The best fan-hosted NBA podcasts
With trust in the mainstream media dwindling daily, it’s no wonder corporate sports journalism is also losing ground. Partisanship and traffic-driven agendas have diluted the public’s trust in NBA talking heads. As anyone with a microphone and laptop can start a podcast, a DIY community of fan-drive...
Detroit fans have cause for hope on Thanksgiving? Something must be wrong
There’s never been a more exciting time to be a Lions fan on Turkey Day than right now. Detroit is 8-2 entering Thursday’s matchup with Green Bay and hasn’t been this good to start a season since 1962. Much of the fanbase wasn’t even alive the last time this franchise had this much hope on Thanksgiv...
The Carolina Panthers have a Dave Tepper problem
In May of 2018, at the Whitley Hotel in Atlanta — known then as the Ritz-Carlton (Buckhead) — Dave Tepper played one of the greatest games of “Big Bank Take Little Bank” of all time. He bought the Carolina Panthers for a then-record $2.275 billion…in CASH....
Don’t let Michigan and Michigan State’s dramas distract you from Northwestern’s
It doesn’t matter if you love or hate what has become of Michigan football this season, or if the drama around them has made you forget about Mel Tucker and Michigan State, we can all agree that they’ve both been the common denominator of their own drama. But that doesn’t mean they’ve been the only ...
Howie Roseman sure knows how to assemble a stacked roster
Obviously, the Kansas City Chiefs could have played better. Maybe the offense misses the big plays that JuJu Smith-Schuster made to help lift them past the Philadelphia Eagles in last season’s Super Bowl. The referees could have also been better at their jobs....

Week 11 NFL Takeaways: Lions, Dolphins and Texans escape disaster
Winning a game does not mean the victorious team is better than the one that lost. The football is oblong and takes several unpredictable bounces every game. Sometimes sure-handed running backs fumble and undependable quarterbacks throw for 400 yards and four touchdown passes....
Oklahoma City showed Golden State what Basketball Darwinism looks like
Victor Wembanyama has dominated so much of the rookie phenom discourse that Chet Holmgren’s gotten lost in the trees. Holmgren is finally emerging from the forest though. Scoring a commanding 36 points and hitting the game-tying three in an overtime win over the Golden State Warriors will open some ...
AEW can now be built around Swerve Strickland and Adam Page
While All Elite Wrestling does so many things well, it has its faults (nobody’s perfect). One of them has been an inability to center the roster around its younger talent, one the company can build a foundation off of for years to come. That shouldn’t be an issue after last night’s Full Gear PPV, an...
The real culprit in this Charissa Thompson mess is podcasts
This Charissa Thompson backlash, justified as it is, misses the bigger point, and if I may add 2 cents to the towering pile, it’s this: Podcasts are dumb. After two years of aggregating sports personalities saying stupid stuff, there’s more idiotic news made on podcasts than on social media at this ...
The USMNT shows mettle, and a lack of depth
The scoresheet will say that the USMNT got a 3-0 win over Trinidad and Tobago. And because it’s the Nations League, and more importantly the qualifying round for next summer’s Copa America, the result lords over all. Manager Gregg Berhalter will probably say something about the patience and fortitud...
The Mac Jones slander started early this season
Now that it’s apparent Mac Jones isn’t the guy in New England, the only thing that’s left to do is wait for the inevitable hit pieces. A tradition in Boston along the lines of belting out Dropkick Murphys in between fits of vomiting, an exit skewering for Bean Town’s disgraced professional athletes ...
They are racing Formula 1 cars in the streets of Las Vegas. Here's everything you need to know about it
Late on Thursday night, race cars will hit the streets of Las Vegas for the first practice session of the 2023 Las Vegas Grand Prix. The race marks Formula 1’s return to Vegas for the first time since the 1980s, so as we prepare for lights out in Sin City, we thought it was time to round up everythi...
Shohei Ohtani's most likely landing spot is the NL West
We’ve come to the end of our tour of the islands of every MLB team’s offseason outlook. We wrap up in the NL West, still the favorite landing place for Shohei Ohtani, as two of the rivals here are going to duke it out to bring him either slightly up the coast or six hours up it. One more time…...
If Shohei Ohtani stays in the AL West, it sure as hell won't be with the Angels
We’re almost through it. Today we head to the left coast, where the champs live…well, not actually. They’re in the middle, but they play in the division that’s ostensibly supposed to be about the left coast. Anyway, that’s not why you called! Let’s run through the division that had the best race las...
James Harden is the NBA’s worst clutch superstar
There are volumes that could be written about what’s wrong with the Los Angeles Clippers superteam. After all the ruckus James Harden started this summer, if you thought he’d arrive in tip-top shape, ready to make one last push at a title with the Clippers, then you’re as gullible as every other tea...
