Behold: My list of most memorable wrestling matches from 2023
The best time of year, when you get to go back through all the wrestling you watched and definitely not think your life has a sum total of jack and sh*t. Better to focus on trying to get back to the feeling that these matches generated inside of you when you were watching live, because that’s the wh...
This week in MLB: Yamamoto's free agency adds more spice than Ohtani's; moves galore across the hot stove
The Yoshinobu Yamamoto sweepstakes are infinitely more interesting and illuminating than Shohei Ohtani’s free agency for many reasons: People have been allowed to report on them, there seem to be more suitors than just the Dodgers and a couple are based in the last few baseball-rabid markets in Amer...
This week in the NFL, NCAA: A Black vs. white game?; Aaron Rodgers fooling no one; Chargers coaching intrigue; time to talk MVP Award
The Week 15 finale on Monday Night Football has the biggest NFC playoff ramifications of any game on the slate. The Philadelphia Eagles travel to Seattle to face the Seahawks in a game neither can afford to lose this late in the season. It’s pretty apropos of these teams closing out Week 15, seeing ...
Zion Williamson and Anthony Edwards are why Gen-Z athletes need NDAs
You can usually tell the age of an athlete by how and where messy gossip about them is revealed. TMZ is one thing. Having a “scorned lover” display your personal life on the internet is another — and a sign that you’re probably a member of Gen Z who doesn’t know the value of non-disclosure agreement...
Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s free agency is a lot more interesting because there’s a lot less Dodgers
The Yoshinobu Yamamoto sweepstakes are infinitely more interesting and illuminating than Shohei Ohtani’s free agency for many reasons: People have been allowed to report on them, there seem to be more suitors than just the Dodgers and a couple are based in the last few baseball-rabid markets in Amer...
The Los Angeles Chargers epitomize the frustrations of Black coaches in the NFL
A Black coach was fired at the beginning of 2021. But instead of the team with the Offensive Rookie of the Year hiring the hottest offensive coordinator in the league, who was Black, they chose a white coach. After two and a half seasons, that white coach was fired because he was worse than the Blac...
MLS proves once more it is a deeply unserious league
The Friday news dump has been generally found out for what it is. A way for slimy organizations to try to sneak another piece of larceny or incompetence or just generally distasteful act past the goalie of our awareness without the normal level of scrutiny. By now, the actual act of releasing news a...
Using a dead Kobe Bryant as a symbol of LA sports culture is very late-stage capitalism
The Los Angeles Dodgers pulled out all the stops for their Shohei Ohtani pitch. That included bringing back Kobe Bryant from the dead. ...
This week in sports: Patrick Mahomes' WR is a moron; Rick DeSantis does Rick DeSantis; Man United do themselves in
While it’s hard to resist the temptation to point out noticing when a team that has Matt Nagy anywhere near it is melting down, because I know it oh, so well, the Kansas City Chiefs have bigger problems than that. When everyone is blaming the refs over a totally correct call, it’s pretty obvious the...
This week in MLB: Does Shohei Ohtani really improve LA?; Julio Urias facing charges; Tyler Glasnow has a week to remember
Much like Susie Izzard (Drink!) says chiropractors “LIVE FOR THE NOISE!” I too live for the noise of the offseason. We can’t get much more than Shohei Ohtani and his reps donated to us, or at least their methods of sending the baseball press into orbit did. There should be much more to come, but the...
Royals having busy offseason signing lowest-tier free agents
In the shock of the MLB offseason, the Kansas City Royals have been one of the league’s most active teams in free agency. While the Dodgers are locking up the biggest names, the Royals are dishing out deals to every player you forgot was still playing. In total, Kansas City has already committed $10...
Can we please find a way to fire Dean Spanos, too?
With the Chargers season officially over, the team finally removed the tumor that was its coach and general manager, firing coach Brandon Staley and GM Tom Telesco. After another dismal showing, amid a depressing season that caps a now discontinued and pitiful tenure, the Chargers’ fortunes are sure...
Brandon Staley, Chargers GM fired after historic, embarrassing loss
Following a historic loss to the Las Vegas Raiders, the Los Angeles Chargers fired head coach Brandon Staley and GM Tom Telesco, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter....
Chargers subreddit becomes about phone chargers, not team
Things are looking very bleak for the Los Angeles Chargers. Not only is Justin Herbert done for the year, but the Bolts went out and got absolutely torched by the Raiders to the tune of 63-21 on Thursday Night Football....
For a team that’s going for it, the Dodgers seem to be living on the edge
The Dodgers are certainly the story of the offseason already. Tends to happen when you sign the biggest free agent in history with the biggest contract in history that also is kind of the weirdest contract in history. They’re also not done, apparently. ...
Caitlin Clark is cleaning up in NIL, but college athletes still aren’t getting close to what they deserve
Some money is better than no money until you realize how much more money you should be getting....
Easton Stick might want to get used to losing
In the second consecutive season of many NFL teams having a revolving door at quarterback, Easton Stick is one of the latest unproven backups thrust into a starting gig....
An open invitation for Buster Posey to screw off
As we mentioned last night, the San Francisco Giants are in full ass-covering mode after missing out on their third prime free agent. They whiffed on Arson Aaron Judge, couldn’t get over Carlos Correa’s ankle, and then Shohei Ohtani figured out life is pretty easy when you don’t have to move and you...
It took more than a quarter of the NBA season, but it looks like Phoenix's Big 3 will finally suit up together
There was a lot of excitement surrounding what was supposed to be the debut of the new Phoenix Suns “Big Three” of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. TNT’s Reggie Miller was so geared up for it that he had to be notified live on air that Durant had been ruled out of the Suns’ matchup again...
Manchester United didn't even show up
They could have at least tried. ...
