Texans gather at Deshaun Watson restaurant opening, because of course they do
It’s likely that it won’t become that much of a story, due to the fact that the Houston Texans suck, or that the NFL will almost certainly want it to go away, and that not much will come of it because of that. But the fact that multiple Texans attended a restaurant opening in Houston because Deshaun...

James Harden might not need cheesesteaks
I don’t want to be hard on James Harden. We all ... look different after this year. Cooped up in our house, downing comfort foods more often than we have in the five years previous combined.

Sunday Night Football: Naked in the rain
The optics of this NFL season have already been weird and an indictment of the decision to have a season at all.

For A.J. Hinch, looks like crime does pay as Tigers' gig looms
While White Sox fans, and the actual White Sox for a good portion of the time, have always considered the Cubs their main rival, the way baseball works is that your real enemy resides in the division. That’s who you compete with for playoff spots after all. So while the Sox were having their owner e...
