Bryson DeChambeau’s ignorance is staggering
Everything Bryson DeChambeau said is wrong. Every. Thing. Which you knew, because most everything he says while on the PGA Tour is idiotic.

There are certain sports that are staples of the Olympics, the ones that get on in prime time and take hold of the sports world when they’re going for the gold.

Guess what? Racists in San Diego threw tortillas at a high school hoops team
People who live in so-called “progressive” cities and states love to tell you how “progressive” they are. Then something racist will happen, and all the people of color from that community will remind them how wrong they were. ...

Do those MVP trophies come with a receipt?
No individual award in American sports generates more debate than the NBA MVP. No one cares about hockey, and half the awards are given to players where the voters don’t really understand why they’re voting for them. Baseball awards are too mired in the debate between how we view the game today and ...
If it’s not the Leafs this season, which teams have the best (worst?) shot at passing the Rangers 54-year Cup futility?
The New York Rangers are the historic gold standard for futility in the NHL, having gone 54 years without winning the Stanley Cup until finally getting the job done in 1994 (see Mark Messier with the Cup above) — after decades of being taunted with “1940” chants in enemy arenas....

On April 2, Golden State’s season reached its nadir with a 53-point loss to the Raptors in Tampa.

Packers complaining about tampering is ridiculous
Aaron Rodgers is an outdated cry-baby and the Packers front office is equally bad.

Alex Rodriguez and ESPN’s <em>Sunday Night Baseball</em> are Can’t Stomach TV
Shohei Ohtani’s remarkable mound/plate performance last night helped mask what otherwise was a turgid, if not torturous, ESPN broadcast.

Six weeks ago, when the entire world watched homegrown white American terrorists storm the U.S. Capitol in a dangerous temper-tantrum/coup, Colin Kaepernick’s name and image kept being mentioned.

The Dallas Stars love America, but apparently not their neighbors
Texas’ complete handcuffing by winter’s rare invasion into the state is a scary situation, and thousands not having power or heat in sub-freezing temperatures is a real problem. You know that. I know that. But apparently the Dallas Stars don’t seem to know it, and required the mayor of Dallas’ offic...
