The new year barely started and the sports universe already said, “Buckle up.” We’re kicking off 2026 with conspiracy boards lit, tempers flaring, and a couple of very familiar names landing themselves back in Biggest Pickle territory.Rewind (…Sort Of):We’re dusting off the tinfoil hats because something about the Denny Hamlin situation has us raising eyebrows. After the tragic house fire on December 28th that left his father, Dennis Hamlin, with life‑threatening injuries, the timeline and the circumstances have fans whispering. And the big question we can’t ignore: Who does Hamlin race for? Connect the dots however you want—we’re just asking the questions.News Rundown:- DK Metcalf is out for the final two games after an altercation with a Lions fan who called him by his actual legal name. Apparently “Dekaylin” is now a slur in DK’s world. Blue wig snatched, punch thrown, excuses made, and videos everywhere. If you hate your name that much… there are forms for that.  - Jose Alvarado (Pelicans) and Mark Williams (Suns) both earned suspensions after a December 27th on‑court dust‑up. Two games for Alvarado, one for Williams—holiday spirit clearly did not make it to the hardwood.  - Ole Miss freshman DB Dante Core was arrested on December 26th after being clocked at 110 mph in Alabama. The speeding wasn’t the real problem—what police smelled and found in the car was. Marijuana, paraphernalia, and a $1000 bond later, we’re left wondering if this is a detour or the end of his college career before it even starts.Biggest Pickle of the Week:We’ve got repeat offenders. Again.  This week’s crown goes to Stefon Diggs and Christian Barmore, two New England Patriots players who just can’t seem to stay out of the pickle jar. You’ve heard their names here before, and somehow they’ve managed to outdo themselves.

This week’s episode rewinds the chaotic final days of Sherrone Moore’s tenure, as five women—speaking anonymously and not alleging anything criminal—describe a pattern of uncomfortable interactions with the former coach.

The investigation rolls on.And finally, this week’s Biggest Pickle: Brian Smith. The former Ohio University football coach managed to turn his office into a low‑budget Mad Men set—bourbon drawer included—before a string of letters, reprimands, and an investigation into an alleged relationship with a student ended in his firing. He’s 45, looks older, and apparently thought dating someone college‑aged was a brilliant life choice. Smith is fighting the dismissal, but the timeline is… a lot.It’s a full plate of sports chaos, questionable decisions, and the kind of stories that make you wonder how any of these people thought this would end well.
