The end of an error
Dan Snyder has reached an agreement to sell the Washington Commanders to a group led by Josh Harris, co-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers and New Jersey Devils. ...
Will no NBA playoff games on Saturday help the XFL Championship Game’s ratings?
On Saturday at 8:00 p.m. EST on ABC (or ESPN+) in San Antonio, Texas, the D.C. Defenders (9-1) will face the Arlington Renegades (4-6) in the XFL Championship Game at the Alamodome. But, will anybody watch?...
Tom Brady, NFL owner?
“NFL fans can’t get enough of Tom Brady!” said no one outside of Beantown that doesn’t have that Boston drawl like Marky Mark or the guy from Blue Bloods. Instead of laying more seed in New England, Brady is reportedly going into a new venture with the Las Vegas Raiders, as he’s in talks to become a...
The Detroit Lions having almost as many primetime games as the Philadelphia Eagles is crazy
Sometimes, things are so insanely true that they seem false....
No, the Tennessee Titans won't be playing Lightning McQueen, or Chester Cheeto
The NFL released its 2023 schedule on Thursday night, and teams like the Los Angeles Chargers and Tennessee Titans released videos to accompany the announcement....
Aaron Rodgers in primetime, a Super Bowl LVII rematch, and the best 2023 NFL regular season games
The NFL schedule is here. All 17 games for your favorite teams now have a when, as opposed to the who and where that was decided months ago. This all really could’ve been an email, Roger. But we have to draw this out like American Idol in the mid-2000s, releasing more parts of the schedule … after t...
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. No matter what you do, if The Hub feels like you didn’t deliver when it counts they’ll not only send you out of town but they’ll make sure the road is paved with manure as well. Ask an...
Dan Snyder’s perpetual sale of the Washington Commanders is <i>Hard Knocks</i> meets <i>Succession</i>
The saga of Dan Snyder’s selling the Washington Commanders has had more twists and turns than Waystar Royco in HBO’s Succession. It shouldn’t take this long to move one from one corrupt billionaire to another and yet, every few weeks, there’s another twist that’s giving these storylines new legs. Wh...
Every athlete accused of mistreating women is as expendable as punter Matt Araiza
I don’t want to offer a silver lining in the Matt Araiza case, because a woman was still allegedly gang raped, and the Punt God’s reported innocence doesn’t lessen the victim’s trauma. However, in the year that it took to conclude the legal matter, did anyone miss Araiza? As much as his leg cannon c...
Did you know the Kansas City Chiefs' actual mascot is not at all problematic?
The NFL’s wanderlust has led to the league potentially moving a Kansas City Chiefs home game to Germany. Whether or not that occurs is still up for debate, but we should know by Thursday’s schedule reveal. But if the NFL does export its premier team to Europe’s unofficial football capital, chances a...
Colts' owner Jim Irsay makes case for Andrew Luck to stay retired
By complaining about the Washington Commanders’ attempt to woo Andrew Luck out of retirement, owner Jim Irsay only served to further guarantee that the former Indianapolis Colts quarterback stays gone. If you have an IQ high enough to open a refrigerator, you know not to act like a possessive child,...
Stop asking Yadier Molina to walk through that door
The St. Louis Cardinals have had a barely held-together beater vibe to them for a while. The only thing keeping the bumper attached is duct tape, two of the four-door handles work/are still attached, the windows are immovable, the muffler rusted off in a dorm parking lot years ago, and of course, th...
The NBA is incentivizing flopping
NBA players have cause to be upset with the officiating in the playoffs. Just last week a ball clearly bounced off of a rim and the Miami Heat still were called for a crucial shot clock violation. I am never inclined to defend Scott Foster, but maybe his brain was fried from a flop fest that night b...
It’s OK for Cam Newton to say what’s bothering him
Let’s start this by validating Cam Newton’s feelings. A lot of people have, and rightfully so, bucked back at the quarterback’s assertion that the length of his hair is the reason why he’s still not on an NFL roster. Newton is a large, outspoken, Black man prone to fancy outfits, who grew up in the ...
The 'steal' of the 2023 NFL Draft
I remember a lot from my time in journalism school. It set the foundation for my career with tons of great professors who were happy to pass along their knowledge. Guess I was sick or had a head-splitting hangover the day the “steal from the people you’re covering” lesson took place. What are they t...
In the battle of COVID vs. sports, evil vs. entertainment, sports won
Now that COVID is officially over, and everyone can throw their masks in the trash, (Is that how this works?), it feels like a good time to declare that sports beat COVID. If you’re wondering who was keeping score, I was, and sports handily outlasted the virus — that killed very few, if any, athlete...
New York and California Attorneys General are investigating the NFL, but it won’t change anything
On Thursday morning, the Associated Press reported that New York Attorney General Letitia James and California Attorney General Rob Bonta have issued subpoenas to NFL executives in both states, as the pair are investigating allegations of hostile workplace discrimination at the NFL for racial and se...
