We need to redefine what an ‘expert’ is in sports media
One of my favorite parts of NFL coverage is no matter how bad you were at your job, you qualify as an expert because some clueless owner made the mistake of hiring you. Imagine if you hired a plumber, he came over and not only didn’t unclog your toilet but clogged the others in the house and was so ...
People are still out there wishing death on high schoolers for their college choices
We learned a lot in 2020, most of it sad and depressing. In the moments when we weren’t terrified, mourning, angry, or all of the above, some of us might have turned on sporting events once the UFC got back to broadcasting events and the NBA concluded the 2019-20 season in The Bubble. Sports looked ...
It's 50 years after the passage of Title IX, and I’m done being grateful
Title IX turns 50 this month and, although the law is responsible for so much progress, the work is unfinished. The celebrations and acknowledgements are on the way, but for years women who play sports have been required to be thankful for scraps, and those days are over....
Yeah, this Romelu Lukaku thing is going to be a problem
Well, a problem for anyone who isn’t a Chelsea supporter at least, which the most annoying of my close friends just happens to be. So that’s great. And no, I don’t mean colleague Julie DiCaro, though I’m sure she’ll be rocketing up the list this season. Also great. (Ed. Note: - Blue is the color! Fo...

Mike Polisky stepping down as Northwestern AD is something we can all celebrate
It’s still a week where some states’ proposals to “placate” athletes’ desire to be compensated for their work and likeness still involve schools poaching 75 percent of said athletes’ income from such things. But still, it’s fun and satisfying to mark when a school has to take a step back, admit it w...

Barfstool reads Deadspin editor’s new book aloud on YouTube (and, uhh, that’s illegal)
Barstool Sports is not only a company that straight-up promotes online harassment, racism, misogyny, and blatant sexism – they are built upon such a foundation. They use social media platforms to stir up their mouthbreathing cronies against a perceived enemy, and then use that hatred and gross behav...
