Bengals beguile broken Burrow by adding Thaddeus Moss
By now, we all know that the LSU football team in 2019 was absurdly good, right? It was arguably the best college offense ever assembled. Joe Burrow was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2020 draft, wide receiver Justin Jefferson was a first-round pick by Minnesota and dominated on his way to breaking t...

If Julian Edelman plays next year, you can probably guess where he’ll end up [UPDATE: HE RETIRED]
Update (5:48 p.m. Eastern): So, like, I saw this going differently in my head. Which is fine, it’s fine.

Marcus Smart passing Larry Bird on all-time Celts’ 3-pointer list is a wake-up call
It’s not a revelation that the NBA today is heavier on three-pointers than it’s ever been. Teams are taking more threes per game than ever before — 34.7 per game, per team, and with good reason: at 36.7 percent, this season’s success rate is the highest of all time....
Joe Musgrove makes history with San Diego's first no-hitter, so here's a no-no history lesson

The Dallas Mavericks are officially ‘in the mix,’ which is good enough in this crazy season
Part of your initiation as a young NBA nucleus is getting your ass whooped in the playoffs. But last season, the Dallas Mavericks were robbed of what could’ve been....
Drink in the Trevor Bauer tears
In some ways, it felt like MLB set up their new “inspection of baseballs” rules specifically for Trevor Bauer. He’s the one who openly bitched about the Houston Astros pitchers and their increased spin rate. He’s the one who demonstrated, in Houston, what foreign substances could do. He’s the one wh...
Filthy rich NFL owners aren’t <i>quite</i> as rich as other sports' fat cats, according to new list

Ted Cruz’s performative outrage over MLB is laughably disingenuous and toothless
Major League Baseball’s decision to move the All-Star Game out of (suburban) Atlanta as a response to Georgia’s racist voting law generated a response of its own from two of the Senate’s leading shitposting insurrectionists, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee: a threat to draft legislation to revoke baseball’s a...

Terrace Marshall Jr.’s family connection with Joe Delaney, the Chiefs running back who died a hero
LSU has been churning out wide receiver talent over the last couple seasons, none more notably than last year’s should-have-been Offensive Rookie of the Year and Vikings phenom Justin Jefferson. This year, the NFL, its scouting personnel, and everyone who gets paid to share their opinions are seemin...

SEE IT! HS punter picks up botched snap, ruins defenders, cruises for 55-yard TD
Yes, special teams players are people too. Except this one looks like he should be playing in the backfield.
