When will these teams finally win and finally lose?
After three weeks, nearly everyone in the NFL has a win, and nearly everyone has a loss. There are just five winless teams remaining, and five undefeated teams keeping the 1972 Dolphins from their annual champagne toast....
Enough with all the Eli slander
It’s a Trash Talking Tuesday, and today I’m trashing all those NFL fans who still don’t respect Eli Manning’s career....
DeSean Jackson roasts Bucs en route to record-setting day
On Sunday, the Rams put a nice little whooping on Tom Brady’s Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 34-24. Los Angeles quarterback Matthew Stafford may receive the bulk of his team’s praise for the win, but DeSean Jackson had a great game in his own right — and not only that, he set a record in the process. ...
Look, I’m really trying to avoid wrestling company tribalism, but…
It would be healthier to not use WWE as a comparison point for AEW, or vice versa. One shouldn’t need the other to prove why it’s good and worthy of fanship. And you can enjoy both equally, which should make this time the best it’s ever been to be a fan (and it is!). These are the tenets I’m trying ...
Rams show they’re the best team in the league as Matthew Stafford cooks up Bucs like a beef brisket
The Rams are an impressive football team. We’ve known this for a few years now. They were an elite quarterback away from having a chance to win a Super Bowl....
Euro trashed
Another prediction I made got motherfucked, as the U.S. simply fustigated Team Europe in the Ryder Cup by the insulting score of 19-9. It’s the largest margin of victory for either side since the competition was expanded to include all of Europe. It was an ass-kicking from Friday morning until Sunda...
They’re still Manchester Damn City
It’s a little surprising, just a bit, how a team that cantered to the Premier League title and was a Champions League finalist just a few months ago can somehow fly under the radar. But with the noise of Cristiano Ronaldo and his rape accusations landing across town, or Romelu Lukaku giving Chelsea ...
2021 NFL Week 3 Betting Primer: Best Over/Under, Spread, Teaser and Prop Bets
Last week, we got the column out to a nice beginning with a glowing 3-1 start, the only loss being by one point (Bengals)....
Adam Gase always leaves winning in his wake
Adam Gase is known for two things: having crazy eyes and losing football games. The man fooled dozens of NFL teams into thinking he was capable of coaching an NFL team. He rode the success of Peyton Manning in Denver into not one, but two head coaching gigs. ...
Is Scotty Miller the key to a Bucs’ victory tomorrow?
Rams-Bucs is the biggest game of Week 3 of the NFL. On one hand, we have the reigning Super Bowl champion Buccaneers, and on the other lies arguably the most talented team in the NFC. These teams met last year in Week 11 of last season with the Rams taking the victory by a score of 27-24. Tom Brady ...
This weekend’s NFL slate is… what’s the word? HUGE
Week 3 of the NFL season is where we, as fans, normally start to realize which teams are for real and which teams are pretenders. While there are a few 2-0 teams that haven’t looked very impressive, Week 3 should give us a better understanding of where each stands in the current NFL landscape....
Davis Mills is destined to be the Texans’ franchise quarterback
Josh Allen, Baker Mayfield, Justin Herbert. What do all these guys have in common? Well, they’re all young. They’re all talented. They’re all franchise quarterbacks, and they all became franchise quarterbacks after having the reins handed over to them by Tyrod Taylor....
This is why AEW is king right now
Any wrestling fan could be excused for having their brains scrambled by the sight of Kenny Omega and Bryan Danielson staring at each other from across the ring before actually engaging. It was not something we’d ever conceived of actually happening, and even when we knew it was going to happen month...
CONCACAF just CONCACAF’d like never before
The most CONCACAF thing happened on Tuesday night, which is an enormous statement to make if you know anything about how CONCACAF works....
Roberto Luongo still hangs over the Canucks
While I do love the image of Roberto Luongo stalking the rafters in the Rogers Arena in a dark robe, perhaps slung over half his face (and Luongo himself might be tempted to actually act this out given the goofball he is) it’s not quite that simple. It’s not even totally the fault of either Luongo o...
New Liga MX-MLS Cup is way cool, and might set up more cool stuff (I said ‘might’… this <i>is</i> MLS after all)
If I were the cynical sort (perish the thought!), I might suggest that MLS realizes its main stream of income, expansion, might be drying up in the coming years. That’s if you go by the “MLS is a Ponzi scheme” theory, which one has to admit has some legs. Charlotte and St. Louis join the league in t...
The NBA needs to follow the WNBA’s lead on vaccination rates
As NBA training camps open next week, while most of the sports world is focused on college football and the NFL, the leading story around the league has centered on the drama in Philadelphia with Ben Simmons. However, there’s something else people should still be discussing — COVID-19....
Randy Moss hasn’t retired his mouth
During Randy Moss’ Hall of Fame career, he was known for running his mouth (too much sometimes) and backing it up on the field. Moss would raise his outside hand on go routes, signaling to his quarterback that he was open. Sometimes Moss would throw up the signal before he’d even run past the unluck...
Can we please get promotion/relegation in women’s soccer now?
The growth of women’s soccer in this country took another step forward with the announcement that the USL, which runs the second tier league on the men’s side, will form a second-tier women’s league in 2023, the USL Super League (are we seriously going with this term now? Whatever.)...
