Bengals-Chiefs, Jets-Bills, and the most impactful 2023 NFL matchups

The 2023 NFL season is set up to be a doozy. The schedule was released on Thursday night to much fanfare, and the best games of the season have already been picked out.

Jackson Mahomes seeks to overcome isolation by modifying bond

If there’s someone associated with turning their meal-ticket fame into bad decisions, it’s Jackson Mahomes. And a week after the 22-year-old thinks-he’s-a-social-media-influencer and younger brother of Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes was arrested on aggravated sexual battery and a mis...

Chicago Cubs skipper David Ross is clueless

Modern baseball thinking has it that the manager in the dugout is just an extension of the front office. He pressed the buttons he was told to, and if he can help manage personalities and keep a bunch of millionaires from knifing each other over seven hot months, so much the better. So maybe David R...

Blood, sweat, and bodyslams: 10 moments that defined the Heat-Knicks playoff rivalry

The Miami Heat and New York Knicks have plenty of bad blood, dating back to the mid-90s. Even 30 years after Pat Riley left New York for Miami, storylines remain between the two teams.

Did you know the Kansas City Chiefs' actual mascot is not at all problematic?

The NFL’s wanderlust has led to the league potentially moving a Kansas City Chiefs home game to Germany. Whether or not that occurs is still up for debate, but we should know by Thursday’s schedule reveal. But if the NFL does export its premier team to Europe’s unofficial football capital, chances a...

Gabriel ThreeYaksAndADog will miss all of next season, and the Colorado Avalanche era may already be over

In the salary-capped NHL, you get one, or two shots with one roster, and then you basically have to reshuffle everything around your core stars, and hope that new hand still produces a flush. It’s a constant game of draw poker. ...

The Chicago Blackhawks, the worst team you know, got all the luck

Tanking isn’t a plan, at least in leagues with a lottery. It’s a wager. A GM or front office or owner isn’t putting up money, other than the lack of tickets and merch they’ll sell while their team is shit. They’re putting up a season or many of complete haplessness with rosters devoid of useful play...

What Serena Williams, all the athletes at the Met Gala wore

Unless you’ve been living off the grid or seriously eschew social media (without lurking, in which case you’re a better person than the rest of us), you probably know that last night was the Met Gala.

The New York Rangers eat dirt like the frauds they’ve always been

It’s important to review recent New York Rangers history to know why they ended up with a handful of their own dicks in the first round, to a New Jersey Devils team that is far more equipped for what wins in the NHL these days. Two years ago, James Dolan took a break from his normal paint-huffing ro...

2023 NFL Draft Winner and Losers

The first round of the 2023 NFL Draft is over and Thursday proved to be one of the needle-moving days on the league’s calendar.

Black QBs make NFL Draft history while white QB sits in green room

What happened to Kentucky quarterback Will Levis wasn’t funny. It felt cruel watching someone experience their most humiliating moment on the night in which their dreams were supposed to come true. But for African-Americans — or at least for myself — it was impossible to ignore the irony. For decade...

So you traded the No. 1 pick — now what, Chicago?

The Chicago Bears failed in the most ideal way possible last season. They finished with the worst record in the NFL, and still found a way to unleash breathtaking athleticism from Justin Fields. ...
