New Zealand was shut out, yet one of their players still recorded a hat trick
The U.S. Women’s National Team is celebrating victories on two fronts today. The first, and most important, victory concerns the $24 million the team settled for in their equal pay lawsuit against the U.S. Soccer Federation. That settlement was obviously a long time coming and well-deserved for a te...
There was no reason for Chris Paul to play in the ASG if winning a championship is truly his No. 1 priority
The Phoenix Suns have quietly dominated the Western Conference during the first half of the regular season, with Chris Paul leading the way. Although Paul may not be seen as the best player on this team, he is the biggest reason for the Suns’ seat at the head of the table in the west over the last s...
Oregon State went from Madness to sadness in a stunningly short amount of time
There’s no doubt as to the identity of college basketball’s worst Power Five Conference team. With an astounding 3-22 record, Oregon State is dreadful. It’s ugly on paper and things look even more shit-tastic when you take a deeper look at said fecal matter. OSU has one win over a high-level confere...
With the MLB trying so little to end the lockout, here are other things they could try less at, too
I’ve seen disgruntled NBA superstars dogging it because they want to be traded, try harder than the MLB has tried to end this lockout. All parties bear some of the onus over these extended, aggravating negotiations, but when given the choice between ripping the proverbial Man, or ripping the people ...

Juwan Howard suspended for rest of regular season [Updated]
A tough season for Juwan Howard got tougher on Sunday. Following Sunday’s 77-63 loss to Wisconsin, Howard and Wisconsin coach Greg Gard turned a post-game handshake line into a mosh pit of bruised egos. What began with Howard taking offense to Wisconsin calling a timeout up 15 in the final 15 second...
Where will these quarterbacks go?
I can’t remember an offseason that was filled with so much uncertainty for so many of the game’s elite signal-callers. It’s not just the big names, too. Several mid-tier starters and quarterbacks with Super Bowl experience are on the trade block, as well. With many of these teams looking to replace ...
LeBron just made Bronny James a made man
Nobody can blame LeBron James for looking to the future. The Lakers stood pat at the deadline despite looking more like a play-in team than a contender, and Anthony Davis is collecting worker’s comp checks after severely spraining his ankle in their final game before the All-Star break....
NBA All-Star Saturday Night was fun, but changes couldn’t hurt
NBA All-Star Saturday Night was a blast this year. While the events may not have been the most exciting individually, each one added something unique to the evening. The Cavs brought home the Skill challenge trophies with their inspiring teamwork; Karl-Anthony Towns represented the big men and becam...
It’s not Obi Toppin’s fault the ASG dunk contest was lame
Saturday night was not that. But it was fine. Obi Toppin won, deserved to win, and deserved better than having to answer for the shoddy performance of his competition....
Sedona Prince stays put at Oregon
Sedona Prince, the Oregon forward who last year used the power of social media to highlight the inadequacy of the NCAA’s setup for the women’s basketball tournament, announced on Saturday that she’s going to stay at Oregon next season and begin a masters program....
Style over substance: Ranking every USFL team based on their jerseys
If you’re like me, looking for anything football-related to fill the void that the end of the NFL season left in your soul, then you were probably jumping for joy when the USFL revealed their uniforms for their first season since 1985....
Not all Olympians are apoplectic over the Beijing Games
I tried. I tried to focus on the competitions and athletes at the Olympics instead of wallowing in the politics, conditions, and COVID of it all. No longer. I can’t take it anymore. The men’s skiing halfpipe final was more scary to watch than it was fun because gale-force winds (probably an exaggera...
Steelers hire Brian Flores
Brian Flores’ time in the NFL isn’t up yet. After suing the league for racial discrimination in a class action lawsuit earlier this month following his firing from the Miami Dolphins and an alleged sham interview with the New York Giants, Flores has been hired as the Pittsburgh Steelers’ senior defe...
CFP-staples Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, and Clemson rejoice!
Get ready for more of the gridiron rotation of Alabama, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Clemson and occasionally others. College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock announced Friday that the CFP will stay at its current four-team format through the end of the 2025, when its current 12-year contra...
No one is prepared for the Florida Panthers to be this good
Mason Marchment had his first career hat trick Friday night, leading the Florida Panthers to a 6-2 rout of the Minnesota Wild in a game that could be a Stanley Cup Final preview....
The best NBA Players to never make an All-Star appearance
The National Basketball Association has had some great players step onto the court in its 75-year history. Some outstanding players have been left off the All-Star team each season in the NBA. Many of these names get snubbed year after year, and others made their names off big moments but probably s...
Kamila Valieva was just a figurine in a Game among nations
What a farce the International Olympic Committee has made of the Games this year. By not installing real sanctions against Russia for institutionalizing a surreptitious doping program in Sochi, and by not barring an athlete who tested positive for a banned substance, we were witness to the oddest of...
