There's nothing wrong with AEW's Ruby Soho — or any woman — bleeding

Capping off a week of pretty wild wrestling news, I suppose it was somewhat comforting that it ended with a familiar dumbass debate within the industry. Talks of board takeovers and sales to oppressive foreign regimes, that’s above most wrestling fans’ paygrade (though it won’t stop us from chiming ...

Black coaches should boycott the Houston Texans so they can’t fill their Rooney Rule quota

When the Houston Texans fired Lovie Smith on Monday after only a year on the job, the sorriest franchise in the NFL was following the same script from last year when they fired David Culley after one season. The last three men to have the title of “coach” within that organization have all been Black...

What has — and hasn't — been confirmed about the reported WWE sale to the Saudis

Cardinals WR DeAndre Hopkins wants out of the desert

Unlike Davante Adams, DeAndre Hopkins has had enough. Following a tumultuous year on the Arizona Cardinals that he’d probably prefer to expunge from his record, Hopkins wants a fresh start. This offseason, Arizona’s All-Pro is expected to demand a trade out of the undetermined level of Hell that has...

Los Angeles Dodgers, Cleveland Browns showed true colors in handling of Trevor Bauer, Deshaun Watson

Kevin McCarthy’s humiliating road to becoming Speaker of the House channeled more Cleveland Browns energy than anything else this week. Going 0-14 in Speaker votes and accumulating the worst record since the mid-1800s wasn’t just reminiscent of the Hue Jackson era, but of the current Haslam-era Brow...

Chelsea and Liverpool have cycled out of the Premier League Big 7

There were many distasteful, if not outright disgusting, angles to the attempted creation of the European Super League two years ago. One of those lurking beneath the destruction of the entire structure of European soccer or the naked and unfathomable greed was the awkwardness of the English clubs’ ...

Buffalo Bills' Damar Hamlin FaceTimed with teammates

After needing resuscitation on Paycor Stadium’s turf on Monday night, Bills safety Damar Hamlin’s recovery can only be described as miraculous four days removed.

You can’t kill Vince McMahon

The idea that Vince McMahon would return to WWE in some capacity has always hung in the air like a rancid fart from the very moment he was forced into retirement.

How Luke Hawx was influenced by ECW

Don’t forget about the Bengals' Tee Higgins through all of this

Last night, we witnessed one of the scariest moments in NFL history. The image of Buffalo Bills’ safety Damar Hamlin getting up from a hit just to fall down unconscious moments later will be ingrained in my mind for a very long time.
