Rob Manfred does what he does best: Pass off responsibility
Nobody’s right if everybody’s wrongIt’s an oldie, but still true. Perhaps it’s unfair to the Dodgers that perhaps the enduring image of their World Series win will be Justin Turner returning to the field to celebrate after testing positive for COVID-19. Maybe that’s what Turner and the Dodgers deser...
The Big Ten should have never reversed course, that much is clear
The Big Ten had done the right thing. They looked at a sports landscape ravaged by the virus, and decided to shelve the football season. ...
Donald Trump and Justin Turner chose to be COVID-19 Superspreaders
Seven days before the 2020 Presidential Election ends, and on the night that the 2020 World Series Champions were crowned, two selfish and privileged white men that had, and have, tested positive for the coronavirus, decided that Tuesday night was the perfect time to expose people to a deadly virus....
WTF Justin Turner
If you turned off the TV, put down your phone, and went to bed after the Dodgers won their first title since 1988, you missed the drama that will forever mark this weird, neutral-site World Series, at the end of this weird, pandemic-altered baseball season, in this weird, hellish year....

Baker Mayfield needs to beat a real damn team before crowning him
It’s Trash Talking Tuesday and today I’m trashing all those who, somehow, believe Browns’ quarterback Baker Mayfield has arrived because he beat the lowly Bengals - again....
DeAndre Hopkins 'swerves' through MAGA caravan in Ferrari, middle fingers up
Part of the reason we love sports is watching girls and guys live out dreams that we’re not capable of. And sometimes they do it in more of a baller fashion than we’ve ever conceived. Most of it takes place on the field — a great play with a dash of swag that only comes from the confidence of being ...
Week 7 Powerless Rankings: Did your favorite NFL team make the bottom 5?
After another week of football in the National Football League, we have had the pleasure of seeing some outstanding teams battle....
Momentum is tomorrow’s starting pitcher and other drugs
It’s one of the oldest cliches in baseball, which means it’s one of the oldest cliches in American society. But it happens to be true. Whatever happens in the previous game doesn’t really carry over. We just assign that after the fact when it fits to try and make sense of a game that rarely doesn’t ...
After the Dodgers' latest choke, here are some other guys who absolutely sucked at fielding
In appreciation of the Los Angeles Dodgers losing Game 4 of the 2020 World Series in spectacular fashion, reminding us all that defense — bad defense — can decide baseball games, we thought we’d take a look back at the worst fielders we’ve ever seen....

Athletes' calls for voting reform were justified. Do better, America

Antonio Brown (and Tom Brady's enabling) just latest in NFL full of problematic men — time for women to take a stand
There’s a thing men do that drives women crazy. It’s when, upon becoming fathers, they suddenly care about women, often beginning their soapbox sermons against sexism and misogyny with “as the father of a daughter . . .”...
Sit down, jerk — the flag doesn’t have cancer
The sentiment has been echoed a million times on the political right, so let’s just go with the latest one, which earned one-time “Punky QB” Jim McMahon some kudos from The Federalist and revoked any punk cred he ever had:...
Let's all say a prayer for Derek Carr as he stares at a possible all-backup O-line Sunday
Here is where the NFL is now with COVID-19. This Sunday, the Raiders’ franchise quarterback very well could be counting on an entire offensive line made up of backups....
Wilson spouting off on humanity of Antonio Brown is insulting and, yes, even DangerRuss
Further illustrating how the NFL has outlined our utter failure, if not caused it, was professional and self-appointed morality-sensor Russell Wilson clamoring for the Seahawks to sign Antonio Brown. I can’t really add any more to this than DeArbea already did, but Wilson needing to chime in is tr...
