You probably forgot these MLB players were on these teams
The MLB is one of the oldest leagues in American sports. With that comes some legendary players and names for all of its teams, but nothing is better than watching your team acquire someone legendary from your rivals, or pass on someone who turned out to be a hall of famer because they weren’t all t...
The NFL’s franchise tag is un-American
What happens every time an NFL quarterback resets the QB market? A relatively crap quarterback gets overpaid. The reason Daniel Jones netted a four-year $160 million deal after one good season, instead of getting franchise tagged like he should’ve been, is Joe Burrow got enough money that, by compar...
Kneeling is a quiet gesture. Bob Melvin’s decision to make the Giants stand for the national anthem is a loud one

Increasing the NFL season to 18 games is a terrible idea
An 18-game NFL regular season has been looming over the league at least since it was clear that the 2011 lockout was an inevitability. What the league wants, the league — more specifically the team owners — usually gets. The revenue split used to be 50/50 with the players, but now a greater share ha...
It's 2024, the NFL Draft process shouldn't take this long
The NFL Draft cannot get here soon enough. In its effort to monetize every second of every month, we have to wait and sit through months of speculation and evaluation with narratives conjured out of dead air. What are the Bears going to do with Justin Fields? Why are all the elite athletes opting ou...
Every No. 1 NFL Draft pick since 2000
The NFL Scouting Combine is the first sign for everyone to get serious about draft talk. It gives football fans just under two months to prepare for a new name to walk across the stage as Roger Goodell says, “With the first overall pick…” Will they become the new face of the league? Or will they fla...
Roger Goodell wants NFL players to have a ‘voice’ in volatile Election Year. Don’t believe him
In football, the line of scrimmage is where the “rubber meets the road.” In politics, it occurs inside the voting booth. Roger Goodell’s recent comments on politics and sports are proof that the league could be on the verge of repeating the same mistakes it did during the Colin Kaepernick era, as th...

The NFL keeps giving us ‘all-access’ content that lacks access
I’m old enough to remember when “behind-the-scenes’’ actually meant what it claims, as the access that was being granted was a novelty. But, in the case of the NFL, “all-access” too often feels like limited entry....
Is Bill Belichick’s gap year a post-dated suspension for Spygate?
The New England Patriots dynasty ended when Tom Brady left for Tampa Bay, but now it’s officially over as the Pats’ run is getting The Last Dance treatment.

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.
