And this:

...and this:

Poor Omar Speights, man. Couldn’t catch a break.

Rams’ DC Chris Shula comes from Buffalo, where the body composition of their defensive line is very similar to those in Los Angeles....

This game is all about how the Lions defend another scrambling QB in Jayden Daniels. To keep it quite simple, Jayden Daniels IS the engine that keeps the Commanders’ offense going. Whether it be his steadily growing golf clubs he has as a passer or the force he is as a runner, the Commanders’ offense lives and dies on his ability.

There are two aspects of this...

The jersey from Victor Wembanyama’s iconic jersey swap with a child is now up for auction

This is just sad.

Nothing is sacred anymore. On December 24, Victor Wembanyama gave us one of the great jersey swaps of all time when a young fan holding a sign traded his tiny, youth-sized Wemby jersey for one about 40 sizes too big for him.

It was an iconic moment. Adorable in every way. A literal giant of a basketball player standing next to a child who was just taller than his knee. Unfortunately, nothing is sacred, and now the...

In the show, that work looks a bit like an alternate reality take on Minesweeper, except the characters are attempting to find numbers that “feel scary,” even though they don’t know what that really means — and the cast is largely going...
