The best-laid plans of Bulls and Balls…

The ideal version of this Chicago Bulls roster — the one that started last season 27-11 and featured three wing-sized guys on the perimeter that played defense, scored, and shared the ball — is like so many teams whose bright future hinged upon versions of players that no longer exist. Whether via i...

What if Christian Pulisic isn’t that good anymore?

Also, he might be kind of a prick, but we’ll circle back to that....

Which USMNT players punched their ticket to Qatar?

The United States men’s national team has zero minutes of game time remaining before it lines up against Wales at the FIFA World Cup, the country’s first contest on soccer’s biggest showcase in eight years. Tuesday’s scoreless draw against Saudi Arabia gave us one final look at the Yanks before head...

NFL Week 3 Powerless Ranking: Fear and losing in Las Vegas

It’s time to check in on the teams that can’t get out of their own way. The first few weeks of the 2022 NFL season have been somewhat unpredictable, but there are always a few teams we expect to disappoint their fan base. Now let’s get into the powerless ranking for Week 3....

2022 Rookie wide receiver ranking Week 3: Chris Olave, Drake London, and Garrett Wilson show out

Last season we did our weekly rookie quarterback tracker, but with only one taken in the first round of 2022, we’ve moved onto another highly coveted position. For 2022 we’ll keep track of all six first-round wide receivers and their progress throughout the year. Some of our first-round rookies are ...

Hindsight is 20/21 | Trash Talkin' Tuesday

Sorry Joe Buck, but KaVontae Turpin does NOT have a ‘fantastic’ story

We gave up long ago on any NFL broadcast talking about a player’s checkered or downright gross past, honestly, because the league almost assuredly wouldn’t allow it....

Our ass bleeds for Kyrie Irving

Athletes being dumb isn’t anything out of the ordinary. It’s been the crux of the matter for sports’ entire existence. With social media and athletes having a giant bullhorn whenever they feel like, without the filter that the media could provide them (imagine Mickey Mantle today), they’re going to ...

Buffalo Bills OC Ken Dorsey slams tablet in anger after league sends memo warning against such behavior

Football is an emotional game, and the stakes are extremely high in the NFL. It’s not uncommon to see a player or coach go berserk when a play, call, or game doesn’t go their way. Even the greatest players aren’t exempt from losing their shit sometimes, as we’ve seen Tom Brady do on the field and si...

Tom Brady vs. Aaron Rodgers was a complete dud

No one except delusional fans of both Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers would have expected a barnburner on Sunday....

Was Miami's Butt Block the NFL’s greatest sports blooper since the Butt Fumble?

From the division that brought us the Butt Fumble came a worthwhile sequel from the Miami Dolphins in the wild, final minutes of their 21-19 win over the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen threw 63 passes, which is an absurd amount for such a low-scoring affair. Butt his efforts were the subplot to the gridi...

Will Buffalo's Super Bowl dreams be dashed after Micah Hyde injury?

When fully healthy, the Buffalo Bills have one of the greatest safety tandems in the NFL with Micah Hyde and Jordan Poyer. However, as of Saturday, the Bills will be forced to play without one of them for the entire season....

Delusional Donald: Trump thinks miraculous Jets win makes Robert Saleh 'greater than Vince Lombardi'

For most of his life, former President Donald Trump has been obsessed with football. There are failed bids to become the owner of an NFL team, taking control of the New Jersey Generals in a past version of the USFL, and calling players like Colin Kaepernick who knelt during the national anthem to pr...

Here’s the one area the dominant Buffalo Bills sorely need to improve

The Buffalo Bills have been the plow, while their first and their first two 2022 opponents — the Los Angeles Rams and Tennessee Titans — have been the snow. Both were pushed up and down the field with great ease as the preseason Super Bowl favorites have looked like that assessment was well deserved...

TNF Week 3: Najee Harris has a lot to prove, and he (probably) won’t

Through two weeks, Steelers’ halfback Najee Harris has recorded just 72 rushing yards on 25 attempts. Meanwhile, Bengals’ quarterback Joe Burrow has been sacked 13 times for a total loss of 73 yards. Harris has been so inefficient (3.47 yards per carry) that he’s recorded fewer yards on the ground t...

If Amazon Prime can make Steelers-Browns watchable, world domination is within reach

Amazon wants its Thursday Night Football games to be a Monday or Sunday night event as bad as Cleveland wants a Super Bowl. Well, maybe not that bad, but still pretty bad. Tonight’s game between Pittsburgh and Cleveland features one AFC North team trying to find the heir to Ben Roethlisberger on the...

The White Sox’s year finally dying the death it deserves

It’s not that you have to go back all that far for a season by an MLB team that was as disappointing, confounding, and overall just as big of a waste of time as the 2022 Chicago White Sox. It was just last year that the San Diego Padres acquired every player that wasn’t nailed down, and then finishe...

Updated on Sept. 22 at 10:05 p.m.: Boston Celtics head coach Ime Udoka has been suspended for the entire 2022-23 season for having what has been reported to be a consensual relationship with a team staffer, according to The Athletic’s Shams Charania....

Antonio Brown roasted by ProFootballTalk for Twitter jab at Tampa Bay exec Bruce Arians

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown has ventured into another career endeavor outside of football. Since NFL teams seem to be done with Brown, he tried his hand at NFL “reporting” Wednesday morning on Twitter. And for his efforts, Brown was called out by ProFootballTalk. Brown cl...

How big of a dumbass do you have to be to strike out with Congress while rich?

For some reason, Greg Norman marched up to Capitol Hill to lobby for the Saudi Golf Tour to get Congress to do… something. And man did he strike out!...
