We present to you February 2024's Idiots of the Month

The Colorado Rockies have crushed Kris Bryant's soul
For the most part, fans these days accept that a player signing a generational wealthy contract with a team is more than enough of an end to itself.

Yet another reason Philly fans can never have nice things

Is Dan Orlovsky right about Jerry Jones and the Cowboys <i>wanting</i> to be mediocre?
Former NFL quarterback, Dan Orlovsky, has become one of the better analysts on ESPN programming over the past few years.

An ode to the enigma that was Paul Pogba
With the news that Paul Pogba has been suspended for four years (pending appeal), it almost certainly ends his career. Should he have to serve the full four seasons, he’ll be 35 and not have played in forever. The question of whether he’s a legend or left far too much on the table would depend on wh...
Please do not glorify Mattress Mack’s gambling addiction
Reporting on Mattress Mack McIngvale’s gambling addiction is akin to covering those competitive vaping contests featuring Gen Zers trying to see who can blow the biggest cloud/contract lymphoma the quickest. I guess there’s a human-interest angle, but it also glorifies sports betting to a disgusting...

Quarterback is the most important position in all of sports. The Falcons are on the hunt for a new one.

Are we doing this with the Winnipeg Jets again?
The Winnipeg Jets are in first place. The Jets have a legitimate shot at the Stanley Cup. They have the league’s best goalie, they have depth scoring. They can win a track meet if opponents want to play that way. They can grind out chances along the boards and in the corners if that’s what’s asked. ...
Non-working showers, tiny locker rooms, and having to play for Josh McDaniels: NFLPA releases team report cards
If the NFL Players Association’s annual team report card, which is voted on by the players from each franchise, is any indication, playing for Cincinnati Bengals’ owner Mike Brown is only a few steps divorced from suiting up for fictional Cleveland MLB owner Rachel Phelps — complete with non-working...
You probably forgot these NBA players were on these teams
