MLB, please don’t reinstate Trevor Bauer anytime soon [Updated]
Trevor Bauer is going to be reinstated by Major League Baseball at some point. We might as well accept it from the outset. We don’t know when the reinstatement will come. Earlier this week, MLB extended Bauer’s administrative leave through April 22....

“We have never covered up things around here. We just didn’t have problems.”...

Evan Mobley has been great all season, but he’s been outplayed by Scottie Barnes for Rookie of the Year
The NBA Rookie of the Year vote has gotten even more complicated. Yesterday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that Evan Mobley sprained his left ankle and is out for the next three games. This comes at an especially difficult time for the Cleveland Cavaliers, who have lost four of their last five ...
Three teams that could be next in line to improve drastically in a short amount of time like the Memphis Grizzlies
In the NBA, teams with stars and veteran leadership usually make waves in the postseason and win championships. It’s rare to see a team of young inexperienced players going deep in the postseason, no matter how talented they are. Of course, there are outliers to everything....
Coed sports can be a thing
For all the energy devoted to the Lia Thomas story, you’d think there was an army of transitioning athletes looking to snatch Division I titles from the women who rightfully won them. Laws have been written, passed, vetoed and passed again to prevent people assigned one sex at birth from competing w...
Mavs again find themselves embroiled in sexual misconduct allegations
It would be nice if sports leagues were proactive on issues with workplace culture and harassment. Instead of waiting around for formal charges to be filed, public outrage to grow so loud that it can’t be ignored, or a Baxter Holmes bombshell, commissioners should follow up on every rumor of sexual ...
Don’t discuss Lia Thomas without mentioning how Caster Semenya was treated
Labeling Lia Thomas as a lightning rod is an understatement....
The Cavs have again swept up the ashes left by LeBron’s departure, and built something impressive
They did it again, damn it. The Cleveland Cavaliers have somehow avoided the hellish purgatory typically levied against small-market teams in between superstar stints. The first time LeBron James left, after an initial seven-year stretch with Cleveland, it only took four seasons and four top-four Lo...
Spiders, Wolverines and … Peacocks, oh My!
Ah, March. Some might call it a month, but those of us who celebrate know it’s a state of mind. And after yesterday, March is unequivocally here....
Darius Garland is on one right now, so climb aboard the bandwagon before it fills up
I’m going to start this by listing off a bunch of reasons why Darius Garland has been overlooked this season, not explain them, and then give you a bunch of his highlight reels because this piece is about Garland. ...
Grambling replaces disgraced Art Briles with another problematic coach, because Hue Jackson
Happy International Women’s Day!...
With Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson off the market, Jameis Winston could get another chance
So, Aaron Rodgers duped us all into thinking he was done with Green Bay. Four years, $200 million (supposedly), and one fewer team questioning their future at the quarterback position. Denver has their whole situation figured out as well I guess. Russell Wilson? That’s a big get for a team in a divi...
A breakdown of everything wrong with Hue Jackson’s statement defending his hiring of Art Briles
You know you shouldn’t have hired someone if you have to release a statement days after you hired them to explain why you hired them....
If Hue Jackson cared about HBCUs, he wouldn’t have hired Art Briles
Deion Sanders banned a Black reporter from covering his program. Eddie George had to be convinced by a white man to take a job at a Historically Black College and University. And now Hue Jackson — a man with an 11-44 record as an NFL head coach — has hired Art Briles, an alleged serial rape enabler,...
Grambling State hires disgraced Art Briles as coordinator

What it means when prosecutors decline to charge sexual assault
I have a love/hate relationship with Olivia Benson and the ubiquitous Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (SVU to those of us who have it on the background at least 65 percent of the time). On one hand, it’s copaganda of the highest order, where police are nearly always the good guys, and one cop in p...
GOP feels nothing for women who worked for Dan Snyder
The House Committee on Oversight and Reform hosted a roundtable hearing today regarding the ongoing sexual harassment and sexist culture at the Washington Commanders (formerly the Washington Football Team, and before that, a racist slur), organization under the leadership of owner Dan Snyder. Five w...
Sadly, the $490M settlement Michigan made with 1,000-plus sexual assault survivors hasn’t been a bigger story
A sin is a sin. Well, that’s what I thought. But, apparently, that doesn’t always seem to be the case when men are the victims of sexual assault....
