The case for — and against — Joel Embiid for MVP
Joel Embiid, the world’s best regular-season player, is closing in on his second consecutive MVP if he remains upright. When active, Embiid is a force of nature, bending defenses to his whim and simultaneously wielding an unduly influence over Philadelphia’s defense....
The father-son duos who have won a Super Bowl
If the 49ers win the Super Bowl, running back Christian McCaffery will join his father, Ed, as a Super Bowl Champion. The same with San Fran’s head coach Kyle Shanahan. With a victory, he and his father Mike Shanahan will be two coaches with Super Bowl victories. Here is a list of all the other fath...

The NFL seems to be stuck between a rock and a hard place when it comes to player health and safety. ...
It might sound crazy, but Russell Wilson returning to Denver might be the best option
Russell Wilson’s first two years in Denver were a rollercoaster ride, to say the least. Tumultuous might be a better word for Wilson’s time as a Bronco, but that doesn’t mean it should automatically come to an end just because of a few bumps in the road. His first season was bad, and while his secon...
The Pittsburgh Penguins are on the brink
No one ever wants to admit the end is coming, much less is here. Especially when there are signs that it’s still a bit of a ways off, if one knows where to look. There will come a day when the Pittsburgh Penguins will recede into the background, which they haven’t really done since the beginning of ...

Barcelona are truly lost
While Jurgen Klopp stole most of the manager-leaving-at-end-of-season headlines, another of the biggest clubs in the world is losing their manager come May. That would be Barcelona, as Xavi announced he would be leaving his post when this season ends. The difference between the two is that one is le...
Naming flights after Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce isn't going to fix the airline industry
The airline industry seems to think it can distract the people. It thinks that it can divert our attention away from that horrifying social media video of deployed oxygen masks on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 Max 9 because a portion of the jet detached and fell into the sky. My attention is still s...
It’s getting harder to classify Brock Purdy
Does anyone even know what type of quarterback Brock Purdy is? Is he the new Joe Flacco? Is he Big Ben redux? Tom Brady 2.0? He’s part-Kirk Cousins, but activates Russell Wilson when he scrambles out of the pocket. All these guys reached Super Bowls by their second season and they maintained those l...
Lamar Jackson may win MVP, but he's still second fiddle to Patrick Mahomes
Now that NFL Championship Sunday is in the rearview, it’s time to reflect on what was and what could have been. For the Baltimore Ravens, it’s a matter of looking back and figuring out what you could have done differently as a team. But for Lamar Jackson, at this point, it has to be tough playing se...
How a Chicago Bears fan learned to love Dan Campbell
This is hard for a Bears fan to admit, and I might, later on, decide to deny I ever said it, but I was pulling for the Detroit Lions (God, that was uncomfortable to type). It hasn’t always been this way, of course. There was the heated rivalry between Chicago and Detroit during the Barry Sanders yea...
Patrick Mahomes the game manager was good enough
In years past Patrick Mahomes had to be Quarterback Jordan. En route to his second Super Bowl, he became the first throwzini to lead the league in passing yards and win a Super Bowl in the same season. Last year, he had to will Kansas City through the postseason by scrambling on a high ankle sprain....
Oh, you thought you were different, Lions?
Really thought you’d built something, didn’t you, Detroit Lions? The uniform change, the positivity, the belief, the empty catchphrases, whatever they were. Thought you’d shed that old Honolulu blue-and-silver skin and become something new, something better, didn’t you? Were sure you’d left the deca...
Don’t expect to see Kadarius Toney in a Chiefs uniform ever again
The AFC Championship game is underway. Both Patrick Mahomes and Lamar Jackson have put their stamp on the game with amazing plays. This matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens may very well be an all-timer. However, a familiar face will not be participating. For the third time in...

Coco Gauff-Aryna Sabalenka is tennis' best rivalry
Women’s tennis hasn’t had a great rivalry in some time. The tour was dominated by Serena Williams for so long and no one could have managed to look her in the eye for very long. The closest was her sister Venus, yet matches between the two regularly and mostly were hard on the eyes, because both see...
Milwaukee Bucks should trade Doc Rivers for Jrue Holiday
The NBA has done a spectacular job with Rivalry Week. Sam Presti vs. his mentors in Oklahoma City took a backseat to Chet Holmgren vs. Victor Wembanyama. That clash felt like a future NBA Finals showdown. Devin Booker and Luka Doncic exchanged their usual vitriol and potshots at one another. However...
