Robert Saleh should be a head coach in the NFL tomorrow

We don’t want you to have to watch the Bears either
Whenever the NFL schedule is released, we Bears fans cringe whenever there’s a national game listed. Not because the Bears’ record over history on Sunday or Monday night is pretty porous, though that’s part of it. And it’s not the slagging we’ll be in for by national analysts. We’re numb to that by ...

DeAndre Hopkins 'swerves' through MAGA caravan in Ferrari, middle fingers up
Part of the reason we love sports is watching girls and guys live out dreams that we’re not capable of. And sometimes they do it in more of a baller fashion than we’ve ever conceived.

When the coronavirus pandemic hit America earlier this year, one of the first sporting events to be canceled was college hockey’s Frozen Four.
