The Bengals had better hope Joe Burrow doesn’t have one of those NBA strains
Super Bowl Championship expectations are rare for the Cincinnati Bengals. Before Ja’Marr Chase was drafted they hadn’t won a playoff game since Bo Jackson played football.

Anonymous NFL exec blasts Brandon Staley while dragging Jerry Jones into the conversation
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones is arguably the most polarizing owner in the NFL and possibly North American pro sports. Everyone has a take on Jones, and many league conversations circle back to Jerry even when they don’t necessarily revolve around him. That was the case recently when FanBuzz spok...
Why Dave Portnoy is bad for business
There is a part of me that feels sorry for Dave Portnoy. He left a good job with a sports outlet to establish — with some help from his parents — Barstool Sports, to a point that it was bought out by a major company. PENN Entertainment purchased a 36 percent stake in Barstool Sports in 2019, and pa...
The Tampa Bay Rays are running out of dudes, and ESPN somehow becomes more of a farce
The Rays might be the best developmental organization in baseball, staying on top of an AL East where they’re constantly outspent by factors of three by their competitors by consistently bringing dudes through their system and onto the MLB roster. Or they toast other organizations in trades and turn...
Trask and Mayfield for the Bucs could be this generation’s Jackson and Germaine for Ohio State
The names Stanley Jackson and Joe Germaine mean nothing to many of you football fans out there. For those who fall into that category, you all missed out on a glorious time in the sport when Ohio State was a national championship contender and started two quarterbacks. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may n...
No, ESPN, Trent Dilfer isn't, and won't be, a coaching genius

The NFL's uniform policy has gotten way too ridiculous
The NFL has too many frivolous rules surrounding things no one cares about and will go to battle with teams and players over this nonsense, especially regarding uniforms. Guys have been fined for minor infractions like wearing the wrong socks or cleats on the field. They’ve come out with all these a...
Mike Vrabel has something better than the Rooney Rule: allowing Black assistants to coach preseason games
The 2023 NFL season is around the corner. That means that the never-ending and exhausting conversation around the lack of Black head coaches in the league will soon be a hot topic — again. And since idiotic owners would rather keep choosing the Nathaniel Hacketts of the world instead of guys like Er...
Everyone agrees Patrick Mahomes figured out that two-high safety look
Unfortunately, most of us didn’t get to watch the NFL top 100 program this year. The NFL’s two minute warning that the season is about to begin was shown only on NFL+, which is still not a strong enough reason to add $79.99 to my yearly expenses. The result of the paywall restricted program this yea...
Zay Flowers might already be the best wide receiver in Ravens history
The Baltimore Ravens have been one of the NFL’s most consistent franchises since their relocation to the mid-Atlantic in 1996.

Why do the Cowboys think so little of Dak Prescott?
There’s a lot that comes along with being quarterback of the Dallas Cowboys. When all is going well, and America’s Team is winning, you get all the praise, and when they aren’t, the finger will be pointed in your direction regardless of what happened on the field. This is how it’s supposed to go for...
The Pac-12 is imploding spectacularly
There’s something cathartic about watching conference realignment. Dooms-dayers have been preaching that the end is near for a while, and as the Pac-12 folds, the ACC and Big 12 look on, praying to avoid a similar fate. Deep down, they know it’s over, and they, too, will be ravaged by the SEC and Bi...
Dodgers, Chelsea FC owner might be the uniting force to save women's hockey
There are two famous rivalries in North American women’s hockey: Canada vs. the USA, and the PWHPA versus the PHF. One rivalry will continue in perpetuity at every World Championship and Olympic Games, while the other is dead....
You better be Travis Kelce if you're gonna start a training camp fight
A crude trait most human beings possess is that we enjoy watching people fight. It’s the reason that football is the most popular sport in America, and prize fights generate millions in pay-per-view sales all over the world. In a controlled setting governed by bells and whistles, physical confrontat...
