Sports & Whatever

Smart sports takes. Dumb outcomes. Cultural side quests.

Welcome to Sports & Whatever — where sports are the excuse, not the limit.

This is where college football loyalty disappears into the transfer portal, where NIL money talks louder than fight songs, and where every press conference sounds suspiciously like a corporate earnings call. We start with the game, but we never stop there.

Sports & Whatever covers the absurd side of modern sports culture: the money, the branding, the hypocrisy, the fan delusions, the media narratives, and the moments when everyone pretends this is still about tradition. Sometimes it’s satire. Sometimes it’s commentary. Sometimes it’s just pointing at something ridiculous and refusing to take it seriously.

If you still think sports are pure, you might hate it.
If you’ve noticed they’re not, you’ll feel right at home.
