Georgia DL Jamaal Jarrett apologizes for uttering racial slur while streaming NFL Draft [Updated]
Before officially playing a snap for the two-time-defending-national-champion Georgia Bulldogs, one of their star incoming freshmen is drawing more negative off-field attention to the team. Defensive lineman Jamaal Jarrett was caught on a live stream making a racially insensitive comment toward Asia...

Trevor Bauer is making as many friends in Japan as you’d think
No one thought that seeing his MLB career end in ignominy, watching no MLB team come close to signing him despite the obvious talent, and even a small chance at going to prison would change Trevor Bauer all that much (Bauer denied the allegations against him and no charges were ever filed). There pr...

Weston McKennie is not having a good time
Soccer moves fast, and it moves faster in the January transfer window. All the things Weston McKennie had to consider when a move to Leeds United from Juventus was probably thrown at him in a matter of days, if not hours. Questions of role, money, future, and the allure of moving to a country where ...

Mike Brown’s team went ‘full Mike Brown’ during the perfect Mike Brown moment
In sports, there are some things you can set your watch to. A Tom Brady game-winning drive. An early upset in the NCAA Tournament. A dramatic offseason for Aaron Rodgers. And a playoff letdown from a team coached by Mike Brown. And no matter how it may appear that times have changed, some people/thi...

Watch this rugby coach throw the worst slap of all time
Rugby is a sport all about physicality. Never mind the uncontested conversion kicks, which only occur after all the scrums and tackling leading to the 5-point score. And nothing says you played a barbaric and physically demanding sport like proving your toughness in a fight. Enter Pote Human, head c...

Examining the 2023 NFL Draft’s most polarizing war rooms
Drafting is an inexact science. If it were an exact one, teams wouldn’t rely on so much vacuous football speak during the evaluation period. That uncertainty is what makes the draft an annual crapshoot. The 2023 edition is no different. After the top two picks, the draft pivoted into unpredictable t...

Steph Curry, Playoff Jimmy, and the NBA players who willed their teams to Round 2
The first round of the NBA playoffs is over, and it was quite the show. From coast to coast, great players across the league made their presence felt in the least important round of the playoffs. Normally, the first round results in chalk, but many of the best teams of the 2022-23 NBA season have be...

Credit the Warriors for their resilience as much as their shooting
Stephen Curry signed his rookie contract extension with the Golden State Warriors on Oct. 30, 2012. That day was the start of the 2012-13 NBA Regular Season. At that time Curry had never been named an NBA All-Star or to an All-NBA Team. The Warriors went on to make the playoffs for the first time si...

Playoff hockey is stupid anyway
The NHL Playoffs gets its jollies from defying logic or explanation, and reveling in its unpredictability. That doesn’t mean it’s always a free-for-all, as hockey and its fans would have you believe. But it delves into the chaos and silliness more often than its brethren, that’s for sure....

Howie Roseman continues to rough up the NFL in trades
The bully on the block in the NFL is Howie Roseman. Other NFL general managers need to hide under their desks when he calls, because he is coming for their lunch money. For the second consecutive NFL Draft, Roseman has used the three days to significantly upgrade his roster both with rookie, and vet...

Let's check in with the Chicago White Sox
It’s rare to find a single image, GIF, snippet of video, or audio clip that perfectly sums up the way a team is playing at any given moment, but when it comes to the Chicago White Sox, Twitter has gifted us exactly that. ...

This week in bad omens: Aaron Judge injures hip on 31st birthday
Unfortunately, the ethical standards of journalism prevent me from accepting any contributions, or gifts as a thank you for my work, so for those of you looking to Venmo me some beer money for my part in the New York Yankees overpaying Aaron Judge, all I ask is that you make a donation to a charity ...

Kickers are people, too
I guess if you’re the San Francisco 49ers and you’re set at most positions, you can afford to take a kicker in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft. The team selected Michigan’s Jake Moody, who owns the Wolverines’ records for points, field goals, and 40-yard FGs, 99th overall. ...

What’s that saying about idle hands?
Imagine you’re James Harden — former league MVP, future Hall of Famer, and current member of the Philadelphia 76ers, a team with a legitimate chance to bring the City of Brotherly Love its first NBA title in 40 years, and you your first ring of a long career. What’s your main focus right now? After ...

The Detroit Lions are going for it — and why not?
When you have as many picks in the first three rounds of the NFL Draft as the Detroit Lions did — six in all — it’s easy to wager them like house money. Reach on a second-round running back at No. 12? Sure. Take a linebacker who wasn’t predicted in the first round of any of the 38,000 mock drafts? S...

These 9 NBA veterans are crucial to their team's playoff success
Older generations have always had critiques of where the game is going. Each generation, old heads critique how soft and easy the game has become. You can track this through podcasts, interviews, and any episode of the NBA on TNT with Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal. While revisionist history a...

Antonio Brown seeks attention, claims he's making NFL return
Antonio Brown is trending on Twitter again. The former NFL wide receiver tweeted that he’s unretiring, along with a Photoshopped picture of him in a Baltimore Ravens uniform....
