The Cardinals Couldn't Keep Lamar Jackson Down For Long
First, the good: Lamar Jackson spent the first two quarters of today’s game against the Cardinals looking poised to pick up where he left off in Miami. The first Ravens drive of the game was a seven-play, 96-yard drive that ended with an easy touchdown throw to tight end Mark Andrews....

Casey Hayward Thrown To Ground By Kenny Golladay, Makes Interception Anyway
Lions receiver Kenny Golladay has shown in the past that he has the skillset to be a solid hard-hitting safety, so perhaps that’s why Matthew Stafford felt comfortable throwing his target a pass so close to Chargers corner Casey Hayward. Golladay’s defense was technically worse this time around, bu...

Manchester City Unable To Overcome The Irrepressible Might Of Norwich City
In what could end up being the most stunning upset of season, recently-promoted Norwich City took down defending Premier League champions on Saturday, 3-2.

Portuguese Soccer Teen Absolutely Cooks A Keeper With Filthy Spin Move

Minkah Fitzpatrick Wants Out Of Miami
It took only one game for the depth and breadth of Miami’s “tank for Tua” campaign to become apparent, and it was being widely reported even before all the players had finished driving home from the stadium that they were frantically ringing their agents, begging for deliverance from whatever this a...

Washington's Running Back Conflict Resolves Itself In Characteristically Grim, Destructive Fashion
Washington running back Derrius Guice missed his entire rookie season after suffering a knee injury during his first career preseason game.

Donald Trump: We Love Bill Belichick, Don't We, And Also Curing AIDS?
There are two versions of President Donald Trump that appear in public. They both inhabit the same body—the same Youppi-shaped torso pitched forward at the same implausible angles, same ghost-pale eyelids fluttering alarmingly, same resplendent candyfloss Kangol of hair stuck on top of it like a wei...
