Month: October 2024

data-mm-id=”_p7tb8ui01″>Patrick Mahomes has appeared mortal only a handful of times so far in his young NFL career. There was the time he got hurt in October 2019, which was jarring because it was the first even semi-serious injury of his young career, and at least on my end I sort of unconsciously assumed he was immune to that sort of thing. Otherwise, the only instances where Mahomes looked like he was just another guy all came in games against the New England Patriots. It was more of the same during Monday night's game. His Kansas City Chiefs won, which is all that matters, but Mahomes didn't play well. By his standards, he was awful. He completed 19 of 29 passes for 236 yards. He's credited with two touchdowns, but both were pitches off reverses to a player a foot in…

data-mm-id=”_feezetq5d”>The UFC is looking to crack down on piracy on the the most expensive card in UFC history this Saturday. With the UFC and ESPN teaming up to jack the permanent price of pay-per-views to $69.99 plus the price of an ESPN+ subscription during a pandemic, illegal streams are a major concern. That's why UFC president Dana White is looking to make an example out of a streamer this weekend. He first gave some details at a press conference on Thursday.

data-mm-id=”_bwr1psvp7″>Henry Rowengartner wrote a song about American Pie. There's really no other way to say it. Actor (and musician) Thomas Ian Nicholas, who starred in Rookie of the Year and played Kevin in the American Pie movies, has recorded a parody of Bowling For Soup's hit "1985" called "1999" and it's all about the events of the first American Pie movie, which was released on July 9, 1999.Today is the day. My song #1999 featuring #BowlingForSoup is out now! https://t.co/TAx19YLKO9 pic.twitter.com/pTeon7KdqF— Thomas Nicholas (@TINBand) July 9, 2022The song was born back in December when Nicholas was a guest on lead singer Jaret Reddick's pocast. The two discussed a version of the song about the movie and Nicholas went and wrote it. Bo…

data-mm-id=”_hclhgr1gq”>Imagine paying an ungodly amount of money to be within a lob wedge's distance of country superstar Miranda Lambert at her Las Vegas residency, getting excited about the moment and choosing to preserve it with a selfie. Then imagine the very person you came to see completely stopping a song to call you out in front of thousands and deliver a lecture about the importance of country music. That became a reality for some unfortunate fans on Saturday night and there's no way in the world it wasn't completely mortifying. Miranda Lambert stops show to call out two fans taking a selfie:“These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song, it’s pissing me off a little bit. Sorry, I don’t like it at all. We’re here to hear some …

data-mm-id=”_wnhmochy0″>Over the summer, the Indianapolis Colts revealed their new alternate uniforms for the 2023 NFL season and they looked terrible. In fact, they looked so bad an article was published on this very website lambasting the design and color scheme. Today the Colts debuted those uniforms for the first time this season and they look even worse than anybody could've imagined. I mean come on. This is not the uniform of a serious professional football team. It looks like a high school knockoff of color rush uniforms. Or a Pac-12 After Dark special. We'll take that one. 📺 CBS pic.twitter.com/aY500lY6I4— Indianapolis Colts (@Colts) October 22, 2023Everybody knows black doesn't go with blue. Not even a hi-def camera highlighting the objectively co…

data-mm-id=”_1bv0irbna”>The Dallas Cowboys have not had a great start in their big matchup with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. They trailed 14-0 early in the second quarter and had already gotten into a fight. Things got even worse when Dak Prescott got absolutely lit up by a hit to the head after a scramble. With 12:15 left in the second quarter, Prescott and the Cowboys faced second-and-9 from their own 26-yard line. Prescott dropped back, found no one open, then scrambled for five yards. As he began to give himself up, Buffalo linebacker Tyrel Dodson hit Prescott in the head with what was obviously an illegal hit.Video below:The beach ball being thrown in the air by the fans as Dak takes a helmet-to-helmet hit on the field is a hilarious visual pic.twitter.com/ZB93ckec12— Ben B…

data-mm-id=”_70c0n4cco”>Full Swing, Netflix's golf documentary series, returns for its second season today. It will deal with the fallout from the LIV – PGA Tour merger that both rocked the world of golf and, uh, still seems kind of up in the air right now, nine months later. I personally can't wait for season three to come out so we can see the golfers reacting to seeing their reactions to something that still hasn't happened a year from now after it officially did or didn't happen.Anyway, they also spoke to Paulina Gretzky ahead of the 2023 U..S Open, which was held in Los Angeles. In this official clip, Gretzky explains that she is from Los Angeles and has a good relationship with her husband, Dustin Johnson."I love traveling with Dustin. I love being there …

data-mm-id=”_mfmn7v44z”>JJ Redick's hiring by the Los Angeles Lakers elevated him from broadcaster/podcaster to NBA head coach. It also created an opening on ESPN's top NBA broadcast crew.On Friday, The Athletic's Andrew Marchand reported that the network is taking steps toward filling that job opening. ESPN is considering four candidates to take Redick's spot next to play-by-play announcer Mike Breen and trailblazing analyst Doris Burke — Jay Bilas, Grant Hill, Richard Jefferson and Tim Legler.Each candidate has varying levels of basketball broadcast expertise. Each would bring something different to a three-person booth with the professorial Breen and the astute Burke.So let's rank each candidate, gauging the pros and cons, in an attempt to determine who wo…
