The most scandalous things to happen at the Super Bowl
The NFL wants you to watch the game on the field, but sometimes the most memorable things about the Super Bowl are incidental to the game. The media fanfare, halftime show, and colorful cast of hangers-on make for endless possibilities for moments the NFL would rather we forget....
Will Clint Capela’s historic four-game fantasy stretch continue against Brooklyn?
Sometimes your targets are so far below your price range that you laugh at how easily you’ll take them. And in other instances, the bookkeepers raise their value so much, causing you to contemplate reevaluating your choices. That happened to some degree here, but still, I’m sticking to it. FanDuel i...
Which Clipper will step up fantasy production without Leonard, George, or Beverley?
Three games tonight, and the best one features the New York Knicks. God bless if tonight’s a big gambling night for you because this is one of the season’s worst evenings on paper so far. No, it’s not because of the Knicks: Their match-up with the Utah Jazz saves this from being downright abysmal. T...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Don’t listen to Shaq, Donovan Mitchell deserves his due
Who else watched the TNT broadcast on Thursday night and thought, “Damn, do I really watch more basketball than Shaquille O’Neal and Charles Barkley?” Then again, some of y’all have probably felt that way for years. (The terrifying thing is many of you might be correct.) ...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Steph Curry will save you on this limited game-night
Much like a couple of nights ago, the slate tonight is thinner than your life-span when flying an airplane in Grand Theft Auto V. Seriously, even nearly eight years later I still can’t get the hang of it. Sucks when virtual condos just get in your way sometimes. ...
NBA Daily Fantasy: With tiny two-game slate, now is not the night to avoid Nikola Jokic
The amount of fingers Kendrick Lamar tells you to put in the air during HiiiPower is higher than the amount of NBA games scheduled for tonight. Fret not, misled degenerate, that makes the evening more enticing, not less. If you subscribe to the preference of being a big fish in a small pond, these t...
Mets fire creep Jared Porter hours after report of his sex harassment
It had been one of the few Mets offseasons with a glow. A new owner who, at least at the moment, wants to run the team like it should be run. The acquisition of possibly the most fun player in the league in Francisco Lindor. But this is the Mets, and stepping on a rake is never more than two strides...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Who to watch for on a loaded MLK Day slate
Nine games scheduled; we’ll see if that stands. Hopefully you’re reading this before noon, otherwise, you’ll have missed the Knicks vs. the Magic. If you did that on purpose, I’d understand. (The Knicks are pretty fun so far, though!) Anyway, we’ll begin tonight across the bridge from them in Brookl...
Alabama provides yet another COVID-era chalk title
With the added obstacle of a pandemic, you’d think we would be ripe for surprises. The greater protocols, disrupted or interrupted preparation schedules, the increased pressure based on not really being able to do anything else (not to mention the mental strain), the shortened seasons increasing the...

Here’s a look at the athletes and sports figures we’ve lost in 2021....
If ‘small-market’ teams like the Cubs can't make it, what hope is there?
If this is the reality of baseball, then something about the system needs to change. Trades of top talent for prospects are nothing new in the game, of course, but you don’t expect to see the teams giving up on frontline starting pitchers to be making those trades when they’re in the middle of a win...

Dwayne Haskins caught maskless with strippers, future deservedly in jeopardy [Updated]
So apparently, Washington Football Team quarterback Dwayne Haskins likes strippers more than his career. After losing to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, Haskins decided to party it up — maskless — with some ladies at a local jiggle joint....
The NFL wants to target kids with a Nickelodeon broadcast, but they’ll get nostalgic adults instead
It’s no secret that the NFL wants a piece of the younger demographic. But SpongeBob graphics and slime won’t cut it....
Josh Jacobs impishly delights in pissing off fantasy football managers
In one of the trolliest moments of the year, Josh Jacobs, running back for the Las Vegas Raiders, took to Instagram before today’s game and instilled panic in the hearts of fantasy managers everywhere....
Chicago gives Cubs pandemic tax reprieve — residents get tax hike, thumb in eye
There’s seemingly a parade of stories about how the only people not getting utterly fucked during this pandemic are the ones who never get utterly fucked. If you feel like you see something like Tom Brady’s boat purchased with money meant for small businesses, it’s because you do. And if there’s a g...
Losing Len Kasper to the Sox might be hardest blow for Cubs fans
The Chicago Cubs take another hit....
Baseball’s winter of discontent begins
As baseball’s non-tender deadline passed last night, it didn’t end up being the bloodbath that some had predicted, and indeed was expected. Fifty-nine players who could have been offered a contract weren’t, which is a slight rise from the 54 who found themselves in the same situation last year, when...
Josh Jacobs hits Atlanta DB with the Nate Robinson Special
Las Vegas running back Josh Jacobs just sent a man flying with no baggage....
The fight Daniel Jacobs said would never happen with Gabriel Rosado won’t hurt him (if he wins)
Backstage at the weigh-ins before his Dec. 20 fight against Julio Cesar Chavez Jr., a man confronted Daniel Jacobs near the entrance of the Talking Stick Resort Arena in Phoenix. The headphones around this man’s neck couldn’t hide his tattoos. The wide ear-to-ear grin revealed his mood as he walked ...
Jim Nantz wants CBS to pay him like someone with a personality
In some ways you can’t begrudge Jim Nantz for asking for the bag. He probably looks to his right most Sundays, sees the Jerry Lewis soundboard that is Tony Romo, and figures A) Just by having to sit next to that overrated, handsome gas bag for four hours a week is worth $17 million a year. And B) If...
