Kirk Cousins is not the problem
The Vikings are a good football team...on paper.

People are still out there wishing death on high schoolers for their college choices
We learned a lot in 2020, most of it sad and depressing. In the moments when we weren’t terrified, mourning, angry, or all of the above, some of us might have turned on sporting events once the UFC got back to broadcasting events and the NBA concluded the 2019-20 season in The Bubble. Sports looked ...

The 2022 NFL season is likely to be one of the worst in a long time for the Seattle Seahawks.

Disastrous season for the Phoenix Mercury ended with Las Vegas dropping a piano on their heads
Mercury has been in retrograde all season long. At least that’s been the theme of the 2022 WNBA season.
