What were the best and worst sports trends in 2022?
As 2023 approaches, it gives media outlets opportunities to do wrap-ups, year-end lists, and rank anything else in the timeframe of the past 12 months. It’s really the only upside of time being arbitrary and a construct of people in power to make sure the plebeians arrive at the salt mines at 9 a.m....

Deshaun Watson is back — don’t let a loaded NFL schedule tell you otherwise
This week’s NFL slate is so loaded that it’ll be easy to overlook the biggest story of Week 13 if you try — and the Shield is definitely trying to talk about anything other than the return of Deshaun Watson. The most coverage Watson has received, outside of Cleveland, for coming back from a nearly t...
The way the Washington Commanders honored Sean Taylor was an 'epic fail'
Over the weekend, the Washington Commanders revealed a new “statue” memorializing Sean Taylor, a former safety who played for the organization from 2004-07, earning two Pro Bowl nods before his death at 24 years old. Taylor was a phenomenal young talent, family-oriented, and a hell of a workhorse on...

Dan Snyder’s alleged corruption oozed into nearly every pore of the Washington Commanders
I don’t mean to go down a whole rabbit hole dive into corporate personhood, but team owners infuse their NFL franchises with personalities.

LSU put up quite the deterrent to make sure the Tennessee goal post saga wouldn’t happen in Baton Rouge
Since Nick Saban turned Alabama into an assembly line of NFL talent, defeating his program has become a championship in and of itself.

Jerry Jones probably shouldn’t have poked fun at the NFL by dressing up as a blind referee for Halloween
Dallas Cowboys head honcho Jerry Jones can’t help himself. Constantly running his mouth, interfering with his coaches, and doing the opposite of what scouts suggest in the draft. Jones may have stepped in it again after dressing up like a blind referee for Halloween. ...

Bring it on Snyder, Jim Irsay ain’t scared
There had to be a reason that there doesn’t appear to be a significant movement by NFL team owners to try and do something to get Dan Snyder out of the league.

It’s still blackmail if it’s done in plain sight.
