NFL Sunday Ticket is being sold, but how will it change?
Cable/satellite isnât dead, but itâs hanging onto life by a thread, and the biggest reason why many people still have cable is leaving very soon. DirecTV has been the only place for NFL Sunday Ticket for several years now. While an average NFL fan may only want CBS or FOX for their local team, sport...
The war on the âhorns downâ gesture continues
Clowning the University of Texas has become somewhat of a tradition on this website. It may be the delusional self-perception, the overrated and underperforming football team, Steve Sarkisian, a racist fight song, or any matter of Friday Night Lights-type drama that seems to bubble out of Austin eve...
Fight fire with fire, burning with fear
You have to hand it to Avalanche coach Jared Bednar. He does have one of the best checking centers in the NHL at his disposal in Nazem Kadri. It would be easy, explicable, and defensible to just toss Kadri over the boards every time the Oilers put Connor McDavid out there, and be done with it. After...
American Athletes who gave their lives in service
It may be rare these days, but there was a time when some of the best athletes in America went off to fight in wars. Some did so willingly, others were drafted....
You should root for the Florida Panthers
I know thereâs a lot of obstacles. First off, hockey is probably the most provincial sport we have, and once everyoneâs team is out, those fans tend to not give a fuck about whatever happens next. Weâve spent so much time coming up with reasons to hate everyone else itâs impossible to change gears. ...
The Mocking 2022 NFL Draft: Which realistic picks would anger their fans the most?
If youâve followed this NFL Draft closely, you know that consensus isnât exactly a thing. Thereâs no quarterback prospect worth lusting over, and even if that wonât stop teams from reaching on one, we wonât have a storyline until Chicago actually drafts Mitch Trubisky with the No. 2 overall pick....
Can we please get an LS-U <em>30 for 30</em> already?
Itâs hard to quantify what makes a thing charismatic. I recently went to New Orleans for the first time, and before I arrived, I was a little skeptical because often when people canât shut up about how great something is, the expectation is set so high that anything but perfection is going to be a l...
Johnny Hockey is on one
Pacific time zone hockey tends to get ignored in the same fashion as west coast baseball. Itâs hard to win an MVP or another award when your games are on at 9 and 10pm, as youâre cutting into hockey writersâ drinking time. You have to put on a world-class and ear-shattering whining campaign to get s...
The entire LSU basketball team is gone
Sanctions are coming, Will Wade is gone, and the Tigers arenât sticking around to find out what it looks like. LSU basketball might not be receiving the death penalty from the NCAA for their former coachâs infractions, but the team itself has sent the program into a virtual death spiral....
Goodbye and good riddance to Will Wade
It took way too long to oust Will Wade from his place atop LSU menâs basketball, but the deserved guillotine finally made its swift chop on Saturday afternoon, a major moment in the 4-year-plus NCAA investigation into wrongdoing surrounding his time in Baton Rouge. Wade was fired with cause, meaning...
Auburn keeping Bryan Harsin, this should totally work out well
For better or for worse, Auburn is saving themselves from throwing $18 million down the drain (for now), announcing Friday that Bryan Harsin will remain the Tigersâ head football coach into the 2022 season. Harsin has had quite the week, one that started out by trending on Twitter for having an affa...
Auburn beats Kentucky, could get first AP No. 1 ranking in school history
With a decisive victory against the Kentucky Wildcats, the perennial kings of the SEC, the Auburn Tigers have likely made school history (not to jinx them or anything). At 18-1, this yearâs squad is positioned to reach the No. 1 seed for the first time since the AP began ranking teams in the late ...
Darryl Sutter might look like Sam the Eagle but heâs doing that thing again
Merely by looking at him, and certainly when you hear him talk, itâs easy to dismiss Darryl Sutter as the hilt of old-school NHL coaches. Throw in the fact that he was nothing more than a bottom-six grinder in his playing career, and youâd be forgiven for concluding that he would send his teams out ...
NFL Sunday Ticket on a streaming service? Yes... PLEASE! đ
The dream may finally soon become a reality: NFL Sunday Ticket accessible without a satellite dish. The Athletic reported in September that the NFLâs preferred destination for Sunday Ticket is Apple, but this process is obviously going to be a competition with the rights going to the highest bidder....
Why even play the games, CFP committee?
The second set of College Football Playoff rankings was released last night, much to the dismay of anyone who really still thought the playoff committee wasnât microdosing quaaludes every Saturday before turning on the television. For those of you out there thinking, you just complained about this l...
LSU, USC head coach candidate deniers auditioning for vacancies this weekend
Iâm about as sick of the college football coaching carousel chatter as Mike Tomlin. I know reporters are obligated to ask these questions, but itâs like asking a child standing in front of a puddle of spilt milk, âDid you do this?â There needs to be a word for asking a question you know youâre not g...
Ed Orgeronâs departure is a prime example of the cultural problem with college athletics
The Ed Orgeron tenure at LSU will be officially over at the end of the 2021 season....
A steal of home, a catwalk, a double punt, and more in wild night
There were just a handful of games going on last night, but enough fodder produced from both to last as long as that box of Graham Crackers in your pantry....
Thursday Night Football is a rematch of the 2020 BCS Championship â but the real story is Urban Meyerâs incompetence
Some people consider Trevor Lawrenceâs Clemson career one of the greatest college careers of all-time. The man never lost a regular-season game, won a National Championship, and was promptly drafted first overall as soon as he became eligible....
Rondo returns to Los Angeles through Salary Cap Magic
The Lakers are going to bring back Rajon Rondo, according to ESPNâs Adrian Wojnarowski, the latest example of why the NBAâs salary cap is the only good salary cap in sports....
