Imagine if Terry McLaurin had someone better than Taylor Heinecke
Washington Football Team wide receiver Terry McLaurin is having a very good season, probably the best of his three-year career. Scary Terry is on pace to surpass his career-best marks in yards per game (78.6) and touchdowns (on pace for 9.7), and he’s doing all of this while having Taylor Heinicke t...
The Braves are in the World Series, and the Knicks are winning in prime time: Someone bring me my damn Tamagotchi
It was throwback night in professional sports on Tuesday. The evening began with a nationally televised prime time Knicks game at Madison Square Garden on TNT… and a half hour after that started, the Atlanta Braves played in their first World Series game in 22 years. Both teams won, but that wasn’t ...
The Blackhawks are forced to face their reckoning, 11 years too late
The details are always worse than you can imagine, even if the overall arc of the story is exactly what we all expected. And so it proved as the Chicago Blackhawks released the findings of their internal investigation into how the organization handled accusations of sexual assault and harrassment by...
I dare you to ask Mike Tomlin about the USC job
On Monday, former USC quarterback Carson Palmer appeared on the Dan Patrick Show. At the end of the interview, Patrick threw in a question about Palmer’s role in USC’s coaching search and it turned into the highlight of the interview. He said that USC is looking at several coaches, and mentioned a n...

Week 7 NFL Powerless Rankings: The Chiefs keep falling, the Jets are real bad
We’re about halfway through the 2021 NFL season, and at this point, we can pretty much separate the serious contenders from the pretenders....
It’s time to send Bob Nightengale to a farm upstate
It’s not much of a story that Bob Nightengale was once again spewing out lava of baseball drivel. That’s been his gig for years now, essentially just acting as a conduit for whatever bullshit the powers that be want out there in exchange for his beloved “access.” Access which he’ll use to lord over ...
Patrick Mahomes takes a vicious hit to the head
Every week, it seems, something happens to remind us just how dangerous it is to play pro football. On Sunday night, it was the Seahawks’ Darren Taylor being back-boarded and carted off the field. This week, it was Patrick Mahomes, the face of the NFL, being helped off the field by his teammates....

NFL Week 7: Chiefs take on Titans aaaand…
If you’re not a fantasy football player, you might want to avert your eyes on Sunday, because there isn’t a single matchup that really jumps off the page at you. In fact, there is only one game set to take place between two teams with winning records: Cincinnati (4-2) at Baltimore (5-1), but Cincinn...
The Chiefs desperately need Josh Gordon to work out
In the first two games of the Josh Gordon era in Kansas City, there haven’t been many opportunities for him to shine on the field. In limited time, Gordon has one catch in two games for 11 yards. I guess it’s safe to say Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is bringing him along slowly. ...
The Bills went for the win on Monday night, and don’t you dare judge them because it didn’t work out
The old saying, “playing not to lose, instead of playing to win,” was used in some of the most hypocritical ways in the past. It was used in football to shame teams that jump in the prevent defense too early, or run the ball three consecutive plays when leading at the end of a game to try and run ou...
Washington screws up Sean Taylor jersey retirement ceremony, because obviously
It appears that the Washington Football Team’s retirement of Sean Taylor’s number on Sunday was what it looked like, read like, and felt like — a half-assed PR ploy....
Dave Roberts can’t help himself
The MLB playoffs can get pretty muddled between decisions and results. Rarely do they line up because... y’know, baseball. It doesn’t cooperate. Right decisions, wrong results, vice versa, the throughline is rarely consistent. But Dave Roberts has been at this for years now, so he certainly makes fo...

I’ve got a feeeeeeeling… It’ll be Bills & Bolts in AFC title game
The Buffalo Bills and L.A. Chargers are on a collision course that looks like it could wind up culminating in an AFC Championship Game matchup in January. I know we’re barely one-quarter through the season, but these teams are at the top of the conference as it stands after their Week 5 performances...

NFL Week 5 returns us to the eternal question: Why are the London games always trash?
In 2021, there are two NFL games slated to play in London. The first is happening this weekend as the Atlanta Falcons take on the New York Jets. Now… you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Gee, that matchup sounds awful. If we’re really trying to expand the sport, why don’t we show London the absolu...
