Remember this time a year ago when all we had to wager on was the NFL Draft?...
Please enjoy these three sweet bombs from Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
Young Vlad Guerrero Jr. was some sort of cheat code last night. The Toronto (Dunedin, soon to be Buffalo) Blue Jays player had… a… game. He hit three homers and drove in seven runs. The Jays beat the Nats, 9-5. You do the math: Vlad’s bat won the game on its own....
Mocking the Mock Draft: First-round scenarios sure to piss everyone off

NCAA hoops should follow NFL’s lead on relaxing uniform number rules
If you’ve ever watched college basketball, chances are you’ve never seen anyone wear a number ending in 6-through-9 or exceeding 55. If you’ve ever played a college basketball video game, you could never even create a character with such a number. So if you’ve played MyCareer in a recent NBA2K insta...

Hey Aaron Rodgers, could you not steal our stuff?
I’m going to tell you something that I’m not supposed to, given where I grew up and currently live. I like Aaron Rodgers. You can wave Tom Brady’s six rings in my face all you want, and I’ll still tell you Rodgers is the best QB I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen the dude with a frat house as an offensive li...

Let’s all enjoy the Yankees being ass
I fell into the trap, too. The return to a 162-game season lent a feeling of the Yankees being inevitable in the AL East. After all, the Red Sox simply declined to compete again (though no one seems to have told their players yet), the Blue Jays fel about a year away, and the Orioles smell like a sm...

Marcus Smart passing Larry Bird on all-time Celts’ 3-pointer list is a wake-up call
It’s not a revelation that the NBA today is heavier on three-pointers than it’s ever been. Teams are taking more threes per game than ever before — 34.7 per game, per team, and with good reason: at 36.7 percent, this season’s success rate is the highest of all time....

David Wells shows his ass, water is wet and other knowns
