Jackson Mahomes seeks to overcome isolation by modifying bond

If there’s someone associated with turning their meal-ticket fame into bad decisions, it’s Jackson Mahomes. And a week after the 22-year-old thinks-he’s-a-social-media-influencer and younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was arrested on aggravated sexual battery and a mis...

Chicago Cubs skipper David Ross is clueless

Modern baseball thinking has it that the manager in the dugout is just an extension of the front office. He pressed the buttons he was told to, and if he can help manage personalities and keep a bunch of millionaires from knifing each other over seven hot months, so much the better. So maybe David R...

Blood, sweat, and bodyslams: 10 moments that defined the Heat-Knicks playoff rivalry

The Miami Heat and New York Knicks have plenty of bad blood, dating back to the mid-90s. Even 30 years after Pat Riley left New York for Miami, storylines remain between the two teams. Riley is now the Heat’s president, while Tom Thibodeau, an assistant for Jeff Van Gundy, Riley’s successor in New Y...

Did you know the Kansas City Chiefs' actual mascot is not at all problematic?

The NFL’s wanderlust has led to the league potentially moving a Kansas City Chiefs home game to Germany. Whether or not that occurs is still up for debate, but we should know by Thursday’s schedule reveal. But if the NFL does export its premier team to Europe’s unofficial football capital, chances a...

Gabriel ThreeYaksAndADog will miss all of next season, and the Colorado Avalanche era may already be over

In the salary-capped NHL, you get one, or two shots with one roster, and then you basically have to reshuffle everything around your core stars, and hope that new hand still produces a flush. It’s a constant game of draw poker. ...

The Chicago Blackhawks, the worst team you know, got all the luck

Tanking isn’t a plan, at least in leagues with a lottery. It’s a wager. A GM or front office or owner isn’t putting up money, other than the lack of tickets and merch they’ll sell while their team is shit. They’re putting up a season or many of complete haplessness with rosters devoid of useful play...

Jackson Mahomes, brother of Chiefs QB, arrested and charged with aggravated sexual battery [Updated]

Jackson Mahomes, the 22-year-old obnoxious wannabe social media influencer and brother of two-time NFL MVP and Super Bowl champion Patrick Mahomes, was arrested Wednesday and charged with three counts of aggravated sexual battery, according to reports....

What Serena Williams, all the athletes at the Met Gala wore

Unless you’ve been living off the grid or seriously eschew social media (without lurking, in which case you’re a better person than the rest of us), you probably know that last night was the Met Gala. On the one hand, the Met Gala is an elitist snobfest that this year honored iconic designer Karl La...

The New York Rangers eat dirt like the frauds they’ve always been

It’s important to review recent New York Rangers history to know why they ended up with a handful of their own dicks in the first round, to a New Jersey Devils team that is far more equipped for what wins in the NHL these days. Two years ago, James Dolan took a break from his normal paint-huffing ro...

2023 NFL Draft Winner and Losers

The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is over and Thursday proved to be one of the needle-moving days on the league’s calendar. Lamar Jackson finally got paid and several teams addressed some of their biggest needs ahead of next season. There were only 31 first-round picks this year (haha Miami) and...

Black QBs make NFL Draft history while white QB sits in green room

What happened to Kentucky quarterback Will Levis wasn’t funny. It felt cruel watching someone experience their most humiliating moment on the night in which their dreams were supposed to come true. But for African-Americans — or at least for myself — it was impossible to ignore the irony. For decade...

Hendon Hooker might be the gem of the 2023 NFL Draft Class, despite his age

Any team lacking a true QB1 that is picking No. 15 or lower in the 2023 NFL Draft needs to take a long look at former Tennessee Volunteers signal-caller Hendon Hooker. He has his flaws, but on the field, they are no worse than any of the top quarterback prospects. His are just different. Hooker has ...

So you traded the No. 1 pick — now what, Chicago?

The Chicago Bears failed in the most ideal way possible last season. They finished with the worst record in the NFL, and still found a way to unleash breathtaking athleticism from Justin Fields. ...

Biggest NFL Draft Day Trades of All TIme

The NFL Draft has finally arrived, and each year, we can always expect the unexpected once it rolls around. Most years, we see trades of all kinds, some of which have changed teams for the better, and others for the worse. We never know when it will happen, but each year brings many surprises that c...

Why pay for a Lamborghini when your QB can’t drive a stick?

There aren’t a lot of NFL Draft takes left in this burlap sack I call a brain, so my apologies if this is recycled, but is Daniel Jones deserving of a No. 1 wide receiver? The New York Giants quarterback got paid this offseason, and now Joe Schoen and Brian Daboll are stuck — err, excuse me — have t...

Let’s ban Minnesota sports teams from the playoffs

As you get older, all you really ask of sports is to keep you entertained and to provide something interesting to talk about from time to time. You want good teams playing a lively style, and you want them playing another team with perhaps a good story and some verve to them. At the very least, you ...

The Devils go old school

Hockey looking back on its history is not usually a good thing. The game is better now, it’s faster now, there is more skill than ever before, and the sport is better off now that it’s moved out of its bar brawl past, even if Flyers fans still base their entire existence on thinking that’s how the g...

Anthony Richardson should be the anchor of Pete Carroll’s Legion of Sonic Boom

Anthony Richardson should be off the board in a blur whether he goes number one to the Carolina Panthers, third to whoever trades up with Arizona, or fourth to the Colts. However, the Seahawks drafting Richardson as the anchor of their budding offensive track team is the best fit. ...
