MVP debates make my ass weary
I’ve come to the conclusion that a big part of being a member of the baseball media is just justifying your existence.

Chiefs get too cute, find themselves at 1-2
The Kansas City Chiefs are looking less mighty and more vulnerable just three games into the season.

Tua will be a bust, and not the kind that goes on display in Canton
Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is entering some dangerous territory early in his second NFL season.

Read 'em and weep: Here are the worst droughts in modern sports, non-title edition
The White Sox have won their first division title since 2008, which doesn’t really feel right, because they’ve only had two truly awful seasons in the last decade and a half, and power in the Central is rarely concentrated anywhere for too long, but it’s true. It would be a weird thing to lie about....
