For 93.75 percent of NFL teams their season is over. Those 80,000-seat stadiums will be largely empty until Taylor Swift’s tour makes its visit. The team facility, however, that’s a different story. It will be buzzing with activity between now and September, as NFL franchises look to improve. Once free agency opens up the money machine will be spraying harder and faster than ever before in the NFL. The NFL salary cap will be taking a significant jump in 2023, from $208.2 million to an all-time record high of $224 million, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero. The NFL redid its media rights deals in 2021, and the new terms begin for the 2023 season. While television rights are in flux in many other North American sports with Diamond Sports Group — the company…
The NFL’s schedule release is, well, on schedule. There may not be a season come September 10. But tonight, football fans can pretend that there will be. And so will we. Instead of watching a three-hour made-for-TV video conference about which team got screwed, or what the Bills bye week means for the playoff picture, we’ve compiled a list of games to mark on your calendar. Use a pencil just in case. Games to watch: Week 1Houston @ Kansas City Opening night in the NFL gives us a rematch of the AFC divisional round. In that game, the Texans blew a 21-point lead and lost to the eventual Super Bowl champion Chiefs. Expect Houston to come out swinging and, maybe, give us the first upset of the year. Tampa Bay @ New Orleans This game will mark the first divisional meeting between Bree…
Shaina’s mom: Diana’s mom: Articles appear to be designed for the under 30 group !!! Megan’s mom: I am not a big sports fan – but what I like about Deadspin is a perspective on sports that is part social commentary, part humor, and a large measure of political commentary. It’s one of the the few places I see a woman’s perspective in equal measure to a more privileged male perspective. The insider language is sometimes beyond me but the ideas are always fresh. Megan’s dad: I think Deadspin does a good job at what they do. I don’t think of it as a news source, but rather a commentary site for sports. Kind of like PEOPLE magazine is to the movie/tv industry. I find the platform difficult to manipulate. It’s some what counterintuitive. You’re also correct in assu…
Minkah Fitzpatrick is now out of tonight’s LSU-Alabama game, but not before targeting Russell Gage’s dick and balls as the Tigers receiver tried to hurdle the All-American:

Carlisle United have been struggling. The club playing in England's 4th division have gone winless in their last five, including yesterday's 3-1 home loss to Accrington. Manager Keith Curle is fed up with his players, and decided to
call them out in the media for their main deficiency: only a few of them have "male genitalia."
The video above includes the bulk of his comments on BBC Radio, where he complains about how "soft" and "weak" his players are, but if you want to skip ahead to the cock-and-balls talk, go to about the 2:25 mark. There, he recounts a conversation he had in the locker room:
I'm speaking to the players and the players say, "Well, we've got to play people that have got the …" uhh … uhhhhh … h…
A collection of highlights and occasional lowlights from 2011, a year of triple plays, juggling catches, buzzer beaters, record-setting performances, Abby Wambach, "We will see you tomorrow night," fathers dropping daughters to catch foul balls, and old men punching each other silly.

data-mm-id=”_ujuv1bph9″>The Cleveland Browns have been a disappointment. At this point, that statement is longer opinion, it is fact. Around the NFL, opinions were quite high before the season, and Cleveland was expected to compete for an AFC North title and, at the very least, a playoff spot. Reality has now checked the Browns into the boards, and they're struggling to recover. They sit at 2-3 with statistically below-average units on both sides of the ball. Baker Mayfield has completed 55 percent of his passes this year for an average of seven yards per attempt and thrown eight interceptions to four touchdowns. The Browns' prized offseason acquisition, Odell Beckham Jr., may as well be invisible, and has caught all of 23 passes for 335 yards and one touchdown. Thus, the cri…
data-mm-id=”_rxdyr85zm”>In what is very likely his final season as an NFL player, Eli Manning will get at least one last start. Pat Shurmur said Daniel Jones is unlikely to play this coming Monday against the Eagles after suffering a sprained ankle against the Packers, which means Manning will re-take his starting position. This will be a minor footnote in the grand scheme of Manning's career. But the Giants have more than one might think riding on his performance this week. In the latter half of his career, Manning has been quite inconsistent. The worst thing that could happen to the Giants right now would be for Manning to suddenly decide to pull a rabbit out of his hat and win some games as New York jockeys for position at the top of the draft pole. Sure, beating the Eagles wou…
data-mm-id=”_63cwod96n”>The prevailing assumption as the NBA's return date approaches is that the actual basketball will probably be ugly to start. Players without a basket or some kind of court in their home (A.K.A the vast majority of them) went months without getting shots up. While it seems unlikely anyone will be walking into Orlando without having touched a basketball since March, everyone will be rusty. The equalizing factor is that all players on all teams will be starting on more or less equal footing on that regard. Right?Well, maybe not. Bill Simmons and J.J. Redick discussed a rumor they've been hearing about how the Los Angeles Lakers have secretly been practicing at "some rich guy's" house in Los Angeles. Neither can confirm the rumor is true, but…
data-mm-id=”_o36m9d3m8″>The Dallas Cowboys have yet to come to an agreement on a contract extension with Dak Prescott, and it could be for any number of reasons, whether it's the impending cap spike a few years down the road or that it's difficult to nail down Prescott's true value as a player. As the date for Prescott to sign his franchise tag approaches, fans will understandably grow more and more nervous that negotiations will eventually transform into a holdout with no end in sight. Emmitt Smith doesn't think there's anything to worry about. He went on 105.3 The Fan to explain that, while he's not surprised the deal isn't done yet, the Cowboys will figure it out eventually because they aren't afforded the opportunity to play chicken with thei…
