Trash Talkin' Tuesday: Sammy Watkins What Are You Thinking? [Video]
Today, I’m trashing Chiefs wide receiver Sammy Watkins for trying to justify taking a pay cut to stay with the defending champions by asking “how much (money) is enough?”...

Manchester City Are Destroying Everything In Its Path, Including UEFA
If it’s felt like Manchester City are just an irresistible, and inevitable force, today will only underline that. Not only have they outscored their opposition since soccer returned 25-3, or won six of their eight games, or still have a very good chance at claiming three trophies this season (alread...

Mahomes Messed Up On Contract
Patrick Mahomes had a chance to make history with his contract extension....

On the Joys of Running and the Agonies of a Canceled New York City Marathon
On September 10, with both of my kids in school for the full day for the first time, I went to South Beach on Staten Island to run, really run, for the first time in years. I’d tried to take up running a few times before — in college, in my 20s, earlier in my 30s — but always gave up pretty quickly,...

No One Will Feel Sorry for Man City Or Pep Guardiola, But They Stand To Lose A Lot
At the top, we need to add even more of a disclaimer than we usually do. There are far more important things in the world than this, but it’s our lot to discuss the silly and insignificant (at the time)....

It Would Suck If Liverpool Couldn't Finish Their Magical Run, But Leicester City Would Be The True Victims Of A Canceled Season
When discussing the bonkers plans the Premier League has floated for finishing its season—call it The Bio-Dome solution—the undercurrent to it all is that there’s a decent chance it won’t be finished at all. The idea of tacking it on to the beginning of next season almost seems a non-starter, with E...

David Arquette Has Unfinished Business In The Wrestling Ring
On December 8, 2018, David Arquette was standing in front of a table in the 2300 Arena, formerly the ECW Arena. He was wrestling later that night but was at that moment signing autographs and taking pictures. A fan approached the table to tell Arquette that he was his favorite World Championship Wre...

Even When Aaron Rodgers Slips Up, He's Spectacular
Even with Patrick Mahomes stuck on the sideline, Sunday night’s game between the Chiefs and the Packers played out as an entertaining battle of offenses that kept matching each other blow for blow. But in a fight between the recently un-retired Matt Moore and the god Aaron Rodgers, it was only a mat...

Someone Should Put The Warriors In Rice
After the Clippers beat the brakes off the Warriors on Friday, coach Steve Kerr offered the following foreboding quote to reporters about what his team should expect for the remainder of the season:...

Report: Young Southampton Fan Somehow Still Believes In Team, Even After 9-0 Loss To Leicester
At least one Southampton supporter was still behind the team well into a rout that ended up tying the record for largest victory in Premier League history: a 13-year-old named Tom. It’d be easy for any young teenager to jump ship from a team that they just witnessed be on the wrong end of a 9-0 loss...

This Is The Face Of A Soccer Manager Who's Just Been Asked If A Nutty Comeback Win Is Better Than Nutting
Heart-pounding scenes in England’s second division on Wednesday when Bristol City pulled off a thrilling last-minute comeback victory over Charlton Athletic. Bristol manager Lee Johnson spoke effusively after the match about what an “unbelievable feeling” it was, though he wasn’t quite ready for the...

Manchester City Are Practically Invincible When Raheem Sterling Is On His Shit
The thing about Manchester City is that they don’t really have a best player. Well, they do have one—Kevin de Bruyne—but the team’s structure isn’t the sort where everything revolves around one guy, where shutting KDB down means shutting down the entire team. Instead, Man City possess a truly stupid...

The Premier League Title Race Is Just Getting Started
Coming off a season where both the eventual Premier League champions and the runners up were very nearly perfect, you could be forgiven for assuming the eight-point lead Liverpool enjoyed over Manchester City coming into this past weekend to have been almost insurmountable. When the margins separati...

Report: Patrick Mahomes Avoids Major Knee Damage
Chiefs fans, and anyone who enjoys watching strange and beautiful passes, can breath a sigh of relief: Patrick Mahomes’s knee did not suffer any structural damage. The Chiefs star twisted his knee early in the second quarter of last night’s win over the Broncos, and slo-mo footage of a medical assis...

Patrick Mahomes Ruled Out Of Chiefs-Broncos After Suffering Leg Injury [Update]
Patrick Mahomes was helped off the field in the second quarter of the Chiefs’ game against the Broncos on Thursday with what appears to be a leg injury. Mahomes remained on the ground following a quarterback sneak on fourth-and-1 near the goal line. Why coach Andy Reid decided to have his quarterbac...

Patrick Mahomes's First Pick Of The Season Happened After A Bizarre, Sketchy Officiating Decision
With the Kansas City Chiefs leading the Texans by a touchdown in the second quarter of Sunday’s game, quarterback Patrick Mahomes drove his team to the edge of the red zone, only to throw it to Houston safety Tashaun Gipson in the end zone. However, officials flagged cornerback Lonnie Johnson Jr. fo...

The Colts Will Spend Today Picking The Chiefs Out Of Their Treads
There’s no need to go crazy and say that the Colts spent last night drawing up the blueprints for how to beat Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs, or that running the ball is suddenly the key to winning in the NFL. This was just one game, but it was fun as hell, and it’s worth spending some time today lu...

Leicester City Are For Real Again
When Leicester City won the Premier League title in 2016, it felt like an accident. Sure, they had N’Golo Kanté, Riyad Mahrez, and Jamie Vardy, but outside of those three, Leicester weren’t a team full of great players. Rather, they had a good system that worked to perfection long enough to complete...

The Lions And Chiefs Could Not Hold On To The Damn Football
Usually, when a much-anticipated game delivers, it’s because the quality of football was high enough to match the hype. Think Chiefs-Rams from last year. Kansas City was involved in another of those games on Sunday, as they headed to Detroit to take on the also-undefeated Lions. The drama was there ...

Bernardo Silva Does A Racism Oopsie, Pep Guardiola Makes It Worse
What do you get when you mix an obscenely racist Spanish candy, a well-meaning but ill-advised joke tweet between Premier League teammates, and a manager who clearly doesn’t know anything about the history of racist imagery? Well, you get a racism scandal perfectly suited for 2019, with only a bag o...
