Burnley Manager Denies Eating Worms But Admits To Sucking On Them
Burnley manager Sean Dyche seems like the kind of guy who would munch on a big bowl of tree bark, rocks, and beetles for breakfast every morning and make a big show of it if for no other reason than to prove how much of a hardass he is. Thus it wasn’t too much of a stretch to believe a former teamma...
Bucks Coach Jason Kidd: We're Not Very Good Because Our Players Aren't 25 Yet

Jordan Bell’s first start of the month started in the cruelest way possible.
