The NFL and NBA subreddits went private today in protest against Reddit policies and Reddit co-founder and CEO Steve Huffman, known as u/spez on the website. When a user attempts to access the subreddit, they see the following messages from the moderators of the two communities: r/nfl / r/nba / These two subreddits make up some of the largest in the Reddit communities, and were active as recently as earlier this afternoon. The NFL subreddit will become public once more tomorrow. It will remain to be seen if the NBA subreddit does the same.

Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren both made their NBA debuts on Monday night as the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder met in a meaningless preseason game. As meaningless as it was though, it was pretty cool. These two players are extremely tall and if their first taste of preseason action was any indication, extremely skilled. Just watch the highlights.They are so damn tall. To oversimplify it way too much, they both look like thin adults playing on a toy hoop against children. They don't need to jump to rebound or dunk or block shots. They can both reach the rim from an absurd...…Victor Wembanyama and Chet Holmgren both made their NBA debuts on Monday night as the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder met in a meaningless preseason game.

Well, it finally happened. Like Icarus flying too close to the sun on wings of backdoor covers, we crashed and burned last week, going 1-5 to drop the season's overall record to 17-13. It was bound to happen and yet still stings a bit knowing that we misled you, the reader. The lesson here is to never bet anything that's not the Detroit Lions. In the interest of righting the ship and the pocketbook, here are our best picks for Week 6. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. What Dan Campbell's team is doing both in the win-loss department and in the covering-the-spread department is truly...…Well, it finally happened.

Welcome to The Big Lead's weekly start 'em, sit 'em column. We are here to dig into the toughest decisions you may be facing for your fantasy matchup this week and give you answers. Some of those answers may even be right!Presenting our Week 6 start 'em, sit 'em calls.You already know everything in New England is broken. The Patriots are awful and everything is going wrong. But it would be fair to hesitate before sidelining Stevenson given he was a high-end RB2/low-end RB1 last season and was drafted accordingly. He started off the year okay but has gotten worse each game since Week 2 and...…Welcome to The Big Lead's weekly start 'em, sit 'em column.

The Los Angeles Dodgers won a hell of a lot of baseball games this season but it's looking more and more like none of that will matter as the Arizona Diamondbacks have come into Chavez Ravine and taken the first two games of the NLDS series. Clayton Kershaw did the thing were he wilted under the postseason lights in the opener and last night, Zac Gallen and the D-Backs bullpen rose to every occasion. With their beloved team now on the brink of elimination, spectators at Dodger Stadium were forced to process some really heavy shit out in public and perhaps after two too many $14 ballpark...…The Los Angeles Dodgers won a hell of a lot of baseball games this season but it's looking more and more like none of that will matter as the Arizona Diamondbacks have come into Chavez Ravine and taken the first two games of the NLDS series.

After losing to the Kansas City Chiefs at home this weekend, the Minnesota Vikings' 2023 season is not just teetering on the brink. It's just about in the tank. Sitting at 1-4, a full three games behind the Detroit Lions, the Vikings were going to be hard-pressed to make an unlikely postseason run-- and that was before the news arrived on Tuesday morning that superstar Justin Jefferson was hitting the IR with a hamstring injury. There will be many ripple effects from this news, but the biggest could be the future of Cousins in a Vikings uniform. He is effectively a free agent next offseason...…After losing to the Kansas City Chiefs at home this weekend, the Minnesota Vikings' 2023 season is not just teetering on the brink.
