Jake Paul stealing the show is a dangerous omen for boxing
November 28 was one of the year’s craziest nights to date, yet an actual fight between 54-year-old Mike Tyson and 51-year-old Roy Jones Jr. doesn’t top the list of reasons why. In fact, the Tyson-Jones main event doesn’t rank in the top three....

Saturday Fight Night: Previewing Mike Tyson v. Roy Jones Jr. (& Nate Robinson v. Jake Paul!) [UPDATED]
More than 15 years ago, Mike Tyson sat on his ass for 13 seconds at the end of round six against journeyman heavyweight Kevin McBride. Referee Joe Cortez told Tyson to “come on” or “get up” a total of 12 times — because he wasn’t even knocked down, he was pushed. Even after the bell rang, Tyson appe...
NFL’s first all-Black ref crew is worth celebrating, but it should not have taken this long
Last night, history was made — the first all African American officiating crew took the field for an NFL game. This moment deserves to be recognized, but it is also infuriating that in the year 2020, barriers still need to be broken. I hate that we have to celebrate this moment....
Two dudes got knocked out over the weekend — let’s all watch together
Let’s be honest with ourselves. People don’t turn into boxing matches or mixed martial arts bouts to see defense or technique. We want to see somebody get knocked out....
Who are the hidden gems of NBA Free Agency so far?
This is not to guarantee that every single one of these esteemed gentlemen will be awesome, nor are these the only signings who fit the ‘under-the-radar’ bill. Rather, these are several guys who should thrive in their respective new homes. When looking back a year from now, 1) Hopefully, we will hav...

Alabama’s new Senator-Coach Tuberville doesn’t know the three branches of government [eyeroll emoji]
I can’t believe I’m typing this, but the people of Alabama elected a college football coach as their next senator, Tommy Tuberville....
Many disgraceful moments
With no March Madness this year because of the coronavirus pandemic, there was no “One Shining Moment,” the annual montage of NCAA Tournament highlights on CBS....
Tommy Tuberville proves we can do without the South
I know what happens every time you say something like that. I know there’s a lot of good people south of the Mason Dixon, or even south of I-80. At least that’s what they keep saying. And hey, a lot of dangerous jagoffs have been elected from the North. Except they come from places that want to be i...
Trump’s long history of trying to stick it to sports: A timeline
Today is Election Day, and in a few hours (or days) we, hopefully, we will know the results of the most important Presidential Election in modern times....
No, a college football team can't beat pros, but could a Pee Wee team beat '20 Kansas? Jury's out.
With Trevor Lawrence out due to coronavirus and top-ranked Clemson needing a furious comeback from an 18-point halftime deficit to avoid being upset at home and beat Boston College, 34-28, we can put aside for a moment that classic silly question of whether the Tigers beat the New York Jets....
The Dallas Cowboys are truly 'America's Team'
I and many others have lamented the exposure the Dallas Cowboys get, despite the team being a complete waste of everyone’s time. ESPN, NBC, FOX — they can’t wait to lustily paste the Star of Texas on their prime windows, and yet all the ‘Boys do is throw up masticated foodstuffs pretty much every ti...
Doug Jones roasts Tommy Tuberville’s coaching career, surges in Alabama senate polls
It is nearly impossible to not turn into your favorite forehead-slapping meme when discussing the Alabama senate race between Tommy Tuberville and Doug Jones. Any logical analyses of it can cause your brain to liquify and drip out of your nose to find the sweet release of non-existence. On the one s...
FOX's camera crew didn’t think the Giants could make a play, either
Surprise! The Giants are… winning a football game?...
Thanks to putrid Giants and Jets, just call it New Yuck, New Yuck

My Son Is Also Named Dort: The Game 7 That Wouldn't End Because Refs Ref It Up
It was another primetime night for the NBA in Orlando, and generally their worst nightmare is when the refs hijack such an occasion. NBA refs can never decide if they want to be the show or not, and the indecision tends to just make it worse (credit the other sports arbiters for knowing exactly what...
All This Cowboys Hype is Ridiculous... Again
Today, I’m trashing owner Jerry Jones and his Dallas Cowboys....
Dallas Becomes the Nexus of All Our Problems
On the same day that Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that the Cowboys will play in front of their fans when the NFL season kicks off, it must turn his incredibly stretched skin red and close to rupture to know that another team in Dallas was the first to play in front of fans last night....
Is a Sentient AI Trying to Destroy the Pittsburgh Pirates?
It was always going to be a trudge for the Pittsburgh Pirates. They are the only team in the NL Central not at least making an effort to win. They’ve been stripped of almost any recognizable players. Their fans have to watch Austin Meadows and Tyler Glasnow anchor the competitive Rays while Chris Ar...
