How do you screw up someone like Keith Lee?
If it feels like I come here every four to six weeks or so to bemoan WWEâs latest release and wonder how they could waste such a talent so thoroughly that theyâre simply discarded like the recycling, itâs kind of because I do. We could do this all day, and by now you probably already have your own l...

ESPN should replace Michigan State with Villanova in the Champions Classic
Villanova is a better basketball program than Michigan State. Thatâs not an opinion, itâs a fact. The Wildcats have more program wins and national titles than the Spartans....

A tale of two Windy Cities
It was comeback city in Chicago last night, as the Bulls and the Bears both mounted fourth quarter efforts against their respective opponents, to â ahem â varied success....

Even children can see through Aaron Rodgersâ garbage
Aaron Rodgers has turned himself into the latest iteration of Rudy Gobert, the guy who fucked around and found out when it came to COVID-19 protocols. Rodgersâ lies throughout his coronavirus saga have made him a rightful target of scorn from everyone who has actually taken this pandemic seriously â...

You canât let NFL refs 'feel'
Generally, I think itâs loser shit to blame the refs or bad calls for a loss. Thereâs almost always a chance to overcome them, and either youâre good enough or youâre not. Iâm not even salty as a Bears fan about losing to the Steelers, 29-27, due to a couple of horrible calls, because in the grand s...

2021 Rookie QB Rankings: A Fields of Dreams, the Lawrence of the land and Big Mac
Weâve reached the midway point of the NFL season, and rookie quarterbacks are always front and center, with some living up to the hype and others not as much. With that, letâs look at how the 2021 rookie class fared in Week 9....

Justin Fields played well last week, and the Bears need to do everything in their power to give him the best opportunity to improve tonight
It was there at Soldier Field last Sunday. It didnât result in a win, but it was there. The electricity, the oohs, the aahs, the dazzling, the breathtaking type of football that Bears fans have been clawing at their walls waiting to see from quarterback Justin Fields....

Youâre back on the case, Bobrovsky!
You probably donât remember Dan OâToole and Jay Onrait. They were the Canadian SportsCentre guys (yes, the e goes there up north) that Fox Sports brought in to host its competitor to SportsCenter (with the e where it belongs down here) when FS1 launched. You donât remember the former, because no one...

Upset Sunday! In the NFL, division leaders, one loss teams, Cowboys, Bills, Rams, it doesnât matter Lâs were handed out like club flyers on Sunday
The NFL had a case of the upsets in Week 9. Some teams were dealing with extenuating circumstances, such as the Green Bay Packers without MVP quarterback Aaron âI discount double-checked the coronavirus myselfâ Rodgers and the New Orleans Saints trying to get quarterback Trevor Siemian to play like ...

Matthew Stafford is still the same QB he was in Detroit
Welp, here we go again with Matthew Stafford. It must be extremely tough to be a fan of Stafford. Just when you think heâs rolling along and nothing can stop him, Stafford lays a giant egg in a game that he should win. It almost sounds like being a Dallas Cowboys fan. So, I get it....

Itâs most certainly Hammer time
While Manchester United have done their best to make sure the Premier League doesnât become completely stratified into just a âtop four and everyone else,â and Arsenal and Tottenham have made the idea of a âBig Sixâ laughable, that only works if there are other teams willing to crash through the doo...

Adam Silver set the precedent with Donald Sterling â he must continue it with Robert Sarver and Neil Olshey
Mark Cuban saw it coming. Adam Silver did not. ...

Thanks for volunteering as tribute, Aaron Rodgers
On Sunday, ahead of noon kickoff across the country, FOX analyst Terry Bradshaw let Aaron Rodgers have it for lying about being vaccinated for COVID back in August....

A wild end to the MLS regular season
MLS had its âDecision Dayâ yesterday, the last day of the regular season when all of its playoff spots get shaken out. The permutation for the top, middle, and bottom of the playoff picture were David Lynch-level convoluted, so sometimes itâs best to express the happenings in one highlight:...

NFL Powerless Rankings: The not very good, the bad and the ugly
The NFL season is halfway done, and now we know who the contenders are and the teams we can write off as pretenders. We can talk about the contenders another time because this list is about those less fortunate teams in the league. Now itâs time to check out the worst of the worst from Week 9....

James Harden had a âglitch in the matrixâ moment, recreating <em>NBA 2K</em> gameplay
The start of the season hasnât been the NBA 2K simulation that most thought it would be for the Brooklyn Nets, but James Harden had himself a moment over the weekend that sums up the Netsâ slow start this year....

Some Minnesota Vikings made their pitch for Odell Beckham Jr. during warmups, but there are better teams that could make better use of the former All-Pro
Some Minnesota Vikings players gave their front office a little elbow nudge to make a roster move this week. Wide receiver Justin Jefferson and cornerback Cam Dantzier both played their college football at LSU and made their pitch for another former Tiger to become a member of the team â Odell Beckh...

The Reds are blowing up something that never stood
Yeah, so I did write this last year. The Reds only ended up moving Raisel Iglesias, and you can always fashion a bullpen out of the leftovers, scraps, and spare duct tape you have laying around if youâre determined enough. The Reds didnât move anything else, and were competitive until the seasonâs f...

Week 9 NFL Betting Primer: Best Over/Under, Spread, Teaser and Prop Bets
Oof, a rare goose egg came out of last weekâs action, though to be fair, that was easily one of the most bizarre football slates any of us had ever seen. When something like Mike White beating the surging Bengals outright to sink our teaser happens, just try to laugh and move on....

Coaching just doesnât matter that much
Maybe college football coaches are overrated. Not individual college football coaches. The entire concept of college football coaches....
