Patriots roster is lacking, but at least their quarterback is willing to try to make a game changing play
In the oppressive South Florida humidity, the New England Patriots’ Week 1 loss to the Miami Dolphins was excusable — even more so after the Dolphins’ second-half comeback on the road against the Baltimore Ravens yesterday....
Former Zero turned hero, Tagovailoa has Dolphins Tua-0
From zero to hero has never described a quarterback’s resurgence so aptly as it does Tua Tagovailoa in Week 2. The steam may still be emanating off of the Dolphins quarterback after he caught fire in the first half and outdueled Miami native Lamar Jackson. A few weeks ago, Dolphins fans openly fanta...
Someone think of a name for the Indianapolis Colts' curse in Jacksonville
Maybe the Indianapolis Colts didn’t choke in their final game of the 2021 season....
Lamar Jackson continues to make a compelling case for $200 million in guaranteed money
Lamar Jackson is bringing the pain....
The D-List, Week 3: Anthony Richardson’s been the nation’s most disappointing QB
Welcome to the D-List. It’s the Deadspin Dean’s list for the absolute worst of the weekend in college football. The beauty of college football is that we witness raw football talent being molded every week before our very eyes. This is a place for the sloppy sculptures of talent, the gridiron undera...
Someone might want to check to see if Boone is still standing
Appalachian State earned its first appearance on ESPN’s College Gameday after upsetting then No. 6 Texas A&M in College Station a week ago. Usually, when Kirk Herbstreit, Lee Corso, and the crew roll into town, the game rarely lives up to the pregame festivities....
Nebraska's biggest embarrassment this week wasn't OU, Georgia Southern, or Scott Frost
Every time Nebraska fires a coach — Scott Frost being the fifth straight person to occupy that position and then get shown the door — there’s this narrative that who on earth would want that job. The expectations don’t match the resources, and it’s no longer an attractive gig for big-name coaches....
NFL Week 2: Bears, Texans are favorites among underdog bets
After a Week 1 that saw bettors nail their underdog pick of the week — Chicago over San Francisco — gamblers are riding the hot hand and rolling with Da Bears once again in Week 2 to take down their “owner” Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. However, this time the Bears aren’t alone, they’ve g...
der Fußballbundesliga?
The partnership between the NFL and the German Bundesliga, the top tier of the country’s professional soccer scene, is an interesting pair on its own. They both dominate their domestic markets. Dirk Nowitzki and Leon Draisaitl have come from Deutschland to dominate in North America. Steve Cherundolo...
Brian Kelly vs. Mike Leach, a Notre Dame win watch, and more from college football’s unranked
There are so many good games featuring at least one ranked school this weekend that it’s easy to overlook the unranked matchups that are still compelling this early in the season before teams amass nicks and cuts and flaws and people deem their season a loss. If you’ve only got one TV/screen, you’re...
Commanders primed to replace Lions as NFL’s worst
In back-to-back weeks, the Washington Commanders have circled the drain. In a matchup of turd-bowl franchises racing to the sewers, Sunday’s Week 1 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, Washington didn’t stink for a change. ...
Amazon came to football and no one died
It’s not much of a leap now that a sports broadcast is completely on streaming. The NFL was the last to jump the River Styx (though I guess no one really jumps The Styx), though plenty of people have been watching Monday Night through the ESPN app and the like. But Amazon bought the Thursday Night p...
Geno Smith was always a starting QB
If you think Geno Smith’s performance Monday night was a fluke, you haven’t been paying attention....
Boxing mega-fight: Errol Spence Jr. vs. Terence Crawford in November, possibly
Boxing is finally getting it right....
Chris Paul and LeBron James show Tom Brady and Aaron Rodgers how to wield influence
We could argue all day about who the bigger puddle of vomit come to life is: Dan Snyder or Robert Sarver? The allegations against both are heinous, and no one in their right mind would voluntarily work under them if they didn’t own one of the 30 places to work as an NBA or NFL player. While the inve...
Cordarrelle Patterson kept running past people and finally found his best position
Cordarrelle Patterson’s NFL career began with him as a purple blur for the Minnesota Vikings....
TNF Week 2: Chiefs offense must flow through Travis Kelce for a KC win
I know several fans might be inclined to think this Thursday Night Football game will be lower scoring than we’re anticipating. L.A.’s Keenan Allen was ruled out, and this will be the first time in the Justin Herbert era that the Chiefs will be without Tyreek Hill. However, in case last week wasn’t ...
