The AFC North running backs are here
The NFC East gets a lot of media attention, mostly because the Dallas Cowboys are “America’s Team” or something, and rightly so.

Deadspin predicts every '1K' player for the 2022 NFL season, Part I: RBs
One thousand yards on the ground or through the air has long been a benchmark of success in the NFL. Having a 1,000-yard season under your belt makes any defense have to account for you when game-planning. Sure, there are some lesser-known players who had a career year or two surpassing 1,000 yards ...
No, not that Ryan Ellis

It’s a Dame shame
Sometimes, when you look out your window at the world around you, nature is the perfect expression of your emotions. It’s a weird feeling, but in some ways, it’s comforting. Sometimes it feels as though Mother Nature has heard your heart and responded in kind, as if to say, “I understand.”...
The NFL is trying to give Black people things they didn’t ask for – again
Close your eyes and imagine this scene....
Doug Pederson says Eagles ‘brought in Jalen Hurts not to undermine Carson Wentz’ — sure, Jan
Just because you think something is true, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s actually true. From the Mandela effect to the Philadelphia Experiment — and the Geto Boys — we have proof that our minds can play tricks on us....
This ain't no Dream Team
Alright, this is getting out of hand now. ...
Gregg Popovich’s entire tenure with Team USA has been a failure
Over the past 17 years, every time the United States men’s basketball national team has been terrible, Gregg Popovich has been on the sidelines. And that’s not an opinion, either. It’s a fact....
Olympic athletes who could protest in Tokyo
Protest is such a necessary form of progress in society. There is rarely any improvement in a culture without people making their voices heard. And, usually, the bigger the stage for these protests, the stronger the influence. ...
The Bucks bench is in a tough spot
Because the Milwaukee Bucks aren’t getting the necessary consistency from Giannis Antetokoumnpo’s co-stars, Khris Middleton and Jrue Holiday, their bench has been unfairly forced to overcompensate, and they haven’t....
There are a lot of draft prospects who should have immense impacts after returning to school
We’ve thought for a few years that the 2021 Draft would be one of the best of this era, and while that hasn’t changed, a number of withdrawals should make way for a promising 2022 class as well....
Don’t be surprised if Kevin Love is really good in the Olympics
Experience matters and Kevin Love has it....
Did we need 8K cameras for this?
I get that these 8K cameras are a fun, newish toy for TV producers to go to. We saw them come on the scene for the past NFL season after touchdowns. WWE has been a big fan of them as well. They certainly create cool looking shots at opportune moments when you’re trying to focus on one guy and make i...

The Suns have proven that they belong among the NBA’s elite. That argument is over....
What’s the deal with Kyle Kuzma?
I remember Kyle Kuzma’s rookie season. The Nets’ 27th pick of the 2017 NBA Draft (he was then dealt to the Lakers in the D’Angelo Russel trade) burst onto the scene averaging over 16 points per game with 45/37/71 splits. While he wasn’t being put in the same category as other rookies that year like ...

As politely as possible, what the hell is Patriots’ wide receiver N’Keal Harry doing?...
This was better than Jason Kidd?
It’s only Game 1, so maybe Mike Budenholzer is waiting to change how he does things as this series goes along. An NBA playoff series can be moves and countermoves as it goes longer, and you don’t want to give away everything in the beginning — so we have to allow for that. But we’ve seen Budenholzer...
