JuJu Smith-Schuster And Dre Kirkpatrick Renew Hostilities With Tender Helmet Kiss
Whenever the Bengals and Steelers meet, things inevitably get ugly. The worst and most hallowed AFC North tradition is the biannual (God willing only biannual) yelling match between these two teams, and Dre Kirkpatrick and JuJu Smith-Schuster got things started early today with a little scuffle. Pro...
Report: Adidas Allegedly Funneled Money To Families Of DeAndre Ayton And Dennis Smith Jr.
The more reports you read from the ongoing wire fraud case against three Adidas representatives, the more it becomes obvious that the world of basketball recruiting is churning with cash, such that the only reason anyone inside of it could conceivably resist paying college athletes officially is to ...
It Is Hazardous To Look Directly At Alex Smith's Lowlight Reel
It was not quantifiably the worst passing performance of the season or even the week. But Alex Smith’s Monday night stinkbomb, especially contrasted with a superlative (and record-breaking) game from Drew Brees, was for my money the ugliest QB performance of the season....
JuJu Smith-Schuster Gave Birth To A Football
JuJu Smith-Schuster caught his second touchdown of the year in the first quarter today. To celebrate, he got down on the ground, where James Conner acted as a midwife to help him give birth to a football....
J.R. Smith And Marcus Smart Are Keeping The Cavs-Celtics Rivalry Alive And Well
The NBA season doesn’t start for another nine days, but J.R. Smith and Marcus Smart are already back on their bullshit. In the first quarter(!) of last night’s Cavs-Celtics preseason game, Aron Baynes and J.R. Smith got into a scuffle when Baynes appeared to try and pull a Kelly Olynyk on Smith’s sh...
SafeSport Bans Swimming Coach Sean Hutchison For Sexual Abuse
The U.S. Center for SafeSport banned swimming coach Sean Hutchison on Friday for what its documents called a violation of policies by “digitally penetrating a minor, receiving oral contact from a minor, and engaging in sexual intercourse all with an athlete whom he coached.” That swimmer is Ariana K...
J.R. Smith Will Give Fan $600 For Tossing His Phone Into Construction Site
Cavaliers guard J.R. Smith, who will be startled some time in late November when he realizes he has inbounded the ball to Collin Sexton and not LeBron James, will pay a fan $600 after hurling the man’s phone into a Manhattan construction zone in late July. ...
Prosecutor In Farcical Brett Kavanaugh Hearing Was Part Of Same Office That Let Kevin Johnson Walk Away From Sex Abuse Charges
Rachel Mitchell, the GOP hired gun who shot blanks during last week’s Brett Kavanaugh hearing, told Republican senators immediately after the public fiasco (but before the FBI investigation had begun) that she would not have prosecuted the nominee for his alleged assault of Christine Blasey Ford....
Markieff Morris's Bad Temper Is In Mid-Season Form
My friends, the Morris twins are extremely back on their bullshit. Last week Marcus Morris took the bait when Tristan Thompson ran his mouth about the LeBron-less Cavs still being the team to beat in the Eastern Conference. Also last week Markieff Morris felt it sensible to declare that the Boston C...
Dirk Koetter Calls For His Own Firing After Bears Humiliate Bucs
Thanks to the atrocious defense of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Mitch Trubisky looked like the savior of Chicago in the Bears’ 48-10 win this afternoon. Going for 354 yards passing, 53 yards rushing, and six touchdowns, Trubisky absolutely torched the now 2-2 Bucs, helping put a definitive end to Tampa...
Report: The NBA Will Fine J.R. Smith If He Doesn't Cover Up His "Supreme" Logo Tattoo Next Season
Wait a minute, this isn’t the NFL....
Zhaire Smith's Rookie Season Is Already A Total Bummer
The 76ers provided an unexpected and troubling update on the condition of rookie Zhaire Smith Thursday afternoon. Smith apparently had a bad allergic reaction to food and required something called a thoracoscopy. Recovery from the procedure, presumably along with whatever required it in the first pl...
The Fake Ban On Russia's State-Run Doping System Is Over
In 2015, the World Anti-Doping Agency suspended Russia’s national anti-doping agency in the face of overwhelming evidence that the government was running a sophisticated doping operation for its top athletes. As of today—despite Russia’s failure to meet the basic conditions of its suspension, and ou...
The Bears Are Going To Need More From Mitchell Trubisky At Some Point
The Bears beat the Seahawks 24-17 last night, and did so while looking like a team a few weight classes above their opponent. The defense, led by all-world linebacker Khalil Mack, was particularly impressive, getting into the backfield at will throughout the first half and keeping Seattle’s offense ...
Urban Meyer Digs The Hole A Little Deeper Every Time He Talks
Ohio State football coach Urban Meyer is back with the program after a three-game suspension from the team for mishandling domestic violence accusations against former assistant coach Zach Smith. To mark the occasion, he is once again trying to set the record straight about Smith’s domestic violenc...
Dimitri Payet Is Still Alive And Kicking The Bejesus Out Of Soccer Balls
Remember when Dimitri Payet came to the Premier League a few years ago, immediately set the world on fire by single-handedly transforming West Ham into must-see TV with his gasp-inducing talent and irrepressible flair, and then jilted all those new fans he’d earned right when we were starting to get...
Steve Smith And Michael Irvin Are Still Not The Best Of Friends
Since retiring from the NFL in 2017, Steve Smith has made the seamless switch from a brash, loud-mouth receiver to a brash, loud-mouth analyst on the NFL Network. In this latest example, Smith, who played for the Ravens from 2014-16, snapped on fellow analyst Michael Irvin after he said Anquan Boldi...
Zach Smith Is Having A Public Meltdown
Former Ohio State wide receivers coach Zach Smith, who was recently fired from his job after multiple allegations of domestic violence from his ex-wife, Courtney, became public, has spent the afternoon tweeting angrily about his situation. He’s threatened to sue Brett McMurphy, the reporter who orig...
WNBA Players Aren't Actually Trashing NBA Players, But They Are Fighting For Fair Pay
This week, the internet passed around several quotes by WNBA stars who called out their NBA counterparts and asked for better pay. Those quotes are all very fake. Supposedly Dallas Wings player Skylar Diggins-Smith bagged on LeBron James for being unskilled, and Phoenix Mercury center Brittney Grine...
Ohio State Releases More Documents From Zach Smith Investigation
This afternoon, Ohio State published a new batch of documents related to the Zach Smith domestic abuse case. The document trove includes previously reported on copies of police reports and the protective order filed by Smith’s ex-wife, Courtney. The school also published new materials, including rec...
