Tommy DeVito may not be able to fold a fitted sheet, but he sure can throw a football
North Jersey stand up! Your new favorite son is coming home from Washington with a victory — the New York Giants’ first in nearly a month. Tommy DeVito will arrive home in Cedar Grove, N.J. a hero, and be greeted with a freshly made bed curiosity of Mama DeVito....
Yes Charissa, sideline reporters are journalists
Last week, Charissa Thompson opened her yap on the podcast Pardon My Take and, for reasons still largely not understood by the rest of us, thought it was super-cute to admit that she has, in the past, made up sideline reports. How adorable!...
USC and UCLA prove why home and away jerseys are a thing of the past
USC and UCLA haven’t been relevant, in terms of a national championship status, in years. I can’t even remember when, but mostly because my brain turned to muck long ago. They tell me that USC has a prime QB prospect in Caleb Williams, and yet every time he shows up in a big game he appears to do no...
This week in the NHL November 18, 2023
Every NHL season is partially soundtracked by a surprising amount of static and bellowing from British Columbia. Perhaps no team in the four major sports has more outsized and disproportionate noise surrounding it from its media and fans than the Vancouver Canucks. Leafs Nations may make more noise ...
Deion Sanders’ first season at CU crescendos with a 56-14 loss to Wazzu
Deion Sanders’ first season in Boulder is officially a losing one. Washington State blasted Colorado on Friday night, 56-14, with quarterback Shedeur Sanders leaving the game in the first half following several substantial hits. Backup Ryan Staub was miserable in relief while Cam Ward and Cougar fan...
This week in the NFL November 18, 2023
The relationship between Stefon Diggs and the Buffalo Bills has reportedly been shaky for some time. Monday Night’s performance at home against the Denver Broncos did little to make Diggs want to stick around past this season. Diggs’ brother Trevon (Dallas Cowboys cornerback) couldn’t contain his fr...
So 2 AFC North teams clubbed each other into oblivion after a short week? Shocker
The NFL is eventually going to win. People can push back on the product, and complain about Thursday Night Football and overseas football all they want, but in due time changes become normalized, and even the most inept schedule makers hit on a matchup. Enter the Cincinnati Bengals and Baltimore Rav...
The NFL has become too big to fail
Kneeling and racism couldn’t do it. Misogyny and homophobia never stood a chance. Presidential jabs fell short. The NFL is unbreakable. ...
Anyone who thinks Buffalo is trading Josh Allen must be bonkers
Former NFL wide receiver and FS1 Speak analyst James Jones had a lot to say during a recent segment about the Buffalo Bills’ championship window and the franchise’s future. We’ve heard rumors for some time concerning Stefon Diggs being unhappy, and after Monday night’s loss and brother Trevon’s live...
Dak Prescott is playing quarterback better than anyone in the NFL
The low points have been beneath the asphalt for the Dallas Cowboys this season. That loss on national television to the San Francisco 49ers was ugly, and it was Dak Prescott at his worst. Three interceptions never looks good on a stat sheet, but the Cowboys were already down, 28-10, midway through ...
MLB owners approve team that they will soon hate
It has been said by many more talented and knowledgeable people than me that the biggest problem with MLB owners is all they see is the next dollar, not the five farther down the line they could have, much less the next win. Oh sure, there are exceptions. Philadelphia’s John Middleton seems to get i...
Jerry Reinsdorf has McConnell’d half of Chicago
I and many other Chicagoans used to sit in our simple Midwestern homes, huddled by the coal stove or whatever people picture us doing in the winter (it’s not that far off, it’s just huddled at the bar), and have a good chuckle at how New Yorkers were sentenced to a life with James Dolan. Here was a ...
If only the Cleveland Browns had someone like Josh Dobbs as their backup QB...
Not even a full 72 hours after the Cleveland Browns’ biggest win of the 2023 season, expectations that were on the rise have crashed right onto Brownie the Elf’s face at midfield of their home stadium. ...
Deshaun Watson continues to be dogged by bad karma
DING-DONG! Deshaun Watson’s season is dead. One of the many elephants of the NFL season no longer has to be tip-toed around as the Cleveland Browns announced their problematic quarterback is done for the rest of the year. An MRI revealed Watson needs season-ending surgery, so it’s back to a life of ...
Note to the next Bills' offensive coordinator: Don’t ask Josh Allen to do everything
The Buffalo Bills’ championship window feels like it’s closing for no other reason than Josh Allen’s regression. The team’s inexcusable loss to the Denver Broncos on Monday night would lead you to believe that Ken Dorsey was the hangnail that ailed Allen and not the QB’s knack for turnovers. That th...
It might sound crazy, but Kyler Murray could be playing for his future in Arizona
Kyler Murray finally returned for the Arizona Cardinals, making his season debut Sunday in a win over the Atlanta Falcons. The former No. 1 overall pick hadn’t set foot on an NFL field in nearly a year after tearing his ACL last season. While Murray played well in his return, it’s hard to ignore rum...
Jacksonville isn't quite ready to join the NFL's elite
Week 10 represented a tremendous opportunity for the Jacksonville Jaguars to show the NFL they were ready to be inserted into conversations with the big dogs in the league. Instead, they got steamrolled at home by the San Francisco 49ers, 34-3. This was an embarrassing loss, but it also had signific...
Ryan Tannehill’s 'support' for young Titans quarterbacks depends on if they’re white
In 2022, Ryan Tannehill wanted nothing to do with the new guy in town, Malik Willis — he’s Black. In 2023, Tannehill went out of his way to make sure people know that he supports the newer guy in town, Will Levis — he’s white....
Week 10 NFL Takeaways: The wide receivers put on a show
If you thought the scores in your fantasy league — especially if it’s PPR — were unusually high this week, it’s not just you. The pass catchers of the NFL had themselves quite the Sunday in Week 10. All throughout the day, footballs were snatched out of the air from all angles, and for a great deal ...
It’s true: The Cleveland Browns are a force
Playing against the Cleveland Browns without OT Morgan Moses on Sunday was not an ideal scenario for the Baltimore Ravens. The Ravens would go on to lose their other bookend offensive tackle — Ronnie Stanley — in the fourth quarter and top cornerback Marlon Humphrey in the third. While this is far f...
