It’s Georgia’s schedule vs. the field this college football season

It’s abnormally weird for the University of Georgia to be odds-on national title favorites. I’m not saying Kirby Smart’s group is unworthy — they won the past two College Football Playoffs, and appear to be every bit the juggernaut Vegas thinks they are. It simply takes a beat for perception to catc...

Mac Jones operating without a net in New England

For the second consecutive season, the New England Patriots are taking an unconventional approach to their quarterback room. A year after letting Matt Patricia and Joe Judge do some on-the-job learning as co-offensive coordinators, the team cut backup quarterbacks Bailey Zappe and Malik Cunningham. ...

Like him or not, Jim Harbaugh is doing the right thing

Sherrone Moore is weeks away from getting his shot — which is all an assistant coach can ask for....

HBO's 'BS High' doc is somehow more truthful than 'Swamp Kings'

I normally have a firm policy against critiquing any work that I have not entirely consumed. That is an edict that I was almost completely comfortable breaking away from as soon as I saw the trailer for Netflix’s Swamp Kings. Everything in it suggests a somewhat compelling watch, except for the firs...

Nathan Peterman makes Bears roster after all as white mediocrity remains undefeated [Updated]

Update Aug. 31: After cutting Nathan Peterman in favor of undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent out of DII Shepherd University, the Chicago Bears have added the former to the 53-man roster. Both will serve as backups to Justin Fields....

Eli Manning's worst moment from his rookie season

The Jacksonville Jaguars have to take a knee to remind America and Jay-Z that we haven’t ‘moved past kneeling’

We’re about to find out a lot about the Black players and coaches who are employed by the Jacksonville Jaguars....

Predicting the AEW All In London card

All Elite Wrestling’s first show in the United Kingdom was supposed to be in July 2020. Due to obvious reasons, that didn’t happen. It took three years for AEW to finally run a show in England, but what a way for them to make a debut, with one of the largest crowds in professional wrestling history ...

Indianapolis Colts still trying to find themselves 4 years after Andrew Luck's retirement

Once upon a time, Andrew Luck was on his way to a Hall of Fame career as quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts. Then he up and retired out of nowhere, walking away from the game forever. Today marks four years since Luck called it quits on a career with much more to offer. He dealt with a myriad of ...

The San Francisco 49ers are too injury-prone to trade Trey Lance

The reactionary nature of the sports media has foisted Trey Lance on the trading block after the third overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft fell to the third spot on the San Francisco 49ers QB depth chart. Losing any quarterback competition to Sam Darnold is perilous for your career — especially if it...

Jerry Jones thinks Sam Williams arrest on weapons, substance and speeding charges is sign of 'maturing'

While half of America’s electorate swoons over a reprobate ex-president, a man who was once nicknamed “America’s Mayor,” and his loyalists’ mugshots, America’s Team has embraced the same recidivism in a desperate bid to halt the Cowboys’ 30-year Super Bowl drought. Jerry Jones’ response following Da...

Trey Lance ends up behind Mr. Irrelevant, Jets draft bust on 49ers depth chart

Kyle Shanahan has been watching Trey Lance practice for three years. He knows a great deal more about the young man than I ever will. If Shanahan is willing to write off the loss of first-round draft picks in 2022 and 2023, and be done with Lance on the San Francisco 49ers, he must certainly have a ...

Mekhi Becton and Duane Brown are ready for action, and if the Jets want a title they had better stay that way

The New York Jets offensive line is beginning to take shape. They’re play has been so porous this summer that not even the Hard Knocks producers could gloss over it. Finally, reinforcements are on the way, specifically at offensive tackle. Duane Brown has been activated off of the PUP list, and Mekh...

Sharpe made the announcement via social media Wednesday morning that he’s entered a partnership with Colin Cowherd and The Volume to bring his podcast, “Club Shay Shay,” to the network. So, now we’ve got Sharpe and Draym...

Baker Mayfield’s whiteness keeps getting him NFL starting QB jobs

Baker Mayfield didn’t do anything wrong. The crime that keeps getting committed is done by the owners, general managers, and coaches who keep giving him endless opportunities. If Mayfield can keep being named a starter in the NFL, then Nathan Peterman will always have a shot at being on a team’s pay...

If Michigan's Jim Harbaugh gambit works, it will be a horrible look for the NCAA

Michigan football won’t have Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines for its first three games of the season, and it’s only trio of nonconference contests of the year before a possible bowl game. Yawn. Like it’ll matter. It’s part of the school’s self-imposed penalty for Harbaugh’s alleged recruiting violatio...

The Kelce family fight club is now in full swing

Jason Kelce and Travis Kelce were such heartwarming stories during the Super Bowl. Their mom baked them cookies and presented the delectable desserts to them on opening night. The two host a podcast together, and in one episode they both cried when discussing Mama Kelce’s star turn during Super Bowl...

Cris Collinsworth says NBC would broadcast ‘17 Dallas Cowboys games’ if possible

The Dallas Cowboys are the most polarizing team in the NFL and possibly North America. How else would you explain the fascination with their brand? It doesn’t matter that they haven’t even made it to the final four of the NFL postseason in nearly 30 years. NBC Sunday Night Football analyst Cris Coli...

When did the New York Knicks become a franchise worth stealing ideas from?

Is the NBA truly a copycat league? And if so, what would the Toronto Raptors want with New York Knicks intel?...

Indianapolis Colts putting on a clinic on how not to develop a rookie QB

The quote that keeps coming to mind every time a piece of news comes out of Indianapolis Colts camp is from Javier Bardem in Skyfall: “What is this if not betrayal? She sent you after me knowing you are not ready, knowing you will likely die. Mommy was very bad.” Anthony Richardson in this case in J...
