<i>Mike & Mike</i>, Now Mike And Mike, Reunite As Mikes To Celebrate <i>Mike & Mike </i>
It looks like time (and awards) heals all Mike wounds, because Mike Golic and Mike Greenberg appeared pleased to be in each other’s company last night as they were inducted into the Radio Hall of Fame, less than two years after they reportedly could barely even make eye contact with each other of th...
How Much Longer Does Mike McCarthy Have Left?
On its face, losing by three points on a Thursday at one of the most notoriously difficult stadiums to play in as a visiting team isn’t cause to sound the alarm. But after the Packers went down against the Seahawks, 27-24, head coach Mike McCarthy’s grip on his job is looking more and more tenuous, ...
Matt Patricia Made The Lions Practice In The Snow For No Good Reason
The Bill Belichick coaching tree has produced a bounty of dullards and faux hardmen, and it’s beginning to look like former Patriots defensive coordinator and first-year Lions head coach Matt Patricia is the juiciest offering yet....
The Marlins Have A New Logo And New Uniforms, Again
The 25 years of the Marlins’ existence has been a demonstration of a team that doesn’t know what it is or wants to be. So it’ll try again, with its third rebrand in a quarter of a century, including new colors, a new logo, and four new uniforms....
The Ravens Might Actually Have To Start Robert Griffin III On Sunday
Hidden behind the cloud of an injured starting quarterback was a brief glimmer of hope for the Ravens on Wednesday. With Joe Flacco missing practice because of an injured hip, rookie Lamar Jackson became the likeliest candidate to take the helm of Baltimore’s offense on Sunday against the Bengals. J...

Ed Oliver Gets In Heated Argument With Major Applewhite Over Coat [Update]
If there was any doubt that University of Houston’s Ed Oliver was going to leave the program for the NFL, it was squashed on Thursday night. Coach Major Applewhite told Oliver that he wasn’t allowed to wear a specific heavy black coat on the sideline during the team’s game against Tulane because the...
You Wouldn't Want To Work With Draymond Green, Either
They have been historically great for years and are, when at their unholy apex, probably the most beautiful and terrifying basketball machine ever constructed, but the Golden State Warriors are kind of a corny bunch of dudes. This is nothing on them, really: it’s not their job to be interesting, or ...
This Tennis Ball Passing Through A Racket Is A Blessed Sports Moment
The Oddly Satisfying video might be the great viral genre of our time, and it has the potential to make serious inroads into sports. There’s free fodder everywhere, what with all the synchronized movement, strangely curving projectiles, scalp-tingling bat sounds, and so on. So here’s a good one, fro...
Goddamnit, Cy Young Voter Who Snubbed Jacob deGrom Is A W-L Guy
I didn’t know a lot about San Diego Union-Tribune writer John Maffei (but not, weirdly, baseball writer) before today. I know everything about now, even from very limited data....
LeBron, It Is Time To Go Full Kratos
Look, there’s no need to belabor the point here. I have great respect for your basketball mind and your body of work. You just reeled off a 44-10-9 in fucking Year 16. But it really doesn’t need to be this way. Just hear me out on this....

How The Hell Did The Jazz Lose By 50 To The Mavericks?
Before the season started, the Utah Jazz were considered a lock to finish top four in the Western Conference, and many prognosticators even thought they could surpass the Rockets and finish second. Theoretically, Utah seemed likely to rip out of the gates because of continuity, some internal improve...

The Eagles Suck!
Last week Dom Cosentino and I discussed one simple truth of this NFL season: The Dallas Cowboys were a mess. Naturally, the Cowboys went out and beat up on the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night....
Huffy, Dopey Cy Young Voter Hangs Up On Incredibly Chill Old Radio Host<em></em>
I learned something really interesting today, which is that Steve Somers is still alive. You people out there probably know New York’s flagship sports talk radio station WFAN mainly because of comic book hater and sugar-free mafia cosplayer Mike Francesa. Ah, but when I was growing up, there was an ...
This Is Just What It's Always Going To Be Like Now
It never takes much. Tubbs started when some power lines blew over. All it took for Carr to roar to life was a flat tire. Thomas was born of a utility malfunction. Camp was probably the same. Their beginnings almost don’t matter, since the story of each of those historic wildfires, and all the fires...
The Steelers Have Ransacked Le'Veon Bell's Locker
Le’Veon Bell officially ended his tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers when he didn’t report to the team by yesterday’s 4:00 p.m. deadline. He will probably never set foot in the Steelers’ locker room again, which means that something needed to be done with his locker and the belongings that are stil...
Soccer Ref Suspended Three Weeks For Using Rock-Paper-Scissors Instead Of Coin Flip
Over in England, the FA has banned referee David McNamara for 21 days on the charge of “not acting in the best interests of the game,” after some unauthorized improvisation when he forgot his coin ahead of an Oct. 26 Reading-Manchester City match in the Women’s Super League. Because he didn’t have a...
