Nepotism in college football hits a new low
Normally, when a football program has a competent coach who’s gone stale, the university will force out whichever coordinator is most responsible for the lack of success.

The best and most memorable Super Bowl ads of all time
Every year, people tune into the Super Bowl to watch the two best teams in the league give everything they have to win the game and hoist the Lombardi Trophy.

Travis Kelce says he would put his nuts on brother Jason's drumsticks

It appears that 'Crypto Bowl' was on the one and done plan
Did you enjoy last year’s crypto Super Bowl? If so, I have some bad news for you. Not as bad as if you received a portion of your salary in FTX cryptocurrency last year, but still a blow to those invested in the industry’s success.

Kyrie Irving got his wish, and the Dallas Mavericks became a much better offensive basketball team.

Can Cam Thomas take over for Kyrie Irving in Brooklyn?
One man’s trash being another man’s treasure has never meant more than it has in regard to Brooklyn Nets combo guard Cam Thomas.
