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...
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.

It was a gloriously fun moment for baseball fans (though decidedly not actual Rays fans) to...

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.

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...

One year in, don’t be fooled by AEW’s WWE alumni
AEW and TNT have both always said they’re in it for the long haul. But if you had told them before they started their weekly cable show a year ago that they’d have to hit pause on the promotion just six months in, they might have hedged their bets a bit. But, with some secret locations, a pretty ful...
