Parade Pat returns, Travis Kelce shoots Fireball, and more from the Kansas City parade
The only time the internet gets joy over someone else’s happiness is when they’re drunk and making a fool of themselves. That’s why we loved parade Klay Thompson in June, and adored Patrick Mahomes from a few years back. Even Tom Brady throwing the Lombardi between boats was entertaining, and there ...
Patrick Beverly is doing what he does best — running his mouth
Patrick Beverly is at it again, doing what he does best on and off the court, and that’s running his mouth. On the latest episode of The Pat Bev Podcast, Beverley talked about what happened in Los Angeles regarding why they didn’t win....
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson franchised - so what now?
Today the Baltimore Ravens notified the NFL Players Association that they’ve placed a non-exclusive franchise tag on Lamar Jackson, after months of the two teams being at an impasse over a new deal for their star QB....
The red-zone tactic that won the Chiefs the Super Bowl
Down 10 at halftime, the Kansas City Chiefs did what they do best, mount a comeback to earn their second Super Bowl title in four years. It was a masterful second-half performance from Chiefs’ offensive coordinator Eric Bieniemy, who outmaneuvered Eagles’ defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon — who ...
How does free agency end for Derek Carr?
There are many suitors clearing space to try to jump Aaron Rodgers’ bones when he emerges from his hole, enlightened and ready to monopolize headlines. The Las Vegas Raiders are one such team rumored to be in the mix, and they just cut ties with QB Derek Carr....
Give me 'Roundball Rock' or give me death
Professional sports leagues are the big winners of the streaming wars because live sports seem to be the only thing that still moves the ratings needle. As long as the production value remains intact, the “boom-goes-the-dynamite” guy isn’t announcing, and the stream actually streams, I could care le...
Jim Caldwell having to work under Frank Reich is a slap in the face
The Carolina Panthers — who are owned by a man who claims to be trying to end the “old boys network” within the NFL despite hiring a white head coach over a qualified Black one — have a new coaching staff that’s led by the trio of Frank Reich, Dom Capers, and Jim Caldwell. The hierarchy in Carolina ...
Shane Steichen is the latest white coordinator to get hired before Eric Bienemy
Alright, this is beyond ridiculous. How many brilliant offensive minds will be hired as head coaches before Eric Bieniemy? The Kansas City Chiefs offensive guru helped orchestrate the team’s second Super Bowl in four years, both of which featured double-digit comebacks. Yet, the Indianapolis Colts o...
Chad Henne’s retirement should be bigger news — the Chiefs now need a reliable backup
He’s a Michigan legend and was clutch whenever the Chiefs needed him. On Sunday night, after the conclusion of Super Bowl LVII, Kansas City backup quarterback Chad Henne called it a career, announcing that he was hanging up his cleats after collecting his second ring. It’s understandable why retirem...
Per usual, Donald Trump is a pathetic, bloated old man with a shitty take
It’s become the norm for former President Donald Trump to post nonsensical thoughts on whatever social media platforms still allow insurrectionists. And his thoughts on Rihanna’s halftime performance at Super Bowl LVII were no different. I bet you can guess what he thought about a woman of color bei...

Did you take a puff of your inhaler? A shot of dark liquor?...
The Chiefs’ offensive line put on a better performance than Rihanna
Another Super Bowl is in the books, and the Kansas City Chiefs are champions of the NFL once again. Patrick Mahomes wins his second ring, second Super Bowl MVP, on top of being named league MVP for the second a few days before the big game. Mahomes played a great game, especially in the second half,...
New York Giant sleeper cell does its job, prevents the Eagles from another title
Sunday night could’ve been really shitty for New York Giants fans. The Philadelphia Eagles were on the precipice of a second Super Bowl win in six years, lighting the Empire State Building green (again), and it’s enough to make you abstain from cheesesteaks for at least a few months. Yet, when it ma...
Travis Kelce was Chiefs' top pass catcher, but without JuJu Smith-Schuster they don’t win the Super Bowl
Juju Smith-Schuster did not enter the NFL with the goal of being a role player. His sophomore season at Southern California, he hauled in 89 passes for 1,454 yards and 10 touchdowns on a disappointing 8-6 team. The next season, the Trojans went 10-3 and won the Rose Bowl. His yards and receptions to...
First Black QBs to face off in the big game gave us one of the best Super Bowls ever
Jalen Hurts had to overcome a fumble that gave his opponents a touchdown. Patrick Mahomes had to deal with a bum ankle that he reinjured. They put on record-setting performances in football’s biggest game. And neither of them were white. If this is the outcome of having two Black quarterbacks face e...
Super Bowl LVII refs put on a show nobody asked for
Don’t ask me how many yards or touchdowns Jalen Hurts ran for or how many yards Patrick Mahomes threw for. The officiating crew for Super Bowl LVII put on one of the all-time great “I’m Him” collective performances in league history on Sunday night. Their profound impact on the game was felt for all...
The NFL will not leave Pat Tillman alone
The NFL being an official advertising wing of the US military is nothing new. From the war terms applied to the game itself by analysts and commentators, to the official camo swag, to Gronk advertising insurance only for military members and their families, the two have been arm in arm for decades. ...
