If Canadians can’t watch a junior hockey practice livestream, the virus has won
Because there’s a lot of Canadian TV money invested in it, hockey’s World Junior Championships are still on track to take place at the end of the month.

Big Ten screws over Indiana, rewards COVID-y team with not enough wins

Predicting the starting NFL QBs likely to end up elsewhere next year

Coach K is still a weasel
As college basketball continues to be the live-action version of the cartoon dog sitting at his breakfast nook amongst an inferno, it is screaming for someone, anyone, to act like an actual adult.

A wide swath of soccer fans have been clamoring for a promotion/relegation system for MLS.

This Sean McVay stat will blow your mind
Three years ago, Sean McVay could seemingly do no wrong. He was the wunderkind of the NFL, a savant of offensive play-calling, the maestro of the second coming of the “Greatest Show on Turf.” Whatever he touched turned to gold. Any assistant lucky enough to shake his hand suddenly shot up job boards...
Who are the oldest players in the NFL, and when should they retire?
With only a few weeks left in the NFL regular season, and with Philip Rivers turning 39 today, it’s time to take a look at some of the grizzled vets of the league. Actually, the grizzliest, if you will. Some should probably hang it up after week 17. Others may have a few years left in the tank....
