CM Punk played himself
The honeymoon period with CM Punk in All Elite Wrestling has been over for a long time. It easily ceased before this week’s drama unfolded. He’s had to sink or swim based on what his current ability is for several months. If Punk was just a nostalgia act, he’d leave AEW head-honcho Tony Khan with no...
Not everyone listens when Tiger speaks
I’m just going to rip the duct tape off here because to put it delicately would lessen my point: Tiger Woods doesn’t have the moral high ground to tell anybody what to do. He has every authority in every other aspect of the LIV argument — 15 major wins, status in the game, still (kind of) playing, a...
Deshaun Watson’s suspension was weak because players still refuse to stand up for women
Silence can be ear-splitting....
It’s time for the Chargers to shine in Hollywood
The Los Angeles Chargers are officially in win-now mode after a big offseason that’s seemingly flown under the radar. LA made moves to bulk up their defense and spent big bucks to ensure they’ve at least got a shot at competing in the AFC over the next couple of years. But this two-to-three-year win...
USMNT unveils new jerseys that even the players hate
You know it’s bad when even the players hate the jerseys they’re wearing...
Bryan Danielson knows we’re uncomfortable
Bryan Danielson is a liar. Don’t take my word for it....
Terrelle Pryor must be pissed a Mississippi State football player inked a NIL deal with a tattoo artist
Some of us are old enough to remember when getting free tattoos made you the scapegoat of your athletic program. That now means we’re old enough to see that college athletes are getting free tattoos as part of their NIL deals....
Looking at possible numbers for the NFL to retire league-wide
The NFL is now the only big-four pro sports league in North America to not have a number retired throughout the league. The NBA retired Bill Russell’s No. 6 earlier this month after his death. Major League Baseball gave that honor to Jackie Robinson’s No. 42, while the NHL has barred anyone from don...

Craig Kimbrel needs to be left off the Dodgers’ postseason roster....
Cut the crap, Kirk Cousins and Justin Jefferson are a Top 10 duo in the NFL

Did the Guardians win the Francisco Lindor trade?
Perhaps the biggest bane of modern baseball is most teams’ aversion to keeping the biggest stars in the game, or even having them in the first place. Only a few teams are willing to pay the best players what they’ve earned, and everyone else is looking for ways to move them along as soon as the play...
It’ll be the NBA vs. the NFL on Christmas Day
Roger Goodell is marking his territory on property that Adam Silver has the deed to....
God bless Johnny Cueto
There’s just something about a veteran pitcher whose stuff isn’t the same and yet finds a way. The joy is in knowing every opposing fanbase is screaming, “HE’S SPINNING IT ON HIS FINGER! JUST TAKE IT!” or some such derivative while he’s on the mound as they watch hitter after hitter be bewitched by ...
Antonio Brown and Jerry Jones deserve each other in the worst way
Peanut Butter and jelly. Bacon and eggs, Jay-Z and Beyonce. We might soon be able to add Antonio Brown and Jerry Jones to that list if the former has his way. TMZ Sports caught up with Brown, where he sent a verbal message to the Cowboys owner. ...
Chelsea and Tottenham is why we watch
After yesterday’s fracas (it was certainly more than a game,) the temptation is to call Chelsea-Spurs the best rivalry going in the Premier League. Liverpool-City might have more quality, and the best quality in Europe arguably, but everything is pretty civil and they’re too respectful of each other...
I don’t know what Man United is supposed to be
As one of my oldest, closest friends likes to point out whenever ribbing me about something (those closest to you cut the deepest), the saying, “Don’t kick someone while they’re down” makes no sense. After all, they’re that much closer to your foot. ...
The 49ers’ offense is going to look a lot more explosive this season
People around the San Francisco 49ers have to be thrilled with what they saw from Trey Lance in the preseason opener....
Triple H and the WWE aren’t doing away with AEW — at least not right now
It may be the most meaningless short-term consequence of Vince McMahon’s resignation as WWE’s chairman and CEO after 40 years as professional wrestling’s most powerful dignitary — the art form’s creative direction. McMahon almost exclusively called the shots from the top since the first full year of...
What are the odds an offensive lineman wins Rookie of the Year?
An offensive lineman has never won the NFL’s Offensive Rookie of the Year Award. Is that a tragedy? Or does it make sense? Offensive linemen rarely ever score touchdowns, pick up yards, or do the Griddy (although a few have tried). ...
