It's annoyed me a ton over the last day. The only thing that recently helped was thinking about the folks who can afford to have their kids in hockey, travel for their games and get them the support to get them into the pros. The apolitical responses are annoying and sadly predictable.

Big Ten women’s basketball teams as contestants on The Traitors All 18 programs and their parallels from The Traitors

This article is for any fans of The Traitors, Big Ten women's basketball or if you're like me - both.

I give each conference program a cast member from the current season, with both seasons set to end this week.

FYI: there are Traitors spoilers!

Maybe next season they won't have creeps on it, so you can watch again.

Given how much discussion about this show happens in the media section at every game, this idea (and article) is amazing #Buckeyes

He didn’t really say much with all the words he used. A good NHL interview special.

Not even a backhanded β€œsorry if it offended you” real housewives apology.

β€œUS Hockey had us travel home together, so that means we didn’t disrespect them” is how I read his comments about the group being together in the cafeteria.

Calling everything β€œpolitical” as a negative, when planning a visit to the seat of political power in the US is wild.

My silly article is nearly 4,000 words, extremely niche and out there.

It is also done. I am excited to share it with you.

My lord there is a picture going around of a ghost of Johnny Gaudreau stopping a puck from going in the net during the gold medal game.

Can you folks not be weird for one day? One hour? A second or two?

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Your sport is set up for an absolute PR home run with one of the most popular television shows in recent history during an Olympic Year no less and when your sport is at the pinnacle of its popularity you decide to dabble in a little casual sexism with a dollop of fascism.

Hilary Knight has twice as many golds as them and four more medals in general than all of them.

So can we finally all agree on one thing?

3 lessons from No. 10 Ohio State women’s win over USC The Buckeyes were up big then fell hard on Sunday

The Buckeyes were out-sized on Sunday, but it was not a full-court press that swung the game in Ohio State’s favor.

That, a 40-year old record is about to be history and the team’s special bond:
