Parade Pat returns, Travis Kelce shoots Fireball, and more from the Kansas City parade
The only time the internet gets joy over someone else’s happiness is when they’re drunk and making a fool of themselves.

It’s time for our yearly 'Don’t buy Carolina Hurricanes stock' column

The NBA asked us to watch basketball that made load management a priority
At least the NBA, unlike some of its sporting league counterparts, keeps its CBA negotiations mostly under wraps.

The red-zone tactic that won the Chiefs the Super Bowl
Down 10 at halftime, the Kansas City Chiefs did what they do best, mount a comeback to earn their second Super Bowl title in four years.

Here's what you need to know as the Champions League returns
It only feels like the Champions League is late in returning for its knockout stage, but this is the normal time of year.

And now for the NHL trade deadline, which is much more boring than the NBA's [Updated]

Shane Steichen is the latest white coordinator to get hired before Eric Bienemy

The Dead Zone: Is Jalen Hurts the key to an NFC dynasty or is there a surprise lurking around the corner?

Chris Berman's emancipation reference is why we need to teach more Black history
