Bill Simmons is done pretending Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon being on the sideline isn’t bonkers
Indianapolis Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon has been a fixture on the sideline in recent seasons, and Bill Simmons has had just about enough of it. Irsay-Gordon took over as principal owner and CEO of the Colts after her father, longtime owner Jim Irsay, passed away in 2025. While she was already heavily involved in the…
David Ortiz declares Padres-Brewers NLDS ‘over’ after Game 2
The National League Division Series between the San Diego Padres and the Milwaukee Brewers is televised on FS1, but one MLB on Fox analyst thinks you have no reason to tune in to the rest of the series.

CBS sideline reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala says Trey McBride said ‘please’ before official’s profane outburst
By one eyewitness’s account, Trey McBride was the most polite person in his argument with an NFL official on Sunday. That’s according to CBS sideline reporter Aditi Kinkhabwala, who was standing within earshot when line judge Jeff Seeman seemingly lost his temper with the Cardinals’ star tight end in the fourth quarter of Sunday’s loss…

Eagles fans unleash on Nick Sirianni on local news after collapse vs. Rams
CBS News Philadelphia reporter Eva Andersen already has multiple Emmys to her name.

Inside Lincoln Financial Field on Sunday, the Philadelphia Eagles found themselves in a 4th-and-goal. They held a 20-10 lead…
Paul Finebaum, Matt Barrie stick a fork in Deion Sanders’ Colorado era
Three years ago, Deion “Coach Prime” Sanders and his Colorado Buffaloes had a monopoly on sports media and culture at large. That feels like eons ago now. Colorado laid an egg against No. 12 Texas Tech, losing 29-7 on Saturday and falling to 2-3 on the season. Matt Barrie and Paul Finebaum have seen enough.…

NBC goes all in on Mike Tomlin’s Minecraft era on ‘Football Night In America’
Mike Tomlin is thriving in studio on NBC’s Football Night in America and in Minecraft, and his two new worlds collided on Sunday night.

On Thursday night, Prime Video caught a profanity-laced exchange between Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers and head coach Mike McCarthy, who later regretted his language.

Jalen Hurts caught cursing out his receiver during Eagles-Rams game
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts is known for his smooth attitude and Hallmark press conference quotes, but he briefly lost his cool during the Eagles’ first offensive series against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. “Get off the f*cking ball! Come on!” Hurts yelled toward his receivers at the line of scrimmage, as heard on…
Terry Bradshaw makes literal mess of things on ‘Fox NFL Sunday,’ blames Curt Menefee
Terry Bradshaw has been making messes during Fox NFL Sunday for some time now, just usually not this literal. While previewing Sunday’s showdown between the Denver Broncos (2-1) and San Francisco 49ers (3-0), Bradshaw was so intensely worked up talking about Denver’s comeback the week prior that he knocked over a coffee cup to his…
Bill Belichick’s third-down comments to Taylor McGregor couldn’t have been more ill-timed
When you interview Bill Belichick during a football game, you risk him leaving you hanging or giving you nothing to work with. Right before the second quarter in Saturday’s game between Belichick’s North Carolina and Notre Dame, Belichick ended up giving sideline reporter Taylor McGregor some gold, just not in the way he’d intended. The…
NFL writer Arif Hasan on his viral Jameis Winston column: ‘I have been thinking about this one for a while’
Some view New York Giants quarterback Jameis Winston as fun-loving and goofy, while others see him quite differently. The Heisman Trophy winner and a former No. 1 overall draft pick never lived up to expectations in the NFL. However, after Jaxson Dart’s season-ending injury, he is now the New York Giants’ starting quarterback. He’s also…

Rules analyst Terry McAulay says refs got game-changing call in massive FCS upset wrong
In the biggest college football upset you might have missed this weekend, previously winless Idaho took down FCS No. 1 Montana State in dramatic fashion on Friday night at the Kibbie Dome.

Tony Romo reportedly ‘likely’ to collect good portion of remaining CBS money after settlement

Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla desperately needs a good PR person
It’s fair to say that Seattle Seahawks owner Vinod Khosla and I have something in common: we’re both fairly unfamiliar with how things work in each other’s fields. Admittedly, I wasn’t very familiar with him before he and his ownership group agreed to purchase the Seahawks for a record $9.612 billion in July. I’ve since…
