Josh Dobbs shined bright for Cleveland as he looks to lock up third QB slot
Now that Cleveland knows Deshaun Watson will miss the first 11 games of the regular season (stemming from 24 sexual misconduct civil cases), they’ll need to keep a third QB on the roster. With Jacoby Brissett already slated as the starter to begin the year, that leaves Joshua Dobbs and Josh Rosen to...

Are the Ravens actually holding Lamar Jackson back?
Lamar Jackson is one of the most dynamic players in the history of the NFL. He runs and moves like a race car, and has always been stronger than he’s given credit for — though he has put on some muscle this offseason. ...

How close were Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski to wearing silver and black?
In what feels like a never-ending nightmare, Las Vegas Raiders fans got some insight into what their team almost looked like during the 2020 season. During Saturday night’s UFC 278 PPV, Dana White joined the “Gronkcast” (Rob Gronkowski and family) and was coerced by Rob into telling the story of how...

Sad Diego: Padres underperforming and underwhelming post-deadline
On paper, the San Diego Padres got better at the trade deadline. In reality, they’ve gotten worse — and are very quickly becoming the laughingstock of the MLB....

Georgia high school football team caps quadruple OT win with crazy trick play
The game is on the line. It’s the fourth overtime in the season opener. To secure a victory, all Loganville High School needed was a touchdown. Representing a town of around 10,000 people about 45 minutes east of Atlanta, the Red Devils’ head coach called the bride’s bouquet toss....

The Bears have failed Justin Fields
When the Chicago Bears traded up to draft Justin Fields with the 11th overall pick two years ago, fans in the Windy City were ecstatic, believing that their savior had arrived. All the team needed to do now was mentor him up, give him some protection and weapons, and let him fly. With less than a mo...

Dana White upset because people paid attention to something he said
Typical Dana White. He gets asked a question, or is reminded of something that he doesn’t like, and he throws an adult temper tantrum. He yells, curses a mile a minute, and defiantly points his finger like Rafael Palmeiro in front of Congress. All to convince you that he is right because he is the U...

There are only two faces on this week’s Mount Rushmore of stupidity
Have you ever witnessed an argument so stupid you’d rather not pick a side? I’m sure parents with multiple kids know what I’m talking about, repeating “Leave me out of it” until they inevitably have to intervene because, you know, children. Still, nothing irks a parent like having to rule on who get...

Redditor, fantasy football analyst speculate Brady’s absence due to ‘Masked Singer’ taping
After his 40-day retirement this offseason, 45-year-old Tom Brady should be chomping at the bit to get training camp work in with his offensive line and receiving corps, right? Wrong. He’s been noticeably absent. He’s up to something and I don’t think it’s extra time with Gisele and the kids....

Not everyone listens when Tiger speaks
I’m just going to rip the duct tape off here because to put it delicately would lessen my point: Tiger Woods doesn’t have the moral high ground to tell anybody what to do. He has every authority in every other aspect of the LIV argument — 15 major wins, status in the game, still (kind of) playing, a...

Silence can be ear-splitting....

Ben Simmons handles 'heckler' while candy shopping
If you’re looking for Ben Simmons, you won’t find him on an NBA court, that’s for sure. If you’re lucky enough, you just might sneak up on him in a candy store rummaging through the selection. Comedian Gerald Huston walked up on Simmons and decided to give the NBA star a hard time calling him Russel...

It’s time for the Chargers to shine in Hollywood
The Los Angeles Chargers are officially in win-now mode after a big offseason that’s seemingly flown under the radar. LA made moves to bulk up their defense and spent big bucks to ensure they’ve at least got a shot at competing in the AFC over the next couple of years. But this two-to-three-year win...

No surrender in Calgary
One of the familiar tropes in the NHL is the “poor ol’ Canadian team.” Lord Stanley’s chalice hasn’t been parked north of the border in 29 years, and there must be a reason for it. After all, the first two Great Bettman Lockouts were somewhat based on the fact that Canadian teams couldn’t have their...

Browns owner thinks talent trumps alleged transgressions after Watson receives 'punishment' [Updated]
The NFL increased embattled Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson’s suspension to 11 games, a $5 million fine, and mandatory counseling on Thursday, per multiple reports, settling his personal conduct case. The league didn’t wait on former New Jersey attorney general Peter Harvey’s decisio...

Terrelle Pryor must be pissed a Mississippi State football player inked a NIL deal with a tattoo artist
Some of us are old enough to remember when getting free tattoos made you the scapegoat of your athletic program. That now means we’re old enough to see that college athletes are getting free tattoos as part of their NIL deals....
