Robert Saleh letting his thumbs do the talking could lead him out of NY
This latest New York Jets drama would only be strange if it happened to another team. But at this point, we’ve come to expect this craziness from the Jets. NYC host for WFAN, Joe Benigno, claims Jets head coach Robert Saleh texted him a “litany of head coaches and what their record is without their ...

Stephen A. Smith’s future at ESPN could be up in 18 months if the money isn’t right....
Tate Rodemaker was robbed of an opportunity to join the pantheon of iconic backup quarterbacks
If anyone should be feeling the price of inflation today, it should be backup quarterbacks, whose stock just skyrocketed. Last week, Matt Rhule made headlines in his press conference by announcing that the (NIL) cost for “a good quarterback in the portal costs $1 million to $1.5 million to $2 millio...
NFL quarterbacks are becoming an endangered species
It is hard enough to find a starting-caliber NFL quarterback. There certainly are not 32 in the league right now. Finding one in the draft is like discovering that your grandma’s furniture is a valuable antique. ...
If the Bengals and Jags fall in the forest, do they make a sound?
Ever watch two teams, at the same time, trapped in a simulation, a pantomime, merely a dramatization of a football game? Either with the full knowledge that they are trapped within the parameters of a social experiment that they cannot escape? Or unaware of the boundaries placed upon them?...
How to hate-watch the rest of the NBA's In-Season Tournament, Part I
The NBA In-Season Tournament’s single elimination stage tips off this week. Human nature drives us to dump on new things and the IST has inspired a whole host of reasons to hate it. There’s a lot not to like. The scoring differentials playing a role in who advances, the personalized courts playing l...
Minshew-mania is over, but Gardner Minshew is still plugging away
Gardner Minshew is part-Kenny Powers and part-Shane Falco. Josh Dobbs can learn a little something from Gardner Minshew’s journey. Dobbs’ Linsanity-esque run feels like it’s reaching its inevitable denouement, but he still has a long career ahead of him in some shape or form....
Saints' Alvin Kamara did a number on this sideline official's leg
Let’s get the content warning out of the way: While not as gruesome as, say, slow motion video of Joe Theisman’s leg swinging the opposite way it’s supposed to, the video of Saints running back Alvin Kamara rolling up on a sideline official is not exactly pleasant to watch. Proceed with caution and ...
The week in MLB: Cody Bellinger's free agency twist, Luis Severino changes boroughs, Nelson Cruz lands role with Dodgers
On the surface, Cody Bellinger’s life is about to get better no matter what. He was a down-ballot MVP candidate last season who’s heading into free agency, as well as a former MVP and Rookie of the Year. He would have been labeled a unicorn back in the day, given his ability to play Gold Glove-level...
The week in the NBA: Josh Giddey accusations drama, Ball brothers injury bug, Jason Kidd loses it for no reason
When you continue to embrace a man who reportedly impregnated a 13-year-old when he was in college, and honor that same man regularly by inviting him to marquee league events (like the 2023 All-Star Game) alongside Kareem Abdul Jabbar and LeBron James, it makes it really hard to discipline a current...

Deion Sanders’ first year at Colorado proved how gullible people can be
Before the 2023 season started, ESPN’s Tom Luginbill said that Colorado might have the worst roster in college football. By the end of the 2023 regular season, Deion Sanders was strictly focused on the future, given that he had failed at the present....
You're reading this correctly: The Kings might actually be the best team in hockey
You’d be forgiven if you’ve lost track of the Los Angeles Kings for a while. We’re coming up on 10 years since their last Stanley Cup. They haven’t won a round in the playoffs since, with four pretty inglorious dirt naps in the first round in the interim. They threw up (maybe literally) some pretty ...
From Christian Pulisic to Gio Reyna, we rank the US men's soccer team
Chaos is a ladder, said Lord Baelish. Especially when it comes to international soccer, where injuries, manager changes — both with country and club — a bad transfer or run of form can shift a player’s standing with his national team within a week or two. Getting together only every month or longer ...
These are the all-time NBA starting fives
While debating politics over Thanksgiving can cause irreplaceable family fissures, debating the all-time starting fives for each NBA team holds way fewer stakes. There are many different ways to build an all-time starting five, all of which illicit strong reactions. Some people prefer to choose the ...
Aaron Rodgers can't stop being a total idiot
It’s been nearly two weeks since America last rolled their eyes at Aaron Rodgers, thus giving him the attention he so desperately craves, so you knew he was going to say something galaxy-brained and bone-headed before the week was up. Luckily, we have Pat McAfee paying him for that, so we were not d...
For one week, at least, Monday Night Football regained its crown as king of must-see NFL action
I have lived long enough to be aware that there are people who have no idea of the enormity of Monday Night Football. The Brady-Manning Bowl of 2005 was an MNF broadcast. For three and a half decades, there was no bigger regular-season NFL stage than that primetime matchup on ABC. ...
