If you ever wanted to be an NFL player, this was your year
Tuf Borland, Mac McCain, Luther Kirk, Paul Quessenberry, and Pooka Williams all joined an elite group this year. Not many people can say that they have played in an NFL game, but these five men all did exactly that this season....
NFL Week 15: Four straight days of games with COVID taking over
The NFL, despite all its ongoing problems with CTE, horrible additions to the rulebook, and comically bad press with the likes of Jon Gruden and Dan Snyder, did have one thing going for it throughout the 2021 season: They hadn’t had a serious COVID outbreak....
This 17-game NFL schedule is terrible, just like the process of trying to buy Air Jordans
With the world trying to muster up some cheer in another holiday season dampened by COVID, I personally would like to offer a sincere bah-humbug to the NFL and the SNKRS app. I didn’t want much last weekend, just a spec of pre-Christmas. Instead, I received two lumps of coal with an unofficial SNKRS...
Cold weather, not a leftist conspiracy, the reason for Michele Tafoya’s absence on SNF, says NBC
Aggregators assemble!...
What a shame that even Inside the NBA bowed down to football
If, by instinct, you turned on TNT last night at 8 p.m. EST expecting to see Ernie, Charles, Kenny, Shaq setting up a prime time basketball game, you received an unpleasant surprise: Hotel Transylvania 2....
Okay, who thought a MNF Wild Card Game was a good idea?
Monday Night Football is great… for the fans. We always appreciate an extra night of NFL football. For the teams involved though, it’s not very appealing. Sure, it gives those teams an extra day to prepare for their opponent, but it also gives them one fewer day to prepare for their opponent the fol...
Please enjoy these visuals of sports broadcasting’s diversity problem
It’s nearly fall, which means it’s time for outlets that carry football games to dazzle us with their broadcast teams and assignments!...
Big Ten… ACC… Pac-12… wyd
You remember that episode of The Office where Jim and Dwight create an “alliance” to combat other alliances around the office? That’s what this feels like. Less than a month after Texas and Oklahoma announced they’d be moving to the SEC, three of the four remaining Power 5 conferences announced they...
Why didn’t Yankees and Twins play 2 yesterday with Henri barreling down?
The Yankees and Twins will not play on Sunday, which was pretty clearly going to be the case since Friday morning, when the National Weather Service issued its first hurricane watch for the New York area in 10 years....
SHOCKING: The NFL investigated itself and found nothing
Over a month ago (geez, June flew by fast), Eugene Chung, a former NFL player and assistant coach,claimed that he was told by an unnamed team that he was “not the right minority.” This sparked outrage among NFL fans, players, and media alike. The NFL jumped to action, launching an internal investiga...
A modest proposal for the NFL’s 17th game
It was the worst-kept secret, and the NFL owners have been pushing for this for years. But this week the NFL will make the 17th game official. The players hate it (see Alvin Kamara), but some are kind of shocked that they agreed to this in the latest CBA. Communication is not the NFLPA’s strong suit...
$110 billion (with a B) NFL TV deal includes Amazon and lots of new quirks
The NFL has a new media deal starting in 2023, worth $110 billion, that will bring some changes and some new options to the way we consume our national football obsession. With a new media deal comes new money, which will make the talent department of your favorite franchises happy – more money mean...
Did ratings for Oprah’s Meghan Markle and Prince Harry interview measure up against the NFL postseason?
For years, I felt like the only person who didn’t watch Game of Thrones. On Monday mornings in the spring and summer, I would leave my friends and social media to talk about who got killed, who got screwed, or which dragon appeared....
The NBA’s second-half schedule is sweet music to the Jazz
The NBA announced the remainder of their regular-season schedule this afternoon, highlighting that the regular season will end on May 16, roughly one month after its usual completion in a non-pandemic climate....
Please turn this Pro Bowl Madden stream into a regular thing
No, this isn’t a case to keep the Pro Bowl in a virtual setting forever. Hopefully, someday soon, we’ll get to travel normally so the players who’ve earned it could make the trip to Orlando. But the NFL Madden Stream worked, as far as quality content goes....
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...
Let's All Calm Down About Tony Romo
Mike Tyson was a predictable boxer. Michael Jordan was a predictable basketball player. Tom Brady is a predictable football player. It doesn’t matter how hard you study. If you’re not good enough, you will lose. That’s the predictable part....
CBS Sports Accidentally Plagiarized SB Nation Posts Due To "Technical Issue"
CBS Sports has blamed a “technical issue” for scraping blogs from various SB Nation team sites and posting them in full on its website with no attribution, according to a statement from CBS Sports Digital to Deadspin....
To Be Fair, Consuming Hallucinogens While In Toledo Is Advised
We can only assume Jay Feely is suffering from a glitch in the Matrix:...
