Derek Carr chose the path most traveled in signing with New Orleans

After months of speculation, Derek Carr has decided on his next NFL home, and it’s not the destination we’d been led to believe it would likely land. No, Carr has not signed with the New York Jets.

NBA Schedule: Make some time to watch the Knicks

Bing-bong, bang-bang, pick whatever onomatopoeia you desire to properly emphasize the 2022-23 New York Knicks, as long as you acknowledge that this team is for real. They have won nine games in a row and are 4.5 games ahead of a play-in tournament appearance....

Deadspin’s 2023 Men's NCAA Tournament Automatic Bid Tracker

The Men’s NCAA Tournament is just over the horizon and as its 32 automatic bids are earned in rapid-fire over the next week, it can be too much to track on your own. That’s what this space is for.

Mark Adams almost went full-Greg McDermott — white coaches get away with saying anything

People who claim to know/read the Bible often do things that prove that they don’t actually know/read the Bible — like Mark Adams.

Mark Adams said WHAT to a player?

The rule when talking about the vile 200-plus year slavery period in American history is simple: If you make a reference to chattel slavery, it had better be about how wretched it was, or your job will be in serious jeopardy. The only exception to that rule, sadly, seems to be elected officials. Te...

Alabama girls' basketball team denied championship after being forced to play in boys' league, then winning it [Updated]

An Alabama youth girls’ basketball team that was told they would lose their practice facility unless they agreed to play in a boys’ league went on to win the whole thing — and yet was denied the championship trophy.

XFL reinstates Quinten Dormady one day after being cut for giving team’s plays away

Through two weeks in the XFL season, the Orlando Guardians are 0-2, in last place in the XFL South.

Ja Morant deactivates Twitter, Instagram accounts after flashing gun on IG Live [Updated]

It’s not that I don’t think Ja Morant can read a room. I think he can, which is why his Instagram Live story where he appears to hold a gun is so maddening.

As expected, Bryce Young measures in at under 6 feet tall at NFL Combine

The question of the combine, draft, decade, football writ large is if smaller quarterbacks can make it in the NFL.

Talk about speeding up the game

The traditions involved with going to a baseball game are unbeatable. Even if you’re not a fan of the game, enjoying a day out of the house and talking with friends and/or family about life while everyone around you partakes in a singular activity that they can root and cheer for is always a grand t...
