Jordan Travis' injury did play a role in FSU's CFP snub
We didn’t believe that Florida State was worthy of the college football playoffs without starting quarterback Jordan Travis — and it appears the CFP committee also agreed with that sentiment....
Kadarius Toney is still out here blaming the refs
The Kansas City Chiefs have lost three of their last four games – including two straight — and sit just a game ahead of the resurgent Denver Broncos atop the AFC West. While there is certainly plenty of blame to go around for the team’s struggles, Kadarius Toney remains at the center of all of it....
This week in sports: Patrick Mahomes' WR is a moron; Rick DeSantis does Rick DeSantis; Man United do themselves in
While it’s hard to resist the temptation to point out noticing when a team that has Matt Nagy anywhere near it is melting down, because I know it oh, so well, the Kansas City Chiefs have bigger problems than that. When everyone is blaming the refs over a totally correct call, it’s pretty obvious the...
This week in football: Chiefs' act is getting so old; No Supe for Al Michaels; Tommy DeVito's stupid situation with the Giants
Full disclosure, I’ve never been on board with the Kansas City Chiefs. Sure, they were, for a while, the best team in America, with a young and exciting generational talent under center and a head coach who never had to answer for anything because he wears Hawaiian shirts, has a funny mustache, and ...

Can we please find a way to fire Dean Spanos, too?

After getting mauled by the Bucks, the Pacers found a veteran enforcer
Unsigned NBA wing James Johnson emerges from a cabin carrying a log. Meanwhile, on a television screen behind him, highlights of Giannis Antetokounpo hulking out on the sidelines and in the players’ tunnel repeats in a loop. ...
Outlawing the 'hip-drop' tackle next season is going to wildly change the NFL. And not for the better
Tackling another human being is not easy. A good little-league coach teaches a step-by-step approach of facemask up, chest-to-chest contact, wrap, grab cloth, and drive. However, a live ball carrier does not stand still. In order to tackle fully equipped ball carriers who sprint, slide, spin and sha...
Cam Newton doesn't understand what 'game manager' actually means
Cam Newton has earned the right to stake his claim for the Content Clickbait King throne. He was a former MVP, Heisman Trophy winner, national champion and Super Bowl competitor. Newton recently caught a wave of backlash for classifying Brock Purdy, Dak Prescott, Jared Goff and Tua Tagovailoa as gam...

Travis Kelce is a lot of things. Washed up is not one of them

The Bucks-Pacers rivalry is now spectacular. Thank you, NBA's In-Season Tournament
The NBA’s inaugural In-Season Tournament has been worth it for all involved. For the Los Angeles Lakers, many men who could use a $500,000 direct deposit got it. Tyrese Haliburton emerged from the tourney as the newest NBA superstar. Also, a real inter-division rivalry is budding. The Indiana Pacers...
It took more than a quarter of the NBA season, but it looks like Phoenix's Big 3 will finally suit up together
There was a lot of excitement surrounding what was supposed to be the debut of the new Phoenix Suns “Big Three” of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal. TNT’s Reggie Miller was so geared up for it that he had to be notified live on air that Durant had been ruled out of the Suns’ matchup again...
The USWNT was the most harassed group in sports in 2023, and this, sadly, should surprise no one
On Monday, I wrote a column about being sick of the Kansas City Chiefs. As far as the things I write go, it was fairly light-hearted. No one was accused of anything heinous, it was mostly me whining about Patrick Mahomes throwing a fit at the end of Sunday’s game and how it’s impossible to avoid Tra...
