NBA Daily Fantasy: Who to watch for on a loaded MLK Day slate
Nine games scheduled; we’ll see if that stands. Hopefully you’re reading this before noon, otherwise, you’ll have missed the Knicks vs. the Magic. If you did that on purpose, I’d understand. (The Knicks are pretty fun so far, though!) Anyway, we’ll begin tonight across the bridge from them in Brookl...
Tony Romo is a pox on all our houses
The Browns and Chiefs played a very good, entertaining, tense playoff game. It was close, came down to the last possession, and ended on one of the ballsier calls a head coach has made in a long time. It was nearly dreamland for the Browns, and the Chiefs were able to survive having the most importa...
Just change this stupid end zone fumble rule already
I hate bad rules in sports. I hate them even more when they cost teams a game. I hate them even more when it potentially costs a team a playoff win. The Browns were the subject of my least favorite rule in sports – the shitty end zone fumble touchback thingy....
Joe Ricketts, the man who burned down a newsroom for trying to unionize, is at it again

It's been a while since we've talked about Buffalo in the context of a Super Bowl run

NBA Daily Fantasy: Someone’s gotta score for the Houston Rockets tonight
I’ve never smoked crack before, but the rush of an NBA transaction probably brings me closer to that feeling than the Houston Rockets were to making any of their 27 straight threes to end that infamous game 7. That James Harden trade … man, hopefully, we could actually get through this season....
NBA Daily Fantasy: Why would you <em>not</em> play Kevin Durant? And is the debuting Kristaps Porzingis worth a look?
We’ll have to wait and see how he feels in March or so, but so far, Kevin Durant’s been an MVP candidate. Did you see him last night against the Denver Nuggets? And people think the Nets will drop off without Kyrie Irving. Pffft. The Slim Reaper won’t let that happen. Let’s stay in Brooklyn for the ...
NBA Daily Fantasy: Will Tyler Herro take advantage of a depleted Heat roster?
We’re beginning to see actual cancellations, so bet carefully. FanDuel didn’t even list the Philadelphia 76ers versus Miami Heat game but fret not. Two of today’s choices come from that game, but alternatives will be provided for FD players. You’ll be missing out, though!...

The Dallas Cowboys are truly 'America's Team'
I and many others have lamented the exposure the Dallas Cowboys get, despite the team being a complete waste of everyone’s time. ESPN, NBC, FOX — they can’t wait to lustily paste the Star of Texas on their prime windows, and yet all the ‘Boys do is throw up masticated foodstuffs pretty much every ti...

In post-#SpeakingOut world, WWE decides hiring Barstool demon bro apologist Erika Nardini is the way to go
It would be the deepest fantasy to expect WWE to make major changes after the #SpeakingOut movement a couple of months ago, where numerous male wrestlers and coaches around the industry were outed as rapists, harassers, assaulters, misogynists, and general dickheads. ...
