Patriots quarterback Tom Brady was fired up for his first game since returning from suspension, as he threw for 406 yards in the team’s 33-13 victory over the Browns. Brady completed 28 of 40 passes in the game, including three touchdowns. And at one point during the AFC showdown, after running for a first down, […]

Baltimore Ravens linebacker C.J. Mosley came up with a potentially game-changing play in Sunday’s game against the Redskins, but he tried to convert it into a touchdown and paid dearly for it. With the Redskins clinging to a 13-10 lead in the third quarter of the game, Mosley intercepted a Kirk Cousins pass and attempted […]

The key to executing a fake field-goal attempt as a kicker is to make it look like you’re actually going to kick the ball. The Baltimore Ravens learned that lesson Sunday in their game against the Redskins, when Justin Tucker, a right-footed kicker, lined up to kick from the other side. That telegraphed the fake, […]

Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford suffered an unfortunate fate when he had his helmet literally ripped off his head during the second quarter of the game. It happened on a pass play, with Eagles DT Fletcher Cox attempting to generate some pressure on Stafford. While it’s hard to tell exactly how it happened, it looked […]

The New England Patriots were truly out for blood in Sunday’s game against the Browns, which came as a surprise to no one. With Tom Brady returning in his first game since returning for suspension, things didn’t look good for Browns fans. Brady had probably watched more Browns tape than, well, anything else. And it […]

There’s no love lost when Florida State and Miami square off on the football field, but Hurricanes fans crossed the line in what was a poor display of sportsmanship during the game. Hurricanes safety Jamal Carter was ejected for targeting, in what looked to be a questionable call at best, and probably not the right […]

It’s a difficult job being a referee, which we learned during Saturday’s Tennessee-Texas A&M game at Kyle Field. After a Vols player and a member of the Aggies defense wrestled for the football at the end of a play, defensive back Justin Evans came flying in, in an attempt to help his teammate. Unfortunately, his […]

University of Michigan football locked it down on Rutgers with the defense leading the way in its best performance of the season. Rutgers managed to produce only 39 yards of offense, while Michigan rushed for 481 yards, in the 78-0 blowout of its Big 10 foe at High Point Solutions Stadium. The blowout of epic […]

Chicago Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks had his breakout season this year, but his first playoff start of the season was cut short. Hendricks excited the game in the fourth inning after getting hit in the arm by a liner, which happened when Angel Pagan hit a changeup right back at him. The ball hit Hendricks […]

There’s a lot of reason for celebration in Cleveland, and that’s what Cavaliers players did during Friday’s game at Progressive Field, which the Indians won 6-0. The Cavs are world champions, and the Indians are red-hot and making a push to do the same. They’ve outscored the Red Sox 11-4 during the first two games […]

The US Men’s National Team squared off against Cuba in a friendly on Friday, and manager Jurgen Klinsmann defended his player and went off on an official during the match. Cuba trailed 2-0, with the US protecting a comfortable lead, when Steve Birnbaum unfortunately took a cleat to the face from a Cuban player. The […]

It’s no secret that Ben Affleck is a Patriots fan, and his reaction to when Michael Strahan tried to convert him into a Giants fan reinforced this. Affleck recently appeared on “Good Morning America,” and Strahan hooked him up with a customized Giants jersey. The reaction (pictured above) Affleck had was priceless. WATCH: Uh oh!

Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott is off to a solid start to his professional career, with 94 carries for 412 yards (three touchdowns) through four weeks of play. It certainly helps to run behind one of the best offensive lines in the NFL, but Elliott has been showing why he’s worthy of being the […]

The Pittsburgh Steelers going full throwback mode for their upcoming game at Heinz Field against the New York Jets, but it appears it’ll be the final time they’ll be doing so. The Steelers will wear the “bumblebee” uniforms during Sunday’s game, as a tribute to the 1934 team. However, they won’t be wearing them again. […]

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James is a deity in his hometown, so the Indians were smart to have him come out to pump up fans before Friday’s playoff matchup against the Red Sox at Progressive Field. The Indians probably didn’t need the support, especially since they tagged David Price for four runs in the first […]

It didn’t take long for San Francisco 49ers fans to state their case for why Colin Kaepernick should be starting over Blaine Gabbert. With the Cardinals taking the lead, 14-7, for the first time in the Thursday night game at Levi’s Stadium, 14-7, the 49ers received the ball on their first offensive drive of the […]

The San Francisco 49ers debuted their “Color Rush” uniforms on Thursday night, and unlike the Miami Dolphins, they didn’t look like orange popsicles. Opting for a more classic but still stylish look, the 49ers donned the “Color Rush” jerseys for their game against the Cardinals at Levi’s Stadium, and they looked pretty fresh. The Color […]

We all remember when Joe Buck, the voice of Fox Sports, missed the entire 2011 MLB regular season with a virus in his vocal chords. Except that wasn’t the case. Buck has come out and admitted to Sports Illustrated’s Richard Deitsch that it wasn’t a virus in the laryngeal nerve of his left vocal cord. […]

Cleveland Cavaliers point guard Kyrie Irving doesn’t just break ankles, he takes ankles. And he’s using that reputation, as well as his love for “The Undertaker,” to create a new nickname. It’s no secret that Irving has the best handles in the NBA, as well as the best crossover. So he posted a video of […]

Wednesday night’s NL Wild Card matchup between the Mets and Giants featured an unlikely pairing in the stands. Zac Efron and Joe Torre sat together and took in the game that the Giants won, 3-0, and we really want to know what they talked about. The two have quite different personalities. With

Blake Griffin had the right idea when he tried to throw a shoe off the court during Wednesday’s exhibition game against the Raptors, but his execution was a bit off. Griffin was set up near the top of the key, and he encountered a shoe that was laying on the court near him. As a […]

The San Francisco Giants had another unlikely hero step up for them in Wednesday’s Wild Card matchup against the Mets, and this time it was Conor Gillaspie. In an excellent pitching matchup, with the score deadlocked at 0-0, Jeurys Familia came in to pitch for the Mets, and it will went downhill from there. Familia […]

Week 5 of the NFL season is now upon us, which means New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is eligible to return to the football field. And judging by Jacoby Brissett’s horrendous performance against the Bills, we’re going to make a bold prediction that Brady will be starting under center. As such, a Patriots fan […]

Pittsburgh Steelers running back Le’Veon Bell has been doing all he can to promote his song “I’m the man” on social media, and it appears as if it’s getting some serious traction. Porn star Mia Khalifa is one of those fans, it seems. Bell posted a video on Twitter of her rocking out to and […]

Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins wore red to his weekly press conference on Wednesday, but it wasn’t the burgundy we’re used to seeing him don. No, instead, it was Hoosiers red, as he lost a bet to teammate Nate Sudfeld. The Hoosiers upset the Spartans 24-21 last weekend, and now Cousins is paying the price. […]
