The NY Post and Phil Mushnick sink to a new low

Aaron Rodgers is responsible for both the New York Jets' and Denver Broncos' misery

Immaculate Grid has been a hit with baseball stat geeks since its launch in April. While the stats puzzle has since expanded to basketball, football, and hockey, it’s still baseball that makes the game what it is. So if you need help filling out your daily grid, give these stats a look....

The Dolphins' secret weapon isn't named Tua
The Miami Dolphins are fast, like heyday Miami Hurricanes fast, in relation to their competition. With his current offense, Tua Tagovailoa must be currently feeling like he did while quarterbacking Alabama — the modern standard for college football athleticism.

The Miami Dolphins are a tidal wave that left Russell Wilson feeling washed
While Tua Tagovailoa is opening eyes around the league, he was simultaneously closing out an era as well. During Miami’s 70-20 drubbing of the Denver Broncos Tua Tagovailoa ended any hopes of a Russell Wilson Renaissance. It might be time to mummify Wilson. There are still 15 weeks remaining, but he...

That 42-6 trouncing should’ve been an eye-opener for Colorado
All the hype and attention surrounding the Colorado Buffaloes and head coach Deion Sanders was stifled on Saturday at the hands of the Oregon Ducks. The No. 10 team in the nation put boots to ass and sent No. 19 Colorado back to Boulder, licking their wounds. This is one of those losses that’ll both...

Buddy Hield is the type of player who could tilt the odds in a contender’s favor
If there’s any NBA trading block resident who deserves to transition to a contender this season, it’s not James Harden or Damian Lillard, it’s newcomer Buddy Hield. At least Dame Time has advanced to the brink of a Conference Finals. Hield has never even sailed the postseason waters. His 548 games p...

Get ready for lavish sports-themed resorts in college towns, as the expense of fandom continues to increase
Since America encourages maximum luxury that is far too expensive for the average person, of course, a project combining sports and extravagance is headed for college towns. Sports Illustrated has already built a sports-themed resort in the Dominican Republic, where the 2023 Swimsuit issue was shot....
