Tom Brady launching new clothing line that has all the personality of Tom Brady
Tom Brady is veering into a delusional confidence lane shared with Brain from Pinky and The Brain. For years we thought Brady was merely Belichick’s best student-of-the-art-of-football robot, then he wrote the TB12 Method. In that book he comes off as one who believes he’s the savior the sports worl...
<i>TNF</i> Week 15: Pound the rock, control the clock
Thursday Night Football has become synonymous with mediocre television. For some reason, most TNF matchups seem to involve two uninteresting teams in a game that means absolutely nothing. Not tonight, though. Tonight features a game between two highly-talented clubs with entertaining quarterbacks an...
Anthony Edwards is breaking records and giving T-Wolves fans something to get excited about

Will Urban Meyer get a shot at redemption? Let's look at how other coaches bounced back after failing miserably
Urban Meyer is out as coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars after going 2-11 in his only partial season at the helm. While that’s 13 more games than Meyer ever should have coached in the NFL, and he leaves with a lower winning percentage in the league (.154) than Marty Mornhinweg (.156), it somehow does...
Jim Harbaugh told us how Urban Meyer’s tenure with the Jacksonville Jaguars would end
Jim Harbaugh finally got a win over Urban Meyer....
It's the end of Urban we’d all hoped for
Most of the time, the things you think will go badly don’t go badly in the way you hope. We all have an urge to watch something burn, if only for a short time, but rarely do we get the flaming wreckage we seek. A lot of times we get the conclusion, but not the show in between....
The first surprise of the NIL era has arrived, and it’s Deion Sanders poaching No. 1 football recruit Travis Hunter

The NBA once led sports in defending COVID — now it’s getting dunked on and crossed over by the virus

A degenerative brain disease caused by repeated...
Cleveland has hope — and a pretty good basketball team
If there was a way to slyly tell you that Cleveland has the second best scoring defense in the NBA behind the Warriors, I would do that. But me doing the whole, “I bet you couldn’t guess who the second best scoring defense in the league is” bit isn’t clever, because Cleveland is in the headline of t...
Please ban complaining about analytics from sports broadcasts, I can’t take it anymore
I understand Americans hate math. I largely share that sentiment and understand no one wants computation to interfere with a day off work sitting on the couch, gorging on food and drink while watching large men collide at high rates of speed on television....
Sorry Vegas, but there’s no way Jim Harbaugh or Nick Saban goes to the NFL
NFL teams have been looking at college coaches to fill their head coaching vacancies more than ever. In each of the past three seasons, at least one coach made the jump to the NFL after years of working at the collegiate level. Urban Meyer is the most recent college coach to take that route, and alt...

Real Madrid won La Liga this weekend
Whether it’s much of an accomplishment or not, that’s hard to figure out. La Liga has questionably turned to trash, when compared to what it used to be. Thanks to Barcelona’s torching their own establishment for the insurance money and forgetting the insurance money, and no other club being able to ...
LeBron James became the oldest player to record a triple-double Sunday, but it may take a miracle to restore the King and his Lakers atop their throne
Although the Lakers have stumbled their way through the first two months of the NBA season, no one can say LeBron James hasn’t done his part in trying to keep Los Angeles afloat in the western conference. On Sunday, James became the oldest player in league history to record a 30-point triple-double ...
Week 14 NFL Powerless Ranking: New Yuck, New Yuck
Welcome to this week’s NFL Powerless Rankings. We’re closing in on the home stretch of the NFL season, and we know the contenders from the pretenders at this point. We’ll talk about the contenders later because this list is about the less fortunate teams in the league. Let’s check out the worst of t...
The ending to the F1 season was impossible
It’s the kind of ending to any contest that feels scripted (and Mercedes might yet claim that it actually was scripted). It’s the thing you’d reenact in your living room when you’re a kid. Then, it’s not just the final AB in the bottom of the ninth. It’s the bottom of the ninth of Game 7 after comin...
Amanda Nunes became the latest big favorite to get Buster Douglassed
Julianna Peña put on the performance of a lifetime on Saturday night at UFC 269. Few predicted that she had a chance against UFC women’s flyweight and bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes, a woman with hands of sheet metal. Nunes had dispatched of her last 12 opponents dating back to 2015. This includ...
