Referee Wes McCauley is universally respected across the NHL, which is why he’s allowed to display a bit of showmanship from time to time.

Alex Guerrero has maintained a strange relationship with the Patriots since 2013.

Timing Of Trademarks Suggests "New XFL" May Be A Response To NFL Protests
On Friday afternoon, I received a particularly surprising DM from someone whose information is normally solid, if not always reportable.

Tom Brady Sidesteps Question About Whether His Quack Guru And Belichick Have Beef
The scuttlebutt around the Patriots, per recent media reports, is that Bill Belichick isn’t too fond of Tom Brady’s quack personal trainer and business partner, Alex Guerrero.

The Steelers' Final Play Was A Real Mess
The Steelers’ final offensive play in their 27-24 loss to New England was exactly as chaotic as it looked. Normally, that’d be a good thing on a fake spike—you want to confuse the defense. But it would’ve been better for Pittsburgh if more than two Steelers knew what was going on. That’s right: The ...
NFL's Worst Rule Robs Steelers Of A Win Over Patriots
The NFL was exciting and likable for about two minutes in Pittsburgh this evening, so naturally, someone had to ruin the fun.
