Deontay Wilder took the high road… but it made everything less fun
It took him almost a week, but Deontay Wilder finally did it: he congratulated WBC Heavyweight champion Tyson Fury on defending the title in their third fight against each other.

Finally, some Ole Miss drama that doesn’t involve Lane Kiffin
Ole Miss has been a haven for fun, light-hearted drama ever since Sandra Bullock won an Academy Award for her role in The Blind Side.

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...

So is Christian Yelich dead?
The Milwaukee Brewers, probably the playoff team that everyone thought about the least, bit the dust yesterday in a fashion befitting a team that most didn’t realize were even there. They scored six runs across four games, got shutout twice, and while maybe not quite a whimper thanks to the dramatic...
Did you know, Did you know, Did you know, a Jordan Brand executive has a dark but important story to tell
Temple graduate, MBA from LaSalle, 10 years with Nike, former president of the Portland Trail Blazers, and boasting a CAA Speakers profile, this is how you would expect a Jordan Brand executive’s resume to read.

Don’t be mad at Adam Schefter, he’s not really a journalist anymore [Updated]
What a week. If you want to know how the sports sausage is made, a few notable emails made available through leaks and lawsuits have been particularly illuminating.

There is no escape from the Astros
The longer the Astros stick around, the more baseball fans complain and bring out the tired jokes about their cheating. Maybe more opponents get suspicious, as Chisox pitcher Ryan Tepera did after Game 3. This is obviously the price the Astros have to pay for 2017’s scandal, and the only price they...

He’s allowed only 465 yards with six interceptions through 16 games. Now, you’...

The Russell Westbrook era is underway in Los Angeles, and after his first couple of games in a Lakers uniform, Mr. Triple-double accounted for 14 turnovers in 39 minutes. He had 9 in one game alone.
