Duke fell 24-20 to North Carolina, but on-field pushing and shoving between a player and a female trainers overshadowed the score.

Deion Sanders dodged accountability at his bye-week press conference, blaming everything but Colorado's collapse. Stephen A. Smith does the same, using race and victimhood to deflect from his own accountability problem. Brian Flores sues the NFL over a standard Korn Ferry scouting memo, calling commonplace coaching criticism racism because he wants no standard at all. Elle Duncan celebrates idol c...

A Cowboys stadium worker summarized Dallas’ performance on Thursday Night Football against the Buccaneers: “Embarrassing.” The comment irked Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott. Good.

Jason and the panel break down every aspect of the embarrassing loss, including the bizarre c...

Newly released bodycam video shows a 6-year-old shooting his teacher, then cursing her. Jason connects the profanity to rap nihilism mainstreamed by Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z, and others.

A belief unwilling to risk everything is preference, not convicti...

Whitlock then zooms out to the bigger cultural issue: Feminism promised women that p...
