Non-working showers, tiny locker rooms, and having to play for Josh McDaniels: NFLPA releases team report cards
If the NFL Players Association’s annual team report card, which is voted on by the players from each franchise, is any indication, playing for Cincinnati Bengals’ owner Mike Brown is only a few steps divorced from suiting up for fictional Cleveland MLB owner Rachel Phelps — complete with non-working...
I’ll give you even odds that Tyreek Hill turns into Antonio Brown in 3 years
Since Tyreek Hill was traded away from the Kansas City Chiefs, he allegedly smacked a guy at a marina, said he wants to be a pornstar, said he wants to fight Jake Paul, aired out his former organization multiple times, had his mansion burn down due to a child playing with fire, had his attorney acci...
Roger Goodell wants NFL players to have a ‘voice’ in volatile Election Year. Don’t believe him
In football, the line of scrimmage is where the “rubber meets the road.” In politics, it occurs inside the voting booth. Roger Goodell’s recent comments on politics and sports are proof that the league could be on the verge of repeating the same mistakes it did during the Colin Kaepernick era, as th...
Sounds like nobody wants Russell Wilson — unless he gets cut
Denver Broncos head coach Sean Payton announced Tuesday that the team’s decision on the fate of quarterback Russell Wilson will come in the next two weeks. Tell that to the rest of the league. ...

What the hell is wrong with Sean Payton?
Earth to Sean Payton: Russell Wilson is still on the Denver Broncos’ roster. There is nothing the Denver coach can say to make that $85 million in dead salary go away. The NFL salary cap for the 2024 season will be $255.4 million. That dead money would account for a third of their cap space, and the...
Might be time for Trae Young to get shoved out of the Hawks' nest
It’s tough to know when to know when to throw in the towel on an era, but the bruised and bloodied Trae Young era Atlanta Hawks are beginning to look like they should throw in the towel. The Hawks are now six years into Young’s tenure as their cornerstone and all they have to show for the rollercoa...
You probably forgot these NFL players were on these teams
The NFL is pretty good at keeping home-grown stars at home, but even some of the most iconic players end up with teams other than the ones they made their careers with. Even players with two iconic runs have a weird bump in the road every now and then. We all know the Tom Brady stint with the Tampa ...
In defense of bad officiating
I’m not going to list all of the polarizing topics people argue about on the internet because there’s not enough time in the day, and I typically avoid thinking about things that make me want to chug paint thinner. There’s so little human beings can agree on that we need at least one evil force to u...
When NFL teams say they have salary cap problems, don't believe them
It’s that time of year in the NFL when you’ll hear the term ‘salary cap’ about 100 times per day. Former Super Bowl-winning offensive lineman Mark Schlereth recently spilled the beans on the cap being fake and how the league/teams use fear tactics to make fans think it’s more significant than it is ...
Was Taylor Swift the reason Colin Cowherd's home was broken into?
Fox Sports talking head Colin Cowherd said his Westerly, R.I. house was broken into on Feb. 23, and he theorizes that the alleged perpetrator might have had the wrong address. ...
Juwan Howard and John Beilein finally have something in common — 20-loss seasons at Michigan
One guy did it in his first season in Ann Arbor — before going on to win a pair of regular-season and conference tournament championships, along with appearing in two national title games. The latest guy is doing it in what might be his last season in Ann Arbor — with one regular-season championship...
Is trouble brewing for the USWNT?
It’s been mostly quiet on the Western front for the USWNT since last summer’s World Cup full-body dry heave. A couple of friendlies to send off legends, a couple more to close out the year with no stakes, and an easy start to the Women’s Gold Cup last week with resounding wins over the Dominican Rep...
Steve Ballmer is giving the Clippers a <i>Pretty Woman</i> makeover
As part of their attempt to emancipate themselves from the Lakers and rebrand their image, Steve Ballmer took the LA Clippers out on a shopping spree and unveiled the images of their new logo and uniforms to ESPN’s Zach Lowe. ...
Have the Premier League’s financial rules kept Newcastle from being Newcastle?
While the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability Rules might have lost a shade or two off their teeth with the news today that Everton have had their 10-point penalty reduced to six on appeal (though they have another charge to dodge), that doesn’t mean they’re not having an effect. The desolate...
Trying to fight Cam Newton is just plain dumb
Sitting on the couch (or in the press box) and believing that you can do, or be better at, what professional athletes accomplish every day is outrageous. But thinking you can beat up a man who’s arguably the most physically imposing quarterback the NFL has ever seen isn’t just laughable, it’s proof ...
What a difference a year has made for the Green Bay Packers
It’s amazing the difference a year can make. Twelve months ago, there were so many questions in Green Bay surrounding the Packers’ future. Between Aaron Rodgers wanting to move on and not knowing exactly what they had in Jordan Love, there were plenty of questions entering last offseason. One year l...
Even after Kyle Filipowski injury, court storming is an addiction college hoops fans won’t quit
For decades, court stormings have been college basketball’s most controversial tradition. On one hand, it’s a sign of exuberant fans and school pride, but in an increasingly anxious sports world, it’s also a threat to the safety of players. As Caitlyn Clark discovered last month against Ohio State, ...
How blatantly does Eric Bieniemy have to fail to fail upward?
I just want to point out that coaches like Bobby Petrino and Hugh Freeze, who should be banned for life from the collegiate ranks, are still getting high-profile coordinator and head coaching opportunities. Yet Bieniemy, who isn’t a saint but also didn’t wreck his motorcycle with his mistress on the...
Playing for the Jets was so bad, this WR emphatically said he'll never go back
Wide receiver Mecole Hardman has won three Super Bowls with the Kansas City Chiefs. He was the hero of Super Bowl LVIII, hauling in the game-winning TD in overtime. ...
