Baker Mayfield propaganda is back in full effect for 2023
We haven’t heard much from Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield this summer.

Now that tra...
Guess who Justin Jefferson left off his top 5 QB list?
The internet is a place that constantly gets people into trouble, especially when social media is involved.

The USWNT better not have any centerbacks get hurt

I swear, if robot umps do away with manager rants …
It’s hard to describe why Wednesday night’s wild ending to the Washington Nationals-Houston Astros game was so much fun. Maybe it’s because a 58-year-old man in a baseball uniform showed up to a postgame presser with photographic evidence of a blown call. Or it could have been that I have a friend w...

Have a look at the Tom Brady succession battle between Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask

In the age of social media, one of the best sources of extra flavor is practice clips. These days there is no need to wait until the afternoon sports segment on ...
Roberto Firmino will play his last game for Liverpool as my heart aches
The shelf life for soccer players might just be the shortest around. Baseball would like to get there, but in the world of football it still basically works that once you hit 30, they start counting down the clock on you.

Jayson Tatum, Boston Celtics avoided the longest summer possible just in time
No one eats their young quite like Boston. Only Tom Brady and David Ortiz seemed to have gotten out of there alive.

Why did Bronny James pick USC?
Bronny James finally made his long-rumored commitment to USC official this weekend, after months of speculation that indicated he was staying local to suit up for the Trojans.

Is Caleb Williams the real deal or more fool’s gold from Lincoln Riley?
Caleb Williams is the 2024 NFL Draft’s most anticipated gem. A perfect, gleaming, status-altering figure who’ll lift the fortunes of the team that drafts him — but also completely out of reach for now. The Washington Commanders, Las Vegas Raiders, Atlanta Falcons, and New Orleans Saints all sit in p...

Will Levis the sad man out on NFL Draft Night

According to the experts — Mel Kiper and some Re...
