It's too soon to call San Francisco 49ers QB Trey Lance a bust
Before I get started, I want to make something clear. Trey Lance’s injury history is something that cannot be understated. He needs to stay healthy, and if he can’t, he shouldn’t be considered a franchise-caliber quarterback. This isn’t about his history of serious ouchies and boo-boos sidelining hi...
Vic Fangio's short Eagles stint may be new way NFL franchises get around the Rooney Rule
Super Bowl LVII was a thriller involving all the drama and storylines we’ve come to love about the NFL.

Jakobi Meyers is primed to be the next Christian Kirk
March 2022: The Los Angeles Rams were less than a month removed from their Super Bowl parade and NFL free agency was just underway.

Billie Jean King reminds us how far women's sports have come — even if the progress has been slow
Billie Jean King and Ilana Kloss both spoke at Seton Hall University last week. The discussion kept coming back to money — from the one dollar that started the WTA Tour back in 1970, to the $50 million to buy a National Women’s Soccer League team, to the ratings for live women’s sports that keep goi...

Two letters to the editor do not constitute outrage
Kill me if I’m ever so compelled to write into a publication — instead of just leaking that sludge onto social media — to tsk-tsk the Kansas City Chiefs for drinking during a fucking Super Bowl parade.
