Without Mo Salah, Liverpool could be screwed
I have nightmares that I’ll be seeing this in my sleep for the next decade:...
The Orioles should be stocking up for a World Series run, but opt to torture their fanbase instead
Baltimore Oriole fans looking to cleanse their palates of a bitter end to the team’s 101-win season will have to seek out a charcuterie board because the franchise’s big splash at the Winter Meetings is . . . Craig Kimbrel? ...
Arsenal are loading up
Little ammunition joke for ya there. Anyway, if the accusation, and thought was that Stan Kroenke regularly cheaped out when it came to strengthening Arsenal, this week might change all that. While Kroenke has had no problem finding success in the salary-capped worlds of the NFL, NBA, and NHL, with ...
The Toronto Maple Leafs are about to do something stupid
The rest of the employees of the Springfield Power Plant gathering around the control center of Sector 7-G, with Lenny narrating for everyone the normal practice, “Get ready everyone, he’s about to do something stupid…” is what the NHL is now, gathering around The Six and wondering just what the Tor...
Here come the Pens again, falling on our heads like a memory
The NHL season has been invigorated by some surprise teams and new blood announcing themselves as either contenders now or soon to be. The New Jersey Devils sit atop the Metropolitan by open lengths, redefining what the Devils mean as a whole with their obscene amounts of speed and skill. The Dallas...
Deshaun Watson is being sued for the 26th time
It’d been about a month since Cleveland Browns fans decided to mock the victims of Deshaun Watson’s alleged sexual misconduct before their home opener. And his 11-game suspension is about half over. But Watson is facing more trouble after another civil lawsuit was filed against against him Thursday...
How many women does it take to convince Deshaun Watson deniers?
How many will it take? The answer wasn’t 10. It wasn’t 20. We’re quickly approaching 30 — perhaps that will be the number of women coming forward with allegations of sexual misconduct about Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson that will finally get people to stop defending him or claiming that all of t...
Little Caesars and the NFL together, as they know what their customers want
There will be no more Craig Robinson and JuJu Smith-Schuster Super Bowl pizza commercials. Because the NFL feels the need to let the world know that they have an official sponsor for everything whether it be pizza, beer, or tablets that Tom Brady smashes into pieces....
Deshaun Watson made appointments with how many different massage therapists?
I don’t know about the rest of you, but one of my least favorite tasks is shopping around for goods and services. It’s one of the hard parts about moving to a new city. A person needs a grocery store, dry cleaner, hair stylist, mechanic, doctor, dentist, late night convenience store and more. All th...
It’s time for the yearly symposium on whether this is finally it for the Penguins
This is yet another distasteful side effect of the NHL’s salary cap. Fans and observers of a certain team, especially a successful one, have to start judging just how much sand is left in the hourglass. They have to weigh the age of the best players, salaries of those players, when contracts run out...
Jerry Jones dumps on son for yucks
I do appreciate that Jerry Jones will actually get in front of a microphone and talk to the people. It’s something that his brethren in NFL ownership refuse to do, and maybe if they did they would have the most valuable sports franchise in the entire world. Is Jones talking for the sake of transpare...
The Nets are so weird
And thus ends yet another attempt by the Brooklyn Nets to skip the line and crash into the NBA penthouse. Actually, “another Nets experiment” sounds a little more apt. Because the Nets, the Brooklyn version, have always felt like one....
This murky Deshaun Watson situation is about to get some clarity real soon
As questions about the NFL futures of a couple of star quarterbacks have been answered, the public will get a much better idea about Deshaun Watson’s future very soon. Last year, 22 women accused Watson of sexual misconduct, and 10 of them made criminal accusations. Some of the women who made the cr...
Why this Chicago Bulls moment matters
It wasn’t supposed to last this long. When Michael Jordan slightly pushed off Bryon Russell to square up for a 17-foot jump shot with 5.2 seconds left in 1998, the future was a giant question mark. The moment the shot clock expired, the rebuild began. Bulls fans knew the band was broken up. This wou...
There IS a way for Kyrie Irving to play home games, and the Nets would be wise to take advantage of it
What the Brooklyn Nets are doing is ridiculous. ...
Will Urban Meyer get a shot at redemption? Let's look at how other coaches bounced back after failing miserably
Urban Meyer is out as coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars after going 2-11 in his only partial season at the helm. While that’s 13 more games than Meyer ever should have coached in the NFL, and he leaves with a lower winning percentage in the league (.154) than Marty Mornhinweg (.156), it somehow does...
The only question for the Canadiens is what took so long?
So If you feel like you heard some faint swearing in the air, and it vaguely sounded French (though Quebecois only vaguely sound French), don’t worry, you weren’t alone....
Week 10 NFL Powerless Ranking: There's a new team at the bottom
We’re in the second half of the NFL season, and now we know who the contenders are and which teams we can write off as pretenders. We can talk about the contenders another time because this list is about the least fortunate teams in the league. So, let’s check out the worst of the worst from Week 10...
The Kyrie Liberation Army has arrived to take over Barclays Center
“Let Kyrie Play, let Kyrie play, let Kyrie play.”...
