Don’t be mad at Adam Schefter, he’s not really a journalist anymore [Updated]
What a week. If you want to know how the sports sausage is made, a few notable emails made available through leaks and lawsuits have been particularly illuminating. One, where ESPN Insider Adam Schefter sends a story to former Washington team president Bruce Allen before publication for approval, is...
No, Kirk Herbstreit, college football doesn’t need a ‘Roger Goodell’
College football has turned into a scene from a playground in which kids are picking teams at recess. The ACC, Big 10, and the PAC-12 are on one side, and standing across from them is the SEC. The Big 12 is the scrawny uncoordinated kid that nobody wants to play with. And off to the side is Kirk Her...

Why isn't Deshaun Watson on NFL Commissioner's Exempt List?
The fact that Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is allowed anywhere near a football field is despicable, yet here we are. Watson reported to the Texans facility yesterday for COVID testing in advance of training camp, while also reiterating his stance that he will not play for the team this ...
Oh, the shockwaves that would ensue from UT and OU moving to the SEC
The college football conference map has been drawn and redrawn, torn down and rebuilt so many times in the past that it was starting to feel routine. The Big 12 specifically has seen a carousel of teams coming and going that nowadays, the conference itself can’t remember how many teams are involved?...
No, Marty Brennaman, ESPN didn’t go far enough with Stephen A. — but the Reds were right to fire your son
In case you forgot, Thom Brennaman had a very bad day on August 19 of last year. On the air while calling a Cincinnati Reds game, he apparently was unaware of a hot mic and was heard using a homophobic slur. Like, a really, really bad one, with a really, really bad tone. It’s unclear what spurred hi...
Would you idiots please stop blighting great soccer matches with your racism?
The Euro Championship did not go England’s way. After two hours of football ended locked in a 1-1 draw, England and Italy squared off in penalty kicks. Italy won after Marcus Rashford hit one off the post, Jadon Sancho’s attempt was stopped, and the final try, taken by 19-year-old Bukayo Saka, was s...

The Harlem Globetrotters want an NBA franchise ‘right now’
The NBA is thinking about expanding. The likely destinations? Seattle and Las Vegas. Both make sense for a myriad of reasons.

Here’s why Deshaun Watson shouldn’t play next year, but the NFL won’t care
To be fair, there are legit reasons that Deshaun Watson can’t play football in 2021. The fact that he’s being accused of being an absolute bridge ghoul, first and foremost. What has been alleged in court documents paints him a predator. That should be enough. But of course it isn’t....
