What <i>are</i> the Yankees now?
I suppose one of the things that makes me feel old, one of the many things, is how I would perceive the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry versus someone who is 30 or under. I lived long enough in the era of the Yankees pissing all over the Sox to still have some base inkling toward that whenever these two lin...
The Eli Manning takeover of all media is underway and I’m here for it
In case you hadn’t heard the news, Eli Manning has a new show. Yes, the future Hall of Famer (?) and former New York Giants quarterback is hosting his own show. No, not the one with older brother Peyton on Monday nights. I’m talking about a brand new show on the Giants YouTube channel. The Eli Manni...
Don’t let Urban Meyer quit – fire him
The Jacksonville Jaguars are a mess because Shad Khan is a mess. The NFL’s lone owner of color that once donated $1 million to Donald Trump and then dared to write an essay on racial and social justice, spent Tuesday morning crafting a statement about the embarrassing and comical mishaps of his 0-4 ...
John Harbaugh should be ashamed of himself
It’s a Trash Talking Tuesday on Deadspin, and today, I’m trashing Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh....
Chucky got lost
The Las Vegas Raiders got rocked by the L.A. Chargers, 28-14 on Monday Night Football, but it was outside factors surrounding the game that got a lot of attention as well. If you ask Raiders head coach Jon Gruden, the weather delay that pushed the opening kickoff back by 35 minutes and the maze-like...

A few MLB postseason storylines you might not know
As the baseball playoffs begin, you already know the big storylines....
The last playoffs
A few years ago, I was in a bar and got into an argument with a semi-regular (who I didn’t much care for) about which sport has the best postseason. He was a real #PleaseLikeMySport hockey fan, and I had felt (and still do) that the MLB playoffs had surpassed the NHL playoffs as the most enjoyable. ...
Daniel Jones inches his way up to decent
Daniel Jones hasn’t been horrible this season, but he hasn’t been great either. He’ll show New York Giants fans flashes but has struggled to pair consistency with winning so far....
Week 4 NFL Powerless Rankings: Jacksonville is not good
The 2021 NFL season is starting to pick up and we’re finally starting to get a clear picture of which teams are about that action and which teams are not. We can talk another day about the teams that are actually for real. This is about the teams that are not....
Taylor Heinicke kinda looks like a young Tony Romo
Taylor Heinicke will make it hard for the Washington Football team to hand the starting position back over to Ryan Fitzpatrick once he’s ready to return from a hip injury. Heinicke leading Washington to a come-from-behind win over the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday was reminiscent of former Dallas Cowboy...
The fastest quarterback to win 100 regular-season games is Black — his name is Russell Wilson
Sunday was a huge day for Russell Wilson. His team, the Seattle Seahawks, knocked off the 49ers on the road, 28-21, avoiding the distinction of worst record in the highly contested NFC West. Wilson’s name, meanwhile, was solidified in the record books in a way once thought impossible for a man who l...
Kyler Murray and Cardinals give Rams a two-piece spicy combo in L.A.
Kyler Murray and the Arizona Cardinals are for real. They showed it to us in Week 1 when they smacked up the Tennessee Titans. Now they’ve done the same thing to the Rams, who were coming off a dominant performance against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers a week ago....
Cowboys make Panthers look like a hairless cat, Steelers offense stale as communion crackers, God makes miracle happen as Jets and Giants win on same day

Chargers need a statement win over Raiders on Monday Night Football
When the undefeated Las Vegas Raiders battle the Los Angeles Chargers in the Week 4 edition of Monday Night Football, the latter can make a massive statement by nabbing consecutive wins in a tough AFC West. After beating the Chiefs in Kansas City last week, you could argue that the Chargers would be...
Andrew Wiggins comes to his senses
Golden State Warriors’ forward Andrew Wiggins is finally vaccinated. ...
These Bengals might be for real
The Cincinnati Bengals aren’t that bad. OK, they’ve been pretty good through the first month of the season, and I don’t think anyone outside of Cincy saw this kind of start on the horizon. A 3-1 start to the season, a road division victory over the floundering Steelers in Pittsburgh, and sole posses...
