MLB owners aren’t opening the gates til they salary cap this league, looking around the landscape, NBA teams sold for multi-billy’s while MLB teams struggle with the lack of a defined wage ledger they can pencil in annually. Meanwhile, the MLB players’ association appears the last remaining major sports union not selling their rights for […]
The Yankees 2026 stopping a runaway train with all their might, Peter Parker pulling webstrings, tearing his rotator cuffs to shreds, buildings bend as New York—a team designed to out clobber the field, missing their mightiest clobberer, the one with the most clobbers in single-season history, drug free is the way to be—clings to the […]
Last week’s series against the Chicago White Sox mattered. Climbing from the dungeons to the rooftops, Chicago leads the AL Central, only 4 wins behind the Yankees, the Bronx Bombers defused, Aaron Judge, Cody Bellinger and Giancarlo Stanton all out indefinitely. It’s Ben Rice and the best pitching staff in the world against everyone. There […]

I. Love. Quarterback. Competitions. Teams have entire offseasons to acquire talent and when asked the identity of their Week 1 starting quarterback, arguably the most important position in sports, some coaches’ kindest responses are “we’ll see”. The upcoming 2026 NFL season has some interesting QB battles. Most notably, the awkward power struggle in Minnesota… Let’s […]
Draymond Green, one of the first players to make money podcasting for real. Balling nextdoor to Silicon Valley all these years, I reckon Draymond’s stock portfolio impeccable. His money makes money. I know a savvy business mind when I see one. After another disappointing, injury-plagued Warriors season, Draymond Green elected to opt out of the […]
The Lakers won 53 games last season. They won a playoff series, beat Kevin Durant and the Houston Rockets. And only Luka Doncic, Austin Reeves, Jarrad Vanderbilt, Jake LaRavia, Dalton Knecht and Bronny James were allowed back on the team for next season’s campaign. An entire new roster, mostly guys who keep sunscreen at arm’s […]
The Minnesota Vikings were so close. [Gun pointed to temple} Always have been. They watched Sam Darnold leave to win the Super Bowl, in front of Bad Bunny, while JJ McCarthy was statistically one of the worst quarterbacks in NFL history, Carson Wentz shattered his elbow and Max Brosmer accidentally became important at work. Minnesota […]
Chiefs needed OC Eric Bieniemy. 20th in yards, 21st in scoring, OC Matt Nagy, somehow immediately earning a job with the New York Giants, dragged the Kansas City Chiefs offense to mediocrity. Injuries were a factor too, obviously, Patrick Mahomes tore his ACL. Travis Kelce moves like the oldest player in NFL history. I don’t […]
The Tampa Bay Buccaneers decided they won’t be signing any of their best players to contract extensions. As NFL training camps open up today, 2-time All-Star nose tackle Vita Vea’s requested a trade away from the team following frustrating contract negotiations. Vea enters 2026 on the final year of his 4-year, $71m deal, Tampa Bay […]
Pittsburgh Steelers summer vacation’s over, training camp begins today. First day at work, 4 players—Aaron Rodgers, Drew Allar, Mason Rudolph and Will Howard—all competing for one job, with a new boss, Mike McCarthy, directing the proceedings this season. Aaron Rodgers recently joined the team the other day, spending the offseason hemming and hawing about a […]

Tuesday night, the 2026 MLB All-Star game. Not the most exciting game in baseball history, one team overwhelmed at the plate, pressure didn’t make many diamonds. But New York Yankees star outfielder Cody Bellinger threw the first, loudest punch. 2 RBI first inning. MVP as the AL wins 4-1 over the NL. Belli & Ben […]

About a lunar cycle ago, Alyssa Thomas faced a 1-game suspension following an uncalled foul against Caitlin Clark, accidentally elbowing Clark above the shoulders in the midst of a fray for the loose ball. No foul was called in the quick action, but after the internet vilified Alyssa Thomas for “attacking” Caitlin, the league stepped […]
