Month: October 2024

A cavalcade of athletes gone astray from their moral core, rambunctiously violent media personalities, accidental female empowerers, and a mysterious man in a mask. See them all below. Remember Tiger Woods was last year's winner in a runaway victory. His prodigious coozehounding shocked the world, destroyed his golf game, killed his marriage, and cost him millions in sponsorship money and alimony. This year, he's just happy to eat mac and cheese with his kids and ready to return to being the bland banana-in-the-tailpipe dude who just happens to be the best golfer on the planet. I'm sure he is happy to abdicate his throne to one of these fine Sports Humans: 1. Brett Favre
2. LeBron James
3. Karen F. Owen
4. Jay Mariotti
5. Jason Whitlock
6. Dude Getting Blown By D…

data-mm-id=”_66d0yxx1x”>The Houston Texans were destroying the Chiefs in Kansas City, 21-0. They had them on the ropes after a lopsided first quarter. The Chiefs sputtered on offense, gave up a blocked punt and muffed another inside their own 10. The Texans were moving the ball at will. And then, on 4th and 1 from the 24-yard line, they kicked a field goal with 10:58 remaining in the 2nd quarter. It was the decision of a coward and it kick-started the Kansas City comeback.The Chiefs hadn't come close to stopping the Texans when Houston kicked this cowardly field goal. At the time, Tony Romo thought the Texans should go for it, but seemed to think an injury kept them from running out the correct player personnel for the play they wanted to run. At that point they burned a timeout t…

It all started when his season ended with his 30th interception of the year, which happened to be — wait for it — a walk-off pick-six.Before we get into the reaction, let's relive that historic moment:HISTORY pic.twitter.com/4LeXc8NP87— Tom Fornelli (@TomFornelli) December 29, 2019As a result, the internet was on its A-game with memes and tweets. Here are just some of the best:What if I told you…Jameis Winston is the first player in NFL history to throw 30 passing touchdowns and 30 interceptions in the same season.His final pass of the season was a walk-off pick six by Atlanta's Deion Jones. pic.twitter.com…

data-mm-id=”_t7zrxvmto”>Last night, the NFL general manager subcommittee unanimously agreed to recommend the NFL Draft be postponed and for commissioner Roger Goodell to push back the event. So far, there has been nothing to suggest that the NFL will do that. There could be some alterations to the process — Adam Schefter suggested turning it into a seven-day event on Get Up this morning — but for now, it'll be business as usual come April 23. Saints GM Mickey Loomis went on The Peter King Podcast Wednesday morning to discuss how the coronavirus pandemic is affecting his team's operations. When asked by King if it would be difficult to draft players a month from now without much exposure between now and then, Loomis had this to say (around the 10:00 minute mark): “”My own op…

data-mm-id=”_nx1qx3lea”>The NFL failed to adopt a new rule that would allow teams to opt to take a 4th-and-15 at their own 25-yard-line in lieu of an onside kick. While it didn't pass, the thinking behind the 4th-and-15 rule was a step in the right direction and could wind up passing with a small tweak. The vote on Philly's proposal for the 4th-and-15 alternative to the onside kick was 16-16, I'm told. So not particularly close to passing. It takes 24 votes to pass.But that IS progress from where the idea was last year.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) May 28, 2020Many believed if this rule had passed, it would have rewarded trailing teams too much. Patriots cornerback Jason McCourty said as much on Wednesday. After all, in the modern NFL, gaining 15 yards with a pass isn&…
