I didn’t think the definition of “transparency” was all that hard to understand....
Who is the best player to bet on for Super Bowl MVP?
One of the most popular prop bets for the Super Bowl is determining who will walk away with the game’s MVP award. Every year, we see people convince themselves that a non-quarterback has a shot at taking home the hardware, and more than half the time, they’re proven wrong. In 55 Super Bowls, a quart...
Everton completely change gears, hires Frank Lampard
When you become a club that’s as much of an underground circus that Everton Football Club have become, your list of possible managers shrinks. You can really only get the desperate or those with nothing better to do, or possibly those who would work nowhere else. Everton have let Duncan Ferguson, wh...
If the Rams win the Super Bowl, they only have one Super Bowl
I’m not here to argue with Lakers fans. I know patience is a virtue, but I’m not virtuous enough for that. I do want to go on the record that if the Rams win the Super Bowl, they have one Super Bowl. My unique set of circumstances — St. Louis sports fan, Trail Blazers fan — makes me highly specializ...
Caleb Williams follows Lincoln Riley to USC, furthers OU fans’ spiral
Caleb Williams officially twisted the knives Lincoln Riley stuck in the backs of Oklahoma fans when he left for Southern California as the talented QB announced Tuesday he’s following his coach to USC. He did so via tweet, featuring videos with appearances by Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and Will Ferrell....
The road to the next title keeps getting tougher for Pat Mahomes and Co.
I’ll admit it. I jumped the gun. The overwhelming reaction to the Chiefs victory over Buffalo in the AFC Divisional Round had me thinking of a much bigger picture than I should have. It’s a fact that at their best, Kansas City can beat anyone because when it’s clicking, no one slows down Patrick Mah...
Like Colin Kaepernick, Brian Flores is the latest Black person getting overlooked for a job they deserve
On the first day of Black History Month, just two years after America had a supposed “racial awakening” following the murders of Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, George Floyd, and the shooting of Jacob Blake, former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores followed in Colin Kaepernick’s footprints by ex...
Fans in the Bay Area have already moved on from Jimmy G, now they’re waiting for the 49ers to follow suit
Heading into the playoffs, the elephant in the room for the San Francisco 49ers was their quarterback situation moving past the 2021-22 season. Many people felt like Jimmy Garoppolo was done regardless of how far the Niners went in the postseason. Now that it’s all over for San Fran, it feels like e...
Brian Flores sues NFL, claiming racial discrimination
This is not a drill, the NFL is being taken to court for its abysmal record when it comes to diversity in hiring for leadership positions. A class action lawsuit has been filed and the class representative on the lawsuit, former Miami Dolphins coach Brian Flores....
Calm down! Brady wasn’t jabbing at New England with his retirement letter
Welp, we all knew it was going to happen, but Tom Brady’s retirement announcement still caught several people off-guard. Even after Adam Schefter tweeted out that Brady was likely going to hang up his cleats this offseason, the fact that Brady would do so despite being a frontrunner for the MVP Awar...
The transfer window continued Barcelona’s hilarity
The January transfer window is almost always chaos, in that there are usually 28-30 days of noise followed by one day of furious action. Even though everyone knows they only have one month to complete deals to bolster their squads for the rest of the season, clubs on the market to sell know that a h...
Won’t somebody think of the children?
The Bengals aren’t just playing for the franchise’s first title in its 54-year history anymore. They’re playing for the kids — and maybe moreso, for the parents — of Cincinnati Public Schools....
Oh look, the East is finally better than the West again
Remember the, I don’t know, decade stretch when the East was so bad and the West was so good that people were shouting at the NBA to put the top 16 teams in the playoffs regardless of conference because the 38-44 Brooklyn Nets made the playoffs and the 45-37 Oklahoma City Thunder did not?...
What was the fastest score in Super Bowl history?
The fastest score can be looked at two ways. Either by number of plays or time taken off the clock. In Super Bowl XLI, Bears speedster Devin Hester scored on the opening kickoff, speeding from one end of the field to the other in 14 seconds. One play, one score....
The only team to not punt in an entire Super Bowl
The New England Patriots in a Super Bowl LII loss to the Eagles....
What was the shortest touchdown play in Super Bowl history?
Terry Brown and Derrick Jensen share this record, both on blocked punts that were recovered in the end zone. So the answer is 0 yards....
It’s time to put the lid back on all the Chiefs dynasty talk
After Sunday’s AFC Championship loss at home to the Cincinnati Bengals, I think it’s time we come to realize that these Kansas City Chiefs are a great team, but they are not a dynasty. Not currently, anyway. Dynasties usually include multiple Super Bowl victories, not just getting there and taking s...
Another day, another injury for the Los Angeles Lakers
Health doesn’t appear to be in the cards for the 2021-22 Los Angeles Lakers. Anthony Davis had just returned from a 17-game absence due to a sprained MCL. He was back in the lineup last Tuesday and the Lakers defeated the Brooklyn Nets — sans Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden — 106-96. Th...
Don’t forget ‘cheater’ when you recite Tom Brady’s résumé
Tom Brady is a cheater....
From the College Football Playoff to the Super Bowl — Cincinnati is the capital city of football. Huh?
When they said that “on any given Sunday (or Saturday) any team can beat any other team,” I’m guessing they weren’t talking about football teams from Cincinnati winning games that would put them on the sport’s biggest stages. ...
