That’s a clown lawsuit, bro
The Jacksonville Jaguars were a joke long before this season. They’ve made the playoffs seven times in their 27-year history, and four of those were in the first five seasons of their existence.

UFC prices are going up, but the same can’t be said for the fighters’ salaries

Hub Arkush gives the game away on what journalism is today
Yesterday, we spent some time talking about a principled stand that AP voter Hub Arkush took on voting for Aaron Rodgers for MVP. You may not agree with the principles, and they were probably on the self-righteous side (it’s been a habit of Hub’s for years), but at least they were his. And you could...
Derrick Henry and his stiff arm are coming back! Break out the ice packs
One more win for the Tennessee Titans. All they need is to win one more game and they can clinch the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC. With an 11-5 record, a low mark for a team in first place but that speaks to a lack of a clear best team in the AFC, a home victory against the 4-12 Houston Texans — wh...

Taylor Heinicke’s time as the starter is likely coming to an end in Washington once the season wraps up
Taylor Heinicke’s fairy tale story might be coming to an end upon the close of this NFL season.

But after an entire season of watching Heinicke under center for Washington, it’s clear that he is...
Changes are coming to the NFL scouting combine that are long overdue
Today is one of those days in which the NFL has made a good decision. It doesn’t happen often. The decision to add an extra game to the schedule in a sport that can cause brain damage, during a world-wide pandemic, might be a short term financial win, but it’s making the product worse and is ethical...

Imagine you’re taking part in an annual contest at your workplace to determine the finalists for a coveted prize. Everybody wants this prize.
