Week 3 NFL Takeaways: Ugh. Did somebody die in here?
A lot of poor professional football was played during Week 3 of the NFL season. Going into the first window of games, most of the schedule appeared uninspiring — especially after 4:00 p.m. EST. However, mismatches were not the sole reason for poor play throughout the day....

Mel Tucker keeps overlooking his own words in this he-said-she-said with Brenda Tracy
I have no idea if Mel Tucker thought things were consensual — or if he even asked. I’m clueless when it comes to knowing if Brenda Tracy had a motive. But what I, and you, know is that Mel Tucker owned up to doing what he did — making “sexual comments” about Tracy while “masturbating” during a “late...
Here's why victims of sexual trauma often don't fight back
Last weekend, allegations that now-suspended MSU football coach Mel Tucker had sexually harassed anti-sexual assault advocate Brenda Tracy hit the news and, as always when a prominent man in the world of sports is accused, X/Twitter and other social media platforms were besieged by those speculating...
Michigan State should not benefit from Mel Tucker, but it will
Secretly, the grossest thing about this Mel Tucker scandal — outside of all the unverifiable tips being sent to the Deadspin general email — is that Michigan State might actually benefit from its own incompetence. Tucker would be owed an $80 million buyout if he were fired for being an abhorrent foo...
Art Briles is still hanging around college football because idiot coaches keep bringing him around
For the second year in a row, Art Briles’ name has been associated with a college football program. And for the second year in a row, it’s because an idiot, posing as a coach, brought him around. Hue Jackson, meet Jeff Lebby....
Jets fans get a last meal before returning to hell
You’re already hearing it. New York Jets fans pointing out that, on a night when their “final piece” quarterback made it four plays before his decaying body snapped, and on a night where the Bills clanked a game-tying field goal off the post and in, the fact that they still pulled it out on an overt...
Michigan State thinks the answer to another public sexual misconduct scandal is more Mark Dantonio
In February 2020, Mark Dantonio — by far the most successful football coach in Michigan State’s history — retired. The stress of managing 120 student-athletes every year wore on him, Dantonio said. He wanted to make his life less complicated, so he was stepping away from football and East Lansing....

Where are all the women in NFL studios?
This hasn’t been a great weekend for women in sports. Disgraced Baylor coach Art Briles somehow made his way onto the field of an Oklahoma game to celebrate a win with his son-in-law, Sooners’ offensive coordinator Jeff Lebby. Lebby then had the nerve to get indignant when asked why Briles was on th...
David Wells had a 'Sir, this is a Wendy's' moment when he bashed woke-ism and Yankees players
David Wells was fortunate to win 18 games and finish in top 3 of the AL Cy Young voting as a starting ace on the 1998 Yankees club that won an AL-record 114 games. Twenty-five years after he pitched a perfect game (allegedly hungover), Boomer Wells lived up to his nickname by ruining the good vibes ...
