Mullett Arena is somehow dumber than you’d imagine something called Mullett Arena could be

I’m one of many hockey observers that Coyotes fans, whoever they may be, claim to have an agenda at all times against the Yotes. And on some level, it’s fair, because it is hypocritical to talk often at length about the place teams have for fans in their lives and the public trust that they really a...

It’s time for the sports world to fight back against antisemitism

Blurting out disgusting and derogatory things about Judaism and Jewish people is a repeated pattern for Ye, not one prejudiced comment swept under the rug by a press release talking about how wrong he was and how much learning he...

Ten players that teams in the 'Lose-O-Rama for Wembanyama' should ship

After the matchup between Victor Wembanyama’s Metropolitans and Scoot Henderson’s G League Ignite teams earlier this month, where the projected No. 1 and No. 2 picks faced off in must-see-TV, half the NBA should have shifted into full-on tank mode.

Stop praising NFL coaches for adopting college football tactics

The NFL finally trying college offenses and mobile QBs after snubbing its nose at them for decades is like praising your child for going diaper-free at 25 years old. Not only was it long overdue, but the negligence is concerning. All of these NFL writers love to tout the innovation from this new gen...

NFL refs have got to be smarter about breaking rulebook they enforce [Update]

Before they ever officiate a professional game, NFL officials have the league’s nearly 300-page rulebook drilled into their hippocampus. Which is why we know the two officials captured on video appearing to collect an autograph from Tampa Bay Bucs receiver Mike Evans had to have known better....

You mean the guy from West Sh*tkicker University wasn’t the answer?

There is no getting it back from the Patriots or their fans.

Such has been their track record. The battle is lost, so you...

Jerry Jones is a salesman and says whatever is needed at any given time.

Despite getting handled by the Chiefs, the 49ers have the formula to be the most dangerous team in the NFC

Don’t be fooled by the 49ers’ Week 7, 44-23 loss to the Chiefs. San Francisco is good, and they’re only going to get better as the season moves along. Kansas City has rolled over many teams similarly during Patrick Mahomes’ tenure. Remember, there isn’t a Chiefs equivalent in the NFC. The Niners pos...
