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...
Read the room, USA Hockey
As you may have heard after considerable wailing from players and at least the Canadian fanbase who need anything to feel good about themselves these days, the NHL has finally reinstituted an international calendar for not only the Olympics but eventually a World Cup the next few years. The latter w...
NFL players have had it with artificial turf and you can’t blame them

Keeping track of all the NBA trades before the deadline ends
The NBA Trade Deadline is officially upon us. While the deadline may not be as exciting as years past with big stars going on the move, it’s a deadline that’s as important as any in recent memory. Both conferences are up for grabs, with no real contender running away with it. Can someone make a move...
Rick Pitino wants a player salary cap. Funny how coaches never want <i>their</i> earnings limited
The idea that you should stay out of someone else’s pocket is a pretty standard societal norm — except when it comes to college athletes. Apparently, everybody gets a say in what they deserve in the NIL era. Usually, coaches are the loudest ones, like Rick Pitino....
Ex-NBA big man's heart transplant a success
Updated Feb. 17: Scot Pollard received a donor heart and the transplant was a success, according to his wife Dawn....
Patrick Mahomes is making a run at Tom Brady's legacy of excellence
Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes are the alpha and omega of NFL supremacy at the NFL’s most important position. With every passing season, Mahomes creeps closer and closer to Brady’s legacy of excellence. There’s only so much Mahomes can do in one Super Bowl though. ...
San Francisco 49ers have a health advantage over the Chiefs in the Super Bowl
Even with the bye week, there is no way that San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs are at their healthiest going into Super Bowl LVIII. They have been popping pads against the rest of the NFL for 19-20 weeks. Extensive treatment and rehab will be necessary to get those bodies back to optimum he...
An ode to Devin Hester, one of the few things about the Bears you can't mock
I have to sit here throughout the football season, and now even a month afterwards, and read all the other jackasses on this staff say stuff about the Bears. None of them are from here, most of it’s wrong, and even if it’s correct what gives them the right? Everyone’s got a goddamn thought and none ...
Dan Marino believes the Dolphins have their Super Bowl QB
Dan Marino is probably the biggest star in Miami Dolphins history. He reached rock star level in the 1980s and 1990s as quarterback for Miami despite never winning the big one. So, when Marino talks, fans usually listen, especially those located near South Beach. Marino joined Adam Schein on Sirius ...

Diversity in hiring is working for the 49ers, and other NFL teams don't like it
The rules in the NFL apply to all 32 teams. The compensatory draft pick rules are not exclusive to the San Francisco 49ers. They have received extra selections because they assembled a staff and front office that is not exclusively white men. ...
The 2024 NBA trade deadline is DOA
Please for the love of God stop reading this. The 2024 deadline has absolutely no pulse. Do not confuse the volume of trades made with value. I repeat. Do not confuse the volume of trades made with value. This is the Al Capone’s vault of trade deadlines. Instead of Woj Bombs, Adrian Wojnarowski is d...
If Chicago can’t exploit Washington’s obvious desire for Caleb Williams, somebody needs to be fired
There are enough patsies in need of a quarterback that Chicago Bears GM Ryan Poles would be foolish to not take the many godfather offers that will come his way before the NFL Draft on April 25. Chief among them are the Washington Commanders, who have a new owner, new GM and new coach desperately tr...
There are no more excuses for Justin Herbert
The AFC West got a little more interesting a couple of weeks ago when the Los Angeles Chargers added Jim Harbaugh to the fold, replacing Brandon Staley as head coach. That’s not just from a personality standpoint: The Chargers are expected to look much different on the field, especially on offense, ...
People think Brock Purdy looks like JFK assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. They are kinda right
There are athletes with celebrity doppelgangers. Detroit Lions QB Jared Goff bears a resemblance to actor Ryan Gossling. Former Super Bowl-winning signal-caller Nick Foles kinda looks like Napolean Dynamite star Jon Heder. ...
