Caitlin Clark wasn't the only women's basketball player making history last night
Caitlin Clark wasn’t the only person who broke women’s basketball records last night. The Iowa Hawkeyes star scored 49 points as she overtook the record for most points in NCAA women’s basketball history. But another record fell, too....
What does it say about America that random NFL games dominate the most-watched TV list?
The sports world was reminded of two important things over the last few months. One, Taylor Swift’s presence is a game-changer. Two, the people who once claimed they’d never watch the NFL again because Black players kneeled, are bonafide liars....

Here are some of the athletes who could never get away with what Travis Kelce did to Andy Reid at the Super Bowl
Sports evict emotions, it’s why we love them. And if you’ve ever been on a team, like a real team that was actually good and won something of importance, you understand that things can get heated in the huddle, in the locker room, or at practice. Competition and the will to win aren’t passive traits...
The Super Bowl has become a great concert that features a football game
Usher, Beyonce, Jay-Z, Taylor Swift, Ice Spice, Post Malone, Andra Day, Reba McEntire, Alicia Keys, H.E.R., Lil Jon, Ludacris, Jermaine Dupri, and will.i.am all performed or were at the same party on a Sunday night in Las Vegas. Super Bowl LVIII was part football game, part music festival. And over ...
Looks like Taylor Swift didn't ruin the NFL after all
Maybe talk of the decline of the NFL at the hands of Taylor Swift and the Deep State was premature. CBS announced Monday that their Super Bowl LVIII broadcast drew 123.4 million average viewers across all platforms. The broadcast metrics included audiences that watched on CBS, Paramount+, Nickelodeo...
Patrick Mahomes has made Kansas City the NFL’s pop culture hub
The league’s preeminent dynasties of the past 60 years have typically been stationed in major metropolitan areas consisting of Dallas, San Francisco, Washington, Miami, Boston, as well as the six states that represent New England. Pittsburgh’s run in the 1970’s was the rare exception. ...
Forget Nantz and Romo, give us SpongeBob and Patrick in the booth every week
If yesterday’s Super Bowl LVIII extravaganza — from the pregame to the broadcast to the game itself — left you a little cold, you were definitely watching the wrong broadcast. Sure, nothing changes the fact that the entire game consisted largely of trading field goals and then ended exactly how we k...
Hat-trick Mahomes is the horror-movie monster the 49ers could not escape
Patrick Mahomes’ third Super Bowl came to fruition in conditions most competitors would crumple in. Hat-trick Mahomes earned the nickname with his third championship before 30 came at the tail end of his worst statistical season since he was a freshman at Texas Tech. ...
SB LVIII was the Special Teams Bowl
Because of Tik-Tok, Patrick Mahomes’ game-winning drive may be what history remembers most about Super Bowl LVIII. But special teams and the role that kickers played on Sunday night in Las Vegas were the real story. It’s called FOOTball for a reason....
Not even the Deep State could keep the Super Bowl down
Despite being exposed as a deep-state psy-ops campaign, the Super Bowl still managed to retain its status as an unofficial American holiday....
Young artists should study Usher’s Super Bowl performance
I was a little nervous at the start of the Usher performance. The field at Super Bowl LVII had been criticized, and the one at this year’s game took out Dre Greenlaw in the first half while he was simply trying to run out onto the field. Fortunately, Usher’s lower extremities held up as he glided ac...
So what <i>were</i> Roger Goodell and Taylor Swift talking about during SB pregame?
Just when you think we are almost out of the conspiratorial business, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell sucks us back in. To large swaths of Americans stuck in the NFL’s orbit, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are the NFL’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith, merely existing as a partnership to do to the NFL’s bidding in...
Everything you missed before and during the Super Bowl
If you didn’t tune in to the Big Game until after the action started on the field, have no fear. All you missed was one of the worst pre-game shows in the history of television, laden with so much craven advertising that the Puppy Bowl looked like it was on PBS by comparison. We had a bizarre Sunday...
Deadspin predicts the Super Bowl LVIII winner
A Detroit Lions-Baltimore Ravens Super Bowl was the matchup with all the storylines and drama. Instead, we’re getting a rematch of Super Bowl LIV. This is the third Super Bowl the Chiefs have been in since that game. And this season we’ve been inundated with Taylor Swift-Travis Kelce coverage — and ...
SB LVIII even too expensive for the rich; A Swifties guide to the game; Poor Mama Kelce; What's Brock Purdy have to do with Lee Harvey Oswald?
Unfettered capitalism is putting some restraints on the top one percent enjoying one of its biggest parties of the year. With the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, luxury suites have reached the highest of high-roller prices. These seven-figure suites are out of the price range for even some of the biggest s...
Late-stage capitalism has made the Super Bowl too expensive even for the millionaires
Unfettered capitalism is putting some restraints on the top one percent enjoying one of its biggest parties of the year. With the Super Bowl in Las Vegas, luxury suites have reached the highest of high-roller prices. These seven-figure suites are out of the price range for even some of the biggest s...
Life comes at you fast, Mama Kelce
The run-up to this year’s Super Bowl has been bereft of a few notable storylines. There’s barely any talk about X’s and O’s, only a little prognosticating on Patrick Mahomes’ legacy, and almost zero chatter about the most famous non-football participant from last year’s Big Game: Donna Kelce. ...
The non-Mahomes, Purdy players to watch in Super Bowl LVIII
You know the big names of this Super Bowl matchup already. There’s no need to talk about Patrick Mahomes and Brock Purdy anymore, treating a 53-on-53-man matchup like it’s a one-on-one boxing match. We’ve gotten enough coverage of the Travis Kelces and the Christian McCaffreys of this game. ...
The Swifties Guide to Super Bowl LVIII
With the Super Bowl getting closer, one of the biggest storylines is not about the teams or the players, but about Taylor Swift and her presence at the games. Some people hate seeing her there — namely conservatives — and think she is ruining football, while others are watching football for the firs...
