Is Deion Sanders ushering in a positionless era at Colorado?
Deion Sanders is an iconoclast, if nothing else. Sanders has gone against the grain by taking the rarely traveled SWAC route to a Power 5 coaching job, in addition to his use of the transfer portal, his braggadocious coaching style, his deals with Barstool and decision to sign with Colorado over mor...
Count Tua Tagovailoa among the Sound of Freedom’s ‘forgotten viewers’
The movie rage hitting the theaters this summer extends beyond Barbie, and Oppenheimer. There’s a hidden treasure, one could even call it forgotten, and the independent, umm, film has brought in nearly $175 million. The Sound of Freedom — an action thriller about a child trafficking ring starring Ji...
Who’s more exciting: Shohei Ohtani or Elly De La Cruz?
This is not an argument about who’s the better player: Shohei Ohtani, or Elly De La Cruz. Ohtani is probably the best two-way player in baseball history, and De La Cruz has 55 games to his name.

Aaron Rodgers' idea of the Garden State came from watching <i>Jersey Shore</i>
Aaron Rodgers’ idea of the Garden State prior to being traded to the New York Jets was gleaned through MTV’s Jersey Shore.

Shohei Ohtani isn't this generation's Babe Ruth — he's even better
It’s easy to connect Shohei Ohtani to Babe Ruth, because Ruth is the only figure that we think even compares to Ohtani. Baseball hasn’t had a dominant two-way player since the Great Bambino, so that’s what the numbers have to be compared to. It used to be that Ruth’s pitching exploits were kind of a...

Yes, a pitcher can be the best player in baseball, especially if he also hits 40 HRs
Quarterback is the most important position in football because a quarterback has the ball in their hands for nearly half of the game. They control the game’s pace of play, the efficiency of the passing attack, and although it’s not done nearly as much nowadays, they can even call their team’s plays....
Don’t miss the Ruthian show Shohei Ohtani is putting on right now
Shohei Ohtani is on a whole other planet right now.

Which Was Longer: James Harden's Staredown Or Tom Brady's Kiss With His Son?
Everyone had a hearty chuckle (or gasped in horror) as James Harden extracted Wesley Johnson’s soul with a crossover last night, but The Outline’s Jeremy Gordon had an offhand joke that made us think. He said Harden’s staredown of Johnson was longer than Tom Brady’s definitely normal lips-on-lips ki...
Lonzo Ball Lost A Shooting Contest To Bow Wow
If you are a professional basketball player there is one thing you have to understand: Even though losing a casual shooting contest to a non-professional basketball player is not an objectively big deal, it is something you absolutely cannot allow to happen. Why? Because when it does happen, you hav...

What To Get Bow Wow For His Birthday
It's hard to believe the rapper and 106 & Park host formerly known as Lil Bow Wow is 28 today. Seems like just yesterday we were introduced to a precocious 13-year-old Shad Moss by way of his debut single, 2000's "Bounce With Me." Today is his birthday, and he has many reasons to celebrate. I know y...
