Daniel Jones brings us all together with less threatening incompetence than debate
There wasn’t much to choose from on Thursday night, that is if you didn’t opt to stream a show you hadn’t gotten to or finished yet to shut out reality. I hear the new season of Fargo is good. If you were looking for live entertainment, your choices boiled down to which version of two balloon-handed...

NFL teams lusting after lowlife Antonio Brown is disgraceful [Updated]
Updated on Friday, Oct. 23 at 7:40 p.m.: According to ESPN, Antonio Brown reached an agreement with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Friday night. The troubled receiver reunites with Tom Brady, and is expected to make his 2020 debut in Week 9....
Minor League Baseball players are justifiably sick of earning ‘$4 an hour’
For many hardcore baseball fans (like me, before I began researching this story), the idea of playing in Minor League Baseball is like the dream before the dream comes true. Sure, we know there are long bus rides, the pay is lousy and there’s a good chance you can end up at Sears selling Lady Kenmor...
There’s no way around it, Michigan is stuck with Jim Harbaugh
As a Saginaw, Mich. native and someone who was accepted into that world-renowned university in Ann Arbor, I don’t remember a time in my life in which I wasn’t a fan of the University of Michigan’s football team....
Dave Roberts still thinks he’s playing Strat-O-Matic
I have to credit Joe Sheehan, who has been using that metaphor for a long while now. Anyway, one of the problems with Dave Roberts as manager, at least in the playoffs, is he just assumes he’ll get production from the back of the baseball card simply because. Mostly, if not solely, this has been the...
Trevor Lawrence should pull an Eli Manning because the Jets are the Jets (all the way!)
Trevor Lawrence should avoid the New York Jets at all costs. ...
Toxic pride is the NFL’s biggest obstacle to a much-needed playoff bubble

Of course Michigan’s emergency stay-at-home order does not apply to its football team
Way back when in August 2020, the Daily Tar Heel, UNC-Chapel Hill’s student newspaper, wrote in a headline that the school had a “clusterfuck” on its hands....
Bellinger and Dodgers’ Kid ’n Play footsie is adorable alternative to hazardous homer celebrations
You could see the playfulness right from the first tap, as Cody Bellinger crossed home plate and morphed into the “Kid” to Max Muncy’s “Play.” Belli just kept on tapping toes the whole way back to the dugout. It was a gloriously fun moment for baseball fans (though decidedly not actual Rays fans) to...
Maybe the Rays needed to use the itchier trigger finger in Game 1
The Tampa Bay Rays don’t wait around. They are even less likely to wait around when their bullpen has had two full days off and all their starters will be on regular rest. For a few years they’ve had an organizational plan, which means they go to the pen when they want, which is usually quickly. And...
Keep your dick in your pants, please
I really didn’t think this piece had to be written. As late as this morning, I was like “Come on, Julie, no one is seriously defending Jeffrey Toobin jerking off during a work meeting.”...
Deadspin Argues About Stuff: Dooley and Foote beef over Tua Time, rookie QBs
Dustin Foote: Alright Donovan, Tua Tagovailoa was just named the starter for the Miami Dolphins. They’ll face the Rams on November 1st after their bye week. Do you like the move to put Tua in now, just under halfway through the season?...
Ex-Astros GM Jeff Luhnow assures you: I did all the good stuff, but none of the cheating
Jeff Luhnow, the disgraced, suspended, and fired general manager of the Astros, has finally spoken publicly, giving a 37-minute interview to Houston NBC affiliate KPRC. And the man who ran the team responsible for baseball’s biggest scandal in a century would like the world to know that it wasn’t hi...

Champions League season begins [yay!] under threat from its flagship clubs [wait, wut?!]
On the day the new Champions League season starts, a seemingly major story breaks about yet another campaign to form a European Superleague. It almost seems too perfect to be a coincidence. Could this report be perfectly placed for maximum effect? Would such a thing ever happen? Would it be most eff...
Don't ever call it Hot-lanta again... it's Choke-lanta
It’s a Trash Talking Tuesday, and today I’m trashing Atlanta as a sports town. ...
If America’s racial reckoning were real, violent lunatic Gregg Marshall would already be fired
A few months ago, white athletes and coaches were marching and standing alongside their Black teammates and players in unity. They had supposedly seen the light. It was finally time for change....

Virgil van Dijk’s injury blows Premier League title race wide open
In what has already been a bonkers EPL season full of goals, blown leads, and surprise teams at the top of the table, perhaps the biggest moment of the season so far occurred in the fifth minute of yesterday’s rubber-room of a Merseyside Derby between Liverpool and Everton. ...
Atlanta Cockatoos finally look like pro franchise against tax accountant disguised as Vikings QB
