More great news out of the Washington Commies’ camp
The three things likely to survive a nuclear holocaust? Keith Richards, cockroaches and Dan Snyder, though at this point it would be impossible to distinguish between the last two.

There go the Rams doing what they do best: Spend dollars
The Los Angeles Rams are doing their best to be the 2000s New York Yankees.

They were not able to re-sign midseason acquisition Von Miller, so they instead added a big na...

Baker Mayfield’s not as bad as you think
If there’s one thing you can rely on with the Colts, it’s that they’ll have a high draft pick as their quarterback....
If OBJ didn’t work out in Cleveland, don’t expect Amari Cooper to either
Amari Cooper is a good receiver. He’s not as good as Odell Beckham Jr. was when he left New York for Cleveland though. Sure, there are some arguments you could make against the latter statement. For example, perhaps Cooper hasn’t been a true No. 1 in Dallas since CeeDee Lamb got there. Doubtful, but...

Auburn getting upset in the SEC tourney could be a bad omen
Auburn men’s basketball has the odds-on favorite to go No. 1 overall in the NBA Draft on its roster. It has two possible lottery picks in its front court.

Will Wade’s LSU benefit scandal resurfaces in NIL era

This murky Deshaun Watson situation is about to get some clarity real soon
As questions about the NFL futures of a couple of star quarterbacks have been answered, the public will get a much better idea about Deshaun Watson’s future very soon.

Sammy Sosa and Mark McGwire aren’t walking through that door....
Hear me out: Derek Jeter for MLB Commissioner

Frisky NFL teams that could get friskier with the right QB
Watching the Rams walk a tightrope without a net this season was exhilarating. They traded two first round picks for Matthew Stafford, and people who hated the deal were a Tom Brady comeback away from laughing at Stan Kroenke and Los Angeles for being so frivolous with their assets. (I would’ve been...
