From no Marshawn to the Falcon Flop, here are the worst play calls in Super Bowl history

Big Ben can help the Steelers by packing up his withered arm and going away
The NFL offseason promises to be almost NBA-like in its drama. There are multiple QBs on the market that could actually make a difference, with Matthew Stafford and Deshaun Watson at the top of the trade market. The Dolphins are willing to dangle Tua Tagovoiloa in order to get Watson, or maybe a hig...

Mark Cuban finds it hilarious that financial giants are taking an L to Reddit
Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, has big money. According to Forbes’ real-time billionaires tracker (which is just so gross), he’s worth $4.2 billion. I feel like it deserves to be written with the zeroes for perspective. That’s $4,200,000,000. Cuban, however, is on the side of the little ...

Masahiro Tanaka won’t make it to Cooperstown, but — like hoops' Hall — there should be room for stories like his
In seven seasons with the Portland Trail Blazers, Arvydas Sabonis averaged 12 points and 7.3 rebounds per game. His biggest accomplishments were being the NBA’s Player of the Week at the end of March in 1996, and finishing 12th in the league in total rebounds in 1997-98....

Damian Lillard or Steph Curry — who’s the better daily fantasy play for tonight?
To quote Joe Budden: This week has been a two-pack of ass. As far as fantasy basketball goes, we’re not looking out at an eventful overall slate until Friday. Even still, while tonight presents its challenges, it’s also an opportunity to play someone you never would due to lack of options, and be pl...

Senior Bowl preview: Which players stood out on the first day of practice?
In a year where we won’t have an NFL Scouting Combine, the Reese’s Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama will have even more weight than normal. For the players in Mobile, it’s a great opportunity to compete against good talent and put solid film on tape. Practice matters just as much, if not more, than th...

Scotty Miller is extremely wrong in thinking he can outrun Tyreek Hill
Buccaneers wide receiver Scotty Miller just lied to himself, the rest of the NFL, and the entire American public. This man suggested that he would beat Chiefs wide receiver Tyreek Hill in a race, and in fact thinks of himself as the fastest guy in the NFL....

The GameStop revolution <i>probably</i> won’t sink Steve Cohen and the Mets, but
The hope for the little guy, which all of us are, is that one day hell would come to breakfast for the hedge-fund tools that are pretty close to ruining baseball, the country, and the globe. And at that point, through some inexplicable force that could only be karma, they would all have to work at W...

The most scandalous things to happen at the Super Bowl
The NFL wants you to watch the game on the field, but sometimes the most memorable things about the Super Bowl are incidental to the game. The media fanfare, halftime show, and colorful cast of hangers-on make for endless possibilities for moments the NFL would rather we forget....

Will Clint Capela’s historic four-game fantasy stretch continue against Brooklyn?
Sometimes your targets are so far below your price range that you laugh at how easily you’ll take them. And in other instances, the bookkeepers raise their value so much, causing you to contemplate reevaluating your choices. That happened to some degree here, but still, I’m sticking to it. FanDuel i...

Curt Schilling isn’t whiffing on Cooperstown because he’s a Trump supporter, it’s because he wasn’t good enough
Curt Schilling is a fraud....

Phillies forced to bring back J.T. Realmuto because they made a decade’s worth of mistakes
The Phillies acted as if the franchise — which has lost more games than any professional team in the world of sports since its inception — didn’t have to bring back J.T. Realmuto. However, the 138-year old organization with just two World Series championships to its credit, had no choice. After trad...

With A-Rod and Big Papi on ballot next year, gatekeepers of Cooperstown will face a reckoning
Just as most writers want, to get the affirmation they apparently crave by denying millionaires access to a club, no one will enter the Baseball Hall of Fame this summer. Once again, they have kept the sanctuary safe from the heathen of Barry Bonds and Roger Clemens, as they see it. They won’t get t...
