NCAA athletes are trying to unionize again — but this time it feels different

On Tuesday, Dartmouth’s men’s basketball team became the latest college team to attempt to unionize — voting 13-2 to join Service Employees Union Local 560, which currently represents other Dartmouth employees. As labor unions rise in popularity — more than two-thirds of all Americans and 88 percent...

Andy Reid's son was released early from his DUI conviction. The little girl he put in a coma isn't so lucky

Back in 2021, Britt Reid, then the Chiefs’ linebackers coach and son of celebrated Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid, left team headquarters drunk, smashed his truck into two cars stopped on the side of the interstate at 84 mph, and put five-year-old Ariel Young into a coma. Young sustained a ...

We present to you February 2024's Idiots of the Month

Welcome to the first edition of Idiots of the Month for 2024 (we may have been overwhelmed with idiocy in January, and declined to choose five from the nominees — or we may have been distracted by the Super Bowl). Luckily for us, February brought us a fresh, new crop of idiots, and one idiot who is ...

Non-working showers, tiny locker rooms, and having to play for Josh McDaniels: NFLPA releases team report cards

If the NFL Players Association’s annual team report card, which is voted on by the players from each franchise, is any indication, playing for Cincinnati Bengals’ owner Mike Brown is only a few steps divorced from suiting up for fictional Cleveland MLB owner Rachel Phelps — complete with non-working...

We need to talk about MLB's ugly new uniforms

By now, you’ve probably seen the pics of MLB players posing in jerseys and pants that look like little more than toilet paper draped to fit a human form. The uniforms are designed by Nike and manufactured by Fanatics, who appear to be doing a really great job of cornering the market on sports mercha...

Wait until you hear what the Kansas City Royals want to do

If you think the Oakland A’s have a lot of nerve in asking for taxpayers to fund their new stadium on the Las Vegas strip to the tune of $380 million in public funding, wait until you hear what the Royals are doing in Kansas City. ...

'Coach' Tommy Tuberville is the worst senator in the country

Allow me to address your concerns right off the bat. Yes, saying that Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville is the worst Senator in America feels subjective at best, and like hyperbole for the sake of clicks at worst. But hear me out. I am confident you’ll come to share my opinion, even in the day of oth...

The war on trans girls in sports is going exactly the way we thought it would

When I was in school, I had a friend who was a fantastic athlete (she still is). She was tall, thin, wore her hair short and could keep up with any of the guys in gym class and outperform 90 percent of them in just about any sport. She didn’t wear makeup and her wardrobe consisted mostly of gender-n...

Forget Nantz and Romo, give us SpongeBob and Patrick in the booth every week

If yesterday’s Super Bowl LVIII extravaganza — from the pregame to the broadcast to the game itself — left you a little cold, you were definitely watching the wrong broadcast. Sure, nothing changes the fact that the entire game consisted largely of trading field goals and then ended exactly how we k...

Everything you missed before and during the Super Bowl

If you didn’t tune in to the Big Game until after the action started on the field, have no fear. All you missed was one of the worst pre-game shows in the history of television, laden with so much craven advertising that the Puppy Bowl looked like it was on PBS by comparison. We had a bizarre Sunday...

Brett Favre continues to refuse to pay back money he allegedly swindled from the poor

When we last checked in with Brett Favre, he was attempting to fend off allegations that he knowingly played a role in diverting funds from Mississippi’s welfare fund to his pet project, a volleyball court at his alma mater where (surprise!) his daughter played on the team. In addition to (maybe) pa...
