Did we learn anything from Friday night’s TV wrestling war?
While it’s been fun to project the battle between AEW and WWE as a TV war, the reality has been that they’ve really been separate. Sure, AEW has vacuumed up a lot of talent that WWE left out in the alley when it was perfectly serviceable or better (is this just a Chicago thing? Every one of us had a...

If the NFL is serious about games in Europe, Jerry Jones and the Cowboys need to make some trips across the pond
In 2014, Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said that he would like to see an NFL team in London. He said this while in London for the Cowboys’ one and only appearance at the NFL London Games. Every NFL team has been to London except for the Green Bay Packers, but that doesn’t mean that the other 31 t...
Mohamed Salah is on one
I suppose being as analytic-minded as I can get that I’m going to be hypocritical here. It doesn’t help (or hurt, depending on your point of view) that I love Mohamed Salah in every sense of the word, to an extent that my vulnerability is teetering on “highly damaging.” So take that as you will....

Eagles ship Zach Ertz to the Cards… but how much can he help?
Earlier today, the Cardinals continued to build their 2017 Pro Bowl squad by adding three-time Pro Bowler Zach Ertz to their roster. A.J. Green, J.J. Watt, and now Ertz? My goodness! Imagine if Larry Fitzgerald wanted to keep playing, 20-year-old me would be going absolutely nuts right now. ...
NFL Week 6: Chargers and Cardinals each try to prove they’re the best team in the league
There is a void at the top of the NFL right now. With Kansas City sputtering at 2-3 and failing to keep opponents from scoring more than 25 every single week, the power has shifted. Nobody knows who the top dog is anymore, and every team that had become so used to playing second or third fiddle to t...
Weird flex to pivot from swastikagate to cozying up with alleged sex predators, but you do you, Herschel
It was only last month that the world was reminded — and presented with sickening details — of Ric Flair’s alleged sexual assault of a flight attendant on WWE’s infamous “Flight From Hell” in 2002....
Dan Snyder deciding to honor Sean Taylor NOW is a disgrace
The New York Giants announced in September that they will retire Michael Strahan’s number on November 28. Earlier this month, when Pau Gasol retired, Lakers owner Jeanie Buss immediately said that his No. 16 would go to the rafters. The Oakland A’s have been planning Dave Stewart’s jersey retirement...
Kyrie is an agenda whether he likes it or not
It’s not that Kyrie Irving is wrong about everything, because he’s been right in the past. And he’s done good things. It’s just that he likes to huff his own farts. And when you’re someone who likes to huff your own farts, two things happen. A) You’re bound to do and say some pretty dumb stuff to pr...
Did you know, Did you know, Did you know, a Jordan Brand executive has a dark but important story to tell
Temple graduate, MBA from LaSalle, 10 years with Nike, former president of the Portland Trail Blazers, and boasting a CAA Speakers profile, this is how you would expect a Jordan Brand executive’s resume to read. That resume belongs to Larry Miller, chairman of the company’s advisory board. However, ...
Brett Favre knew he was in shady territory with $1.1M Mississippi boondoggle, letter alleges
Brett Favre’s most famous work on the football field came when the clock was running down, so maybe that’s the motivation the Hall of Fame quarterback needs to repay the state of Mississippi the money he promised to repay after Temporary Assistance for Needy Families funds were funneled to him for a...

No one cares if they can coexist
To claim that there is one tired storyline trope that WWE has to do away with is to bring a squirt gun to a massive inferno. It doesn’t cover the breadth of the company’s problems, and you probably don’t have enough ammo to even take care of the specific portion you want. And it might come down to p...
