2021 will start with Notre Dame being turned into plasma as we return to normalcy
We all look very forward to 2020 being over. 2021 won’t be unique, in that it will start with Notre Dame having their asshole pulled through their nose once again on a national stage. Other years have had that jumpstart. But it’s hard to argue that it won’t be a nice fillip for everyone after the da...

Charles Barkley and Kyrie Irving are bad messengers making [some] decent points
This is like when an offensive player gets called for holding, and a defensive player gets called for clipping, but the penalties offset, so you replay third down. ...
Heart condition sidelines Henrik Lundqvist for season
It was always going to be very weird to see a Rangers team without Henrik Lundqvist and a Capitals team with him this upcoming season, assuming the NHL and players can ever figure out when and how that will happen. Frighteningly, we will not see the latter scenario, as Lundqvist has announced he wil...
This weekend is about Golovkin and Canelo fighting each other a third time
Matchroom Boxing promoter Eddie Hearn showed up to the press conference in a “Team ‘GGG’ Golovkin.” Gennadiy Golovkin seemed flattered....
Fantasy Football Semifinals: Here are the QBs and RBs to help you take the crown
So, you made it through your first round of the playoffs and you’re on to the semifinals. Congratulations! I would like to take a moment to pat my degenerate self on the back — of 27 fantasy football rosters, I had 17 make the playoffs, and all 17 are on to the next round. That was easily my best we...
Not even a pandemic could stop the Scott Boras mangled-metaphor train from running on time
It’s become perhaps the most anticipated tradition of MLB’s Winter Meetings, if only because it’s been echoed so many times by a baseball press desperate for anyone to tell them anything. Long gone are the days of writers and GMs getting loaded in the hotel bar after every game, with the executive l...
James Harden might not need cheesesteaks
I don’t want to be hard on James Harden. We all ... look different after this year. Cooped up in our house, downing comfort foods more often than we have in the five years previous combined. For me, it’s peanut butter M&Ms. You have yours. Something you run to when it all gets too much, which it doe...
MLB owners' concern over vaccine is really just them telling on themselves, for the 738th time
If it feels like MLB owners are always coming here for an argument, that’s pretty much because they always are. While the comatose-snail-slow free agent and trade market can be partially traced to the usual, contemporary miserliness of the cabal of 30 (though most certainly not collusion, no sir), a...

It’s a Trash Talking Tuesday, and today I’m trashing NBA commissioner Adam Silver for pushing the players back on the court too soon....

Arsenal had better hope this is bottom
For the past few years in the Premier League, there’s been a “Big 6” and the rest. The hope has been that some team from outside that aristocratic cabal could crash the party and stay, like Everton or or Leicester or West Ham, all teams that have at least the resources to compete at that level. Anyt...
Dan Bailey is a slide whistle and a sad trombone
You can set your watch to Minnesota sports. The Twins will never win a playoff game, the Timberwolves will see anyone with a name you can remember leave to accomplish anything, and no one will ever remember the Wild even exist, as everyone is more concerned with the Gophers anyway. And the Vikings w...
