The Philadelphia Eagles are getting quite a bit of attention during the offseason.

Grace Harbaugh is the hero we didn’t know we needed
We’ve got some rare raw footage here, folks. Amongst rumors of California schools encroaching on his conference and a near-bottom-of-the B1G 2023 signing class, Michigan head football coach Jim Harbaugh is taking some presumably much-needed family time.

Tua is the most aggressive quarterback in the league? Next Gen Stats, explain yourself<em></em>
I love advanced analytics. At the same time, I know the results that come from analytics can lead people down some pretty insane rabbit holes and toward some pretty hot takes. One stat leads to another, which leads to another, and all of a sudden you’re saying that C.J. Beathard deserves another sho...

It’s time to stop kicking the word ‘superstar’ around the NBA like it’s a game of hacky sack
Some words in the English lexicon get tossed around like loose change on a rollercoaster.

The word “superstar” has become as commonly attached to guys as the word “player.” Yes, the...

This isn’t good for Christian Pulisic
Stages of development aren’t linear, and not every stage as you move along the line are pleasant. As the USMNT has more and more players making their mark in the biggest leagues in the world, one stage before they are main stars on the biggest teams is that they’re going to be shuffled around a bit ...
No one ever gets the ending they want
It’s hard to imagine that’s how Serena Williams would end her career. There’s always the U.S. Open, where she won her first Grand Slam, where she’s rightly worshiped, where some of her biggest wins have come. And yet, it’s hard to see how the U.S. Open will go much better than Wimbledon, where she l...
A round of applause for the Orioles’ mediocrity
The Baltimore Orioles haven’t been good for several years now. The last time they reached the playoffs was 2016. The last time they reached the ALCS, they got swept by the Royals and they’ve finished last in their division in four of the last five seasons....
Supreme Court wades onto the football field for its second absurd ruling of the week
Oh, man. I feel for the American Christian right this week. After the Supreme Court’s decisions on Roe v. Wade, Maine school funding, and a football coach’s right to pray on the field, how will they get to play pretend that they’re being persecuted by society anymore?...

The Atlanta Hawks adding Dejounte Murray would change the entire landscape of the Eastern Conference
