The Dallas Stars are about to embark on a trip to hell
We’ve had our way with the Dallas Stars this year. They’ve made it so easy.

You should probably prepare for a Patrick Kane MVP campaign again
As I’ve remarked a few times before, just because the shape and structure of the seasons have been so greatly altered hasn’t kept the favorites from reaching the top.

Didn't take long for Angel Hernandez to Angel Hernandez and show us all again why we need automatic strike zones
The return of spring training games is supposed to be some sign of hope. While it doesn’t signal the beginning of spring, it at least signals that spring will get here at some point.

NCAA Tournament or NIT: Where will Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas & Michigan State end up?

Idaho wins game with help from its farkakt stadium
You might think that three-time defending champion North Dakota State not only having its 39-game winning streak snapped, but getting blown out, at Southern Illinois, would be the craziest thing to happen on Saturday’s slate of FCS action, but that means you did not consider the Kibbie Dome, the uni...

U.S. Soccer nixes ban on anthem protests, and one guy's dissent exposes the hypocrisy of the right wing
U.S. Soccer has had a rule since 2017 that players must stand for the national anthem. As of Sunday, that rule is gone, allowing American players to do the most American of things: use their freedom of speech to express themselves by taking a knee if they so choose....
