Steve Smith Had To Tell Tyree Jackson To Stop Throwing So Hard At Receivers During Their Combine Drills

Some NFL Teams Want Trace McSorley To Try And Play Defensive Back, For Some Reason
In the realm of football and the NFL, it’s currently one of the most insane times of the year: combine season.

I'm A Senators Fan And This Is Hell
It’s hard to label anything the nadir for a franchise that always somehow manages to sink even lower, but call this week’s trade deadline the cap of a lost decade. After moving forwards Mark Stone, Matt Duchene and Ryan Dzingel, the Ottawa Senators’ failures are laid bare. Gone are our three top sco...

The Bryce Harper Sweepstakes Made Dummies Of Us All
The last time we saw Bryce Harper’s name linked to the Philadelphia Phillies, we were told he hated Philadelphia, the shambolic organization, and especially manager Gabe Kapler, who is supposed to be as mad as a brush....

An MLB Strike Threat Might Be The Players’ Only Leverage
There hasn’t been a strike in Major League Baseball for nearly 25 years. Not coincidentally, MLB’s owners and front offices are at this moment in arguably the strongest position they’ve occupied since before the Major League Baseball Players Association existed.

The Blue Jackets Going All-In Isn't Crazy <i>Or</i> Stupid
It’s not at all rare for a contending NHL team to say “Fuck it” and go all-in at the trade deadline.

Nick Foles And His Dong Are Now Free To Go Elsewhere
Eagles general manager Howie Roseman made no attempt to yank anyone’s chain during his presser today at the NFL combine in Indianapolis: Nick Foles will not be given the franchise tag, which means Nick Foles and his reportedly gigantic hog will hit free agency. There was nothing soft about Foles’s s...
