No Ohtani? No Judge? No problem. Even without the two biggest stars in the sport, Major League Baseball continues to prove why it has the single greatest All-Star game in American pro sports. Hell, MLB continues to prove why it has the single greatest All-Star week in American pro sports. The festivities started in earnest on Monday night at the Home Run Derby. To be fair, outside of Bryce Harper (and to a lesser extent, Kyle Schwarber), this year’s eight-man field didn’t hav

The Greatest Used Car Salesman in college football is at it again. The Colorado Buffaloes are a lemon, no matter what head coach Deion Sanders says. If the car was made in 1996, he’d tell you that means it qualifies as a classic. If the air conditioner was on the fritz, he’d remind you that the windows still roll up and down. If the horn didn’t work, he’d try to convince you that honking is poor manners anyhow. It should come as no surprise then that when Sanders was asked ho

“I am who I am. Take it or leave it. I’m not going to change my values and change my approach because someone feels uncomfortable.” – Jaylen Brown, Andscape (2016) The Boston Celtics sent shockwaves through the basketball world on Wednesday when they traded All-NBA forward Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George, two future first round picks and two future second round picks. Given that Brown was coming off a career season in which he averaged 28.7

“Darryn Peterson is the most talented player in this draft. That’s not a debate. But he’s also the most terrifying.” - Anonymous NBA general manager. When the Utah Jazz selected former University of Kansas superstar Darryn Peterson with the second overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, the message was clear: No risk, no reward. It was the second consecutive year that Utah used their lottery pick on a player who declined to visit the club during the pre-draft process. Recall form

You know what they say, ‘Scared money don’t make money’. We’ll, we’re about to find if NFL general managers feel the same way. Earlier this week, Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby, after a lengthy legal battle with both the NCAA and the Big 12 Conference, has officially declared for the 2026 NFL Supplemental Draft. Sorsby was initially ruled ineligible by the NCAA after it was discovered he made at least 2,900 bets and wagered approximately $90,000 on professional and col

When Patrick Mahomes put pen to paper on a reworked contract with the Kansas City Chiefs that will tie him to the franchise through 2033 at a tidy sum of $504.75 million, I was genuinely happy for him. Get that money, Pat. You deserve it. Hell, given what he’s already delivered to Kansas City since being becoming the starter in 2018 – 3 Super Bowl wins, 5 Super Bowl appearances, seven AFC Championship games, seven AFC West division titles – I’d have told him to ask for $700 m

Lost in all the pomp and circumstance surrounding the Los Angeles Rams’ acquisition of two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett – and the fantasy of a Rams defensive line potentially featuring Garrett and former Defensive Player of the Year Aaron Donald – is the feeling of perpetual sadness coming out of Cleveland. Browns fans haven’t had a lot to cheer about the last few years, but seeing Garrett terrorize opposing offenses has definitely been one of them. Now

As the final seconds ticked away in Game 4 of the Cleveland Cavaliers’ season-ending loss to the New York Knicks, thousands of Cavs fans begrudgingly shuffled their way out of Rocket Arena with the same single thought racing through their minds: LeBron James will save us again. This season, even at the ripe age of 41, LeBron proved he still has a lot left in the tank. He averaged 20.9 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.2 assists across 60 games acting as the de facto third option wit

After yet another drawn out decision-making process, Aaron Rodgers has agreed to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers on a one-year deal worth up to $25 million. The expectation is that 2026 will be the final season of Rodgers’ illustrious NFL career. All of which leads to one obvious question: Why??? To be fair, Rodgers wasn’t terrible in 2025. In Week 16, he threw for 266 yards and a touchdown in a gotta-have-it game against the Detroit Lions. Two weeks later, in Week 18, Rodg
