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...

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...
Mike Zimmer ups ante on sideline stupidity by scotch-taping mask to face
A taped-on mask is probably the best metaphor we have for the 2020 NFL season....
Sunday Scaries: The Week 14 bets to avoid

MLB Hall of Fame Vets' inaction failing greats of the game like Santo, Allen
Dick Allen’s death on Monday is just the latest failure of the Baseball Hall of Fame. Allen had become a popular candidate in recent years, as the sabermetrics movement showed what a powerful and impactful hitter he was. His raw statistics alone — 351 home runs, a .292 career average — are impressiv...

At Louisville in the time of COVID, someone is kinda looking out for the athletes

Chicago gives Cubs pandemic tax reprieve — residents get tax hike, thumb in eye
There’s seemingly a parade of stories about how the only people not getting utterly fucked during this pandemic are the ones who never get utterly fucked. If you feel like you see something like Tom Brady’s boat purchased with money meant for small businesses, it’s because you do. And if there’s a g...
The NFL doesn’t want you thinking too hard about its latest COVID meltdown
The Panthers didn’t have any new positive coronavirus cases on Wednesday, which is good. The eight players that Carolina had to put on the COVID-19 reserve list this week, not so good....
Big Ten screws over Indiana, rewards COVID-y team with not enough wins
Full disclosure: I went to IU. Historically, we are a basketball school, though even that has fallen in shadow after the glory days of the 80s and early 90s. My point is, we are not, and have never been, a football school....
Coach K is still a weasel
As college basketball continues to be the live-action version of the cartoon dog sitting at his breakfast nook amongst an inferno, it is screaming for someone, anyone, to act like an actual adult. For a group of people that claim to be leaders and shapers of men, no one seems to be acting like eithe...
