Oklahoma State head coach Mike Gundy, a man who knows exactly when to turn the volume up on his wacky good ol’ boy persona in order to keep people from realizing he might be losing his touch, is doing just that.
An audio recording began making its way around the internet yesterday, which purported to be a conversation between Mike Woodbury, who runs a private school called Nation Christian Academy in Florida, and a former basketball player at the school named Marvens Petion.
The Arizona Cardinals, a team brewed in the depths of a toilet, possess a great gift. They have David Johnson, which means they have something that many NFL teams do not have: a running back who can stay on the field for all three downs and is just as dangerous as a receiver as he is a runner. Someone should tell the…
Knicks owner James Dolan was a longtime friend of disgraced sex pervert Harvey Weinstein, and now he wants to let everyone know that he, James Dolan, is sorry that he never stopped Weinstein from sexually assaulting countless women. Because he is James Dolan, he has expressed this regret through a painfully dopey song.
Buccaneers quarterback Jameis Winston will miss the first three games of the upcoming season after being suspended for groping an Uber driver. As part of the terms of the suspension, Winston apologized to the driver for “the position he put her in.” All this came after Winston initially denied the driver’s accusations…
Cleveland Browns draft pick Baker Mayfield, who will have some kind of documentary series air on Fox next month, has frequently been criticized by rat boy Colin Cowherd. That part in between the commas is presumably why Mayfield appeared today on The Herd, where he handed Cowherd’s ass to him when the host tried to…
Donald Trump held one of his insane rallies in Duluth, Minn., on Wednesday night, and he was joined by thousands of angry ghouls who got to enjoy an evening getting intoxicated on white grievance. Among those in the crowd was ... Celtics legend Kevin McHale!
If you are subscriber to The Athletic, I have some bad news for you:
If you’ve ever spent time around people blessed with a particular combination of self-absorbtion and privilege, this story, from Indy Week, about a Duke administrator getting two campus baristas fired for daring to listen to rap music while on the job won’t really shock you. It will make you mad as hell, though.
Texans owner Bob McNair had a tense standoff with his players last season after he remarked, “We can’t have the inmates running the prison,” during an October owner-player meeting about the national anthem demonstrations. Star receiver DeAndre Hopkins skipped practice in protest; a number of Texans wanted to walk out; …
It was announced yesterday that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell had agreed to a five-year contract extension with the owners. None of the contract details were shared, but ESPN’s Adam Schefter is reporting what everyone probably already assumed: Roger Goodell will make so much goddamn money.
Mike Pence tried to be a big strong boy yesterday, walking out of the 49ers-Colts game because a handful of 49ers players knelt during the national anthem, as they have been doing all season. Almost immediately, it was revealed that Pence had planned the stunt well in advance, and thus had taken a plane from Las Vegas…
Trophy-humping Warriors owner Joe Lacob has previously tried to take credit for his team’s success in hilariously tone-deaf ways. There was the time he bragged to The New York Times Magazine about how the Warriors’ 73-win season was as much the result of his venture capitalist approach to basketball as it was Steph…
The NFL is nearing an agreement on a five-year extension to keep Roger Goodell as commissioner, a move that would extend Goodell’s tenure through 2024, per Sports Business Journal’s Dan Kaplan. This should come as no surprise.
Jets linebacker Jordan Jenkins didn’t hide his feelings about what went down over the weekend in Charlottesville, Va., from the creeping normalization of the KKK and its sympathizers to the neo-Nazi murder of a counter-protestor to the president’s refusal to call what happened for what it is.
Roger Goodell’s tenure as commissioner of the NFL has been marked by his eagerness to remind everyone he’s in charge when it comes to player discipline. From Bountygate to Ray Rice to Adrian Peterson to Ballghazi, Goodell has been there to announce to the rest of the world that he’s got this.
The LaVar Ball circus continued yesterday, this time with some not-so-thinly-veiled misogyny taking a spot in the center ring.
Cavs owner Dan Gilbert and freshly hired GM Koby Altman held a press conference yesterday, the purpose of which was to assure everyone that, actually, the Cavs’ disastrous summer has been good. It was mostly boring, except for one part when Gilbert couldn’t help but throw some shit at the Pacers.
The Colin Kaepernick situation really isn’t that complicated. Either you believe he is better than a number of current NFL backup quarterbacks and therefore deserves a job, or you don’t. Either you believe that his outspoken political beliefs have earned him a league-wide blackballing, or you believe he’s not even…
