The expanded college football playoff schedule is going to test a lot of livers, waistbands, and relationships

Anyone who’s ever been to Las Vegas will tell you two nights is the perfect length for a trip, and proceed with caution after the 48-hour mark, or you’ll risk going full James Harden and slapping your buddy outside the club. Three days on the strip is excessive even for the most degenerate of addict...

The low point of the NBA season has been the interminable debate over the MVP.

It’s up to you New York — Yankees to get healthy

It hurts to watch the New York Yankees right now. And if you play for the Bronx Bombers, chances are, you’re also hurt.

The Edmonton Oilers keep dressing the worst player I’ve ever seen

Thanks to the flat salary cap for the past few years, and the existence of a hard cap at all for nearly two decades, a lot of NHL rosters look the same.

Aaron Rodgers lures old friend Randall Cobb to New York Jets

“Won’t you be my neighbor?” Aaron Rodgers probably said over the phone to another former teammate, coaxing them to join his circus in the New Jersey suburbs.

Whenever talking about AEW, it’s important to keep in mind that it was formed on, essentially, a bar bet. Dave Meltzer tweeted that no one could fill a 10,000-seat arena with an indie show.

And it f...

You’re going to show Joel Em-V-Biid some respect, and you’re going to like it

The NBA’s most annoying PR push is over. Joel Embiid is the league’s MVP for the 2022-23 season, and as per the unwritten rules of NBA Twitter, is now immune to criticism.
