Athletes' calls for voting reform were justified. Do better, America
My Twitter feed today is filled with photos, videos, and reactions to super-duper long lines on the first day of early voting in my native New York and I am just overwhelmed with …...

What was Friday’s most impressive sports performance?...
Antonio Brown (and Tom Brady's enabling) just latest in NFL full of problematic men — time for women to take a stand
There’s a thing men do that drives women crazy. It’s when, upon becoming fathers, they suddenly care about women, often beginning their soapbox sermons against sexism and misogyny with “as the father of a daughter . . .”...
Sit down, jerk — the flag doesn’t have cancer
The sentiment has been echoed a million times on the political right, so let’s just go with the latest one, which earned one-time “Punky QB” Jim McMahon some kudos from The Federalist and revoked any punk cred he ever had:...
Let's all say a prayer for Derek Carr as he stares at a possible all-backup O-line Sunday
Here is where the NFL is now with COVID-19. This Sunday, the Raiders’ franchise quarterback very well could be counting on an entire offensive line made up of backups....
With COVID-19 outbreaks linked to ice rinks, how will college hockey even start?
When the coronavirus pandemic hit America earlier this year, one of the first sporting events to be canceled was college hockey’s Frozen Four. It’s a sign of how badly things have gone here that it’s getting harder and harder to see the way to the event taking place in 2021, because at the moment, t...
Wilson spouting off on humanity of Antonio Brown is insulting and, yes, even DangerRuss
Further illustrating how the NFL has outlined our utter failure, if not caused it, was professional and self-appointed morality-sensor Russell Wilson clamoring for the Seahawks to sign Antonio Brown. I can’t really add any more to this than DeArbea already did, but Wilson needing to chime in is tr...
Daniel Jones brings us all together with less threatening incompetence than debate
There wasn’t much to choose from on Thursday night, that is if you didn’t opt to stream a show you hadn’t gotten to or finished yet to shut out reality. I hear the new season of Fargo is good. If you were looking for live entertainment, your choices boiled down to which version of two balloon-handed...

It’s no secret that the players in the NBA rack up bands during their careers. So, we decided to take a look at which players in the league have been stacking the most cash this year. Here are the top ten, as calculated by players’ 2019-20 salaries and endorsement pay....

NFL teams lusting after lowlife Antonio Brown is disgraceful [Updated]
Updated on Friday, Oct. 23 at 7:40 p.m.: According to ESPN, Antonio Brown reached an agreement with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Friday night. The troubled receiver reunites with Tom Brady, and is expected to make his 2020 debut in Week 9....
COVID-19 almost killed Bobby Bowden, but he's still voting for Trump
There’s nothing more American than college football, racism, and voting against your own self-interest....
Spanish newspaper's description of Ansu Fati reminds us that the U.S. hasn't cornered the market on racism
Things are so terrible in this country that sometimes you can forget they can be equally shitty elsewhere. And while an interview between Jason Whitlock and President Orangutan may feel like sports “journalism” has completely fallen through the bottom of the well and is hanging out with the rock peo...
Minor League Baseball players are justifiably sick of earning ‘$4 an hour’
For many hardcore baseball fans (like me, before I began researching this story), the idea of playing in Minor League Baseball is like the dream before the dream comes true. Sure, we know there are long bus rides, the pay is lousy and there’s a good chance you can end up at Sears selling Lady Kenmor...
There’s no way around it, Michigan is stuck with Jim Harbaugh
As a Saginaw, Mich. native and someone who was accepted into that world-renowned university in Ann Arbor, I don’t remember a time in my life in which I wasn’t a fan of the University of Michigan’s football team....
Dave Roberts still thinks he’s playing Strat-O-Matic
I have to credit Joe Sheehan, who has been using that metaphor for a long while now. Anyway, one of the problems with Dave Roberts as manager, at least in the playoffs, is he just assumes he’ll get production from the back of the baseball card simply because. Mostly, if not solely, this has been the...
Doug Jones roasts Tommy Tuberville’s coaching career, surges in Alabama senate polls
It is nearly impossible to not turn into your favorite forehead-slapping meme when discussing the Alabama senate race between Tommy Tuberville and Doug Jones. Any logical analyses of it can cause your brain to liquify and drip out of your nose to find the sweet release of non-existence. On the one s...
Trevor Lawrence should pull an Eli Manning because the Jets are the Jets (all the way!)
Trevor Lawrence should avoid the New York Jets at all costs. ...
Toxic pride is the NFL’s biggest obstacle to a much-needed playoff bubble
One of the biggest topics among some coaches, players and others throughout the NFL is a simple question: Will there be a bubble for the playoffs?...
How much should Cubs fans care about their team's horrendous owners?
Todd Ricketts is a petulant child, and he’s mad because his awful brother, Tom, gets all the attention as chairman of the Chicago Cubs. Todd and his sister, Laura, also run the franchise, but Todd doesn’t care about Laura. He just wants you to know that he’s one of the people who owns the team....
Of course Michigan’s emergency stay-at-home order does not apply to its football team
Way back when in August 2020, the Daily Tar Heel, UNC-Chapel Hill’s student newspaper, wrote in a headline that the school had a “clusterfuck” on its hands....
