<i>Hard Knocks Episode 4</i>: Finally, something other than Aaron Rodgers

On its biggest stage ever at Wembley, AEW was its AEW-est

AEW took its big shot Sunday, putting on their first-ever stadium show and their first show in the UK at Wembley Stadium.

Atlanta high school football coach gets cuffs slapped on after punching player

“Thou shalt not assault players” is one of the most stringently enforced coaching commandments there is.

Shohei Ohtani and Mike Trout are hurt — how else would the Angels season end?

Neil Young told us that it was better to burn out than to fade away.

That quickly appro...

Mekhi Becton and Duane Brown are ready for action, and if the Jets want a title they had better stay that way

The New York Jets offensive line is beginning to take shape. They’re play has been so porous this summer that not even the Hard Knocks producers could gloss over it. Finally, reinforcements are on the way, specifically at offensive tackle. Duane Brown has been activated off of the PUP list, and Mekh...

Baker Mayfield’s whiteness keeps getting him NFL starting QB jobs

Baker Mayfield didn’t do anything wrong. The crime that keeps getting committed is done by the owners, general managers, and coaches who keep giving him endless opportunities.

If Michigan's Jim Harbaugh gambit works, it will be a horrible look for the NCAA

Michigan football won’t have Jim Harbaugh on the sidelines for its first three games of the season, and it’s only trio of nonconference contests of the year before a possible bowl game. Yawn. Like it’ll matter. It’s part of the school’s self-imposed penalty for Harbaugh’s alleged recruiting violatio...
