Lizzo has become one of the most popular artists in music. Part of her gimmick is Lizzo promoting body positivity and obesity. At the same time...Lizzo also complains when she receives criticism about her weight. Over the weekend...Lizzo uploaded a video to Instagram where she goes on a tirade against her "haters".

We reveal and react to the Lizzo tirade. We discuss the hypocrisy of promoting obesity...then complaining when people notice your weight. We question why obesity is being promoted...and criticize Lizzo for being the face of this body positivity movement.

The Houston Texans parting ways with Lovie Smith has brought the expected fake outrage from the mainstream media. However...Stephen A Smith took a completely different approach when reacting to the firing of Lovie Smith.

We reveal and react to the remarks of Stephen A Smith. For years...Stephen A Smith has complained about the lack of black head coaches in the NFL and is now demanding they refuse to take the Texans job. We also react to Bomani Jones...claiming the only reason Lovie Smith was hired by the Texans is because no self-respecting white man would take the job.

Brittney Griner returned home safely to America last month...after spending most of the year in a Russian prison. In honor of her triumphant return to America...AZ Central decided to name Brittney Griner the Arizonan of the Year.

We reveal and react to AZ Central naming Brittney Griner Arizonan of the Year. We take a look at past honorees...and discuss how they actually accomplished something to achieve this award. We offer our suggestion as to who should've been honored...and explain why honoring Brittney Griner is disrespectful to the should-be winners.

The tenure of Lovie Smith as the head coach of the Houston Texans...ended after one season late Sunday night. The Houston Texans announced they were parting ways with Lovie Smith after a 3-13-1 season. This announcement was met with the typical fake outrage...from RGIII and other members of the mainstream media.

We reveal and react to several remarks from members of the media...to the departure of Lovie Smith. We discuss how constant fake outrage from the media actually hinders minority head coaches in the NFL. We compare the reaction to Lovie Smith...to the lack of reaction given to coaches like Nathaniel Hackett...who were also fired after one season.

Olivia Dunne has built a sizable following on social media...gaining millions of followers with her pictures and videos. Although business is booming for Olivia Dunne...her profile is having a negative impact on her fellow athletes.

We react to the behavior of Olivia Dunne fanboys at an event in Utah Friday night. We discuss how this behavior used to be the norm for young women...but is now becoming the norm for young men. We compare this behavior to how young men behaved in past generations...and question how we got here.

Over the last couple of months...Stephen A Smith on multiple occasions has seemingly dropped hints at an eventual departure from ESPN. Earlier this week on the Pat McAfee show...Stephen A Smith subtly hinted again that his time at ESPN could be coming to an end.

Most normal people shared similar reactions to what happened with Damar Hamlin on Monday Night Football...but the mainstream media has used the situation as another attempt to takedown the NFL. The ladies of The View put that attempt on full display Wednesday morning.

We reveal and react to the remarks from Joy Behar on The View. We dispute Joy Behar claim that football is supported mostly by conservative men...by providing evidence to the contrary. We also discuss a recent article in the Daily Mail...which claims Whoopi Goldberg pushes the live audience at The View to give her more praise and adulation than her co-hosts.

Sports Media Watch released their list of the 50 most-watched sporting events in 2022. Unsurprisingly...the NFL dominated the list taking 45-of-50 slots. However...there were a couple of surprising factors when it came to the NBA.

We reveal and react to Sports Media Watch 50 most-watched sporting events. We compare the list in 2022 to 2019...when the NBA was able to somewhat compete with the NFL. We explain why NBA ratings are struggling...and use a recent clip of Gregg Popovich as an example.

Erin Andrews is one of the most universally respected women in sports media. Over the last 20 years...Erin Andrews has worked to gain the respect of both NFL players and fans. Which might be the reason...she has an issue with ESPN reporters like Jenna Laine.

We reveal and react to the remarks from Erin Andrews...we're assuming are about Jenna Laine. We discuss the contrasting styles of Erin Andrews and Jenna Laine. We also question why the mainstream media praises women like Jenna Laine and Jemele Hill...while largely ignoring Erin Andrews and Charissa Thompson.

ESPN continued their subpar coverage of the NFL Tuesday afternoon on Around the Horn. Courtney Cronin was one of the panelists on Around the Horn...and compared the tragic incident with Damar Hamlin to September 11th.
