Another thing to envy about Chrissy Teigen: She managed to escape the hellsite that is Twitter
Supermodel Chrissy Teigen is aspirational for a lot of women for a lot of reasons: Her beauty, her self-deprecating sense of humor, her intelligence, her relationship with “Sexiest Man Alive” John Legend, her adorable children, the exotic locales from which she often posts to social media. And yet, ...

Georgia Tech coach Nell Fortner thanks the NCAA for telling on themselves
Nell Fortner is not here for the NCAA’s half-assed attempt to make it look like the weight room fiasco at the women’s basketball tournament was about difficulty with logistics or anything other than what it was: complete disregard for women, thinking they could get away with it without anyone notici...
Dodgers fans buy billboard outside Fenway to taunt... someone
I wouldn’t sit here and try to argue that Red Sox Nation is undeserving of being kicked while they’re down. They’ve had it their way for a very long time, though they would say they didn’t have it their way for a much longer period of time. And obviously, there isn’t anyone they didn’t annoy even ju...

It is often said that WWE does its best booking when backed into a corner. That is, whether through injuries to performers or sudden waves of popularity or other factors, when the company has to change or invent stories on the fly is when it tends to produce its best work. Daniel Bryan is a perfect ...

The Colorado Avalanche make medicine sick
It isn’t much of a story when a preseason favorite starts rising to the top of the standings.

The University of Oregon made history when it won the first NCAA men’s basketball tournament in 1939. And now the Ducks have entered the record books once again....
Urban Meyer might have a point about NFL free agency sucking (really)
Urban Meyer’s derision for the NFL’s free agency process seems like easy fodder, but there’s a lot of truth to his complaint about signing players without meeting them. It’s not good for the players, either, because they wind up making a critical decision about their career without having a full pic...

What’s the highest scoring game in Men’s March Madness history?
In case of a tiebreaker, you have to put a final score on your bracket. What’d you write for yours? If you’re like most, you predicted team scores in the sixties, seventies, maybe eighties? But definitely not in the 100’s… unless you really are that stupid. While most teams stay below 100 points, so...
Tanks a lot! Rockets going from 44-28 to 11-28 is putrid, but not most historic NBA drop-off ever
On Feb. 4, the Rockets went to Memphis and beat the Grizzlies by 12 points for their seventh win in eight games, moving to 11-10 for the season. Certainly, Houston was outperforming expectations after trading away James Harden, but nobody knew how bad things were about to get....
Duke? UNC? UConn? Ranking the best NCAA national champs over the past 20 years
Selection Sunday will be the first time we’ve been able to fill out a bracket in two years. A lot has changed since then, especially in college basketball, as it’s been as upside down as the rest of the world is. Juniors and seniors are the biggest draws this season, as only a few freshmen like Okla...
Only people worse than Indianapolis Colts are sports writers who take part in sham press conference
Shame on the Indianapolis Colts. Shame on the NFL. And most of all, shame on the sports writers willing to go along with a bogus press conference....
