Difficult Super Bowl Trivia: Part 3
Last yearâs Super Bowl, a 31-9 win for the Buccaneers over Kansas City, was the first time in five years that the Big Game was decided by two or more touchdowns. It was easy to forget a lot of what happened as soon as the game ended, but if youâre a trivia buff, you know that every moment in a Super...

Difficult Super Bowl Trivia: Part 2
Records are made to be broken, the old saying goes, but thatâs not always true. Some records, in fact, cannot be broken. Thereâs no way, for example, to score a touchdown in the NFL longer than 99 yards. ...

A Cowboys-49ers playoff game means so much more than just another wild-card game
January 10, 1982, is the day it all started. Most longtime Niners and Cowboys fans will point to this day as the start of a rivalry that lasted the better part of two decades. The 1981 NFC championship game at Candlestick Park between the San Francisco 49ers and Dallas Cowboys was the beginning of a...

Aaron Judge and Vlad Guerrero scare Orioles into moving fences back
Camden Yards is an iconic ballpark. So iconic in fact that since its inception in 1992, barely any changes have been made to it. Well, something not so minor is coming to the Oriolesâ home field in 2022, as the left field wall is not only going to be raised from 7 feet to 12 feet, but also pushed ba...

Coach of the Year should come down to two guys
Across all sports, the Coach of the Year Award has a misleading title. Itâs not about who the best coach is; itâs about which team stunned the most people, or which team overcame the most adversity while staying near the top of the league. Thatâs what voters are really looking for. By that criteria,...

All this fun and you get paid, too!
Iâll level with you. I didnât really think that much of John Madden as an analyst, at least for most of my experience listening to him. That doesnât mean I didnât think his personality or presence didnât warrant his standing at the top of the broadcasting game. They very much did. And perhaps Iâm ju...

Memphis Basketball is on pause with unvaccinated players â don't be like them
As the omicron variant is ravaging the globe and putting the sports world in a submission hold that Bob Backlund would be proud of, it feels like weâre destined for another shutdown. But, while some schools, conferences, and leagues are trying their best to go about this in a smart and safe way, the...

The Jose Mourinho cycle has gotten ruthlessly efficient
Life is about evolving, and economy of motion is one of those things we strive for. How do we do the things we have to do every day in the cleanest way possible? Mostly itâs about financial budgeting, but there comes a part in everyoneâs life when you decide what you really need in your house and in...

Divock Origi, the club legend who never plays
Every fandom has their cult heroes who seemingly drop in out of the sky and provide a lifelong memory. Phillies fans have Matt Stairs. Bulls fans have Steve Kerr, to an extent (Kerr was a fine player but he does seem an odd choice from the gods to hit a title-clinching shot, no? Then again, he did i...

A white athletic director told a Black HS player he got his speed from ârunning from the policeâ â Tony Humphrey took his power back by walking away from that school
One of the things that make sports so beautiful is that they are an example of people coming together from different walks of life all in the name of the team. Black, white, gay, straight, male, female, non-binary, it doesnât matter â theyâre are all playing for the name on the front of their jersey...

A review of this weekâs <em>Man in the Arena: Tom Brady</em> coming up as soon as I find literally anything else to watch
I donât know how TV critics (like Alan Sepinwall) do their jobs when theyâre forced to watch awful shows. How many spinoffs of rich people behaving poorly can you honestly consume before low-brow insults from high-class people lose their effect?...

Los Angeles County lawyers are still making Vanessa Bryant suffer
Thereâs a lot going on in California. The Golden State Warriors are on fire. Anthony Davis thinks the Lakers âsuck.â And the Staples Center will be called the Crypto.com Arena starting on Christmas. Maybe thatâs why more people arenât focused on whatâs still happening to Vanessa Bryant. ...

Someone had to take this job
Our long national nightmare is over, as we donât have to hear about the New York Metsâ GM search anymore. After every good candidate either turned the Mets down or threw their phone into the nearest lake, and then every out-of-the-box candidate went full Lou Brown and told Sandy Alderson they had so...
