The Colorado Rockies have crushed Kris Bryant's soul
For the most part, fans these days accept that a player signing a generational wealthy contract with a team is more than enough of an end to itself. Few players, out of the very few who make the majors at all, get to take the opportunity of free agency and set themselves up for the rest of their car...
The Portland Timbers just did something almost no other pro team would do
Portland Timbers CEO Heather Davis just gave other pro sports teams a master class in how to handle problematic people tied to the club and, according to her, it wasn’t even a tough decision. ...

Is Dan Orlovsky right about Jerry Jones and the Cowboys <i>wanting</i> to be mediocre?
Former NFL quarterback, Dan Orlovsky, has become one of the better analysts on ESPN programming over the past few years. Despite not having the best NFL career he knows the game and can break it down in a way that’s easily digestible for viewers. Orlovsky sounded off on Jerry Jones and the Dallas Co...
Raheem Morris said the Falcons want a QB that’s the ‘best fit’ for Atlanta — he means Black
Quarterback is the most important position in all of sports. The Falcons are on the hunt for a new one. And not only does their next signal-caller need to be a perfect match for the team, but for the city. Atlanta is Black as hell, which means their next starting quarterback probably will be, too....
Here are increasingly radical solutions to combat the NBA’s overpowered offenses
Scoring in the NBA has ticked up at an exponential rate in the last decade. It doesn’t take Hercule Poirot to figure out what killed NBA defenses. This is a shooter’s league now....
Non-working showers, tiny locker rooms, and having to play for Josh McDaniels: NFLPA releases team report cards
If the NFL Players Association’s annual team report card, which is voted on by the players from each franchise, is any indication, playing for Cincinnati Bengals’ owner Mike Brown is only a few steps divorced from suiting up for fictional Cleveland MLB owner Rachel Phelps — complete with non-working...
I’ll give you even odds that Tyreek Hill turns into Antonio Brown in 3 years
Since Tyreek Hill was traded away from the Kansas City Chiefs, he allegedly smacked a guy at a marina, said he wants to be a pornstar, said he wants to fight Jake Paul, aired out his former organization multiple times, had his mansion burn down due to a child playing with fire, had his attorney acci...
Roger Goodell wants NFL players to have a ‘voice’ in volatile Election Year. Don’t believe him
In football, the line of scrimmage is where the “rubber meets the road.” In politics, it occurs inside the voting booth. Roger Goodell’s recent comments on politics and sports are proof that the league could be on the verge of repeating the same mistakes it did during the Colin Kaepernick era, as th...
What the hell is wrong with Sean Payton?
Earth to Sean Payton: Russell Wilson is still on the Denver Broncos’ roster. There is nothing the Denver coach can say to make that $85 million in dead salary go away. The NFL salary cap for the 2024 season will be $255.4 million. That dead money would account for a third of their cap space, and the...
You probably forgot these NFL players were on these teams
The NFL is pretty good at keeping home-grown stars at home, but even some of the most iconic players end up with teams other than the ones they made their careers with. Even players with two iconic runs have a weird bump in the road every now and then. We all know the Tom Brady stint with the Tampa ...
In defense of bad officiating
I’m not going to list all of the polarizing topics people argue about on the internet because there’s not enough time in the day, and I typically avoid thinking about things that make me want to chug paint thinner. There’s so little human beings can agree on that we need at least one evil force to u...
When NFL teams say they have salary cap problems, don't believe them
It’s that time of year in the NFL when you’ll hear the term ‘salary cap’ about 100 times per day. Former Super Bowl-winning offensive lineman Mark Schlereth recently spilled the beans on the cap being fake and how the league/teams use fear tactics to make fans think it’s more significant than it is ...
Ask not what a free agent running back can do for you, but what you can do for them
Saying there’s no value in running backs was always nonsense, but because bad teams think a ground game is going to make their garbage quarterback and shoddy offensive line redeemable, the stereotype gets furthered. So this offseason when some NFC South team signs Derrick Henry or Josh Jacobs or Saq...
Was Taylor Swift the reason Colin Cowherd's home was broken into?
Fox Sports talking head Colin Cowherd said his Westerly, R.I. house was broken into on Feb. 23, and he theorizes that the alleged perpetrator might have had the wrong address. ...
Juwan Howard and John Beilein finally have something in common — 20-loss seasons at Michigan
One guy did it in his first season in Ann Arbor — before going on to win a pair of regular-season and conference tournament championships, along with appearing in two national title games. The latest guy is doing it in what might be his last season in Ann Arbor — with one regular-season championship...

Caleb Williams, Jayden Daniels and Marvin Harrison Jr. are making the right call by not working out at the NFL Combine
In young people’s latest affront to the spirit of competition, the participation of some top NFL draft prospects in the upcoming scouting combine will be slim to none. Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels will not throw until their respective Pro Days. Marvin Harrison Jr. will not be participating in a...
There's a good chance you didn't hear about Richard Sherman's DUI arrest this weekend
Here’s a bit of advice for professional athletes. If you’re out having fun doing your thing and happen to get into some legal trouble on your way home, make sure it isn’t violent and that it happens just before another star goes viral. This was the case over the weekend for former NFL player and cur...
Trying to fight Cam Newton is just plain dumb
Sitting on the couch (or in the press box) and believing that you can do, or be better at, what professional athletes accomplish every day is outrageous. But thinking you can beat up a man who’s arguably the most physically imposing quarterback the NFL has ever seen isn’t just laughable, it’s proof ...
