Bob Iger isn’t only tone-deaf while speaking about the Hollywood strike

The internal changes at ESPN, dubbed as cost-cutting measures that included the layoffs of Suzy Kolber, Keyshawn Johnson, and many more, have been made perfectly clear. It’s only a way for those at the top to keep their pockets protected at whatever cost necessary. Disney owns 80 percent of ESPN and...

Bob Huggins says resignation void because it was penned on invalid stationery

Thank the lord for Bob Huggins. This week — MLB All-Star week — is usually bereft of general sports storylines, and also a warning shot that we’re about to enter Little League World Series territory, aka the most mind-numbing stretch on the sports calendar. So, that’s why I say thank god for Huggins...

The sports world takes sports betting more seriously than violence against women and racism — go figure

Greg Hardy got to play football again. Antonio Brown keeps hanging around. Donald Sterling and Robert Sarver made millions after selling their teams. The NCAA keeps making billions off the backs of unpaid teenage Black basketball players in March. Pete Rose still can’t get into the Hall of Fame — ma...

Tough luck Pittsburgh, no Beyoncé for you

A significant blow was delivered to the Pittsburgh economy on Wednesday. At summer’s end, Acrisure Stadium will have hosted only one of the biggest concert tours of the season. Taylor Swift performed there in front of a record crowd in June. Beyoncé was scheduled to take that stage in August but the...

I guess the visuals were the thing for NASCAR in Chicago

If you’re the city of Chicago, you can’t control the weather, though we’ve had a couple mayors who were definitely under the impression that they could. So a historic rainstorm on the day of Chicago’s NASCAR road race is just bad luck, unless you believe in the gods exacting justice of some sort....

The Leafs sign Ryan Reaves, solving a problem they don't have

At least the Toronto Maple Leafs never disappoint. At least anyone who isn’t a Maple Leafs fan, that is....

Nicholas Petit-Frere didn’t know he couldn’t place bets at work

Four more gambling-related suspensions were handed down to NFL players, the league announced Thursday. Isaiah Rodgers, Rashod Berry, Demetrius Taylor, and Nicholas Petit-Frere all received punishment for their actions, some harsher than others. ...

Now I can die peacefully as I’ve seen a Kenny Omega masterpiece live

Every sports fan has a checklist of things they have to see in person. These days it probably involves Shohei Ohtani. Maybe Connor McDavid turning some poor schmuck on a third pairing into unrecognizable goo (I saw him do it to Duncan Keith). LeBron in person maybe. The timeless ones are seeing a ga...

Davis Webb's first coaching job will be in the NFL

According to Sean Payton, and many others who have made football acquaintances with former Giants backup QB Davis Webb, he is a bookworm when it comes to the sport. Payton said that the 28-year-old Davis has a computer file with every game plan that he’s ever had since high school. He may turn out t...

Lionel Messi is the only person who can move tickets like Taylor Swift

This article is a veritable dream for those enslaved (or in love) with SEO-driven content. Taylor Swift and Lionel Messi in the same headline? If I could fold in the Los Angeles Lakers, New York Yankees, and Dallas Cowboys, I’d be up for a $10 Starbucks gift card. While I’m not ruling that out — I n...

Won't somebody please think of the NBA Finals?!

The next time someone fixes their lips to tell you how much they hate dynasties and the same teams winning all the time, please stop them before they begin spewing lies because they’re full of more crap than a Porta Potty. This Denver Nuggets-Miami Heat NBA Finals has already been one of the more di...

Taylor Swift moving on...to Austin Reaves?

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves played his way into a big bag of money during the team’s postseason run to the Western Conference Finals. Reaves became a full-time starter and a big-shot threat bailing the Lakers out in the playoffs on more than one occasion. Because of his play in the postse...

How much buffoonery will UEFA allow from scum like José Mourinho?

José Mourinho has always been an asshole. Fans of the beautiful game have known this for the better part of two decades after he jumped onto the scene and won the Premier League title with Chelsea in 2005. He’s also a damn good coach — no one will ever doubt that. His pedigree of employers would cha...

Barfstool rips off Sidetalk and spreads extra mayonnaise on it

I have no stake in the Boston vs New York rivalry. I think both lobster and chopped cheese sandwiches are delicious. I listen to both the Notorious B.I.G. and New Edition. I also find both places to be unnecessarily loud and obnoxious but I get it, neither one has enough space. All of that being sai...

Justin Jefferson among the 25 best NFL players under 25 years old

The NFL is stocked with young talent. The number of players who are still relatively fresh in the league, but who are also among the best players in their position is growing, and it’s only fair to take stock of those players by ranking the top 25 players under the age of 25. Only players who are un...

Aaron Rodgers' idea of the Garden State came from watching <i>Jersey Shore</i>

Aaron Rodgers’ idea of the Garden State prior to being traded to the New York Jets was gleaned through MTV’s Jersey Shore. The veteran QB called the trash reality hit “one of the greatest” shows, despite it being an embarrassment to us born-and-bred Jersey folk. (Hell, wasn’t half the cast from New ...

Patrick Mahomes isn't gonna weigh in on brother Jackson's legal troubles [Update]

New details in the battery case against Jackson Mahomes emerged May 15, as a new court document was released, per KCTV. Police were originally called to an Overland Park (Kan.) restaurant in late February after a man told them Jackson Mahomes, the TikTok dancing social media influencer and younger b...

Ja Morant keeps showing us who he is — believe him

If Ja Morant was a bank robber, he’d probably livestream it. If Ja Morant stole cars, he’d more than likely post pictures of them. And if Ja Morant was possibly obsessed with drinking and clubbing and had an addiction to brandishing guns, in all likelihood, he’d show us. Oh wait, that’s been happeni...

Patrick Mahomes has a Jackson Mahomes problem
