There are a lot of opinions flowing back and forth regarding whether or not Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo should get his starting job back when he’s healthy. A pretty significant voice has chimed in.

Jim Nantz is the latest victim of the hot mic. Apparently Nantz got caught on camera last month talking about the national anthem protests so widespread in the NFL right now. To summarize, he suggests the protests might die out if the cameras don’t pay it any mind. DeadSpin has the video: Not a good […]

Hall of Fame running back Eric Dickerson isn’t going to blame Todd Gurley for his slow start to the 2016 season. In fact, Dickerson knows first hand that a running back can’t get going if he has nowhere to go. “If you watch the games, there’s nowhere to go; there’s nowhere to run,” said Dickerson, via ESPN. […]

Lakers head coach Luke Walton learned a very valuable lesson from Kobe Bryant early in his career. Unfortunately for him, he learned the hard way. Walton recently appeared on Jesse Williams’ “Open Run” podcast, and

Predicting NFL games is difficult. The only guarantee is that there will be at least one upset just about every week. In Week 6, however, five teams are above the fray. These teams have underdog immunity and are locks to put one in the win column. Steelers (4-1) at Dolphins (1-4) The Steelers are the […]

Chris Paul has some of the best handles in the NBA, and poor Damian Lillard learned that lesson during Thursday’s exhibition matchup. Lillard was guarding Paul in the third quarter of the game, and CP3 changed direction by going behind his back. That sent Dame hurtling to the floor. 31 years old and still breaking […]

The Clippers trailed the Trail Blazers, 108-107, during Thursday night’s exhibition matchup, but Jamal Crawford provided the solution to their problem. Crawford set up near the top of the key, dribbled right and pulled up from the elbow. And oh yeah, he drained the game-winning jumper. His celebration was a bit premature, but in exhibition […]

Dodgers ace Clayton Kershaw came in to close out the Nationals’ season in Game 5 of the NLCS, and he did not disappoint. Many questioned whether or not he’d be able to get it done on just one day of rest, but Kershaw shut them up quickly. He got arguably the hottest hitter in the […]

Hall of Fame QB Steve Young has been back-and-forth on the 49ers quarterback situation, as he seemed to favor Blaine Gabbert over Colin Kaepernick from the beginning. He’s now come out and said he wasn’t necessarily against making the move, but that the team’s timing was off and that they made it too late. “It’s […]

Philip Rivers is closing in another San Diego Chargers passing record. The 34-year-old quarterback needs 125 yards to pass Hall of Famer Dan Fouts for most all-time by a Charger. Rivers could set the record on Thursday night against the Denver Broncos. A first-round pick in 2004, Rivers has been the face of the Chargers […]

Oh, what could have been for the Chicago Bulls. Dwyane Wade told reporters on Thursday that both he and LeBron James considered joining the Bulls in the summer of 2010, but the Miami Heat being able to sign both of them along with Chris Bosh changed things. Wade said Chicago was a top option in […]

After Calvin Johnson retired at the end of last season, the thought was Matthew Stafford would struggle this season without one of the best receivers in NFL history, but the Detroit Lions quarterback hasn’t missed a beat. Lions offensive coordinator Jim Bob Cooter says Stafford may be even better without Johnson. “I think he’s a […]

It seemed like a big deal—the Miami Dolphins signed Mario Williams over the offseason to put him on the same line as Ndamukong Suh. No dice. Williams has been ineffective at best, totaling seven tackles and a sack through five games and helping the team to a 1-4 record. Dolphins defensive coordinator Vance Joseph wasn’t […]

Wednesday was an odd day in the tennis world. That’s putting it lightly, too. Nick Kyrgios had a match with Mischa Zverev at the Shanghai Masters, which he lost 6-3, 6-1. A rough loss, but the score doesn’t do the talking. Kyrgios didn’t try at all, which caused the ATP to come down hard on […]

Mike McCarthy is getting tired of the relentless questions about his Green Bay Packers offense. “You know, we had 400 yards of offense (against the New York Giants), so I don’t know why the hell I’ve got to come in here and answer questions about the things you think that went wrong,” McCarthy said Wednesday, according […]

CNN’s Ashley Killough captured what Trump had to say: It’s odd enough Trump was […]

An OHL game between the Mississauga Steelheads and Guelph Storm Wednesday was normal until a fan decided to impersonate Spider-Man and climb the boards. To the guy’s credit, he got over and onto the ice rather gracefully. The fall was anything but: Meanwhile in the OHL, a guy climbed the boards and ran onto the […]
