The Tokyo 2020/2021 Olympics are off ... or not ... maybe
It would be very….I guess we call it “this age” as 2021 hasn’t really separated itself from 2020 yet, for leagues like the NBA, NHL, various soccer leagues, and UEFA as a whole to avoid the Olympics like the plague, and then watch them canceled....
NFL doesn't give Black QBs the same opportunities

New Lions coach Dan Campbell answers age-old question: What if lighting a fart were a person?
You would have thought that after going through a disaster of an era with a phony-tough gasbag (who might also be a rapist) as a coach, the Detroit Lions would try and go the other direction.

We tuned in to see the return of Kyrie Irving as he was finally going to join James Harden and Kevin Durant in the most offensively-gifted trio in NBA history.

As sports world feels the Bern of inauguration meme, Caps feel burn of more NHL COVID protocol theater
The NHL isn’t dealing with anything the other leagues haven’t already.

Philip Rivers’ retirement forces Colts to hang ‘Help Wanted’ sign for new QB — so who is it?

Hockey media's shameful Mike Babcock rehab tour is underway
You can always count on the hockey press to give time to a former coach who gave them time back in the day. That train is never late.

Mesut Ozil and the death of the #10
If it feels like the Mesut Ozil and Arsenal soap opera has lasted longer than most actual soap operas, you’re not alone. It’s been over three seasons, spanned two managers (and an interim one), a couple different Arsenal regimes, and certainly countless social media posts and anonymous whispers from...

For most of the offseason, the Toronto Blue Jays have been desperately waving money and prospects at any passerby, hoping to attract just about any available player with a pulse to come try some Tim Horton’s and Molson Dry (mmmmm...Molson Dry…).
