Less than a week after Damar Hamlin's injury, Buffalo TD puts everyone in their feels

We’re all familiar with the cliche that is always brought out during special sports moments.

With Zidane news, US Soccer wags the dog — but that’s okay

We joked a couple days ago that US Soccer had become France without the success, delving into behind-the-scenes drama and parental strife.

You can’t kill Vince McMahon

The idea that Vince McMahon would return to WWE in some capacity has always hung in the air like a rancid fart from the very moment he was forced into retirement. We didn’t need the whispers or reports or anonymous tips, because we all knew that man with the stubbornness level of a roided-up mule (a...

Someone save Davante Adams from himself

Davante Adams has always been the anti-diva receiver. His contract dispute with the Green Bay Packers was relatively low-key, and he’s rarely spoken negatively of his ex-franchise.

The Red Sox actually paid someone

At Monday’s Winter Classic, John Henry appeared, as the hockey team he owns (the Penguins) was playing the Boston Bruins at the ballpark he owns (Fenway Park, as owner of the Red Sox as well). Henry is more reclusive than a lot of owners, so it’s hard to know if he’s as deluded as some billionaires ...

Was the Cavs’ ‘random’ PED test just fateful coincidence after Mitchell scored 71?

In one of the NBA’s more conspicuously timed sequences, the Cleveland Cavs were “randomly” drug tested just hours after Donovan Mitchell’s 71-point performance Monday night. It feels all too convenient for the association to “randomly” test the Cavs for performance-enhancing drugs one day after Mitc...

Could Derek Carr be the next Matthew Stafford?

What determines a Super Bowl-caliber quarterback? Stats? The eye test? System compatibility? It’s hard to determine, and it’s arguably impossible to determine, especially for quarterbacks stuck in terrible situations for the majority of their careers. Matthew Stafford was lucky enough to find a way ...

Wrestle Kingdom puts NJPW back on track, maybe on some new ones too

The biggest event for weirdos and insomniacs, other than maybe the Australian Open, got back to normal service last night.

The USMNT's Gregg Berhalter saga just got weirder

As we covered this morning, yesterday a kind of strange story surrounding the USMNT’s Gregg Berhalter broke, because Berhalter got out in front of it. He released a statement claiming that someone had threatened to blackmail him over a domestic abuse situation from Berhatler’s teens, so the U.S. man...

Someone tell the Avalanche the season started a few months ago

For Sale: Lightly-used NFL quarterback

The Las Vegas Raiders’ 2022 offseason had fans filled with optimism for the team’s future.

IDIOT OF THE YEAR No. 2: Brett Favre

If there were any justice in the world, NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre would have been canceled long ago, after two massage therapists for the NY Jets sued him back in 2011, claiming they lost their jobs as a result of a crude text message Favre sent to one of the women. Favre denied the allegations ...
