Washington Football Lobbyists
The Washington Football Team (WFT), I prefer a more fitting acronym WTF, following the media reports detailing the long running egregious behavior of the owner and upper management; could possibly be changing its name to The Commanders.

Women Like Sports, too. Top Story - January 2022.
I love sports. I absolutely adore them. I have three teams I root for passionately and religiously. I have my superstitions the day the play their games. When I was much younger I issued to collect jerseys like it was going out of style. I have been to multiple games live and up close. I’m an entire woman. And a proud black one at that. I was born in the 80s so I grew up on the Showtime Lakers and the Lasorda Dodgers. I grew up a Raiders and Rams fan but when they both left Los Angeles, I found a new team to adore back in 1994…The Green Bay Packers. I was at my uncle’s house and the Packers were playing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (back when both teams were in the same division), the QB of the Packers who wore #4 was just flinging the ball all over the field. His attitude seemed to be maybe Sterling Sharpe catches it or maybe The Bucs DB catches it. I guess we’ll all find out together. A gunslinger they called him. Favre was on the back. I said, “How do you pronounce that?” My uncle side eyed me and said it’s pronounced “Farv”. Brett Favre? Okay, well I like the way he plays. And also the Minister of Defense, Reggie White (I remember when he played for the Philadelphia Eagles) was on the other side? Oh I’m in!

Just win baby
Let's go, Raiders! Finally, as of Sunday 1/9/2022 the Las Vegas Raiders have punched their ticket to the 2021-2022 NFL playoffs. The Raiders clinched their Wildcard spot in an insane OT win over the LA Chargers. Just a quick refresher for context of how this could have played out. Either team wins they eliminate the loser from the playoffs and the Steelers get in. They tie and they both get in, but the Steelers are eliminated from the playoffs. At first the Raiders seemed like they had this game in the bag, until Justin Herbert decided he just didn't feel like losing that night. Multiple 4th and long conversions in the last 5 minutes of the game, and a touchdown in literally the last seconds to tie the game for overtime. Both teams get field goals and now it's Raiders ball. The Raiders are running down the clock running the ball, and according to Carr and Bisaccia they were prepared to just take the tie. That was until LA called a time out, so the Raiders decided to just go for the game winning kick and take playoff ticket if LA didn't want to tie.

WTF?!?!: Why Terminate Flores
In the afterglow of what counts as a successful season for the Miami Dolphins (winning record and a sweep of the Patriots) I wake up bleary eyed to news of head coaches getting fired. Orienting myself in the time of year, I am not surprised. The shock came from who was fired. Brian Flores, Head Coach of the Miami Dolphins for the last 3 years, has been relieved of his duties. Shock is a bit of an understatement. As I sift through texts, phone calls, and DMs asking about my opinion or knowledge of the incident, I find myself in an odd position. On the one hand: Flores has achieved something that hasn't been achieved since the 2004 season (back to back winning seasons) and has swept the AFC east rival Patriots for the first time in 21 years. On the other hand, the Dolphins have ridden ho-hum seasons to 20 years with exactly 0 playoff wins.

Movie Review: 'National Champions' Lays Out the Case to Pay College Football Players. Top Story - December 2021.
National Champions aims to tell the story of how College Football exploits players. It’s a compelling bit of polemic on behalf of the players as the story gives strong voice to the complaints that many have had regarding the millions of dollars given to coaches and the billions of dollars raked in by universities and conferences that do little to benefit the young men laying their bodies on the line to actually earn that money.
