Captain Canada: Sidney Crosby is Philadelphia’s Daddy
A tale as old as time, Sidney Crosby and his team shit-stomp the lowly Philadelphia Flyers. Crosby was unsurprisingly the game’s first star, finishing with a goal and an assist in what was a huge four-point divisional game. It was so blatantly obvious that the Penguins would destroy the across state little brother. The Flyers...

College Football Playoff Expansion Is a Joke: Fix These 5 Problems Before 16 or 24 Teams
College Football Playoff expansion is the dumbest conversation in the sport right now. The Big Ten wants 24 teams, the SEC wants 16, and somehow we’re all supposed to act like this is what’s holding the game back. It’s not. It’s just the cleanest way for the people at the top to squeeze more money...

Penguins Fall to the Lightning 2-1. Almost Shutout Again
Last night, the Penguins almost went a second straight game without a goal. Instead, Malkin buried his tenth of the year to send the game to OT, then a shootout, and the Pens lost 2-1 to Tampa. It was an extremely entertaining game to attend despite the lack of offense. The Pens played a really...

Mike Tomlin Steps Down: The Steelers Finally Hit the Reset Button
Mike Tomlin steps down ending his 19 year run in Pittsburgh, but it also forces the Steelers to finally admit the truth: this thing needs a real reset. You can respect what Tomlin built and still believe this was the right time. I’m in that camp. Nineteen seasons, never a losing record, a Super Bowl...

Alex Bregman to the Cubs Is a $175M Middle Finger, and the $70M Deferred Part Is the Funniest Detail
Alex Bregman to the Cubs for $175 million with $70 million deferred is MLB at its most ridiculous: big-money flex dressed up as “responsible” accounting, and Boston got burned playing tough. The Cubs didn’t just sign a star. They pulled off the most baseball thing possible: spend like a contender, talk like a penny-pincher, and...

R-E-L-A-X The Penguins Are Fine
In the words on Aaron Rodgers, relax. After a six-game winning streak, the Penguins dropped two straight only scoring one total goal over the weekend. I am not even a little bit worried about the two-game slide. Sure, it would have been nice to get four points against two teams that likely won’t qualify for...

WNBA CBA Expired: Pay Up 30% of Gross Before Owners Blow This Whole Thing Up
WNBA CBA expired and owners need to give players 30% of gross revenue now, or they’re begging for a shutdown that kills momentum. The league keeps screaming “growth,” but the second payroll comes up, everybody gets cheap. And don’t get it twisted, I’m not doing the “both sides” thing here. If you’re an owner and...

Tate McRae, Ditch the Zero’s and Come Date a 4th Line Hero
Tate McRae, the world’s new Britney Spears, is allegedly dating New Jersey Devils star Jack Hughes. Jack Hughes plays for a miserable hockey team. McRae is familiar with dating hockey players on horrible hockey teams as she was previously linked with Columbus’ Cole Sillinger. Tate McRae is simply too attractive and too famous to associate...

Is Lamar Jackson Getting a Pass After the Ravens Fired John Harbaugh?
The Ravens just fired John Harbaugh after 18 seasons. That is not a little move. That is not a “we’re unhappy with the play calling” move. That is Baltimore saying the current version of the Ravens was not good enough, and they are done pretending it will fix itself. Here is what I can’t get...

CFP Semifinals Picks Ole Miss Survives Miami’s Rush and Indiana Beats Oregon Again
I am not doing a long warm up. We are going straight to the picks for the CFP Semifinals. I have Ole Miss over Miami. I have Indiana over Oregon. I will tell you the one way each pick can break, so you can argue with me like an adult in the comments. If you...

What is the sports equivalent to #ConformityGate
As I am sure you have heard, Stranger Things ended on New Years Eve. The finale was met with a wide range of opinions. Some people loved it, others hated it. I am of the opinion that the finale was mid. Really though the internet is trying to convince the world that tonight January 7th...

The Fernando Mendoza No. 1 Pick Debate: Raiders Full Reset After Firing Pete Carroll
Pete Carroll got fired, and that matters more than any mock draft right now. This isn’t a tweak. This isn’t “one more year and we’ll see.” This is the organization pulling the ripcord after a 3–14 season that went sideways in a hurry, including a 10-game skid that basically turned Sundays into an endurance test....

The Pittsburgh Penguins Cannot Stop Winning
Two games, two wins. Two different ways on two different days. The Penguins are becoming a force. The Penguins might deploy the best 4th line in hockey. Sidney Crosby is scoring goals at the second-best rate of entire career; he’s 38 years old. Come Thursday they will be getting another close to 40-year-old player back,...

The Sweet Spot in the New CFP Might Be Not Getting a Bye
The 12-team CFP was supposed to end the arguing. Instead it built an argument factory, because now the bracket itself is the villain. The whole sales pitch was clean. Be elite, earn the bye, get the edge. Except the “edge” keeps looking like a deep freeze while somebody else is out there playing real, live...

The Verdict is in, The Pittsburgh Penguins run the NHL
Everyone thought they were toast, but they are still the bread. Three straight years of missing the playoffs. One win during a ten-game stretch in December. Several of the most unbelievable third period collapses you have ever seen during that stretch. Preseason expectations as low as they were the year before Crosby arrived. A rookie...

Ryan Day is a fraud. Ohio State beat Michigan, then fell apart vs Indiana and Miami
I’m not doing the soft version of this. I’m not doing the polite version of this. I’m not doing the “at least we beat Michigan” group hug. Ryan Day is a fraud. He beat Michigan this year and he acted like the job was done. Like the rest of college football was supposed to bow....

Why Alabama WR Ryan Williams said he is returning in 2026 amid portal rumors
Why do stars have to hold press conferences just to confirm they still go to school there? That question feels dramatic until you look at what happened on December 30, 2025. Alabama wide receiver Ryan Williams said he intends to return in 2026 and not enter the transfer portal. He said it publicly while speculation...
