Hurts so good, too bad his dumbass coach doesn’t see it
Even after trading Carson Wentz, Jalen Hurts still isn’t being treated like a franchise quarterback, despite the only other quarterback option on the Philadelphia Eagles’ roster being 36-year-old statuesque can-only-operate-from-the-pocket Joe Flacco. Apparently, new head coach Nick Sirianni isn’t n...

People apparently enjoy painful memories, as the twitterverse is currently talking about a lot of “what could have beens.” Waking up this morning, not quite fully caffeinated, I saw that Grady Sizemore was trending, and immediately questioned the entirety of the space-time continuum. A tweet was pos...

Jadeveon Clowney is a great pickup for the surprisingly jacked Cleveland Browns
Shockingly, the Cleveland Browns aren’t Brownsing things up right now. Signing veteran edge rusher (and I use that term loosely) Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal worth up to $10 million is the latest in a trend of impressive and savvy moves by the Browns front office. That is, um. Different....

Taking a look at QB-heavy draft classes, and why the best isn't always the guy who goes highest
In a quarterback league, this year’s NFL Draft looks like one of the most quarterback-rich talent pools in history.

Ty Buttrey’s heart wasn’t in it, so he walked away — and good for him
Optioned to the minors by the Angels last week, a few days before his 28th birthday, Ty Buttrey decided that he was done with baseball. He’d accomplished his goal to “prove to every motherf***** who didn’t believe in me and doubted my ability to become an MLB player, that I could do it.”...
