It had to be the Raiders, didn’t it?
For as much as the Pats get shit for it, mostly because they were the most successful, every football team loves to find ways to flout the rules. It’s what they do. If you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t tryin’ as the saying goes. You have to be willing to do what the other guy won’t. That’s the defining ...
Tommy Tuberville proves we can do without the South
I know what happens every time you say something like that. I know there’s a lot of good people south of the Mason Dixon, or even south of I-80. At least that’s what they keep saying.

It is nearly impossible to not turn into your favorite forehead-slapping meme when discussing the Alabama senate race between Tommy Tuberville and Doug Jones. Any logical analyses of it can cause your brain to liquify and drip out of your nose to find the sweet release of non-existence. On the one s...
How much should Cubs fans care about their team's horrendous owners?
Todd Ricketts is a petulant child, and he’s mad because his awful brother, Tom, gets all the attention as chairman of the Chicago Cubs. Todd and his sister, Laura, also run the franchise, but Todd doesn’t care about Laura. He just wants you to know that he’s one of the people who owns the team....
Maybe Tom Brady is on Regeneron, too
It would seem that being a rich, chowder-brained pudwhack is contagious, as on the last drive of the Buccaneers’ Thursday night contest against the Bears, Tom Brady, perhaps showing the most dedication to his friend in the White House by letting his brain drip out his ear in tribute, forgot what dow...

Project ShaqBox Remembers Tom Seaver

Here’s One Way to Get Revenge Without Throwing a Baseball at Someone’s Skull

The Tampa Bay Lightning and Columbus Blue Jackets played the fourth-longest game in NHL history on Tuesday, taking five overtimes to complete the opener of their best-of-seven series in a marathon that finally ended when Brayden Point, found the puck on an open patch of ice and, on Tampa Bay’s 88th ...
The Mourning After: Gruden Gonna Gruden, MLS Gonna MLS & MLB Gonna Step on More Rakes
We’ll start with the truly weird, or at least it would be if it weren’t the world of football coaches.

Which is exactly what...
