Sarah Thomas provides a bright spot on a bad day for women in sports
On a day where it’s been made clear just how shitty of an arena sports can be for women, there’s also an example of the sliver of progress that has been made. Sarah Thomas will become the first woman to officiate the Super Bowl, as she was named the down judge for the NFL’s showpiece. She can look f...
Steph Curry randomly dumpsters Acie Law, who did nothing to deserve this
Stephen Curry is used to being flagrantly disrespectful on the court with his handle and ability to drain a shot from 40-plus feet. But the stray shot Acie Law caught from the two-time MVP after the Warriors’ MLK Day win against the Lakers might be Curry’s best work....
Surprise! Colin Cowherd has a bad idea, so let's play 'Hot Turd Time Machine'
I know you’re incredibly shocked by this, but Colin Cowherd said something stupid. Again. ...
Le Batard discusses new working relationship with John Skipper: ‘This is just the start’
If you’ve been paying attention, Dan Le Batard has been subtly leaking his and his radio show’s ambitions on his own pirate platform since exiting ESPN. The functionally dysfunctional show — driven by Le Batard and disrupted by Stugotz — vaguely discussed their pending array of moves on today’s prog...
Drew Brees smelled like garbage on way out the door
It’s Trashing talking Tuesday, and today I’m trashing Saints QB Drew Brees....
Storylines abound in this week's Conference Championship matchups
There are four teams left in the quest for the Lombardi, all of whom are playing fantastic football. This weekend, we will have the NFC and AFC Championship games take place, and man are they ripe with storylines. Tom Brady vs. Aaron Rodgers, Rodgers’ first NFC Championship game at home in Lambeau (...
Novak Djokovic’s COVID inanity makes you wonder ... if only Nick Kyrgios was this sharp on the tennis court
For some, the sporting calendar is even more off this month than normal. That’s because the Australian Open would be entertaining insomniacs, alcoholics, angry loners, and the unemployable late at night under normal circumstances. The tournament has been pushed back three weeks to better fit in Aust...
The Cubs quietly tolerated Jared Porter’s sliminess for years
Jared Porter is out as general manager of the Mets, and that’s good. The new ownership in New York promised accountability, and after ESPN’s detailed report Monday night on Porter’s harassment of a reporter with dozens of text messages, including a dick pic, Porter was given the heave-ho on Tuesday ...
NBA Daily Fantasy: With tiny two-game slate, now is not the night to avoid Nikola Jokic
The amount of fingers Kendrick Lamar tells you to put in the air during HiiiPower is higher than the amount of NBA games scheduled for tonight. Fret not, misled degenerate, that makes the evening more enticing, not less. If you subscribe to the preference of being a big fish in a small pond, these t...
Dear Jackie MacMullan: Kyrie Irving and Black NBA players aren’t anybody’s ‘property’
Jackie MacMullan is one of the world’s best sportswriters and has covered a Black league in the NBA for decades. As a woman working in a male-dominated industry, you would think she would have a good grasp on the diminished role minorities have historically played in sports....
Mets fire creep Jared Porter hours after report of his sex harassment
It had been one of the few Mets offseasons with a glow. A new owner who, at least at the moment, wants to run the team like it should be run. The acquisition of possibly the most fun player in the league in Francisco Lindor. But this is the Mets, and stepping on a rake is never more than two strides...
Tom Brady remains the L.O.A.T. — Luckiest Of All Time
The false narrative will be ramped up....
Why Martin Luther King Jr. would be happy to know that sports are still saving America
If Martin Luther King Jr. hadn’t been assassinated by the predecessors of the political party that will misuse his quotes today, he’d have been 92, and I imagine rather pleased with the role that sports have played in society....
Chiefs survive Mahomes injury, Brady heads to another conference championship
The Divisional Round is over, and for the 14th time, Tom Brady is on his way to a conference championship game. Brady and Aaron Rodgers will meet in the NFC Championship Game, while Josh Allen will square off with reigning Super Bowl Patrick Mahomes, as long as he’s healthy....
NBA Daily Fantasy: Who to watch for on a loaded MLK Day slate
Nine games scheduled; we’ll see if that stands. Hopefully you’re reading this before noon, otherwise, you’ll have missed the Knicks vs. the Magic. If you did that on purpose, I’d understand. (The Knicks are pretty fun so far, though!) Anyway, we’ll begin tonight across the bridge from them in Brookl...
Tony Romo is a pox on all our houses
The Browns and Chiefs played a very good, entertaining, tense playoff game. It was close, came down to the last possession, and ended on one of the ballsier calls a head coach has made in a long time. It was nearly dreamland for the Browns, and the Chiefs were able to survive having the most importa...
Mahomes ruled out of game with apparent concussion
Patrick Mahomes has been ruled out of the game after suffering a head injury. The QB left the field in the third quarter after a hit left him struggling to stand up....
Just change this stupid end zone fumble rule already
I hate bad rules in sports. I hate them even more when they cost teams a game. I hate them even more when it potentially costs a team a playoff win. The Browns were the subject of my least favorite rule in sports – the shitty end zone fumble touchback thingy....
Liverpool, Manchester United draw to leave door open for Manchester City
Perhaps no match felt weirder without fans than the biggest rivalry in English football. Usually the atmosphere for a Liverpool-Man United match can be described as overly passionate, vitriolic, psychotic, poisonous, and/or blood-thirsty. Without the 55,000 baying until their lungs shriveled and fil...
