Deion Sanders’ attempt to become a savior for HBCU football was always gonna fail because of his ego
There’s no “i” in team, but there’s one in Deion. It’s smack dab in the middle of the name. And that makes so much sense after you remember that Deion Sanders loves to make everything about himself. It’s never about “us” or “we,” because to him, that “i” is all that matters....
Yeah, that Tony La Russa thing is going about as you’d expect
While it was fun to pretend that the forced “Odd Coupling” of a drunk old codger Tony La Russa and one of the flashiest, dynamic young teams in baseball would boil over simply due to culture clashes, that was always a touch unlikely.

Northwestern doesn’t take women seriously

Surprises, smiles, and shiny shoes: An NFL Draft Round One recap
Night one was super fun. I’m so glad that we’re done speculating about where all the top prospects are going to go, and now can begin looking at actual fit and actual expectations. I was sitting at home looking like Joe Rogan in response to George Masvidal’s flying knee. There’s plenty to break down...

Jed York sets himself up to dodge blame if 49ers draft goes sideways

Who is the next QB of the 49ers? Could be Aaron Rodgers
Of course the San Francisco 49ers and their effing No. 3 overall pick, of which has been essentially the bane of my existence while simultaneously occupying far too much of my headspace for the last three weeks, are at the center of the biggest potential drama just hours ahead of the draft. Aaron Ro...

Padres and Dodgers are baseball in 2021
It’s something of a surprise that as anticipated as the season series between the Padres and Dodgers was before the season started, the seven games they’ve played have managed to outweigh that anticipation. They’ve lived up to the billing and so much more. Whatever baseball’s problems are on the fie...
