Would Charles Barkley Just STFU Already?
As anyone with a TV set or access to Blu Ivy’s internet is acutely aware of by now, Charles Barkley lives to say stupid things. Whether it’s joining forces with Candace Owens to be loud and wrong about defunding the police, threatening women with physical violence, or just making painfully obtuse observations about race, it’s…

Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian On Racist History of School Song: 'That's Our Song, We're Fired Up to Sing It'
Brand spanking new Texas coach Steve Sarkisian is on top of the world—or rather, he should be. But not even 48 hours removed from playing an integral role in Alabama’s 18th national title as the Crimson Tide’s offensive coordinator—yes, that was him who orchestrated Devonta Smith’s historic reign of terror—the 46-year-old stepped into a steaming…

OK, So James Harden Is a Net. Now What?
Much like every other member of his team, Rockets center Boogie Cousins was fed up. “The disrespect started way before any interview,” he fumed to reporters on Wednesday.

Nate Robinson, Donald Trump and Other Celebs I Would Looooove to See Lamar Odom Fight In His 1st Celebrity Boxing Match
I would imagine that there’s an extremely short list of professional athletes who watched Nate Robinson get his wig split in November by YouTuber Jake Paul and immediately thought, “I wanna get laid out by a bootleg celebrity, too!” But since fate can’t be denied, apparently former NBA star Lamar Odom is ready to embrace…

John Wall Claps Back After James Harden Insists the Rockets 'Just Aren’t Good Enough'
Rappers hate confrontation. They’ll hit the booth and fire off subliminal jabs all day, but when pressed for an explanation, they typically swear their vitriol has been misconstrued—that is until they get fed up.

Bill Belichick Leaves Trump on Read. Oh, and PGA Golf Wants Nothing to Do With Trump's Ass Either
If Trump had to choose between social media, golf, or being a compassionate, principled president, you already know he’d unleash the Twitter fingers. But with Twitter no longer an option—though the same could be said for Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, and just about every other platform that requires an Internet connection—I guess that leaves him with…

Punks Jump Up to Get Beat Down: Alabama Slaps Up Ohio State for 18th National Football Title
There are certain things in life that are inevitable. Taxes are a great example, as is horrendous customer service. But when it comes to sports, after decades of empirical evidence, it’s safe to assume that Nick Saban will hoist up the College Football Playoff National Championship Trophy at the conclusion of every college football season.…

OK, NBA. Enough Is Enough
As one of the chosen few lucky enough to have NBA League Pass and NFL Sunday Ticket, I’ve made it my mission in life to ignore sunlight and other basic human needs in order to consume as many games as humanly possible. But on Saturday night, I refused to partake in the shitshow that was…
