Steve Smith Might Really Whoop Michael Irvin's Ass
During Thursday’s NFL Network pregame show, Michael Irvin couldn’t resist taking a shot at Steve Smith’s pants. It seems like a bad idea to joke with the guy who once broke his own teammate’s nose, but it was heartening to see Irvin put his own neck on the line for once....

Have You Seen JuJu Smith-Schuster's Bike? [Update]

I Hope Dennis Smith Jr. Keeps Trying Big Dunks And Ruins Someone's Life
Dennis Smith Jr. is just 6-foot-2, but the audacious kind of 6-foot-2, the kind that wants to put the ball directly into the hoop no matter what bodies stand between him and it. There’s not a whole lot else going on in this Mavs roster, so it’s exhilarating when the rookie launches himself off the f...
Martavis Bryant Calls Out Teammate JuJu Smith-Schuster On Instagram
Fresh off a year-long weed suspension, Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant returned to the team this season only to abruptly request a trade, after his role in the offense diminished with the emergence of rookie WR JuJu Smith-Schuster. Bryant caught a single pass for three yards in yesterday’s 29...
The Steelers Upped Their Celebration Game With Some Hide-And-Seek

Mitch Trubisky Completed Four Passes And The Bears Won<em></em>

Alex Smith Calls Out Mike Mitchell For "Extremely Late" And "Flagrant" Hit
Late in the third quarter of this weekend’s loss to the Steelers, Alex Smith escaped third-down pressure and hit Kareem Hunt for a big gain before being brought down after the play by Steelers safety Mike Mitchell. Mitchell was flagged for roughing the passer, and Smith got in his face immediately a...
The Bears Had Been Holding Onto That Sweet Trick Play For A While
Let me list all the things I’m aware of from the football game: It was 3-2 at halftime. Sam Bradford broke down again. Mitchell Trubisky apparently looked decent in his NFL debut, even if basically all the other Bears are bad. This fake punt TD pass was pretty cool, though. Drew says his Vike boys w...
The Tennis Will Be Good As Hell This Weekend, If You're Awake For It
Frankly this chunk of the tennis calendar, known as the “Asian swing” because it passes through China and Japan, is the easiest to tune out, especially for a viewer in a U.S. time zone. The year’s last major just wrapped up, the year-end finals are still months away, and the time difference makes it...

I don’t know much about Dimitri Oberlin other than he is a forward who plays for Basel and he has the kind of unlimited stamina and electric speed that can only be compared to superheroes. Here he is demonstrating this with a jaw-dropping run in yesterday’s Champions League match against Benfica:...
Josh Norman, LeSean McCoy, And Others Explain Why They Chose To Demonstrate During The National Anthem
President Donald Trump said Friday that any “son of a bitch” NFL player who kneeled during the national anthem should be fired.

Why Don't You Ding-Dongs Come To The Net?
Roger Federer is a generous man. He’s spent the last two decades of his life pouring every bit of his heart, mind, and soul into giving us the best tennis experience possible. All he’s ever asked of us in return is that we come to the net more....
