Aaron Boone wants to yell at real people, not robots
Aaron Boone has a knack for early showers. You can blame it on a short temper or having the pinky-up attitude of being the Yankees’ manager. Whatever the case, no one has spent less time helming his team from the dugout in Major League Baseball than Boone this season, or since the start of the 2018 ...
MLB scheduling change making it easier for American League East to assert its dominance
Six months or so after the NFC East was the best division in football, the American League East has overtaken MLB.

The WNBA needs more roster spots — and expansion is the only way to get them
In an era dominated by social media, women’s basketball is experiencing a moment like never before. Brittney Griner is back. The WNBA has countless storylines.

Roberto Firmino will play his last game for Liverpool as my heart aches
The shelf life for soccer players might just be the shortest around. Baseball would like to get there, but in the world of football it still basically works that once you hit 30, they start counting down the clock on you. So on one hand, it seems Roberto Firmino has been playing for Liverpool foreve...
Life after greatness: What happens when a sport loses its GOAT?
There’s no denying that GOATs are great for a sport when they’re still active. Michael Jordan, Tony Hawk, and other best-to-ever-do-its pushed their sports to popularity not seen since, but led to fans coming down off a trip so perfect that they were left fiending for the next fix of greatness perso...
How many wins do the Angels need at the deadline to keep Shohei Ohtani?

Justin Jefferson among the 25 best NFL players under 25 years old
The NFL is stocked with young talent. The number of players who are still relatively fresh in the league, but who are also among the best players in their position is growing, and it’s only fair to take stock of those players by ranking the top 25 players under the age of 25. Only players who are un...
Does Boston actually have a chance to get back in this thing?
A 16-seed beating a 1-seed in the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament was considered impossible until 2018. It happened again in the 2023 tourney. The Boston Red Sox were a franchise for 103 years before they became the first MLB team to come back from a 3-0 deficit. Currently, NBA teams are 0-150 in p...
Washington bungled its last name change, may have to pick another moniker AGAIN
Josh Harris hasn’t officially taken the mantle of the now-Washington Commanders yet, and his first mess from the poop trail of Dan Snyder is underway. The Commanders might have to change their name again, as the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office denied their application for the term “Commanders” on T...
Dwight Howard turns troll and targets LeBron James
Apparently, former NBA star Dwight Howard has decided to troll his way back into the association, and now he’s going at the biggest dog in the yard. While he’s no longer the player he once was, LeBron James is still a major figure with tons of pull around the league. It might not be the wisest move ...

In the end, there’s just too much money to be made and too many things for AEW to accomplish without the bounce that CM Punk provides....
Talk about the Denver Nuggets, you cowards!
The Denver Nuggets are in the NBA Finals for the first time in franchise history, and I’m sincere when I say that’s not a backhanded compliment. Yet it seems as if I’m one of only a few media members who actually wants to talk about the team that won the Western Conference Finals. The league and its...
Kyrie Irving continues his ongoing quest to make everyone dislike him
Kyrie Irving is back at it again, chastising fans and media for talking about his free agency status and demanding everyone stop. Irving doesn’t want fans to @ him on social media platforms anymore and says he sees it all, and it’s time to stop. This message directly from Kyrie was disseminated via ...
Aaron Rodgers is a Swiftie
Aaron Rodgers won’t just be playing home football games at MetLife Stadium —he’ll also be in attendance for Taylor Swift’s Memorial Day Weekend show at the East Rutherford, N.J. venue....
It says a lot about the state of golf that Michael Block won the weekend
Michael Block was a godsend for the PGA Tour over the weekend, as the league’s championship was hijacked by Brooks Koepka, and it desperately needed a storyline to distract people from a LIV player winning a major for the time since any of the big names defected. It was only a matter of majors befor...
The Florida Panthers changing their narrative is the story of the NHL playoffs
The Florida Panthers were written off. Down three games to a lowly one to the Boston Bruins, the most dominant regular-season team of all time, needing two wins in their barn to even get out of the first round. Since that 6-2 loss at home to the B’s, the Panthers are 11-1. Three straight over the Br...
