The NFL has the power to help fix our nation's gun problem
It’s time for the NFL to take a stand against gun violence after a week when this year’s Super Bowl was bookended by two shootings.

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.

Competition and the will to win aren’t passive traits...

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...
The 49ers not knowing overtime rules is so insanely unacceptable
It’s the day after the Super Bowl and time for a million overreactions to what we witnessed Sunday night. One piece of information that popped up following the 49ers Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs, is that some of San Francisco’s players were not aware of the different playoff overtime rules. While p...
Hat-trick Mahomes is the horror-movie monster the 49ers could not escape

If Mecole Hardman can turn his 2024 around, anyone can
If 2024 has not been the desired new year, new you you were hoping for, fret not and use Mecole Hardman as an example of how quickly life can change.

SB LVIII was the Special Teams Bowl

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...
Is Jimmy Garoppolo’s Super Bowl pick laced with sour grapes or is he just keeping it real?
Jimmy Garoppolo was an integral part of the San Francisco 49ers’ last run to the Super Bowl where they lost to the same Kansas City Chiefs team.

Kadarius Toney almost kept quiet; The truth about Bill Belichick's not being hired; Brett Favre with another really bad look
The Kansas City Chiefs allowed Kadarius Toney to board their charter flight to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl.

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?
