The NFL’s sole desire to get Taylor Swift in the Super Bowl? Money
So let me get this straight: The NFL is in bed with the left, Taylor Swift, President Joe Biden and Travis Kelce all in order to what? Improve Biden’s poll numbers and alienate a segment of its fanbase that’s been unwavering in its loyalty since Colin Kaepernick started kneeling in protest of police...

The case for — and against — Joel Embiid for MVP
Joel Embiid, the world’s best regular-season player, is closing in on his second consecutive MVP if he remains upright. When active, Embiid is a force of nature, bending defenses to his whim and simultaneously wielding an unduly influence over Philadelphia’s defense....

It might sound crazy, but Russell Wilson returning to Denver might be the best option
Russell Wilson’s first two years in Denver were a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. Tumultuous might be a better word for Wilson’s time as a Bronco, but that doesn’t mean it should automatically come to an end just because of a few bumps in the road. His first season was bad, and while his secon...
RIP Lil’ Baby Kay-Kay and the Greganator
With companies valuing IP over substance, it makes sense that Fox would demote Greg Olsen for Tom Brady, despite the former treating NFL fans to one of the best booths in the league, if not the best, for the past couple seasons. The combo of Kevin Burkhardt and Olsen are incisive, sharp and funny wh...
Doc Rivers should focus on fixing Damian Lillard before the Bucks’ defense
The Milwaukee Bucks, by virtue of having the fourth-best record in the NBA, could afford to take the gamble that is firing your coach midseason.

Barcelona are truly lost
While Jurgen Klopp stole most of the manager-leaving-at-end-of-season headlines, another of the biggest clubs in the world is losing their manager come May.

The San Francisco 49ers are back in the Super Bowl for the second time under head coach Kyle Shanahan after beating the Detroit Lions, 34-31, in the NFC title game.

TKO, WWE's billion-dollar parent company, apparently can’t afford a PR Expert
It should be stated that wrestling press conferences are something of a farce to begin with. They’re the equivalent of asking the cast of Game of Thrones to meet the press right after a season finale, or whatever other show you want to substitute in. Are you asking the character a question or the ac...
It’s getting harder to classify Brock Purdy
Does anyone even know what type of quarterback Brock Purdy is? Is he the new Joe Flacco? Is he Big Ben redux? Tom Brady 2.0?
