USC craps out in Vegas, but Trojans were playing entirely with house money

If you told USC fans before the season that the eulogy for the Trojans’ College Football Playoff hopes wouldn’t be penned until after the conference title game, their reaction would’ve been euphoric.

Let the King hold court on any subject, especially Jerry Jones

Whataboutism is a dangerous game. The comparison of apples to oranges, as opposed to just Honeycrisps and Fujis, appears to be the necessary pivot to distract from an actual issue.

It’s never been easier to rebuild or bottom out in college football

The transfer window for college football players doesn’t officially open until Dec. 5., but that hasn’t stopped disgruntled wide receivers, linemen, linebackers, QBs, running backs, and every other position from making their intentions known.

What does Jack Edwards have to be so smug about anyway?

The idea of a particular villain, a true public enemy, still exists for most hockey fanbases.

Kobe Bryant’s daughter having a stalker should be a bigger story in the NBA

The 5 best landing spots for Jacob deGrom

Oft-injured, but damn near unhittable when healthy, former New York Mets ace Jacob deGrom was bound to draw numerous suitors once free agency started, and while the rumors haven’t been circulating at quite the speed we expected, deGrom’s market has heated up recently, but the heat hasn’t come from t...

Steve Ballmer has got to be sick thinking about how good his Clippers could be

Coming into the season, the Los Angeles Clippers were viewed as one of the favorites to represent the Western Conference in the NBA Finals.

The way the Washington Commanders honored Sean Taylor was an 'epic fail'

Over the weekend, the Washington Commanders revealed a new “statue” memorializing Sean Taylor, a former safety who played for the organization from 2004-07, earning two Pro Bowl nods before his death at 24 years old.

Lotta goals in the desert - World Cup Daily Diary: Day 8

There may have been more exciting games or more dramatic endings in this tournament, but there hasn’t been one with more intrigue combined with a higher quality of play than this one.

Ronda Rousey is still so bad at this

For those of us that had the initial burst of hope when Triple H took over creative for WWE, the status of the company after last night’s Survivor Series: War Games PPV PLE was about as sobering as seeing flashing lights in your rearview at 3 a.m. The company has one champ that puts on great matches...

Deion Sanders to Colorado is the 'fish out of water' comedy I want to see

It’s a comedic style we’ve seen in Hollywood plenty over the years. The fish-out-of-water mentality. Pluck the main character from their established world and place them into a weird situation where any semblance of normality is gone. Legally Blonde nails it. So does The Jerk.
