NFL’s Week 3 MVP and LVP: Lamar Jackson vs. Jalen Hurts and Jimmy G vs. Justin Fields

Was Miami's Butt Block the NFL’s greatest sports blooper since the Butt Fumble?

From the division that brought us the Butt Fumble came a worthwhile sequel from the Miami Dolphins in the wild, final minutes of their 21-19 win over the Buffalo Bills. Josh Allen threw 63 passes, which is an absurd amount for such a low-scoring affair. Butt his efforts were the subplot to the gridi...

Welcome to ROH is Jericho?

There was this internet pipe dream back in 2007. This little company with a cult independent following called Ring of Honor finally became popular enough to appear on television.

This company is still sticking by Brett Favre

As the misdeeds of Brett Favre continue to worsen, the image of the clean-cut Packers’ quarterback has deteriorated from all sane walks of life.

Give to the rich, take from the poor, that’s what sports has done for years

His daughter played for the team, and with about $135 million in career earnings, he could certainly have managed a donation himself. Mississippi is ...

Here’s the one area the dominant Buffalo Bills sorely need to improve

The Buffalo Bills have been the plow, while their first and their first two 2022 opponents — the Los Angeles Rams and Tennessee Titans — have been the snow.

The media needs to treat Brett Favre like it did Michael Vick and Colin Kaepernick

Brian Kelly vs. Mike Leach, a Notre Dame win watch, and more from college football’s unranked

There are so many good games featuring at least one ranked school this weekend that it’s easy to overlook the unranked matchups that are still compelling this early in the season before teams amass nicks and cuts and flaws and people deem their season a loss. If you’ve only got one TV/screen, you’re...

Don’t celebrate just yet, SEC fans, there’s another independent who could claim a CFP bid

The unbearable heat of Qatar pushed the FIFA World Cup out of the summer months for the first time in the tournament’s history.
