NYC should appreciate and take notice of what’s happening in Brooklyn
To: New York NBA fans ...
X marks the discontent
There’s little question that Xavien Howard is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. He had 10 — TEN — interceptions last season. He’s a corner any team would be lucky to have. Fortunately for Dolphins fans, he’s theirs, in theory, until after the 2024 season. He is, however, not real happy....
Deadspin presents: Madden old GOAT/young GOAT combos
On Monday, the NFL posted a video teasing a forthcoming announcement in regards to their Madden 22 cover. The social media post suggests that the announcement will be shared at 10 a.m. Thursday. ...
1-2-3, All Lives Matter! — Drew Brees joins Mike Tirico to call football games
After Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and George Floyd had all been murdered, and before Jacob Blake got shot in the back seven times, the NFL began its 2020 season on a Thursday night in Kansas City, where the limited number of fans in the stands decided to boo a moment of unity....
Stop it! Cam is best option for Patriots this season
Apparently nobody has any idea what’s going on with the quarterback position in New England, as different reporters at the same practices are saying different things. The Patriots took Michael McCorkle Jones with the No. 15 overall pick in April’s NFL Draft, and still have incumbent Cam Newton under...
A 'NATIONAL' DISASTER: How wild, reckless spending sent this country's first and last sports daily to an early grave — from someone who was there

30 years after WLAF’s first World Bowl, American football returns to Europe
American football is set to make its triumphant return to Europe in the European League of Football. That’s right — the ELF. Thirty years after the inaugural season of the NFL-owned World League of American Football, which hasn’t been operational since 2007, ELF will launch June 19 with eight teams,...
Stop the Bubble slander
The Denver Nuggets are down 3-0, meaning no team who reached the NBA’s Final Four in The Bubble has won a game past Round 1, and one of them didn’t even do that. But these four teams — the Nuggets, Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and Boston Celtics — shouldn’t be diminished for accomplishing what th...
With Julio Jones shipped to Titans, a look back at the memorable receiver deals and who won them
Julio Jones isn’t the first big name wide receiver to be traded. In fact, of the top skill positions on the offensive side of the ball, I feel like marquee receivers get moved more than any other position. Whether it’s due to contract disputes, diva personalities, or clashes with coaches, it’s alway...
Bruce Arians: 'If you want to go back to normal, get vaccinated'
Though the NFL is somewhat divided, Bruce Arians has a very simple idea as to how he could see things returning to normal....
Navy won’t let a Black football player go to the NFL and everyone is to blame
Here’s a story that’s as American as apple pie, baseball, and voter suppression. It involves naivety, racism, politics, football, the military, and faux patriotism. It checks all the boxes....
Ravens will take to the air
I’m going to keep talking about it until people start understanding what’s happening, because the clues just keep on coming: The Baltimore Ravens and Lamar Jackson are going to throw the football a lot more this year. ...
All the Ryan Tannehill slander is getting tired
Adam Gase had a winning record with Ryan Tannehill as his starting quarterback in Miami. Let that sink in for a second. ...
Things aren’t looking so hot in Green Bay
Have you ever seen “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly?” No, seriously. The 1966 Western starring Clint Eastwood is a classic, featuring horses and gunfights and bravado and all that toxic Hollywood macho “this is what a man is” stuff. The movie reaches a boiling point in a three-way standoff between E...
Ryan Fitzpatrick has been doing this football thing for a minute
With the 250th pick in the seventh round of the 2005 NFL draft, the St. Louis Rams (’memba them?) selected a quarterback out of Harvard — not exactly a football powerhouse. His name was Ryan Fitzpatrick, and of the 13 quarterbacks taken before him, only one (Aaron Rodgers) still plays in the league....
Jay-Z & Meek Mill chipped in on a Bentley for Robert Kraft's birthday
At this point, if you still believe that Jay-Z’s partnership with the NFL is a strategic and calculated maneuver that will help Black America, instead of it being the shrewd business move it’s always been, then you’re a dumbass. ...
Do those MVP trophies come with a receipt?
No individual award in American sports generates more debate than the NBA MVP. No one cares about hockey, and half the awards are given to players where the voters don’t really understand why they’re voting for them. Baseball awards are too mired in the debate between how we view the game today and ...
From Chad Johnson to Nate Robinson — boxing is nothing to be played with
As the great urban philosopher Calvin Broadus — otherwise known as Snoop Dogg — once said, “There are two things in life you can’t play with. This Boxing, and this pimpin’.”...
Greg Olsen’s son, T.J., shares ‘thank you’ message with supporters after son’s heart transplant
A few weeks ago, former NFL tight end Greg Olsen outlined a nightmarish scenario for any parent. After eight years of life with a heart condition, Olsen’s son, T.J., had a heart that was “reaching its end.” Olsen added that the next step could be a heart transplant....
