champions League?
Nope, not really! But my editors and management insist that these posts are longer than three words, so I guess I’ll have to explain. If Manchester City waltzed to last year’s trophy, only really sweating in the final for about an hour against a stubborn Inter, they very well may never get out of a ...
Curses are real. Just ask these NFL teams
Superstition in sports has been around for ages and has only gotten worse....
Wait, did Phil Mickelson just humblebrag in his gambling PSA?
The football season is upon us, and at least one notable fan can’t fully participate: Phil Mickelson. While you’re probably saying, “Duh, he’s a golfer,” let me explain. Normally, the face of LIV Golf would be wallowing with the other degenerates, tracking juicy lines, and calling in three-team parl...
‘Missing’ former NFL player Sergio Brown is posting bizarre videos from Mexico following his mother’s murder
At least one part of the mystery surrounding former Patriot and journeyman safety Sergio Brown is solved. It appears Brown is safe and sound in Mexico City, following a since-deleted Instagram post that tagged his location and several more this morning that appear to mock law enforcement’s attempts ...
