I can’t wait for Josh McDaniels to coach the Patriots
Most of the season, the focus has been on Bill Belichick and Tom Brady recovering from their breakup in different places. Brady moved away, tried to start his whole life over (while still keeping his 6-foot-5 tight-end Teddy Bear for security), make a clean break, that whole thing. Bill is still try...

USWNT takes knee, dons Black Lives Matter jackets in solidarity 'to affirm human decency'

Bill Belichick and Tom Brady are just two old dogs at this point
They tell me the Buccaneers have seven wins. The ESPN scorebox during Monday’s night game against the Rams said so. The standings pages say so. The NFL definitely wants you to believe it. But no, it’s a conspiracy. It’s the wool pulled over your eyes to blind you to the truth. That’s all it can be. ...

Vince McMahon squeezes fingers tighter with Zelina Vega release; how much more will slip through?
At first it seemed something of just a run-of-the-mill, Friday news dump from WWE. Releasing a mid-card (at best) female performer/manager in Zelina Vega isn’t a huge shock, given how WWE has trimmed its roster during the pandemic despite record profits. While Vega was an excellent manager, and the ...

A week of simple joys continues
We’ve all gotten to breathe a bit this past weekend.

Let's all say a prayer for Derek Carr as he stares at a possible all-backup O-line Sunday
Here is where the NFL is now with COVID-19. This Sunday, the Raiders’ franchise quarterback very well could be counting on an entire offensive line made up of backups....

The Lightning eviscerate the Stars, win the Cup, and mercifully send everyone home from NHL bubble
It shouldn’t have taken this long, and the Stars were lucky to not get run out of the building in four games, the sort of thorough thrashing to clinch the Cup and the ending the Lightning deserved. But there hasn’t been a sweep in the Final in 22 years. So the Bolts will happily settle for a six-gam...
