TNF, Week 6: I like Philadelphia, but this is going to be a blowout
We’re five weeks into the NFL season, and frankly, Philadelphia is being seriously disrespected. Just take a look at any publication’s power rankings....
This is what it can be
It is hard to remember in the moment, especially when that is the first moment of a qualifier like last night against Costa Rica and the USMNT is giving up yet another stupid goal before coming back for a 2-1 win and you haven’t even cracked that beer that you’re firing against the wall, that this w...
Dan Snyder deciding to honor Sean Taylor NOW is a disgrace
The New York Giants announced in September that they will retire Michael Strahan’s number on November 28. Earlier this month, when Pau Gasol retired, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss immediately said that his No. 16 would go to the rafters. The Oakland A’s have been planning Dave Stewart’s jersey retirement...
Dominique Wilkins is owed an apology and the only asterisk I’ll accept in sports
Dominique Wilkins is owed apologies from a lot of you people. ...
Okay, who thought a MNF Wild Card Game was a good idea?
Monday Night Football is great… for the fans. We always appreciate an extra night of NFL football. For the teams involved though, it’s not very appealing. Sure, it gives those teams an extra day to prepare for their opponent, but it also gives them one fewer day to prepare for their opponent the fol...
No, Tyson Fury is not the GOAT
Following the epic Fury-Wilder 3 fight Saturday night, a reporter caught up with boxing legend and promoter Oscar De La Hoya. A question was presented to De La Hoya concerning whether Fury is the greatest fighter the heavyweight division has ever seen....

Don’t be mad at Adam Schefter, he’s not really a journalist anymore [Updated]
What a week. If you want to know how the sports sausage is made, a few notable emails made available through leaks and lawsuits have been particularly illuminating. One, where ESPN Insider Adam Schefter sends a story to former Washington team president Bruce Allen before publication for approval, is...
Shams Charania is giving cover to Kyrie Irving’s nonsense
Kyrie Irving has been a perplexing character for the majority of his NBA career. ...
I’ve had it with relievers
Maybe I’ve rebelled against getting older as long as I can, and I’m coming to accept the hair growing out of my ears combined with the opinions that something in a modern sport isn’t as good as I remember. It’s weird, because I don’t remember having any attachment to relief pitchers of my youth. The...
Brett Favre knew he was in shady territory with $1.1M Mississippi boondoggle, letter alleges
Brett Favre’s most famous work on the football field came when the clock was running down, so maybe that’s the motivation the Hall of Fame quarterback needs to repay the state of Mississippi the money he promised to repay after Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds were funneled to him for a...
Bucs remove Gruden from Ring of Honor, yet leave Antonio Brown in Ring of Huddle
If you’re looking for hypocrites of the week, may I present the Tampa Bay Buccaneers....
Jon Gruden’s emails were really bad — but I want to see what the ones about Colin Kaepernick said
The chickens are coming home to roost. But the loudest clucks haven’t been heard yet....
Let's not give Trevon Diggs the DPOY just yet
Trevon Diggs has been an absolute monster this season for the Dallas Cowboys. He’s limited some of the best receivers in the game to under 50 yards and hasn’t allowed a single receiver to record more than five receptions. He’s allowed only 465 yards with six interceptions through 16 games. Now, you’...
Wait… why isn’t Kyle Shanahan on the hot seat?
In four-plus years as the head coach in San Francisco, Kyle Shanahan has gone 31-38. He’s finished either third or last-place in his division in three of his four full seasons, and despite his teams consistently finishing in the top half of the league in terms of total offense and defense, they are ...
Davis Mills jumps Trey Lance and Zach Wilson in Rookie QB rankings
The 2021 draft class will be a focal point of the NFL for years to come. It yielded five quarterbacks who have a chance to make a significant impact on their franchises this season and beyond. ...
2021 NHL Previews: Flyers haven’t made a good move since acquiring Gritty
The Metro Division is jam-packed with teams who could disappoint. Sid and Geno are back for their 16th season in Pittsburgh, and the bottom has to fall out eventually. Similarly, Alex Ovechkin is 36 and coming off a career-worst 24-goal season. Carolina was one of the darlings of hockey last year, b...
Stop venerating men who care about nothing but football
Back in 2016, Bleacher Report wrote this in a profile of former Raiders head coach Jon Gruden:...
Patrick Mahomes is just not the greatest anymore
The biggest myth in the NFL is that Patrick Mahomes is the best quarterback in the league....
Dinosaur organization has dinosaur coach, film at 11
There isn’t much to add to the whole Jon Gruden dumbassery that my colleagues Carron Phillips didn’t address yesterday or Criss Partee the day before. Gruden never deserved his position, certainly didn’t do much to earn it while he was there, and then was found out as a world-class asshole who also ...
Hear me out: The Warriors are ready to contend again out West
Call me crazy, but the Golden State Warriors will be a force in the Western Conference this season. Yes, you heard me correctly. Golden State will be a thorn in the side of every team in the West this year, because everyone is sleeping on them, apparently....
