Arsenal is all grown up
While Arsenal ran Manchester City close for most of the campaign last season, when the chips were down in the spring they got mauled by the Citizens twice, as well as other boneheaded results that eventually left them up the track. It was this version of Arsenal’s first crack at a title challenge, s...

Bronny James will have to speak for himself — eventually
You’ve known about him for years. You’ve read about how he’s worth millions via NIL. And you’ve seen his highlights. But, have you actually heard him speak? Probably not. And more than likely that trend will continue on Tuesday night when Bronny James takes part in the 2023 McDonald’s All-American G...

Serena Williams calls it a career
One of the greatest athletes ever has signaled the end of her playing career.

1-2-3, All Lives Matter! — Drew Brees joins Mike Tirico to call football games
After Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd had all been murdered, and before Jacob Blake got shot in the back seven times, the NFL began its 2020 season on a Thursday night in Kansas City, where the limited number of fans in the stands decided to boo a moment of unity....

We'll never see another Doc Gooden
You know you’re getting old when you remember Doc Gooden’s no-hitter with the Yankees on May 14, 1996. It was now 25 years ago — so long ago that the Mets have gone through multiple waves of promising young pitchers who ultimately disappointed: Pulsipher, Wilson, Isringhausen. Harvey, etc....

SEE IT! Gronk sets Guinness record for ‘highest’ catch (No, not that kind of high — although…)
This is arguably the least surprising world record accomplishment ever, when you think about it. ...

Everybody loves to crawl up Trevor Bauer’s ass with him
There’s a memorable scene in Eight Men Out (a great baseball movie, with John Cusack before he became insufferable, and The One True Chicagoan Studs Terkel. Though John Mahoney, also in the film, would have taken that title if Studs weren’t around). Anyway, there’s a scene where Shoeless Joe Jackson...

Remembering Eddie Murphy’s Coming to America and the scene that made ‘In Da Face’ a thing
Frustrated by many erroneous foul calls on his star player Rik Smits, Dave Magarity found himself pacing up and down the sidelines at Madison Square Garden. It was another game, one of many for the Marist head coach. At the time, there was nothing remarkable about it. But what Magarity didn’t know w...

NHL Hurricanes don’t know who sad MAGA Bro is

DeAndre Hopkins 'swerves' through MAGA caravan in Ferrari, middle fingers up
Part of the reason we love sports is watching girls and guys live out dreams that we’re not capable of. And sometimes they do it in more of a baller fashion than we’ve ever conceived. Most of it takes place on the field — a great play with a dash of swag that only comes from the confidence of being ...

The Dallas Cowboys are truly 'America's Team'
I and many others have lamented the exposure the Dallas Cowboys get, despite the team being a complete waste of everyone’s time. ESPN, NBC, FOX — they can’t wait to lustily paste the Star of Texas on their prime windows, and yet all the ‘Boys do is throw up masticated foodstuffs pretty much every ti...

New Yorkers! Tonight’s Varsity Letters reading series, presented by Gelf Magazine, boasts a trio of sports business reporters. Albert Chen of Sports Illustrated, Matthew Futterman of The New York Times, and Ben Reiter of Sports Illustrated will all be reading. You should go! More information is avai...

We Entered Drew's Mom's Recipe In A Chili Cook-Off
Honestly, don’t even watch this video where I definitely won the Texas Exes Chili Cook-off in New York City using the Magary family chili recipe. If you do, you’ll just see that I had a super easy and not sad time gathering the votes it took to annihilate the competition and validate my hubris....

Please, I Ask You All, Murder Me With Butter
Just in time for July 4th, Michelin-starred chef and angry British person Gordon Ramsay made the below YouTube video to show you how to grill a hamburger. Why you would trust this man to make you a proper burger over Ron Swanson, I do not know. Why Ramsay needs a full 10 minutes to show you how he d...

Let's Remember Some Guys: The Proper Use Of Flip-Down Sunglasses
To understand how and why the Guys that have lodged in my mind are where they are, you must remember that this was the 1980s and 1990s, and that I lived in the suburbs, and that I am an idiot. There were things to do there, and various places within a moderate bike’s ride at which to do them; I had ...
