'Coach' Tommy Tuberville is the worst senator in the country
Allow me to address your concerns right off the bat. Yes, saying that Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville is the worst Senator in America feels subjective at best, and like hyperbole for the sake of clicks at worst. But hear me out.

The ghost of Golden State is starting to make some noise
Steph Curry’s high-arcing game-winner to sink the Phoenix Suns on Saturday night only strengthened his runaway case as The Association’s Most Clutch Player of the Year. An ensuing win over Utah on Monday positioned the Warriors back above the .500 mantle for the first time since Dec. 23. ...
How much is the NHL’s increase in scoring due to goalie pads or increased skill?
The NHL is always chasing goals. Sometimes to its detriment, as the league often confuses goals with action. What the league really wants is to assign the Dead Puck Era to the land of wind and ghosts forever, which it pretty much has. It wants a fast game showing off the skills of players and not th...
The Super Bowl has become a great concert that features a football game
Usher, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, Post Malone, Andra Day, Reba McEntire, Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Lil Jon, Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri, and will.i.am all performed or were at the same party on a Sunday night in Las Vegas.

This might have been the worst year ever for Super Bowl commercials
The dirty little secret about Super Bowl ads is viewers can watch them before the Big Game, with companies (presumably) wanting to stretch the impact of their most expensive spots of the year.

So what <i>were</i> Roger Goodell and Taylor Swift talking about during SB pregame?
Just when you think we are almost out of the conspiratorial business, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sucks us back in.

USA Hockey hiring Bruce Guerin feels wrong; Edmonton still haunted by this ghost

The latter w...
Kadarius Toney almost kept quiet; The truth about Bill Belichick's not being hired; Brett Favre with another really bad look
The Kansas City Chiefs allowed Kadarius Toney to board their charter flight to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl. With only one game remaining on the schedule, the Chiefs have no reason to limit the pool of players available to play on Sunday. Even if that player disputed the reason he was listed as inac...
SB LVIII even too expensive for the rich; A Swifties guide to the game; Poor Mama Kelce; What's Brock Purdy have to do with Lee Harvey Oswald?
Unfettered capitalism is putting some restraints on the top one percent enjoying one of its biggest parties of the year.

The NBA trade deadline was a bit of a dud, but here's a look at who won and who flopped horribly
After last year’s insane trade deadline, which featured Kevin Durant being dealt to the Phoenix Suns, this year brought a bunch of smaller, shrewd moves that moved teams into contention. We have tracked the trades and broken them down by time-tested winners and losers rubric to track how the day wen...

The 2024 NBA trade deadline is DOA
Please for the love of God stop reading this. The 2024 deadline has absolutely no pulse. Do not confuse the volume of trades made with value. I repeat. Do not confuse the volume of trades made with value. This is the Al Capone’s vault of trade deadlines. Instead of Woj Bombs, Adrian Wojnarowski is d...
If Chicago can’t exploit Washington’s obvious desire for Caleb Williams, somebody needs to be fired
There are enough patsies in need of a quarterback that Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles would be foolish to not take the many godfather offers that will come his way before the NFL Draft on April 25. Chief among them are the Washington Commanders, who have a new owner, new GM and new coach desperately tr...
Edmonton can’t beat the team they want to beat most
With all apologies to the Vancouver Canucks, actually, no, no one should ever apologize to the Canucks for anything. They know what they are and what they’ve done. While they may be on top of the Pacific Division, the other teams in that division are still going to measure themselves against the Veg...
People think Brock Purdy looks like JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. They are kinda right
