Miami’s Raheem Mostert is Mike McDaniel’s X-Factor
Since the dawn of time, mankind has had but one goal: “I. MUST. GO. FAST.” Whether it be speedrunning Super Mario 64 on Twitch, Joey Chestnut wolfing down 70-plus hot dogs in 5 minutes (You could never!), or Lightning McQueen going for the Piston Cup, speed has always dazzled onlookers and made for ...
Has anyone noticed Carl Nassib isn’t on an NFL roster?
My adult life has been littered with the word privilege. When I was growing up, it was first discussed when my parents explained why my Sega Genesis was off limits as well as the living room television. Privileges can be held over a child, and if that child goes above and beyond acceptable behavior,...
Need a new flatscreen to watch the NFL? Here are the best Prime Day Deals out there
The NFL 2022 season is right around the corner and you need to replace the the flatscreen TV you threw out the window after your team came up short again? We’ve got you covered with the best Prime Day Deals out there....
Duncan Keith, a shutdown corner on ice
The popular thesis on Duncan Keith, who reportedly is retiring after 16 seasons, was that he was a product of the “new” NHL, after the Great Bettman Lockout II in 2005. The thought was that someone his size would never have survived in the clutch n’ grab n’ hogtie era that came before, given that he...
The Jazz wouldn’t say it, but Donovan Mitchell’s days in Utah are likely numbered
Danny Ainge gave no tells during the Utah Jazz summer league press conference on Saturday. The Jazz team president answered, maybe, three questions during the whole session, leaving most of the talking to General Manager Justin Zanik....
Somebody please tell Tyreek Hill that flattery will only get Tua so far
Since arriving in Miami, Tyreek Hill has been endlessly podcasting and writing checks his quarterback can’t cash. He said Tua Tagovailoa is more accurate than his former quarterback Patrick Mahomes. He gushed over his arm strength. On Saturday’s show, he said, “Reporters, analysts, Twitter trolls. A...
Tiger has the 150th Open Championship 'circled' on his calendar
The British Open, the final major golf championship of the year, doesn’t tee off until Thursday, but it’s already dominating the sports headlines this weekend as 2022’s Tiger Woods comeback and Saudi drama come to a head....
Dan Snyder offers to testify after we all saw Roger Goodell’s congressional circus
Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder has reportedly offered to testify via video this month in front of the House Oversight Committee, who has been investigating the Washington Commanders’ workplace culture and the NFL’s handling of rampant sexual misconduct since October 2021....
5 players to watch at NBA Summer League
Players who were added to NBA rosters two weeks ago take the court to play against young NBA talent, and people who are still desperately clutching their professional basketball dreams. There were a handful of teams in San Francisco and Utah earlier in the week, but the big show is in Vegas for 10 d...
Here’s a list of things Tony Gonsolin likes to eat
If you’re only casually following baseball these days, or not at all, it’s probably time to introduce you to Tony Gonsolin. He’s one of the many Dodgers pitching prospects that have become good in the Majors and why we’ll probably never be rid of them. Even with Dustin May and Walker Buehler off on ...
Imagine if Josiah Gray develops an elite fastball
Coming into the 2022 season, Josiah Gray was Washington’s No. 3 prospect. He was a top-100 prospect throughout all of last season when he was dealt to the Nationals as part of the Trea Turner/Max Scherzer deal. In his limited time with the Dodgers and Nats last season, Gray showed flashes of excelle...
A dome is dumb, won’t make Bears stick around
Hmm, let’s think. After the Bears purchased land in Chicago suburb Arlington Heights and the rumors began to swirl that they might be planning to move out west at some point in the relatively near future, let’s put ourselves in the shoes of Chicago’s mayor, Lori Lightfoot. What can we offer the Bear...
Here’s hoping Brittney Griner is receiving better legal advice than us
I’m not a legal expert, or a hostage negotiator. I’ve seen The Negotiator, but it’s been a while, so these are just the thoughts of a casual observer. The advice being given in the Brittney Griner case is strange. Being told not to talk about an Olympian being wrongfully detained in Russia over weed...
Months after the Art Briles fiasco Grambling State is dealing with more coaching drama
Something ain’t right on The Yard in Louisiana....
Travis Kelce’s age, not Tyreek Hill’s absence, is the key to Kansas City’s season
Before I start, Travis Kelce should still be the first tight end off the board in this year’s fantasy football draft. He’s going to get an increased workload with Tyreek Hill in Miami, and Patrick Mahomes will lean on him early like you lean on that one person you know at the wedding before the alco...
The Saudi Golf Tour idiocy continues to astound
If you were too busy getting drunk and setting off fireworks in your cousin’s backyard this weekend to keep up with the newest Saudi Tour drama, I don’t blame you — but the weekend’s over, and we’re diving right back in....
Todd Boehly knows Chelsea aren’t the Dodgers, right?
Chelsea fans knew it would be a bit of a comedown from the ownership of Roman Abramovich — though from dubious-at-best roots he did turn Chelsea from basically an also-ran to a world power beyond all of their dreams — to whoever came next. American ownership of Premier League teams has always been v...
KD is a superstar player, but not a great talent evaluator
In an era where title-starved NBA owners are increasingly taking responsibility out of the hands of their front office and handing their organizational control to their superstars, it’s telling that Kevin Durant personally issued his trade request from Brooklyn with owner Joseph Tsai....
Of all people, Jeanie Buss caused a social media stir on a holiday weekend
Jeanie Buss came out of nowhere with a tweet that left social media buzzing over the weekend. She isn’t very active on the platform, tweeting at the absolute most four times per month. Her last two were about WOW Women of Wrestling, of which she is a co-owner, and the one before that was a retweet o...
Why would KD want to return to the Warriors?
It must be the summer of 2016 because Kevin Durant rumors are heating up and the Warriors are once again on the table it seems. ...
