Please say a prayer for these NFL players only making $100,000. They are really out here struggling. I think we should all donate them money. Ndamukong Suh did the math for us. You’re in New York, you make $200,000, taxes take half, now you’re sitting on $100,000 and everybody still expects you to live like...

Patrick Mahomes is back and his big idea for this year is handing it off more. Cleared for camp Friday, said he ran too much last season, which, fine, that’s the knee talking. Then Charles Goldman posts the rest of it. “If all else fails, I’ll just hand it off to K9 and let him...

And I gotta be honest, this man wears two gloves so the football can’t get away from him. Makes it so much better. Same week, his college coach Pat Narduzzi gets on the radio and says the Eagles never wanted to trade him. Kenny begged. That’s Narduzzi’s word. Because he wanted to COMPETE and didn’t...

USA Today went full heel on Caitlin Clark this week, and I don’t think they know how to work a match. Tuesday, ESPN cleans out ten on-air names. Ryan Clark, Cam Newton, Karl Ravech after 33 years there. Same week they’re reportedly trying to hand Pat McAfee $60 million a year, per The Athletic, to...

As one saga came to a close, another one may have just begun. The Columbus Blue Jackets have failed to lock up Adam Fantilli.I never considered an Adam Fantilli offer sheet a real possibility until recently. The Jackets signed their goaltender Jet Greaves to a 3 year 5 million extension which suddenly leaves them vulnerable....

Tony Romo got arrested for drunk driving on a bridge in Milwaukee Thursday night, and I need you to remember this is a man who calls the blitz 3 seconds before the ball is snapped. ERRRRRRRRM I DONT KNOW JIIIIM. 9 seasons in that booth telling you exactly what’s coming before it comes, and he...

I’ve seen insane sports decisions, but LeBron James just walked away from real money to make basically nothing with the Philadelphia 76ers, and at 41 years old, you don’t do that unless something bigger than basketball is going on. He was making something like $50 million a year with the Lakers. He just signed for...

Ultimately, Jason Robertson blinked before Jim Nill and the Dallas Stars. The talented winger singed yesterday with the Stars for only one season. The deal is worth 12 million dollars against the salary cap. The Jason Robertson contract answers one question this summer and opens about five more. This leaves a few doors open. First,...

Greg Sankey stood up at SEC Media Days in Tampa this week and said an SEC breakaway from the NCAA is real. Then, days later, turned right around and told a different reporter it’s not actually a priority. Make up your damn mind, Greg. Because if it’s actually on the table, I’ve got two words...

We are mere days away from the conclusion of the Jason Robertson saga. Should Robertson actually make it to arbitration is there a logical pivot for Dubas and the Penguins, and could it actually be a Penguins Thomas Harley trade instead of the two names everybody keeps throwing out? I think many people would believe...

There’s no way this is a serious team. That’s the only conclusion I’ve got after reading Bob Nightengale’s report on the Pirates trade deadline plan, which is apparently to be aggressive, as long as being aggressive costs zero extra dollars. What do you mean you want to be aggressive at the deadline but you’re not...

Cristiano Ronaldo hasn’t played a World Cup game in 12 days, and he’s never going to play one again. Meanwhile FIFA’s out here floating a World Cup 64 teams plan for 2030, like the problem with this tournament was ever how many teams show up. Here’s what actually happened. Before that Round of 16 game...

The Penguins Wheeling Nailers situation is the real story today, but first, as we slowly creep towards Jason Robertson’s arbitration date, not much has occurred in terms of player movement. Most of the players that elected to go to arbitration have reached a settlement outside of the court system. However, Robertson remains unsigned. I still...

So there are WNBA players out there who feel overshadowed by Caitlin Clark, and apparently the commissioner needed a guy from a whole different sport just to remind her who pays for the lights. Sports Business Journal dropped this yesterday and I’ve read it four times because I keep waiting for the part where it...

Another quiet day throughout NHL circles yesterday, but the Penguins handled some important business, business that only means something if it sets up a Penguins Jason Robertson trade. Yesterday morning the Penguins signed recently acquired Nick Robertson to a 2-year deal worth 3.25 million per season. After the signing of Robertson, the Penguins are left...

It was an unusually quiet weekend in the NHL, but the Jason Robertson trade rumors are about to make up for all of it. Most people thought that the two looming offer sheets were holding up a lot of action. Teams wanted to see specifically how the Carlsson situation would play out before making moves...

The Dylan Larkin trade rumors just picked up a new team, and everyone’s treating it like a footnote, one more line added to a list, and it isn’t, not even close. Dallas has $10.6 million in cap space, and the guy they’d actually need that room for is Jason Robertson, who’s sitting in salary arbitration...

Many fans bemoan NHL GM’s for not signing young talent through the avenue of NHL offer sheets. However, many GM’s have responded with saying that offer sheets are a pointless endeavor. Offer sheets are matched over 90% of the time. So, I understand the GM’s who echo the statement about the pointlessness of attempting this...
