WNBA Referee Walks Into Astou Ndour’s Hand, Delivers Emphatic Ejection
You can’t touch a referee. That’s the rule in basketball and basically every sport. So, the ejection of the Chicago Sky’s Astou Ndour from today’s game against the Washington Mystics was understandable. But the reaction of WNBA ref Kevin Fahey was a bit over the top....
Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill Taken To Hospital After Shoulder Injury

The Dolphins Were The Perfect Confidence Builder For The Ravens
It was very clear at the end of preseason that the Dolphins had no desire to seriously compete this year, even if head coach Brian Flores planned on it. Judging from the roster as well as the trade of Laremy Tunsil and Kenny Stills, the Fins seemed destined to suck mondo ass. Today’s game did not di...

Sixers’ Mike Scott Wears Washington Jersey To Eagles Tailgate, Gets Into Fight With Fans [Updates]
Though he was just a throw-in piece in the deal that brought Tobias Harris to Philadelphia last winter, Mike Scott has become quite the popular 76er in his short time with the team. A group of fans even call themselves the Mike Scott Hive and tailgated at a Phillies game, for whatever reason....
Vernon Davis Hurdles Defender, Burns Eagles For 48-Yard Touchdown, Walks Off In Pain
With Jordan Reed inactive, Washington started Vernon Davis at tight end today against the Eagles. It paid off early with this spectacular 48-yard touchdown, but that might’ve used up all the remaining gas in the 35-year-old’s tank....
Albania Get The Wrong Anthem Before Match Against France; Apology Made To "Armenia"
Saturday’s Euro 2020 qualifier in Paris between Albania and France was delayed for 10 minutes after the stadium crew used the wrong national anthem for the visiting team, who were disrespected by the mistake and refused to take the field until the right song was played. Can’t be mixing up those “A” ...
The Steelers Specifically Didn't Want This To Happen, Which Makes It All The Funnier
Back in March, before the Antonio Brown saga involved feet and a helmet, it was a relatively standard dispute of a disgruntled player riding an elliptical and demanding a trade from his team. The Steelers had no desire to keep him, but they still thought highly enough of him that they didn’t want a ...
Hugh Freeze Switches From Hospital Bed To Medical Chair, But Liberty Loses Again
Hugh Freeze, who is still recovering from a staph infection, should definitely be in bed munching on ice pellets, but he won’t stop jeopardizing his health for Liberty football, dammit. The dude coached from a hospital bed in the Flames’ first game of the season, a shutout loss to Syracuse, but for ...
Tennessee Follows Up Dismal Loss To Georgia State With Excruciating Loss To BYU
That players-only meeting didn’t work, and it seems the problem wasn’t the receiver who enjoyed a meme at his own team’s expense. The Tennessee Volunteers dropped their home opener to Georgia State—yes, State—but had the opportunity to rebound Saturday in Knoxville, this time against BYU. They were...

Khabib Nurmagomedov Remains Terrifyingly Good, Submits Dustin Poirier To Unify Lightweight Championship
Eleven months after his prior title defense against Conor McGregor—and the post-match brawl that led to a lengthy suspension—Khabib Nurmagomedov reasserted himself as one of, if not the best fighter in the world. Against the interim UFC lightweight champ Dustin Poirier, Khabib dominated all 12 minut...
Right On Cue, The Patriots Sign Antonio Brown
It almost seemed too obvious to be possible, but malcontent former Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown is headed to the Patriots to become yet another in what feels like a whole roster’s worth of talented yet difficult players who have found a home with Bill Belichick through the years. The terms, o...
An Incompetent Michigan Escapes Upset-Minded Army In Double OT
There were certainly some jitters in the Michigan fanbase about facing a bizarre, tough-to-crack team like Army in Week 2, but only the most cynical of Wolverines could have predicted the struggle that unfolded on Saturday afternoon in The Big House. Plenty of Michigan mistakes and just straight-up ...
NIU Quarterback Ross Bowers Front-Flips Into The Endzone, Yet Again
Ross Bowers’s mother coached the women’s gymnastics team at the University of Washington for 10 years, so maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise that when her son, the starting quarterback at Northern Illinois, gets to the endzone, he takes the most acrobatic route possible....
