But no, it’s a conspiracy. It’s the wool pulled over your eyes to blind you to the truth. That’s all it can be. ...
Benching Tua Sunday was just plain asinine
I’m of the firm belief that when you give a rookie quarterback the starting job, you don’t call take-backsies four weeks later. What Brian Flores did to Tua Tagovailoa in yesterday’s game was atrocious, and was a terrible display of a lack of confidence in the young signal caller....

The Taysom Hill-Jameis Winston situation has a racial component to it, just not the one you think

Deadspin Fixes the Royals: Helping Kansas City help itself

Sunday Night Football: Naked in the rain
The optics of this NFL season have already been weird and an indictment of the decision to have a season at all. Whether it’s empty stands or, even worse, quarter-filled ones, something has been off about watching football all season. It’s a constant reminder just of where everything is, and how it ...
