A week of simple joys continues
We’ve all gotten to breathe a bit this past weekend. It doesn’t mean the weight of the world isn’t still turning all of our postures into a question mark, but for a brief moment, it did feel like we were getting more oxygen into our lungs and standing up straight without shooting pain. It’ll be impo...
Many disgraceful moments
With no March Madness this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, there was no “One Shining Moment,” the annual montage of NCAA Tournament highlights on CBS....
Why the hell are the Gold Gloves being announced tonight?
The Gold Glove awards this year are entirely based on a statistical formula, much to the chagrin of Cardinals catcher Yadier Molina, who felt that voters would have judged him on his reputation and given him a 10th victory, even though he didn’t rate out among the top three defensive catchers in his...
Lamar Jackson still can't pass big test, while Steelers are incapable of failing even one
While much of the nation was stuck watching Colts-Lions (and got to see Nyheim Hines’ roundoff backflip with a full twist, twice!) the marquee matchup of the day yesterday was between the Steelers and the Ravens....
Baseball’s winter of cost-savings discontent begins as cheapskate Cards cut Wong
It used to be the hot stove, and fans used to get excited about it right after the last out of the World Series. A ray of hope, provided by the wishful thinking that it could be your team ending the season on a podium with Rob Manfred as he gets booed next year. But in a preview of what’s to come ar...
Daryl Morey got a new job, but he still hasn’t addressed his Hong Kong tweet
Daryl Morey is Teflon....
The Big Ten should have never reversed course, that much is clear
The Big Ten had done the right thing. They looked at a sports landscape ravaged by the virus, and decided to shelve the football season. ...
Wilson spouting off on humanity of Antonio Brown is insulting and, yes, even DangerRuss
Further illustrating how the NFL has outlined our utter failure, if not caused it, was professional and self-appointed morality-sensor Russell Wilson clamoring for the Seahawks to sign Antonio Brown. I can’t really add any more to this than DeArbea already did, but Wilson needing to chime in is tr...
Here are the NBA ballers who made the most money this year
It’s no secret that the players in the NBA rack up bands during their careers. So, we decided to take a look at which players in the league have been stacking the most cash this year. Here are the top ten, as calculated by players’ 2019-20 salaries and endorsement pay....

In the 15 days since the Titans played the Vikings, nine have involved a member of the Tennessee organization testing positive for COVID-19. ...
Billy Beane changed baseball, but he could never conquer the game
While the movie “Moneyball” has become canon for the analytics movement in baseball — or more accurately those looking to trace its spread to basically every other sport — those who have read the book know that Billy Beane didn’t invent them with some intern he ransomed out of Cleveland (and every C...
Joe Morgan, championed by the analytics he hated, passes away at 77
Most old-time baseball men hate sabermetrics for fear of their own legacy. They’ll never admit that, but it’s what’s at the heart of it. That pretty much spreads to every industry, where the way we used to do it is obviously better than the way we do it now (and sometimes that’s true). That somehow ...
Tony Romo's commentary is mediocre as hell
While we already covered Dak Prescott’s grotesque injury, a word on Tony Romo. It strains his credibility when he’s telling the nation that we can only hope it’s a cramp as we’re looking at Prescott holding his ankle that only has a tangential relationship to the rest of his leg. And only heightens ...

Landon Donovan's USL team forfeits second straight match due to racial and homophobic slurs
Last night, the USL’s San Diego Loyal walked off the field and forfeited their match against the Phoenix Rising when one of their players, Collin Martin, who is openly gay, had a homophobic slur directed at him on the pitch by another player. At first, the referee had red-carded Martin for his react...
Wisconsin GOP tries to grill Racing Sausages, but they’re gonna get burned
The Wisconsin Republican Party is very good at manipulating the rules of democracy. They’ve gerrymandered the hell out of the state to the point that despite Democrats earning a majority of the votes in the 2018 legislative elections, Republicans won 63 of the 99 seats....
Lamar Jackson is not on Patrick Mahomes' level, because nobody is
Lamar Jackson and the Ravens just aren’t good enough....
