Short-Sleeping Psycho Adam Gase Hits The Smelling Salts Ahead Of Preseason Kickoff
Adam Gase is a sleep-deprived maniac who powers himself through each workday with “five or six 20-ounce cups” of coffee plus the occasional Red Bull, because his regular Football Man routine provides less than four hours of sleep per night. But on gamedays, when Gase needs that extra boost, it appea...

Dolphins Receiver Kenny Stills Calls Out Team Owner For Hosting Trump Fundraiser [Updates]
Miami Dolphins owner Stephen Ross is an old rich white guy, which means he is also a fan of Donald Trump, or at least he is the kind of person who appreciates Trump’s policies enough to throw the man a fancy fundraiser in the Hamptons. One person who does not appreciate Donald Trump, nor his boss co...
