Jerod Mayo is bringing a new (and correct) attitude to the Patriots
Jerod Mayo won his introductory press conference. Robert Kraft told the media that it was instinct that led him to choose Mayo as the new head coach of the New England Patriots. In his first public moment in this new role, Mayo’s message was one of both collaboration and boundaries. Once the staff a...
Mark Davis needs to quit dragging this out and name Antonio Pierce the Raiders head coach
Mark Davis is making this coaching situation more complicated than it needs to be. Interim head coach Antonio Pierce is the obvious permanent choice. This really is the hire that should’ve happened already. The odds of the Raiders luring one of this year’s top candidates to Las Vegas are slim. Pierc...

Dan Quinn went from top coaching candidate to consolation prize overnight

Isn't it about time the NBA forces James Dolan to sell the Knicks?
I did not know what I was getting into when I became a Knicks fan. I got into it to find a bond between my father and me. He grew up as a New York street ball legend who listened to the Knicks on transistor radios with his buddies, huddled around a car drinking tallboys and sharing a joint. As a chu...
Sex-harassment lawsuits are not a new thing for James Dolan
James Dolan has once again found himself with legal problems.

Pete Carroll is spilling hot tea all over the Emerald City

The Washington Commanders are this offseason’s most intriguing team
The Washington Commanders have new ownership and a new GM, with a new coach and quarterback presumably on the way as well. Like a dog who finally catches the mailman, fans in the DMV pined for Dan Snyder’s removal with such fervor that I’m not sure they know what to do now that it’s happened. It’s r...
The Bills and Josh Allen will try to exorcise the ghosts of Kansas City
