Where does Tony Khan think stars come from?
AEW maven Tony Khan had his pre-All Out media call yesterday. These can be fascinating encounters, where he’s there basically to promote a show, and most of the people asking him questions are throwing hanging curveballs so he can do so. However, every so often someone asks him something that doesn’...
The Cavs want it all, and they want it now
Well, look at the Cleveland Cavaliers....
It’s make or break time for JuJu Smith-Schuster
In March, JuJu Smith-Schuster signed a one-year $10.75 million contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. Playing with Patrick Mahomes, this is his prove-it-or-lose- season. There are no more excuses if JuJu doesn’t play up to No. 1 receiver standards when the best young quarterback of this generation is...
Gary Player struggling to figure out how the internet works
The thing about the internet is it’s permanent. Scrub all you want, but no amount of skin grafts or laser removal is getting rid of that Kottonmouth Kings tattoo. While you can have an expert ink over it in hopes that no one notices, your asshole friends definitely have documented evidence of its ex...
Jake Paul’s next match is against a legend — whose glory days are well behind him
Look at Jake Paul stepping up his competition — in name recognition in the fight world at least....
Stephen A. Smith’s ‘presidential aspirations’ are a slap in the face to politicians, Americans at home or abroad
Stephen A. Smith has lost his damn mind....
IDIOT OF THE MONTH: We're surrounded by idiots

No one wants to let go
It is obviously going to take a brave woman to stare down Serena Wiliams at Ashe Stadium, where 24,000 (minus the handful they have in their player’s box) will be backing the legend to keep her career alive for just a couple more days. It is perhaps the most unique advantage in tennis history, a wal...
White Chocolate is trippin’
In basketball, a couple of never-ending debates will likely go unresolved....
Aaron Judge is the king, but not for the reasons some New York dips**t thinks
It’s going to be a month of this. Aaron Judge has 50+ homers by Sept. 1, one of the very few to accomplish said feat. And with all baseball records, there are going to be self-appointed gatekeepers who have decided it is their purpose to keep the hordes at bay from sullying something sacred. There i...
LeBron is manipulating the media for his sons' sake
LeBron is promoting the hell out of his newest passion project. It’s not a Spring Hill-Warner Bros. production, but it is the most personal aspect of his investment portfolio. For Sports Illustrated’s Daily Cover story on Tuesday, LeBron, flanked by his sons Bronny and Bryce, spoke to Chris Ballard,...
A.J. Terrell's absence from the NFL Top 100 is inexcusable
The NFL Top 100 Players of 2022 list, a group compiled by the players themselves, included eight cornerbacks, who were ranked from 89th (Saints’ Marshon Lattimore) to ninth (Rams’ Jalen Ramsey). Every player mentioned is a tremendous talent, even Trevon Diggs (ranked 23rd). I just don’t think he’s w...
Baseball is for lovers
The joke used to be that you were supposed to think of baseball to un-horny yourself. When you needed to prolong proceedings to a length of time that wouldn’t be embarrassing or possibly even to one acceptable to both (or more?) parties. Think of every third baseman in the National League in 1991 an...
NFL players that retired in their prime
Over the years, we’ve seen some popular NFL stars call it quits in a matter that felt abrupt and, for some, far too early. Watching women’s tennis superstar Serena Williams on her “farewell tour” reminded me of former football players who, had we known they were near the end, may have received some ...
Now that the PGA season is over, the Saudi Tour has the spotlight to itself — D'oh!
The PGA Tour season is over, and the only PGA-sanctioned event left on the calendar is the President’s Cup, which Saudi Tour golfers are ineligible to play. Cam Smith won’t be included, despite qualifying for the international team, and neither will the other five golfers who announced their move a ...
Matt Araiza, Rachel Richardson, and the cowardice of ‘leadership’
What do a former NFL punter and a Black female volleyball player at Duke have in common?...
Is Tyreek Hill the high tide that can lift Tua’s boat?
Mike McDaniel’s pod of Dolphins has already made splashes. In its preseason finale, Miami dropped 48 on the Philadelphia Eagles and Tua Tagovailoa completed 6-of-7 passes for 121 yards and led three scoring drives....
Giannis has become the Paul Bunyan of basketball
The fake sports news on Twitter is getting a bit out of control. I’m aware that part of responsible internet usage requires users to vet sources. It’s not like people haven’t been getting burned by fake Woj and fake Schefter accounts for years, but handles like CockSources and Ballsack sports — whil...
Does Riqui Puig signal a new kind of MLS?
One of the most fascinating things about MLS, as goofy as it can be, is watching it evolve into a different type of league every few years....
Rams Twitter wilds out over Tom Brady ranking No. 1 in NFL’s Top 100 over Aaron Donald
The NFL Top 100 players ranking, conducted by the players, is complete. For the fourth time in its history, Thomas Edward Patrick Brady Jr. comes in at No. 1. One team’s social media account immediately pounced with an objection to Brady being the best player in the league for 2022....
