White America still doesn’t get why athletes stand up for Black people
Even after Colin Kaepernick, Donald Trump, Ahmaud Arbery, George Floyd, national protests, Jacob Blake, and the storming of the Capitol by homegrown American terrorists, a new poll has discovered that America — “the land of the free and home of the brave” — still isn’t fond of athletes taking a stan...
Porter Moser is Loyola's key to success, not Sister Jean
Florida. Miami. Tennessee. Nevada. Kansas State. Georgia Tech. And now, No. 1 seed Illinois. Those are the programs that the Loyola Ramblers have knocked off since 2017, during the regular season, or in the NCAA Tournament....
Urban Meyer might have a point about NFL free agency sucking (really)
Urban Meyer’s derision for the NFL’s free agency process seems like easy fodder, but there’s a lot of truth to his complaint about signing players without meeting them. It’s not good for the players, either, because they wind up making a critical decision about their career without having a full pic...
Deshaun Watson now facing 12 plaintiffs, and possibly 10 more, on sex assault charges

Only people worse than Indianapolis Colts are sports writers who take part in sham press conference
Shame on the Indianapolis Colts. Shame on the NFL. And most of all, shame on the sports writers willing to go along with a bogus press conference....
Don't give DeShaun Watson the benefit of the doubt just because you want him to play QB for your team
At the time of writing, there are now three lawsuits against Deshaun Watson from women who say they were assaulted by the (currently) Houston quarterback. All of them have been met, mostly, with claims of tenuous connections between the lawyer representing the women, Tony Buzbee, and some billboards...

Can properly kicked, as Andy Dalton will not fix a single problem for the Bears
The Chicago Bears are officially the Bad News Bears of the NFL. Their free-agent signing of quarterback Andy Dalton was hardly a solution to this franchise’s ongoing QB dilemma....
Signing Andy Goddamn Dalton is the most Bears move ever
Fuck my entire life....
Bill Belichick is your drunk friend at the NFL fantasy draft, hoarding the tight ends
Remember that article I wrote yesterday about Jonnu Smith signing with the Patriots, and how Bill Belichick finally had an athletic tight end to build his offense around again? Well, good ol’ Bill woke up this morning and chose violence, asking himself, “What’s better than one tight end? Two tight e...
Why the hell hasn’t Britt Reid been arrested already?
It’s been over a month since Britt Reid, a former outside linebackers coach with the Kansas City Chiefs and son of head coach Andy Reid, pulled onto southbound I-435 from Stadium Drive, near Arrowhead Stadium. Ahead, two cars were pulled off to the side of the road, one having run out of gas, the ot...

Jonnu Smith is a solid, Gronk-esque addition for the Patriots
The Patriots were lost in the dark in the first year of their post-Brady era. The Cam Newton experiment didn’t work, in part because of his battle with COVID, and the roster proved to have incredibly uninspiring weapons to work with. In atypical fashion, Bill Belichick has stormed into the free agen...
Drew Brees’ legacy is secure, but what is it exactly?
Tampa Bay announced Brees’s retirement before he ever did. While someone with the career of Brees wouldn’t want to go out on his back like he did in the Divisional Round this past January, it was clear that he was past it that afternoon. Brees hadn’t been particularly good, or up to his usual standa...

The Warriors prioritizing Steph Curry’s ‘window’ is what’s wrong with sports today

Sleep on Cam Newton at your own peril — Belichick is no dope, and Pats are far from irrelevant
Small sample sizes are perilous for any kind of analysis, but sometimes, it’s all you have to go on....
Let these athletes tell you all about how much it sucked to have COVID
Remember when you heard that young, healthy people would have an easy time with the coronavirus? Looking back, it’s as ridiculous as comparing COVID to the flu or saying the country would open by Easter. But that’s what some thought around this time last year....
Let's predict where this batch of high-profile quarterbacks will end up next year
We are in the throes of NFL speculation season. So much so that, as I’m writing, I feel as though it’s entirely possible I will have to scrap this entire article because Russell Wilson may have been traded to the Bears. Seriously – Chicago Bears Reddit is literally tracking a private jet flight from...
