NBA, Players Close to Agreement on December 22 Start Date for Truncated 72-Game Season
We’re not even a month removed from the Los Angeles Lakers winning their 17th championship, but it looks like that won’t stop the NBA from carrying on its tradition of treating us to games on Christmas Day. Thanks to the coronavirus, the NBA’s 2019-20 season was suspended indefinitely back in March. Eventually, the league was…

Dalvin Cooked the Packers, Javon Wims Has Hands and Other Takeaways from Week 8 of the NFL
Shall we begin? I mean, sure; the fact that their team doctors punctured their own starting quarterback’s lung earlier this season might’ve been a dead giveaway, but after Drew Lock threw a touchdown to KJ Hamler in the final seconds of Sunday’s game to secure a gut-wrenching 31-30 victory, I can confirm that yes, the…

Yes, the Dallas Cowboys Just Cut the Only Player on Their Team to Protest the National Anthem. I Wonder Why?
In case you haven’t noticed, the Dallas Cowboys (2-5) are pretty fucking bad this season. And while the offense has had more than its fair share of troubles, it’s the defense that should be charged with treason. To that end, it should come as no surprise that Cowboys owner and general manager Jerry Jones is…

Los Angeles Dodgers End Their Drought, Win 1st World Series Title In 32 Years
The drought is over. After 32 years of misery, the Los Angeles Dodgers have won the World Series. And for those of you still crippled with disbelief, I can verify this as fact because my neighborhood (I live all of two blocks away from Staples Center) was turned inside out until well past midnight. Good…

If You Count the Number of Major Violations the Arizona Wildcats Just Got Slapped With, You'll Almost Run Out of Fingers
Under NCAA guidelines, the most serious violation a school can commit is a Level I violation. These typically “undermine the integrity of college sports” and pretty much mean somebody’s ass is about to be fired. So using that as a preface, the Arizona Wildcats are in some serious shit, according to The Athletic: The University…

Cam Gets Benched, Odell Beckham Jr. Out for the Year and Other Takeaways from Week 7 of the NFL
Another week of football is officially in the books. Let’s get to it. Cam Newton is going through it, y’all. If you thought he looked like trash against the Broncos in Week 6, he somehow outdid that putrid performance this weekend against the 49ers.

We should’ve known that once the NFL started loving the movement without the people who helped push the narrative that Black lives matter (yep, Eric Reid and Colin Kaepernick are still without NFL homes) that anything after that was bullshit. Beyoncé’s husband being hired by the NFL was bullshit. The playing of the Black national…
