COVID-19 wins another day — will probably soon start yelling, 'SCOREBOARD!'
It’s an easy headline to grab, because it’s been the case every day for eight months. And the havoc the virus is wreaking in sports pales in comparison to that which it is doing in everyday life.

Jim Nantz wants CBS to pay him like someone with a personality
In some ways you can’t begrudge Jim Nantz for asking for the bag. He probably looks to his right most Sundays, sees the Jerry Lewis soundboard that is Tony Romo, and figures A) Just by having to sit next to that overrated, handsome gas bag for four hours a week is worth $17 million a year. And B) If...

Turns out NHL owner greed is right on time for once & could save lives — no, really
The NHL’s return to action this summer came after negotiations not only to solidify health and safety protocols, but on a new collective bargaining agreement.

The NBA and NHL are just making things up now
It’s certainly strange to be in hockey and basketball preseason with Thanksgiving next week.

But that’s 2020 for you, as both the NHL and NBA co...
Vince McMahon squeezes fingers tighter with Zelina Vega release; how much more will slip through?
At first it seemed something of just a run-of-the-mill, Friday news dump from WWE. Releasing a mid-card (at best) female performer/manager in Zelina Vega isn’t a huge shock, given how WWE has trimmed its roster during the pandemic despite record profits.
