DeSean Jackson roasts Bucs en route to record-setting day
On Sunday, the Rams put a nice little whooping on Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 34-24. Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford may receive the bulk of his team’s praise for the win, but DeSean Jackson had a great game in his own right — and not only that, he set a record in the process. ...

Chiefs get too cute, find themselves at 1-2
The Kansas City Chiefs are looking less mighty and more vulnerable just three games into the season. On Sunday, the Chiefs suffered only their third division loss (vs Chargers 30-24) against the AFC West since Patrick Mahomes became the starter in 2018. Last week, the Chiefs fell to Lamar Jackson an...
Euro trashed
Another prediction I made got motherfucked, as the U.S. simply fustigated Team Europe in the Ryder Cup by the insulting score of 19-9. It’s the largest margin of victory for either side since the competition was expanded to include all of Europe. It was an ass-kicking from Friday morning until Sunda...

Read 'em and weep: Here are the worst droughts in modern sports, non-title edition
The White Sox have won their first division title since 2008, which doesn’t really feel right, because they’ve only had two truly awful seasons in the last decade and a half, and power in the Central is rarely concentrated anywhere for too long, but it’s true. It would be a weird thing to lie about....

The Panthers’ defense is definitely legit (and Sam Darnold might be too)
The Carolina Panthers are back, y’all. Be it by popular or unpopular demand, this team looks good.

A change of scenery — namely, getting the hell away from the New York Jets — se...
