USWNT captain Lindsey Horan said the quiet part out loud

It started to percolate during the latest Summer Olympics, delayed a year to 2021 because of the pandemic.

Skip Bayless’ reign may finally be coming to an end

Skip Bayless is viewed as the godfather of this “embrace debate” culture that has consumed sports media over the past 15 years. The FS1 Undisputed host has been around to lend his disconcerting commentary style to some of the most significant events in sports for the better part of five decades. How...

Count Tua Tagovailoa among the Sound of Freedom’s ‘forgotten viewers’

The movie rage hitting the theaters this summer extends beyond Barbie, and Oppenheimer.

The Sound of Freedom — an action thriller about a child trafficking ring starring Ji...

The voice of Buffalo Rick Jeanneret dies at 81

It’s mostly baseball announcers who become synonymous with a team and a city. They’re on the radio or TV every day for six months, so they can become more a part of a fan’s life than a good portion of the family. Whether that will happen again, with so many broadcasters now so polished, clean, rehea...

Fred Toucher interrupts Jets talk to call Mike Greenberg a 'no-talent pr*ck'

Mike Greenberg has been a staple of ESPN for nearly three decades. He’s famously known as one half of the Mike & Mike morning radio show, which aired on ESPN networks from 2000-17.

There’s anxiety, and then there’s paranoia. If you’re afraid of flying, crowds, or clowns, that’s understandable.

Boy, noise sure does follow CM Punk

In a sense, CM Punk can’t help it. Given every twist and turn and crash and surge his career has had, eyes are going to be on him wherever he is, even when that’s off camera. And if you believe there are those who still have knives out for him within AEW, well it’s not much of a surprise he’s being ...

A non-USWNT World Cup Final is still good for the game

As tough as it is not to have the U.S. Women’s National Team in the FIFA Women’s World Cup final after winning the last two tournaments, the Spain-England final on Sunday is arguably better for the overall health of the game worldwide....

Women’s World Cup Day 23: It’s (probably) coming home to England

Sam Kerr got her first start of the World Cup. Possibly the best striker on Earth still wasn’t fully fit, but the Chelsea starlet at 80 percent is better than most in prime form.
