Phil Simms has some advice for Russell Wilson at CBS
Russell Wilson spent 14 seasons in the NFL mastering the art of saying almost nothing at all. Now he’ll have to make a living by saying exactly what he thinks. Wilson officially retired last week to join CBS’s The NFL Today, turning down a contract offer from the New York Jets to make his second…
The case for and against Pat McAfee’s $60M ESPN deal
Pat McAfee is set to become the highest-paid talent in sports media. Well, kind of.

Charles Barkley hopes ESPN fires him over Cardi B comment

Donald Trump further escalates war of words with Stephen A. Smith
Unfortunately for the rest of us, Donald Trump continues to fixate on Stephen A. Smith’s IQ. The back-and-forth between the president and the First Take host started when Smith publicly urged Trump not to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals at Madison Square Garden, saying he was worried about the chaos the visit would…
Chris Berman hints at hosting one last ‘SportsCenter’
The story of how ESPN was built cannot be told without Chris Berman, but Boomer is coming to the end of his historic broadcasting career at the Worldwide Leader. Before he shuffles off that leather jacket, Berman thinks it might be in the cards to return to where it all began one more time. Berman…
How New York Soccer Journal rose from the ashes of Hudson River Blue
For as long as Hudson River Blue existed, the site did something that no outlet in the Tri-State Area with a larger staff and bigger budget ever quite managed to pull off: it showed up.

Expert: Mike Vrabel’s Dianna Russini scandal strategy ‘is a disaster’
The winds have died down around the Mike Vrabel-Dianna Russini controversy, but that doesn’t mean the New England Patriots coach is out of the woods yet.

Michael Wilbon, Tony Kornheiser see Texas Tech-Brendan Sorsby boycotts as hypocrisy
Thanks to a state court injunction, Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is currently set to become the first U.S. athlete who admitted to betting on his own team and be allowed to continue playing. Texas Tech was thrilled by the news, but just about everyone else in college football is horrified or disgusted. That’s led…
Terry Bradshaw runs circles around Joe Rogan over ivermectin COVID treatment claims
Terry Bradshaw is a legend on the football field and in NFL broadcasting, but we hope it’s not too disrespectful to say he hasn’t exactly developed a reputation for being an intellectual giant, especially in recent years. In that respect, credit is due to Joe Rogan, who somehow managed to sound less mentally acute than…
The Ringer’s David Jacoby delivers bizarre Victor Wembanyama screed: ‘I hate everything about him’
Victor Wembanyama has sparked intense animosity among a certain segment of New York Knicks fans during the NBA Finals, one that seemingly extends to the media as well.

Aaron Glenn on Jets having no primetime games in 2026: ‘You earn the right’
The New York Jets are one of five teams with no primetime games on the 2026 NFL schedule, which feels about right for the franchise that has spent the better part of 15 years finding new ways to disappoint the largest sports market in the country. Aaron Glenn, for his part, isn’t dwelling on it.…
‘Green light to bet’: Dan Patrick rips Texas Tech for being ‘hypocritical’ with QB Brendan Sorsby
The reinstatement of Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby is one of the most resoundingly unpopular sports stories to come around in a long time, and veteran radio host Dan Patrick is concerned about the precedent the university and its supporters are setting by supporting Sorsby despite what Patrick called “a pattern over years and years.”…
House Judiciary report could be toughest blow to NFL’s antitrust defense yet
The NFL has long defended Sunday Ticket’s pricing and structure as reasonable because the league contends it is a premium product geared toward avid fans.

Andrew Marchand thinks ESPN could pursue World Series rights when Fox’s deal expires
Could ESPN be coming for the World Series? That’s the question Andrew Marchand raised on his Marchand Sports Media podcast this week, and it’s not as far-fetched as it might sound.
