Doug Marrone Has Been Waiting Four Years To Stick It To The Jets
The Jaguars beat the Jets 31-12 on Sunday, and it was about as one-sided as an NFL game gets.

Restructured United Soccer League Apes Everything British, Except For What Matters
The levels of the American soccer pyramid are confusing, mostly because they are make-believe.

Max Domi Sucker-Punched Aaron Ekblad
NHL opening night is less than two weeks away, and it’s safe to assume the Canadiens, mired in mediocrity and dysfunction, feel like they have a lot to prove. They’re also not going to be very good at hockey, which is often a recipe for a team eager to scrap. Yes, even in preseason. ...

Jerry Jones The Owner Might Want To Have A Word With Jerry Jones The GM

Doug Marrone Claims He's "So Pissed Off" At Not Reaching A Super Bowl That He's Never Watched One
Jaguars coach Doug Marrone probably should have coached in the Super Bowl last season and, if he had, he would have witnessed his first Super Bowl action in, uh, over 40 years, somehow?

Washington And ESPN Are Being Whiny Little Babies About An Announcer's Tweet
