Didn’t know Jordan Mailata had those pipes, kinda knew Joe Buck didn’t

Jordan Mailata sang his ass off and probably shouldn’t have been revealed as Thingamabob on Wednesday night’s episode of FOX’s The Masked Singer. The Eagles’ offensive lineman made the transition from blocking defensive ends to singing “Wanted Dead or Alive” by Bon Jovi on national television....

Be patient, but more importantly, not cheap, Chicago

If Zach LaVine and Demar DeRozan thought backup was coming in the form of Lonzo Ball, Alex Caruso, or Patrick Williams, they might want to try buddy-copping their way out of the jam Chicago is in now. Fake argue like Will Smith and Martin Lawrence, or mix karate with charisma like Chris Tucker and J...

Kevin Durant says Dirk Nowitzki is the best shooting big of all time, but it's actually Kevin Durant

I’m not surprised that Kevin Durant has a great deal of respect for Dirk Nowitzki’s game. Prior to Dirk becoming one of the best players in the league, all the basketball players who were bigger than most of the other basketball players were scoffed at for not playing with their back to the basket. ...

Fictional Hooper Bracket: Hickory Region - Round 2

An overweight out-of-work actor who didn’t make a bucket on screen, a cartoon grade school kid, and Urkel all prevailed in the Hickory Region, meaning the 11, 13, and 14 seeds came up Milhouse in an upset-riddled round. Now, Urkel and Recess’ Vince LaSalle face off to go to the Sweet 16....

Don’t Bill-ieve it

One of the great selling points for public money going being used to build a stadium is that, while the stadium itself will be used by teams owned by billionaires, there will be an economic impact to the surrounding community that makes the public investment worthwhile....

NBA, get your uniform situation together

It’s time to end this madness NBA. You’ve been playing around with the jerseys for far too long. I get it. Each team having approximately 1,000 alternate jerseys is a great revenue stream as well as the sponsor logos in the corner where the NBA logo used to be. But there is this word, clarity, that ...

Winning Time Episode 2: “Is That All There Is?”

“You look like one of us,” a young woman tells Jerry West at a bar, fresh off a championship but stuck in his own ennui.

Now that baseball is back, which free agents are still out there?

Antonio Brown and Kanye West want a seat at the table. They can’t even afford to be in the room....

The Broncos and Packers have their QB situations locked up, but what about the other teams who need a QB?

The NFL landscape changed drastically Tuesday afternoon once the Russell Wilson to Denver news broke. Wilson and the Broncos swooped in just hours after the announcement of Aaron Rodgers’ new mega $200 million deal ($153 million guaranteed) and hijacked the headlines. In one moment, the balance of p...

With Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson off the market, Jameis Winston could get another chance

So, Aaron Rodgers duped us all into thinking he was done with Green Bay. Four years, $200 million (supposedly), and one fewer team questioning their future at the quarterback position. Denver has their whole situation figured out as well I guess. Russell Wilson? That’s a big get for a team in a divi...

Somehow Aaron Rodgers survived his ‘cancel culture casket’ [UPDATED]

Aaron Rodgers is staying in Green Bay, we know that much....

The fastest NFL Combine ever created a new class of sonic boom or bust prospects

The NFL’s Underwear Olympics has always had a tangential connection to actual football.

Besides, the best combine bench press numbers typically are posted by the lineman ...
