Shannon Sharpe Dunks On Ray Lewis For Qualming Over Colin Kaepernick
This morning on Second Take, former Baltimore Ravens players Shannon Sharpe and Ray Lewis debated the Ravens wringing their hands over whether or not signing Colin Kaepernick would hurt their brand. Lewis’s position on police brutality—such that he articulates a clear stance—is that it’s a scourge, ...
The Ravens Should Stop Dicking Around And Either Sign Colin Kaepernick Or Don't
At a fan forum on Sunday, Baltimore Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti answered a question about whether signing Colin Kaepernick would hurt the team’s image. Inherent in the question is the fact that Kaepernick’s play would be good for the team. Yes, the question assumes, Kaepernick is the best option to...
How To Mangle A Survey, By Darren Rovell<em></em>
If you merely scanned today’s Darren Rovell ESPN article on a new survey of NFL fans, you might be forgiven for coming away believing that fans are leaving in droves, turned off by the national anthem protests inspired by Colin Kaepernick. If you bothered to actually read the damn thing, you know t...
Broncos Linebacker Brandon Marshall Wonders Why Geno Smith Has A Job But Colin Kaepernick Doesn't
In an interview with TMZ Sports, Broncos linebacker Brandon Marshall, who played with Colin Kaepernick in college, raised the same question that many football fans have been asking this year: If guys like Geno Smith can get NFL jobs, why can’t Kaepernick?...

Michael Vick Suggests That NFL Teams Are Put Off By Colin Kaepernick's Hair [Update]
Colin Kaepernick still doesn’t have a job in the NFL. Could that be because he’s no longer a star, only an average starting quarterback, and the league has thus deemed him more trouble than he’s worth? Or is it because he won’t cut his afro? Former NFL QB Michael Vick suggested on All Takes Matter...
Unseeded Daniil Medvedev Upsets Stan Wawrinka In First Career Wimbledon Match<em></em>
Stan Wawrinka, the No. 5 seed at Wimbledon, fell in four sets to unseeded 21-year-old Daniil Medvedev, who claimed both his first career victory over a top-five player and first victory at Wimbledon....
The MMQB: Colin Kaepernick Needs To Explain Why He Deserves A Job
The Colin Kaepernick situation really isn’t that complicated. Either you believe he is better than a number of current NFL backup quarterbacks and therefore deserves a job, or you don’t. Either you believe that his outspoken political beliefs have earned him a league-wide blackballing, or you believ...
Sam Hinkie Leveraged The Orbit Of The Earth To Effectuate Snow Disruption
It’s been a good week for Sixers fans. The team used just one first-rounder from its draft-pick surplus to move up to the No. 1 spot in the NBA Draft, where it will take Markelle Fultz. That gives the team a young corps of Fultz, Ben Simmons, Dario Šarić, and, of course, Joel Embiid. No one really k...

Rafael Nadal Cruises To Record 10th French Open Title
Rafael Nadal won a record 10th French Open title today by making quick work of Stan Wawrinka, 6-2, 6-3, 6-1. Nadal faced one break point all day, and saved it. It was a brutal, dominating performance, and of a guy who just took out world number one Andy Murray, and notched a title of his own at Rola...
Root For Stan Wawrinka, The Artful Troll
At his peak, Stan Wawrinka might be the best tennis player alive, but that peak is hard to find. Sometimes—right after winning his third major and reaching his career-high ranking, say—he’s just a bed-headed lump, tumbling out of the first round of tournaments courtesy of the world No. 91 or 72. Thi...
How Did Umpires Declare This A Home Run?
Rays centerfielder Kevin Kiermaier’s defense has such a strong reputation that when he misplayed this fly ball in the first inning of Tampa Bay’s game Tuesday against the White Sox, umpires decided the ball must have struck one of Tropicana Field’s rings—and awarded batter Yolmer Sanchez a home run....
The NFL Machine Has Finally Beaten Colin Kaepernick<em></em>
This week, the Seahawks signed Austin Davis to back up Russell Wilson. I don’t need to tell you that Austin Davis is a shitty quarterback. He didn’t play a single snap in 2016, and in 2015 he started two games for Cleveland and promptly committed five turnovers. In terms of statistics, physical attr...
Seahawks Think Colin Kaepernick Is Overqualified To Play For The Seahawks
The Seahawks have found another backup for quarterback Russell Wilson. It just won’t be Colin Kaepernick, who apparently is too good for the job....
Gael Monfils Laid It All Out There
Gael Monfils and Stan Wawrinka are genuine late-bloomers—perhaps the only two pros to ever find their best tennis on the cusp of 30—and very good friends, too. Somehow, before today’s round of 16 match at the French Open, they had gone six years on the tour without playing one another. That fact bog...
Laurent Lokoli Refuses To Shake Opponent's Hand After French Open Match
Sometimes professional tennis is an awesome display of athleticism and mental toughness. Less frequently, but just as enjoyably, it’s a petty squabble with some tennis sprinkled in. So went the end of a first-round French Open match between Slovakia’s Martin Klizan and France’s Laurent Lokoli. ...
