Bruce Arians: 'If you want to go back to normal, get vaccinated'
Though the NFL is somewhat divided, Bruce Arians has a very simple idea as to how he could see things returning to normal....

Stop making nonsensical ‘Build a roster with $10’ thingys
You know what I hate? I hate seeing those grid posts on social media that give you a certain budget to create a lineup. Seriously, I don’t understand the point of them at all. Those websites should really stop posting these things....

Pete Alonso has no problems with sticky stuff, but big problems with MLB
Break out your tin foil hats, because we’re diving into the Major League Baseball conspiracy well. All the talk around baseball’s proverbial water cooler lately has been about pitchers using sticky substances to increase their grip on the baseball. However, according to 2019 NL Rookie of the Year, P...

LeBron reminds us of other greats who wore multiple numbers on the same team
After a tumultuous 2018-19 season with the Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James tweeted this out, passive-aggressively declaring his intentions to change his number to six....

These primal athlete screams hit different with no fans....

I know y’all hate Rudy Gobert, but he deserves this DPOY award
I know “Basketball Twitter” detests Rudy Gobert, but the fact of the matter is he deserved to win this Defensive Player of the Year Award. ...

Like most of us, and Indiana Jones, Charles Barkley is not too fond of snakes
TNT’s Inside the NBA is a wild show. But, like, the hilarious kind of wild. Or, the “watch Shaq and Charles argue about this dumb shit” wild. The 15-time Sports Emmy Award winning show is not really known for wild animals. But there’s a first time for everything, I guess....

Aaron Rodgers doesn’t owe the fans a damn thing
The Green Bay Packers’ front office continues to squirm. As Aaron Rodgers doesn’t show up for mandatory OTA’s the Packers are getting dangerously close to having to live off the merits of their own decision-making in the form of Jordan Love starting Week 1....

Euro 2021: Can Poland rise to meet Robert Lewandowski?
No. What’re you, new? No one rises to the level of Robert Lewandowski. It’s Robert Goddamn Lewandowski. Dude just scored 40 goals in one league season, which is utterly insane. That’s after he scored 34 last year. Seventy-four motherfucking goals in two seasons in just the Bundesliga. That’s four se...

Navy won’t let a Black football player go to the NFL and everyone is to blame
Here’s a story that’s as American as apple pie, baseball, and voter suppression. It involves naivety, racism, politics, football, the military, and faux patriotism. It checks all the boxes....

I just want to keep hearing the raucous din of Islanders games
I don’t have a real affinity for the New York Islanders. Great jerseys, ones they should have never abandoned, but other than that, whatever. Barry Trotz is maybe the best at getting his players to buy into his system, which is why it works so well, but that doesn’t mean it’s all that entertaining t...

There’s a reason all this ‘sticky stuff’ talk is happening now
There are pretty much just five things going on across baseball Twitter nowadays:...

Ravens will take to the air

Embiid and Simmons remind us, in different ways, why they’re special

Euro 2021: So how is England going to screw this up?
The English are the Chicago Bears of international soccer. Even though they basically created the sport, and have one of the biggest fan bases as well, they have sat by and watched others pass them as the game changed and evolved, still clinging to what they believed, all the while bleating about th...

Brandon Crawford deserves more love than he’s been getting
When the 2021 MLB All-Star Game polls opened on June 3, I filled out five ballots. I’ve voted at least once every day since. And every time, I voted for pretty much the same team with a few minor adjustments. ...

SEE IT: Parachuter lands in the middle of Polish soccer game, draws yellow card
Planned parachuters are a staple at some sporting events over here in the U.S. I saw one a few years ago at a college game. If you’ve been to any outdoor football game, chances are you’ve seen one too. It’s a pregame event that’s actually exciting and requires a fair amount of precision from the sky...

Kendrick Perkins and Quavo are apparently still beefing
This is probably what Migos meant by, “You don’t get shit straight if you don’t straighten it.” ...

Gerrit Cole gives away the game
Were you in the mood for an extremely uncomfortable two minutes of media interaction to kick off your day? I bet you were. Who wouldn’t be? This will probably look like any meeting you’ve had with upper management. Step up, Gerrit Cole, and give the people what they want!...
