For all intents and purposes, Aaron Rodgers won his argument with Green Bay Packers management in January. Even at the age of 37, his MVP season and performance in the postseason was more than enough to quell any hesitancy about his standing in 2021 and beyond. The campaign should have been over.  He had earned

MMA Weekly UFC 261 results: Usman sleeps Masvidal, Namajunas reclaims belt, and Shevchenko dominates Though UFC 261 featured three championship fights, that fact was largely overshadowed in the lead-up by the idea that it also marked the promotion’s first event since the pandemic struck that a sold-out venue full of fans would be allowed in

Associating the New York Knicks with competence is another twist in an NBA season full of them, but they’ve crossed respectability and are on the precipice of something greater. It’s not the classic tale of the sum being greater than its parts. They play hard consistently, are coached well by Tom Thibodeau and some of

Mac Jones beating Justin Fields. Tom Brady topping Patrick Mahomes. Immobile pocket passers beating the dual-threat stars. Tradition topping

Aaron Rodgers attempted 16 passes as a rookie. Patrick Mahomes threw 35, all in a meaningless Week 17 game. Tom Brady threw just three times in his debut year in New England. Rodgers is the NFL’s reigning MVP (his third). Mahomes is considered the game’s best player (and a former MVP). Brady is himself a

Shohei Ohtani’s 1.04 ERA through two starts this year belies the incredible angst that it’s taken to get there. You know that, of course, if you watched Tuesday night’s Los Angeles Angels game — Ohtani’s first on the mound in over two weeks. The results showed a scoreless outing — kept short by design —

When Washington’s NFL franchise decided to drop its longstanding nickname last year, it inserted a placeholder that was so bland and boring it didn’t seem real: Washington Football Team. At first, it sounded laughable. It was like the marketing department worker in charge of coming up with a name forgot to do the assignment, and
