Dave Roberts canât help himself
The MLB playoffs can get pretty muddled between decisions and results. Rarely do they line up because... yâknow, baseball. It doesnât cooperate. Right decisions, wrong results, vice versa, the throughline is rarely consistent. But Dave Roberts has been at this for years now, so he certainly makes fo...
Eagles ship Zach Ertz to the Cards⌠but how much can he help?
Earlier today, the Cardinals continued to build their 2017 Pro Bowl squad by adding three-time Pro Bowler Zach Ertz to their roster. A.J. Green, J.J. Watt, and now Ertz? My goodness! Imagine if Larry Fitzgerald wanted to keep playing, 20-year-old me would be going absolutely nuts right now. ...
We were so close
You couldnât really have asked for much more from the Dodgers and Giants, series or Game 5. What you want is it to be close and dramatic, and those boxes were checked. The stats for these teams are staggeringly close. 109 wins each going in, a season series that is now tied at 12, the run-differenti...
Dan Snyder deciding to honor Sean Taylor NOW is a disgrace
The New York Giants announced in September that they will retire Michael Strahanâs number on November 28. Earlier this month, when Pau Gasol retired, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss immediately said that his No. 16 would go to the rafters. The Oakland Aâs have been planning Dave Stewartâs jersey retirement...
NFL Week 4: Brady vs. Belichick steals the show, while every 3-0 team gets a test
Week 4 of the NFL is obviously headlined by Tom Bradyâs return to Gillette Stadium. Itâs widely believed that Bradyâs departure from New England wasnât as clean and professional as Brady would like us all to believe. At the same time, Brady has come out and stated that his exit from the Patriots was...
Houdini, thy name is Ole Gunnar
While most every Manchester United supporter you know will scream at you about what a sneaky good manager Ole Gunnar SolskjĂŚr is, and certainly never in a tone or volume that will make you think theyâre trying to convince themselves as much as they are you, the urge for all of us who donât support t...
MVP debates make my ass weary
Iâve come to the conclusion that a big part of being a member of the baseball media is just justifying your existence. Which is why they spend most of the time turning stuff into a debate that isnât really a debate. Nothing is worse than individual awards, where distilling what âvaluableâ means has ...
Davis Mills is destined to be the Texansâ franchise quarterback
Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, Justin Herbert. What do all these guys have in common? Well, theyâre all young. Theyâre all talented. Theyâre all franchise quarterbacks, and they all became franchise quarterbacks after having the reins handed over to them by Tyrod Taylor....
CONCACAF just CONCACAFâd like never before
The most CONCACAF thing happened on Tuesday night, which is an enormous statement to make if you know anything about how CONCACAF works....
Another Oakland Aâs window is closing without much to show for it
Considering the constraints (some of them self-imposed, admittedly), itâs kind of amazing how often the Aâs can reinvent themselves and put together a window of contention. The problem is those windows donât tend to lead anywhere....
Someone should get Harvey Barnes a GPS, or a sense of purpose
Itâs been a pretty woeful start for Leicester City in the Premier League this season after being the surprise package the past two. While both ended in final-day heartbreak, as they missed out on the Champions League at the final hurdle, they were still fun to watch as they sparred with and bloodied...
Marcellus Wileyâs top 10 NFL players list is bad and he should feel bad
What in the name of sweet baby Jesus is going on here?...
ESPNâs âCy Young Predictorâ is laughably on the fritz
Predicting who is going to win major awards across the Big 4 American sports is one of the nationâs most popular pastimes. Oftentimes, arguments can be made for several different players. Thatâs why several years ago, ESPN put out its Cy Young Predictor, an AI system that would take a pitcherâs stat...
Dak telling Brady heâll âsee him againâ is a great sign for the Cowboys
The Dallas Cowboys and Tampa Bay Buccaneers opened the 2021 season in a thrilling back-and-forth game that literally came down to which team had possession of the ball last....
Victor Oladipo improves online discourse by tweeting only in 𧢠emojis
Ohhh, the ever-evolving age of social media. Thereâs nothing like waking up in the morning, turning on your phone, only to see your mentions blowing up and your name being tossed around like a Caesar salad. At those moments, you have two options: Clap back, or let it ride....
You done messed up, Urban
The Jaguars are not going to compete for a Super Bowl this year. They are not going to compete for a division title. They are not going to compete for a playoff spot. With that in mind, all that should matter in Urban Meyerâs first season as head coach, is developing his rookie quarterback, Trevor L...
Emoni Bates makes Memphis must-see TV
Itâs arguable that Emoni Bates is the best forthcoming NBA Draft prospect even though wonât be allowed to enter the pros next year. And, yes, that would mean weâre talking about a 17-year-old prodigy who just committed to Memphis. Bates had cut his final list down to Memphis, Oregon, Michigan State,...
Maybe itâs the un-superteam thing Barkley likes in Bulls
Anyone whoâs followed the NBA for any amount of time is used to hearing Hall of Fame player-turned-TNT basketball analyst Charles Barkley speak his mind whenever a microphone is shoved in his face. ...
James Harrisonâs heel turn â plus other NFL pro-wrestling grudge matches weâd like to see
Former Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker James Harrison has started a new career, though it isnât too different from the one he left a few years ago....
NBA Free Agency doesnât wait around
We always expect the dawn of NBA free agency to be on the bonkers side, and yet are always surprised with how bonkers it gets. With the offseason once again crunched as the league desperately claws back an 82-game season from players who will barely be able to stand at the end of it, teams are proba...
