Giannis Antetokounmpo Could Reach Out From Milwaukee And Slap You With His Dumb Arms

Brent Musburger Praises Joe Mixon, Then Gets Angry At People Who Were Mad He Praised Joe Mixon
Early in tonight’s Sugar Bowl, Brent Musburger called Joe Mixon “one of the best” and said he hoped the Oklahoma running back, suspended a year for breaking four bones in a woman’s face, made it to the NFL. That upset a lot of people; Musburger then unwisely responded to the reaction....

Bills Interim Coach Says Tyrod Taylor's Benching Was A "Business Decision"

Marc-Andre Fleury Knocks One Out Of Midair
This is a remarkable, remarkably unorthodox save from Marc-Andre Fleury in the Penguins’ 5-2 win in New Jersey last night. Adam Henrique’s shot was deflected by Ian Cole and bounced up and over Fleury, who made a diving, flailing rescue with the blade of his stick to alley-oop it out of danger....
