It’s official: Joe Burrow has the entire football world (and, let’s be honest, a solid chunk of the non-football world) in a chokehold. The Bengals’ franchise QB isn’t just an elite talent—he’s a full-on cultural phenomenon.  Whether you’re a die-hard fan, a casual observer, or just someone who’s seen his photos floating around your social […]

Performance-enhancing drugs (PEDs) have long been a controversial topic in sports. While some athletes saw their reputations tarnished beyond repair, others managed to remain cultural icons despite their transgressions.  Whether through undeniable talent, redemption arcs, or sheer dominance, these athletes left a lasting impact on their respective sports—even after being caught using PEDs. 1.

Let’s face it: not all Major League Baseball stadiums are created equal. Some are absolute cathedrals of the sport, while others… well, they look like they’ve been left in the sun for too long, kind of like that hot dog you regret eating in the seventh inning.  While we all love a good dose of

The NFL Draft is a time of hope, excitement, and—if you’re a Jets fan—inevitable heartbreak. For every Peyton Manning, there’s a Ryan Leaf. For every Joe Burrow, there’s a JaMarcus Russell sipping on some purple drank. Some draft picks go on to win Super Bowls, while others go on to become cautionary tales in sports

Every few years, a front office convinces itself that this running back is different and throws a massive contract his way. More often

Ah, Texas Longhorns football. The self-proclaimed kings of college football, whether or not the record actually agrees. Love ‘em or (more likely) loathe ‘em, there’s no escaping the burnt orange brigade.  If you’ve ever had the misfortune of engaging with a Longhorns fan—or worse, watching them hype up a mediocre season—you already know why they’re

Let’s be honest—if you’re not an SEC fan, you’ve probably spent years rolling your eyes at SEC dominance while secretly wishing your team had just a sliver of that magic. It’s okay. We see you.  Whether it’s the never-ending championships, the absurd tailgating, or the fact that an 8-4 SEC team still gets more respect

Alabama football is like that one kid in class who always has the right answers, finishes tests early, and somehow manages to be the teacher’s favorite.  The Crimson Tide are a dynasty, a machine, and a never-ending source of frustration for anyone not wearing crimson and white. Love them or (more likely) hate them, Bama
