Breaking: Lions deal Stafford to Rams for Goff, a slew of picks with a maniacal laugh (most likely)

Yes, that's Aaron Rodgers with a case of cold ones in back of a pickup & he doesn't care what you think
Tell me again that you think Aaron Rodgers is leaving Green Bay, and I’ll show you the picture of him in the bed of offensive tackle David Bakhtiari’s truck with a case of beer sporting Packers swag outside Lambeau Field in the most “IDGAF what you think” moment I have ever seen....
Deadspin’s surprises, wishlist & predictions for a WWE Royal Rumble rife with possibilities
Wrestlemania season kicks off for real this Sunday, in the strangest Royal Rumble WWE has ever had.

Rockies trade Nolan Arenado to Cardinals, give up on being an actual baseball team
It took less than two years for the Rockies to go from signing Nolan Arenado to a franchise record eight-year, $260 million contract, to trading arguably the best player they’ve ever had to the Cardinals for a still-mysterious return, as Ken Rosenthal broke the news of the trade and reported it stil...
NFL analysts defending Deshaun Watson's trade demands are foolish
There are things to fight for as a player. But this Deshaun Watson fight is a total farce....
From no Marshawn to the Falcon Flop, here are the worst play calls in Super Bowl history
The Super Bowl is the biggest annual social sporting event of the calendar year. With so much on the line, everything that these players and coaches do will be scrutinized even more closely than usual. Many people rise to the occasion, others fold like a lawn chair at a family reunion....
Big Ben can help the Steelers by packing up his withered arm and going away
The NFL offseason promises to be almost NBA-like in its drama. There are multiple QBs on the market that could actually make a difference, with Matthew Stafford and Deshaun Watson at the top of the trade market. The Dolphins are willing to dangle Tua Tagovoiloa in order to get Watson, or maybe a hig...

The NWHL’s bubble has burst....
It’s OK to not be Shaquille O’Neal, and he should realize that

Masahiro Tanaka to return to Japan, why this Yankee fan is happy for him

Masahiro Tanaka won’t make it to Cooperstown, but — like hoops' Hall — there should be room for stories like his
In seven seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, Arvydas Sabonis averaged 12 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. His biggest accomplishments were being the NBA’s Player of the Week at the end of March in 1996, and finishing 12th in the league in total rebounds in 1997-98....

Scotty Miller is extremely wrong in thinking he can outrun Tyreek Hill
Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller just lied to himself, the rest of the NFL, and the entire American public. This man suggested that he would beat Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill in a race, and in fact thinks of himself as the fastest guy in the NFL....
The GameStop revolution <i>probably</i> won’t sink Steve Cohen and the Mets, but
The hope for the little guy, which all of us are, is that one day hell would come to breakfast for the hedge-fund tools that are pretty close to ruining baseball, the country, and the globe. And at that point, through some inexplicable force that could only be karma, they would all have to work at W...

The most scandalous things to happen at the Super Bowl
The NFL wants you to watch the game on the field, but sometimes the most memorable things about the Super Bowl are incidental to the game. The media fanfare, halftime show, and colorful cast of hangers-on make for endless possibilities for moments the NFL would rather we forget....
