Duke teammates’ bid on Washington Commanders relies on billion-dollar layaway plan
Instability is the core tenet of the Washington Commanders’ Dan Snyder era.

Which team is the best fit for Lamar Jackson?

Don’t believe Dan Snyder is gone until he’s 95 percent decomposed
If you were to rattle off a bunch of hypothetical hints that Dan Snyder could drop to indicate he’s selling the Washington Commanders, delaying signing bonuses until after a possible sale date would be No. 2 on the list.

Maybe Dan Snyder is the guy to give Lamar Jackson a fully guaranteed deal
What do you give the man who has everything? Typically, the answer is an NFL franchise. However, that was never enough to fill the void where Dan Snyder’s heart should be.

Commanders minority owners are alleging that Dan Snyder used the franchise as a personal 'piggy bank'

Shane Steichen is the latest white coordinator to get hired before Eric Bienemy

Brooklyn Nets, we hardly knew ye
A pouting James Harden was traded to the Brooklyn Nets nearly two years ago to the day.

Ebenezer Scrooge would defend the Grinch
There comes a point when public figures are no longer defensible. Donald Sterling and Robert Sarver were scumbags way before we had evidence that they were. So when the audio of Sterling leaked, or the Baxter Holmes piece hit the internet, there was zero reason to go to bat for them. Let the investi...
