The further we get away from Mike Zimmer’s firing in Minnesota, the more it sounds like a living hell
All the tea is spilling now about former Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer and the toxic culture he influenced during his final days. People are talking, and almost all of what’s being said paints Zimmer in less than flattering light....
Jason Peters might not be making Cowboys jokes this year
The NFL has many history-rich rivalries that go back quite a few decades. Most stem from within the division to regional and even personal issues between organizations. One of the more prominent NFL rivalries over the past 20 years has been the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles in the NFC East....
Behold! Your 2022 NFL all-washed team
Even the greatest NFL players eventually peak and begin that tumble back down the mountain.

The SEC is obnoxiously perfect in Week One
The upset of Week 1 in college football wasn’t really an upset — if you ask SEC fans. Bill Napier, in his first game as the head coach of Florida, knocked off defending Pac-12 champ, No. 7 Utah, in a contest of physical strength that featured six lead changes and a tie....
Sometimes predictable is the way to go
It finally happened and is one prime example of why I believe predictability isn’t always a negative in professional wrestling.

Remember when James Franklin was rumored for the USC job? Lol, me too
Any writer looking to get a head start on next year’s “Coach on the hottest seat” countdown might want to keep an eye on James Franklin. Even though the 10-year contract extension Penn State gave him in 2021 is likely enough to ensure his seat stays lukewarm, it was impossible to watch the season-op...
These USMNT players vying for World Cup roster will benefit from transfer window
The biggest hammer never dropped during transfer deadline day for the United States men’s national team fans.

It’s just a game
The first time I wrote “professionally” about Serena Williams, back when Bleacher Report was still an onslaught of slideshows, I called her overrated. I was just out of college, and my terrible, awful, horrendous take was she didn’t win as much as she could. This was more than a decade ago, and it w...
College Football Playoff expanding to 12 teams in 2026
The College Football Playoff is expanding, finally. After a decade of a four-team tournament to determine the FBS national champion, the field is tripling starting by the 2026 season.

Where does Tony Khan think stars come from?
AEW maven Tony Khan had his pre-All Out media call yesterday. These can be fascinating encounters, where he’s there basically to promote a show, and most of the people asking him questions are throwing hanging curveballs so he can do so. However, every so often someone asks him something that doesn’...
