There was one thing Zach Wilson didn't boot Sunday night

There is reason to question if Zach Wilson has learned how to play the quarterback position better since last season. What he has been able to do, though, is learn to drop his stank attitude and go over the top in accepting blame in defeat. Wilson fell on his sword in front of the media following th...

Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce and other high profile athlete-celebrity romances that make you go, 'Hmmm'

Even if you’re famous, having someone to cuddle with at night is still a priority. It’s harder in the public eye to keep who your bedmate is on the down low, and in some cases, wondering how these pairs came together is more interesting than their relationship itself.

The Washington Capitals only exist for one reason now

The NHL spent a good decade trying to revolve their league around a Pittsburgh Penguins-Washington Capitals rivalry, and more to the point, a Sidney Crosby-Alex Ovechkin one. Unable to come up with any original ideas, because it’s the NHL, it did its best to copy the Bird-Magic dynamic from the NBA ...

The Jets are exactly who we thought they were

The Jets are finding out quickly that every game isn’t going to be like Week 1, where they were gifted a win by Josh Allen, and the Buffalo Bills. Life without Aaron Rodgers will be just like it was before he arrived. All this talk about rolling with Zach Wilson already looks like a huge mistake. It...

Aaron Rodgers and his delusions of grandeur about returning this season

Aaron Rodgers’ first season in New York came to a screeching halt last Monday after suffering a devastating Achilles injury on his fourth snap in his debut game.

Don't be fooled by the NFL teams that played above and below expectations in Week 1

Week 1 of the NFL season is in the books, and as usual, we’ve got some extreme overreactions to some of the action. We see this every year early on when teams play far above their expected output or well below. So, let’s figure out which teams may have fooled the masses during the opening week of th...

The New York Jets' O-Line needs to block for whoever is under center

On an early first down Monday night, 38-year-old New York Jets left tackle Duane Brown attempted a poorly executed cut block that resulted in Buffalo Bills edge rusher Leonard Floyd getting a free shot at Aaron Rodgers. New York’s pricey new quarterback lacking time in the pocket to operate behind a...

Life without Tom Brady: For the first time since 1999, here are all the things we (thankfully) never have to think about again

As far as we can tell, Tom Brady is retired from the NFL. That doesn’t mean he definitely won’t change his mind once Week 1 is underway and Brady is sitting at home, asking people if they think he can throw a football over them there mountains, or whatever.

<i>Hard Knocks Episode 4</i>: Finally, something other than Aaron Rodgers

I would estimate that more than half of the fourth episode of Hard Knocks had nothing to do with Aaron Rodgers. Outside of an extended practice sequence that portrayed him as a conquering hero for turning the offense around after a poor drive, his lecture to Zach Wilson about Bluetooth EMF waves, an...

What if there was a Mendoza Line for other baseball stats?

If Michigan's Jim Harbaugh gambit works, it will be a horrible look for the NCAA

Michigan football won’t have Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines for its first three games of the season, and it’s only trio of nonconference contests of the year before a possible bowl game. Yawn. Like it’ll matter. It’s part of the school’s self-imposed penalty for Harbaugh’s alleged recruiting violatio...

The Ravens’ NFL record for preseason wins is more than simply a trivia fact

A dynasty like the NFL has never seen before will be taking the field on Monday night. When the Baltimore Ravens go up against the Washington Commanders, they will be looking to add to a record that will likely never be topped — mostly because no team will ever make the effort....

The James Harden domino effect could be epic in Philly

Philadelphia is a sad basketball city at the moment. Another season has passed where the 76ers can’t get over the hump, and their two stars are unhappy with how the team is being run. Surely, this isn’t the summer anyone in the organization envisioned after Joel Embiid finally broke through to becom...

Is this finally the year for the New York Jets?

As Aaron Rodgers steps into the Showtime spotlight of the Big Apple, he will have to do his best Magic Johnson impersonation to get the most out of his many talented options. Rodgers has two of his trusted pass catchers from Green Bay by his side in Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb, as well as a rising...

Niners could be in for a bumpy ride on their QB carousel

Championship urgency is more real in the NFL than in any other sport. When that window is open, teams have to climb up the ladder and jump in like Sam in Clarissa Explains it All. Any hesitation and soon that hard salary cap will not allow a contending team to satisfy every talented player who deser...

No, Domingo Germán is not a ‘sweetheart’

Domingo Germán’s career was forever altered the moment he threw the 24th perfect game in baseball history. As many humans have walked on the moon as have walked off an MLB mound perfect, and Germán is one of them. Despite a 5-7 record, and 4.56 ERA this year — and 4.41 ERA for his career — he’s show...
