Did Joey Bosa really expose Derek Carr’s biggest flaw?
Raiders quarterback Derek Carr has looked remarkably solid thus far in 2021. After years of failing to live up to his MVP-caliber season in 2015, Carr was starting to look like his former self once again, then the Chargers reminded everyone just how average Carr has been over the last six years. Aft...
Tom Brady’s favorite team to beat? The Giants, of course
In most people’s eyes, Tom Brady has already claimed the throne as the GOAT of the National Football League. But Brady is no different than any other player when it comes to holding onto things and maybe even being a little petty about it....
Robin Lehner decided he didn’t want to burn down the NHL after all

What <i>are</i> the Yankees now?
I suppose one of the things that makes me feel old, one of the many things, is how I would perceive the Yankees-Red Sox rivalry versus someone who is 30 or under. I lived long enough in the era of the Yankees pissing all over the Sox to still have some base inkling toward that whenever these two lin...
Don’t let Urban Meyer quit – fire him
The Jacksonville Jaguars are a mess because Shad Khan is a mess. The NFL’s lone owner of color that once donated $1 million to Donald Trump and then dared to write an essay on racial and social justice, spent Tuesday morning crafting a statement about the embarrassing and comical mishaps of his 0-4 ...

Chucky got lost
The Las Vegas Raiders got rocked by the L.A. Chargers, 28-14 on Monday Night Football, but it was outside factors surrounding the game that got a lot of attention as well. If you ask Raiders head coach Jon Gruden, the weather delay that pushed the opening kickoff back by 35 minutes and the maze-like...
Sage Steele tests positive for COVID, because of course she did
I guess I’m surprised Sage Steele stopped emanating bullshit for long enough to actually inhale to get COVID-19, but I suppose even the most oxygen-deprived need a base level to remain upright:...

Week 4 NFL Powerless Rankings: Jacksonville is not good
The 2021 NFL season is starting to pick up and we’re finally starting to get a clear picture of which teams are about that action and which teams are not. We can talk another day about the teams that are actually for real. This is about the teams that are not....
The San Francisco Giants, the ones who stood out
I had about four different drafts of this in my head before I actually sitting down (or in my case, stand up, as I work in reverse) and writing it. I wanted to proclaim the Giants as the anti-rebuild success story, which they kind of are. But not wholly, because it’s one year....
The fastest quarterback to win 100 regular-season games is Black — his name is Russell Wilson
Sunday was a huge day for Russell Wilson. His team, the Seattle Seahawks, knocked off the 49ers on the road, 28-21, avoiding the distinction of worst record in the highly contested NFC West. Wilson’s name, meanwhile, was solidified in the record books in a way once thought impossible for a man who l...

Kyler Murray and Cardinals give Rams a two-piece spicy combo in L.A.

Liverpool and Manchester City hurl everything at each other in game of the season
It’s rare that games between the top-table inhabitants of soccer can live up to the billing. They usually cancel each other out, the fear of losing greatly outweighing the benefit of winning, and you might get the odd goal here or there in contests that are high on tension and intrigue but low on an...
