Kadarius Toney almost made it through Super Bowl Opening Night without saying something stupid

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 ...

A week in Las Vegas: Godspeed to those embarking upon that journey for Super Bowl week
The best Las Vegas experience is usually one that is a whirlwind. A couple of days of cards, dice, shows, and booze that goes by so fast the most vivid memory of the trip might be time spent at Harry Reid International Airport. Vegas at warp speed is the best way to go, but that does not work for th...

Your guide to hate-watching Super Bowl 58’s Chiefs-49ers rerun

The NFL’s sole desire to get Taylor Swift in the Super Bowl? Money
So let me get this straight: The NFL is in bed with the left, Taylor Swift, President Joe Biden and Travis Kelce all in order to what? Improve Biden’s poll numbers and alienate a segment of its fanbase that’s been unwavering in its loyalty since Colin Kaepernick started kneeling in protest of police...

RIP Lil’ Baby Kay-Kay and the Greganator
With companies valuing IP over substance, it makes sense that Fox would demote Greg Olsen for Tom Brady, despite the former treating NFL fans to one of the best booths in the league, if not the best, for the past couple seasons.

Naming flights after Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce isn't going to fix the airline industry
The airline industry seems to think it can distract the people. It thinks that it can divert our attention away from that horrifying social media video of deployed oxygen masks on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 because a portion of the jet detached and fell into the sky. My attention is still s...

The Ravens and Lions have no one to blame but themselves
They say you should “act like you’ve been there before.” Well, this version of the Baltimore Ravens, and any edition of the Detroit Lions, hadn’t — so they acted as such. The Chiefs and the 49ers have, and it showed....

Kelce retires; Pete Carroll isn't having it; Dan Quinn gets dunked; Jerry Jones keeps on Jerry Jonesing
When it was announced last week that the Seattle Seahawks were moving in a different direction at head coach, the news caught many by surprise. It was framed as though Pete Carroll and the organization had mutually agreed that Carroll would step out of the way and into an advisor’s role. But now wit...

Baker Mayfield has that mischievousness about him again
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ margin for error coming into the season was pretty high for a team that had low expectations and a quarterback the rest of the league passed on. They have a receiving corps that’s healthy, deep and full of playmakers to go with a defense that’s also healthy and rife with bi...
