The NFL’s sole desire to get Taylor Swift in the Super Bowl? Money
So let me get this straight: The NFL is in bed with the left, Taylor Swift, President Joe Biden and Travis Kelce all in order to what? Improve Biden’s poll numbers and alienate a segment of its fanbase that’s been unwavering in its loyalty since Colin Kaepernick started kneeling in protest of police...

RIP Lil’ Baby Kay-Kay and the Greganator
With companies valuing IP over substance, it makes sense that Fox would demote Greg Olsen for Tom Brady, despite the former treating NFL fans to one of the best booths in the league, if not the best, for the past couple seasons.

It’s getting harder to classify Brock Purdy
Does anyone even know what type of quarterback Brock Purdy is? Is he the new Joe Flacco? Is he Big Ben redux? Tom Brady 2.0?

Yes, the Lions choked, but all is not lost in Detroit
This year’s NFC Championship Game is one the Detroit Lions and their fans will have nightmares about all offseason.

Nathan MacKinnon & the bra brigade; A requiem for the Bills; Todd Helton's magic act
Seeing a four-goal game is perhaps the rarest thing a hockey fan can witness in person. It’s not too far off from seeing a no-hitter. I’ve been going to hockey games for 364 years, and I’ve seen one.

The Bills played their role perfectly
Every great dynasty has its one foe that is there simply to be toppled and make that conquering force look all the more mighty. Michael Jordan had the New York Knicks. Tom Brady had Peyton Manning.
