SB LVIII was the Special Teams Bowl
Because of Tik-Tok, Patrick Mahomes’ game-winning drive may be what history remembers most about Super Bowl LVIII. But special teams and the role that kickers played on Sunday night in Las Vegas were the real story. It’s called FOOTball for a reason....

The big takeaway from Sunday night’s Super Bowl is that creep in your DMs might just be The Messiah. But then, that’s not really all that surprising, is it? Given what’s been done in his name lately? ...

Harrison Butker one-ups Jake Moody, eclipses Super Bowl-record FG
San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody set a Super Bowl record by converting a 55-yard field goal in the second quarter. That mark fell quickly as Harrison Butker bested it by hitting a 57-yarder for the Kansas City Chiefs....
Everything you missed before and during the Super Bowl
If you didn’t tune in to the Big Game until after the action started on the field, have no fear. All you missed was one of the worst pre-game shows in the history of television, laden with so much craven advertising that the Puppy Bowl looked like it was on PBS by comparison. We had a bizarre Sunday...
Joe Thuney sidelined for Super Bowl LVIII
Kansas City Chiefs lineman Joe Thuney was officially ruled out of Super Bowl LVIII due to a pectoral injury. ...
Deadspin predicts the Super Bowl LVIII winner
A Detroit Lions-Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl was the matchup with all the storylines and drama. Instead, we’re getting a rematch of Super Bowl LIV.

Nikita Kucherov makes mockery of All-Star Weekend; Here's to Devin Hester; The Royals are finally spending?
There’s a fallacy out there that any All-Star Game is “for the fans.” That idea flew out the window long ago, especially for the NBA and NHL. The All-Star Game is merely a junket for the league’s biggest sponsors to get the chance to hobnob with the game’s top stars, a reward for their support of th...
SB LVIII even too expensive for the rich; A Swifties guide to the game; Poor Mama Kelce; What's Brock Purdy have to do with Lee Harvey Oswald?
Unfettered capitalism is putting some restraints on the top one percent enjoying one of its biggest parties of the year. With the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, luxury suites have reached the highest of high-roller prices. These seven-figure suites are out of the price range for even some of the biggest s...
Super Bowl LVIII: Forget the moneyline, make these prop bets instead
This is the Super Bowl made for gambling. The American Gaming Association estimates that Americans will wager a combined $23.1 billion on the Big Game this year, up from $16 billion year-over-year. Whether it’s your first time betting on the big game or you’re a seasoned vet, you don’t want to be pl...
Lamar Jackson and the players to win multiple NFL MVP awards
Thursday night’s NFL Awards dinner put Lamar Jackson in elite company. The Baltimore Ravens quarterback became just the 11th signal-caller to win multiple AP NFL MVP Awards. Jackson snuck in past Brett Favre and Patrick Mahomes to become the second-youngest multi-time MVP winner behind Jim Brown. In...
The Swifties Guide to Super Bowl LVIII
With the Super Bowl getting closer, one of the biggest storylines is not about the teams or the players, but about Taylor Swift and her presence at the games. Some people hate seeing her there — namely conservatives — and think she is ruining football, while others are watching football for the firs...
Patrick Mahomes is making a run at Tom Brady's legacy of excellence
Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes are the alpha and omega of NFL supremacy at the NFL’s most important position. With every passing season, Mahomes creeps closer and closer to Brady’s legacy of excellence. There’s only so much Mahomes can do in one Super Bowl though. ...
San Francisco 49ers have a health advantage over the Chiefs in the Super Bowl
Even with the bye week, there is no way that San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are at their healthiest going into Super Bowl LVIII. They have been popping pads against the rest of the NFL for 19-20 weeks. Extensive treatment and rehab will be necessary to get those bodies back to optimum he...
Best individual Super Bowl moments by Chiefs and 49ers players
The Kansas City Chiefs are making their sixth Super Bowl appearance. This will be the seventh trip to the Big Game for the San Francisco 49ers. ...
The NFL's multi-billion dollar empire has a lawn-care problem
If there is one aspect of sports in which the NFL should have an unquestioned expertise, it should be in the maintenance of its playing surfaces. If the NBA and NHL can share stadiums and puzzle piece courts together over ice, then the NFL should be able to have the grass in pristine condition at th...
First woman, openly gay NFL coach torn over which of her former teams to root for in Super Bowl
Katie Sowers was a member of Kyle Shanahan’s coaching staff the last time the San Francisco 49ers were in the Super Bowl. That was back in 2020, when the Niners took on the Kansas City Chiefs, whom Sowers would join as an offensive assistant the following season....
And the highest payroll in the AL Central goes to . . . the Kansas City Royals?
If there’s a surer sign that baseball has had a winter of discontent, at least for everyone outside the LA metro area, it’s that the highest payroll in the American League Central belongs to the Kansas City Royals. That’s after they inked star shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. to an 11-year extension that’s ...
Kadarius Toney almost made it through Super Bowl Opening Night without saying something stupid
The Kansas City Chiefs allowed Kadarius Toney to board their charter flight to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl. With only one game remaining on the schedule, the Chiefs have no reason to limit the pool of players available to play on Sunday. Even if that player disputed the reason he was listed as inac...
Of course Travis Kelce wasn’t going to the Grammys, but imagine the reaction if he did
Travis Kelce didn’t miss too much on Grammy night 2024. Los Angeles is not the most fun place to be when an atmospheric river is parked over it like the alien ship in Independence Day. Gloomy and wet is not how Southern California is usually described. While there would have certainly been a damper ...
