Sports are my life, and I'm old school about them. No participation trophies here. Just a realist, saying what others won't.
Harden and the Rockets are in salary cap hell, and what they got obviously ain't getting it done. Good luck, Houston. And Telvin Smith says "football ain't everything", but isn't that convenient after football has just paid you millions? What do you think is take would be oh, and his choices would be, if hr didn't have millions in the bank?
A DQ at the Kentucky Derby? What a crazy afternoon. Also, Canelo beats Jacobs in a lackluster fight. Just give us a 3rd GGG/Canelo fer Christ's sake! And NBA Playoffs are heating up. Does Warriors/Rockets feel like 49ers/Cowboys of the early 90's??
NFL Draft Winners and Losers.. Oakland nailed it.. NE nailed it.. Giants sucked it.. Arizona?? Vikings?? Let's chat..
When you can't rely on your sheer physical dominance anymore, you have to adjust your game to stay on top, and that's exactly what Tiger did at The Masters. Also, it's not Virginia losing to a #16 seed, but the Tampa Bay Lightning losing to Columbus- after tying the record for most points in a season- has to fall somewhere close. And Terrance Crawford beat Amir Khan last night, but it was anything but spectacular. Oh, and the NFL Draft is this week. Let's chat.
What's better than Sunday at The Masters? Tiger in the final group, that's what. Also, if you missed the Lomachenko fight Friday night, go watch it- NOW! And call me tickled, but watching LeBron and three Lakers fail makes me smile.
Temporary has always been part of sports, and instant replay just take care of the way.
There have been some games in this year's March Madness that will go down is absolute classics, and will cement this Final Four is one of the best ever. The game between Purdue in Virginia is one of them. Also, LeBron shut it down for the season, and it looks as though he's finished dominating, he'll grab a couple key Acquisitions this offseason, and we'll be back challenging the Warriors and Rockets next year (as much as I hate it). And yesterday's match play proved that it doesn't matter the ranking, because any given round world's best can go down. Evidence in that Tiger Beat Rory, and then loses to somebody who's never won on the tour.
Half of the Sweet 16 is set, and defending champ Villanova and Kansas are already going home. Ja Morant showed why he may be the best player to enter the draft (sorry, Zion), and why Oregon will win it all. Also, if you didn't see "Showtime" Anthony Pettis' KO of Steven "Wonderboy" Thompson last night, you need to. NOW!
Antonio Brown, Le'Veon Bell, AND OBJ all find new homes.. What a crazy off-season for the NFL.. The Vikings are f**king clueless.. I'll tell you why. Spence/Garcia disappoints.. Spence/Pacquiao next? Garcia/Lomachenko? The Players And one of the best KO's in the UFC.. Masvidal shocks Till- IN LONDON!
Hopefully, Antonio Brown kicking and screaming, and acting like a bitch, didn't set a precedent for future players. The NBA is already run by the players, and in my opinion, that's not a good thing- for the fans. To me, it's not fun to see the same teams in it every year. Transgenders in sports. As usual, people can't think past their "Look at me, I'm progressive!" minds to see the long-term effets. I can. LSU b-ball coach, Will Wade, suspended for bribing a player. LSU fans react.. ALL COACHES DO IT!

You're up 13-0 at home. The Rams couldn't hear AND their headsets weren't working (hmmm..). You failed to convert TD's and instead settled for FG's. Went up 20-10 in the 3rd. Got away with a BLATANT face-mask on Goff that would've led to a TD instead of a FG- which would've meant not even going to OT. You get the ball FIRST in OT, yet throw an interception, and you want to cry about a missed pass interference call? Right. Quit crying, Saints fans. You couldn't close the deal when you had the chance, so you pick out the one thing that supposedly would've changed everything. Here's my one question to you, if the situation was reversed, how would you be acting? And that's the problem with fans.. Also, Brady and the Patriots beat the Chiefs- in Arrowhead. I love all the Jets, Dolphins, and Bills fans who hate on the Patriots. That's the same thing as the Pacers, Knicks, and Pistons fans hating on the Bulls in the 90's. Can't beat em, may as well hate em. Djokovic wins a record-setting 7th Aussie Open over Nadal.. Tiger is back but not in the mix.. And they should get rid of the NHL and NFL All-Star games
Today's games will mark the two biggest age differences between starting quarterbacks in the history of the NFL, and that means absolutely nothing. The spreads on the games are both -3 for the home teams, and both over/under game totals are at 56. What I'm saying is it's a coin-flip. So whoever I pick on the show, put your mortgage on the opposite. For real though, can the Patriots run the ball effectively to keep Patrick Mahomes and that offnse off the field? Can the Chiefs defensive line get any pressure on Tom Brady when he does pass? If the Patriots can't run, can they keep up? Will the Chiefs even try to run? Will Andy Reid stick to the run if they're up at the end? As far as the Rams/Saints.. will Drew Brees ever lose a playoff game at home? Aside from the prolific offenses, I wonder if the injuries along the offensive line for the Saints will be an issue. Also, the loss of Kirkwood at WR may be a bigger issue than most think. The Rams are the best running team in football, so it will be paramount for the Saints to stop it. Although, I can see this being a surprisingly low scoring game, with running being a major part. Also, did you see that bullshit stoppage last night in the UFC? Damn, I hate that shit. And Manny Pacquiao did exactly what I said he'd do. And Adrian Broner is an idiot.
The Colts rushed for over 200 yards last week in Houston, with Marlon Mack going loco, yet against the weak Chiefs rush D, they refused to rush the ball? Makes no sense. Marlon Mack finished with NINE carries. NINE! I'm too much of a fan to want to believe Vegas controls sports, but seriously, WHAT. THE. FUCK? Also, I feel like I say it every week, if you're on the road, never run (especially up the middle) on the first play of the game. The Colts did it yesterday, and the Chiefs were waiting on it- JUST LIKE EVERY HOME TEAM DOES! Colts lost 3 yards, and ended up going 3 and out (with a drop by Eric Ebron). Chiefs got up, and it felt like it was over before it started. In the nightcap, the Rams dominated the lines on both sides of the ball, and that pretty much sums it up. I've said it ever since Dak Prescott got into the league, but you take away his running game, and Dak is average, at best. Ezekiel Elliott had 20 carries for 43 yards, and Dak couldn't do shit. Be careful, Jerry, don't give Dak that $100 mil... Chargers/Patriots today, and yes, the Chargers have mpre talent, but can Philip Rivers finally beat Tom Brady- in Foxboro? He's 0-7 lifetime v. Tom, and I'm not sure the Chargers get it done today. With that said, put all your money on the Chargers, because I can't bet for shit. And the best game of the weekend is served last. Eagles/Saints in a rematch of an ass-blasting by the Saints earlier in the season, 48-7. Oh, how things have changed... Nick Foles is back at it, and the defense looks like the formiddable group that won the Super Bowl last year. If my life depended on it, I'd pick the Saints, but it doesn't so I'm rolling with Philly, even though I hate them, and the city, and the people. And last, I'll discuss the coaching changes. Nowhere in sports does coaching matter more than professional football. LET"S GO!
Can we please pump the brakes on the Big 3 talk with the Cowboys?! Dak is nowhere close to that level, and even though Cooper is a nice player, he's not at that level either. I'll give the props to Ezekiel, he's on his way to the Hall. But when I think of a Big 3, I think of Pittsburgh. Three potential HOFers. Dallas isn't remotely close to that. Speaking of Pittsburgh.. what a shitshow. Antonio Brown is becoming Terrell Owens. As for the game yesterday, the Cowboys shut down Seattle's run. Granted, few teams have done that this year, but they did a good job, and props to them. If they go to Los Angeles next week, I give them a chance, if they go to New Orleans, no chance. Also, DeShaun Watson can't hit the broadside of a barn. I've said it a thousand times, and it's not a secret, accuracy is paramount for an NFL QB, and Watson needs to get better. With a average run game, he needs to win some games with his arm, and he can't do that right now. Houston's D underperformed, too. But the Colts are for real, so I can't say how much was the Texans inability, or the Colts execution. Luck and Hilton are scary, and Marlon Mack continues to impress. And their D is SOLID! Chargers@Ravens & Eagles@Bears.. My gut tells me Ravens and Eagles, but you can obviously make the case for both the Chargers and the Bears. I. Can't. Wait. Lamar Jackson better enjoy it while it lasts, because give the NFL a full offseason to study and prepare for him, and next year will be his litmist test. Btw, take the under on the Bears and Eagles (which means you should take the over).
I understand Daniel Cormier's position on Jon Jones and his steroid use, but damn I'd like to see a thrid fight, wouldn't you? At Heavyweight? Would LOVE to see it happen. Also, can we please never see Notre Dame in a big game again? Clemson walked The Irish, and we all knew it was going to happen. NCAA should make Notre Dame join the ACC in football (they a part of it in every other sport), or they can't participate in the College Football Playoff. Period. Alabama just seems too good to be playing other college teams. Nothing against Oklahoma, because they'd give it to most other programs, but Alabama is just that good. I will say this- and I said it when the CFP was announced- but Georgia was AT LEAST the 4th best team, and would've have fared much better than Notre Dame and Oklahoma. NFL Week 17 (and I shed a tear). Damn, it goes fast. Playoff implications drip with intrigue in the afternoon games (thank you for the scheduling, NFL), as there'll be 7 games (8 with the night game) tahat will decide who makes the NFL Tournament. Let's go Vikings. Please win so you can automatically lose in the first round. See ya tomorrow.
Well, just like last year, when I was called a racist by my black "friends" for not agreeing with their cries of racism when the late Houston Texans owner, Bob McNair, said he didn't want the inmates running the prison, I'm now a racist once again for not agreeing with LeBron saying the NFL has a "slave mentality." The fury that followed my Facebook post was obvious, and that's the problem. All the Lemmings taking LeBron's side, insteaad of looking at it from a billionaire's prospective. IT'S A BUSINESS, and BILLIONAIRES ARE GREEDY! How is this a surprise? And why am I a racist for stating the obvious? Saying a business has a "slave mentality" when the employees are millionaires is a bit short-sighted to say the least. Nevermind that you could argue EVERY OTHER BUSINESS IN THE WORLD has the same mentality. The NFL is a $14 billion business, and a greedy one, at that. But their "employees" are from from being treated like slaves, and LeBron knows it. He's just not smart enough to know he's in the same position, he just can't see the forest for the trees. The NFL is Russia, and the NBA is the U.S. Everybody knows Russia runs it their way, and doesn't give a fuck about what you think. The U.S. still runs it their way, they just let you think you have a say. LeBron can't see this. Also, the utter mention of "slave mentality" from somebody like LeBron just fans the fire of the already sky-high racial tension in this country, and it seems to be done on purpose. LeBron says the league wouldn't exist without the players, and he's right. But guess who would be alright? THE BILLIONAIRE OWNERS! It's the players who need the league, not the other way around.
Montana & Elway was seemlessly woven into Aikman and Favre, and the same will happen with Tom Brady & Ben Roethlisberger, who will gradually relinquish their hold on their NFL supremacy to the likes of Carson Wentz, Jared Goff, Baker Mayfield, and DeSaun Watson. So as they strap it up for one of the last times, appreciate the battle between Big Ben & Tom Terrific. As all good things, it will eventually come to an end. Buffalo. As they say in boxing, styles make the fight, and you could argue that is true for most sports, so when it comes to the Vikings- playing at home today- against the Dolphins, this looks to be a game that the Vikings should win- and win easy. Ryan Tannehill is just the QB the Vikings play well against, and the offense the Dolphins run plays right into the hands of a Vikings defense. Pair that with a Vikings offense that will get the proverbial foot-in-the-ass bump with the firing of former Offensive Coordinator, John DiFilpbag, and this has the makings of beatdown (see Green Bay last week). But then again.. Buffalo. Cowboys @ Colts.. and the Patriots @ Pittsburgh, too.. LET'S GO!!
I know some may disagree, but I see these things, and Vasyl Lomachenko is Manny Pacquiao with better defense. Both of them have such incredible footwork, and they come at you from the most crazy angles. Loma's D is better than Pac-Man's, and I would say Loma's accuracy is better, too. Max Holloway shut a lot of people up last night! Outside of Brian Ortega taking the 3rd round, Holloway pummled Ortega (you should see his face!), and did whatever he wanted. His ability to switch up stances is unparalleled. He's fucking insane. Ravens/Chiefs.. Eagles/Cowboys.. Colts/Texans.. Rams/Bears.. and Vikings/Seahawks. Wow. Week 14 in the NFL is amped, and I can't wait!! A lot of playoff implications stemming from these tilts, and I'm looking froward to chopping 'em up.
Well, shit. There's not much more anti-climatic in sports than a draw in boxing. And unfortunately, that's exactly what happened in the Wilder/Fury fight. I thought Wilder won, being that he knocked Fury down twice, but I've watched boxing long enough to not be surprised at the scorecards anymore. I will say this, Fury is one weird motherfucker. Kareem Hunt. Oh, Kareem Hunt. I'm not surprised he did it, but it does show how badly the NFL wanted to keep it hidden. Don't worry, Kareem, you'll play again. (see: Redskins, Rams, etc.) College football has got a decision to make! What could've been an easy one, was washed away when Georgia couldn't hold on to beat Bama. Now, it's a two-horse race between Ohio St and Oklahoma for the last spot. I truly don't think it's that tough a decision. Oklahoma lost one game by 3 points to Texas, and then avenged it. Ohio St. got embarrassed at Purdue, then had some difficulty putting away a above-average Northwestern team. As much as I hate Oklahoma's defense, they still deserve the last spot. Sorry, UCF, but you'll never be in the discussion. And it's NFL Week 13, and you know what that means! Last week of Fantasy Football before the playoffs!! Seriously it is, but that's only important to those who need a win to get in, not the guy who's in first place in both of his leagues... Vikings travel to New England for a juicy showdown with the Patriots, and the Chargers go to Pittsburgh for what should be a classic. I'm hoping the Vikings can do what Dallas did on Thursday night, but I'm not getting my hopes up. Tom Brady rarely loses at home in December, and when you mix that with my luck, it's an L for the Vikes. Also, OU QB Kyler Murray can get a signing bonus of $4.5 million and still play colllege football, but kids on scholarship can't get a job? Seriously, what the fuck is going on?
Watching Tiger & Phil Friday afternoon was one for the ages. Even though they didn't play very well, it was great theater, and one I'd like to see yearly. Tiger's still better, btw.. Ohio St. made Michigan look like shit, and that just makes my "Georgia is better than Michigan" claim look legit. Granted, Oklahoma would like to say their piece, but I'm glad Michigan is at least outta the discussion. That's all. Oh!! And the Minnesota Golden Gophers (WORST NICKNAME EVER) end 14 years of ass-whoopings to Wisconsin- IN MADISON!! Yes, Bucky isn't that good this year, but still... it's the Gophers. Nice win, Boys! And it's Week 12 in the NFL!! Dallas, New Orleans, and Chicago took care of business on Thanksgiving, but there's a couple big ones still left for Sunday, and none of them bigger then the Vikings and Packers on Sunday Night. A loss for the Packers, and they're pretty much outta the playoffs, while a loss for the Vikings may not be as catastrophic, but no bueno, nonetheless. LET"S GO VIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow. Rams win an epic battle against the Chiefs in one of the greatest NFL games ever. The total score, 54-51, is the first time in NFL history that both teams scored over 50 points, and the total points scored is obviously a record. I'm a defensive guy. I liked the Ravens/Steelers games of the mid-2000's, but the best part about the offensive onslaught that occured last night was that their was significant defensive plays that were made. 28 total points off turnovers, to be exact, and that wasn't the only plays that were made. And last night is one of the very few examples of when I actually LOVE watching something like that. The only downside is that I failed to go down to the Coliseum and scalp a ticket. That hurts. As far as the Vikings go, the loss to the Bears on Sunday night wasn't a shock, but the uncharacteristic play is what should be the concern. The Bears were 50% on 3rd down (after the Vikes sat at 25%), and the offense played scared, as if they were gettingn in the ring with Mike Tyson. Is the division gone for the Vikings? There's 6 games left, and anything can happen, but it sure looks slim... By the way, we all knew Khalil Mack was a beast, but lets give some love to Akeem Hicks. That guy wrecked the Vikings Sunday night.
UCF punter wore facepaint, and had hair that matched The Ultimate Warrior. Well played. Btw, does UCF belong in the CFP? (No.) Vikings/Bears square off for NFC North supremacy!! -This is where Kirk Cousins earns his money (Kurt Warner) -Cousins most pressured QB (O-line has to step up) -Khalil Mack (RUN AT HIM!!!) -Bears +13 TO -League best 89 points off TO @Draymond Green & Durant spat during game -How impressive is it that he's not been traded yet? -Wear out his welcome, a la TO, Moss, Rodman... etc Chiefs/Rams Jimmy Butler game-winner (after blocking Kemba) T-pups 3-0 since trade (win-win) Fallon Fox...
Jimmy Butler to the Sixers, and the T-pups are still suck. Butler isn't the bad guy in this, and I'll tell you why. LeVeon Bell will not report, and will sit out the rest of the year. Will the Steelers regret this? Can James Connor maintain this production? Alabama has two shutouts in a row, but... Tua's knee may put Jalen Hurts back in the spotlight. And it's Week 10 in the NFL. WEEK 10!!!!!!! Saints/Bengals.. Pats/Titans.. Cowboys/Eagles.. And why I have no sympathy for Dez.
Tom Brady and the Pats benefitted from a timely fumble, otherwise the ending may have looked a bit different. And that's two weeks in a row fumbles have been the demise of the Packers. The Cowboys got embarrassed last night after given multiple chances to secure the win W. Mariota looked good for the Texans in the win, but his good games are too far in between. The Vikes took care of the Lions with the help of 10 sacks by the Vikings D (a team record). Dalvin Cook returned and ripped off a 70 yd run to remind us all what a dynamic player he can be. And Oakland is a disaster, but they're trending in the direction of the late '80's/early '90's Cowboys. Trust me (and Jon Gruden) on this.
LOTS TO GET TO!!! It's A-Rod and Brady. Comparing the two is human nature, but let's stop the debate and just enjoy what they do. There's never going to be an agreement on who's the G.O.A.T., but I do have a formula that works to find out. Also, Maryland football is a shit-show, but not for the reason's you think. And would you believe the Raiders- and Jon Gruden- are just following the same formula that brought the early '90's Cowboys championships? It's possible. Rams/Saints in an EPIC showdown in Nawlings.. If the Rams win, do they run the table? And your favorite Vikings, home against the Lions. What could possibly go wrong? (see: Buffalo)
Way to go, Red Sox, you spent the 3rd most, and beat the team who spent the most. Baseball should consist of 8 teams. Meanwhile, what a week in the NFL! Aside from the 2nd half turd the Vikings took, there were some killer games, none moreso than the Rams/Packers. Apparently, the Packers hate Ty Montgomery so bad after that game-ending fumble they traded his punkass away to Baltimore! Sheesh! Oh, and I told you so. 26-149 & 2 TD's (1 Rec).. That's Adrian Peterson's line. He's still got it, Bitches. Just like I said he would. He's on pace for 1,342 yards. Say my name. SAY MY NAME, BITCH! And the trade deadline has come and gone, AND IT WAS FUCKING CRAZY! Golden Tate to the Eagles.. Demaryious Thomas is a Texan.. Ha Ha Clinton-Dix to the Redskins!!!! Yow-Sa!!!
The Red Sox are a game away from the World Series Championship, but only because nerds are ruling the baseball landscape. The only problem is that those same nerds have never played the game, and they'll never know what an "intangible" means. And it's the Game of the Week in a rematch of the "Minneapolis Miracle." The Saints travel to Minneapolis to exorcise the demons of last January, in what was one of the most historic- and unbelievable- moments in NFL history. Obviously, each year in the NFL is anew, but don't think the Saints don't remember the feeling of getting their hearts ripped out. Can't wait for this!
Arguments can be made for the Cowboys and the Raiders, but what do you think of the Amari Cooper trade? Was a #1 too much, and what exactly is Oakland doing? The Vikes took care of business v. the Jets in lieu of the showdown with the Saints, and both teams are gaining more and more momentum by the week. So who wins, and how many times will we hear the phrase "Minneapolis Miracle?" Also, some coaches are just better coordinators than head coaches, and Pat Shurmur might be that guy. Man, the Giants are a fucking dumpster-fire. Two QB sneaks at the end? TWO!! And wtf was that pooch kick?
Another case of fans who have no clue, example 1,987,345.. T-pup fans boo Jimmy Butler, then cheer every one of his 33 points. Idiots. Vikings v Jets. I pray this isn't another dud like the game v the Bills. The Saints are on the Sunday Night Football horizon, and it's easy to look past the cherry Jets, but with their D, and ands Hot/Cold Sam Darnold, you better be ALERT! Fuck MLB. They wanted LA v BOS and I wouldn't doubt they paid off the Brewers to make it happen. College B-ball kids get $125k to play the G-league, instead of going to collegem, and I say hell yes!! Fuck college. Also, Kawhi v Demar will be a forever comparison being that they traded teams. Can't wait to see how this plays out.
After four of the top 10 teams fall in college football, the crazy continues in week 6 of the NFL. Dak and the Cowboys drop 40 on the Jags. Chicago's vaunted D gets embarrassed in Miami. The Pack barely survived the 49ers at home, and the Patriots prove they're still the team to beat in the AFC. Oh, and Tyreke Hill's a bitch. Mary Bono steps down USA Gymnastics after 4 days- and it's bullshit. And Nick Bosa is leaving Ohio St. to concentrate on the NFL Draft. Good idea or bad? My take will surprse you.
As expected, Terrance Crawford took care of business Saturday night v. Benavidez, but it wasn't without an early test. Unfortunately, Benavidez tired out, and that made for an anti-climatic last 6 rounds, but he gave Crawford a fight. Next for Crawford? How bout a REAL test? Errol Spence is the fight we all want to see, and hopefully, Al Haymon and Bob Arum can sit down like men and figure it out. Tom Brady and the Patriots v. Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. THIS. SHOUOLD. BE. GOOD! Also, it's good to know Colin Kaepernick is all about the cause, as he files for a trademark of his image. He just lost all credition trying monetize the call for action on police brutality. Sad. Nebraska.. Eli Manning.. Saquan Barkley..
One week does not heel all wounds, nor does it make me forget the past, but the Vikes win over the Eagles (AT PHILLY) was unexpected and a HUGE relief. Let's just pump the brakes on saying they've turned things around, though. Beat Arizona (CONVINCINGLY!) and we can maybe chat. Speaking of the Cardinals, they had 14 (FOURTEEN!) tackles for losses v. the 49ers. I'm not sure if that's a record, but it's gotta be close. And the Packers lose at Detroit. I kinda feel bad for Aaron Rodgers. No I don't. Fuck the Packers.
PLEASE TELL ME YOU SAW THAT!!! What. A. Fight! Kahbib Nurmagomedov drubs Conor McGregor in what was one of the most insane UFC matches ever! Kahbib dominated on the ground, as expected, but also stood toe to toe with McGregor for good portions of the fight. And then the post-fight... Kahbib talks shit to Conor after submitting him, throws his mouthpiece at Conor's corner, then hops the fence and goes into the crowd to fight Conor's posse! It was absolute bedlam! Week 5 in the NFL is do or die for some, including my Vikings, who travel to Philly, the site of their ass-whooping at the hands of the Eagles last January in the NFC Championship Game. Both teams are underachieving, but this is a must-win for a Vikings squad that would drop to a 1-3-1 hole with a loss. Also, in the Game of the Week, the Jacksonville Jaguars go to Arrowhead to take on the high-flying Kansas City Chiefs, and their young superstar, Patrick Mahomes. It's the immoval object v. the unstoppable force. CANT. WAIT!
The Vikings loss to the Bills will go down as the day the Vikes lost the season, but it sure was fun being at the Colesium Thursday night! I didn't expect a Vikings win, but the game was much more entertaining than I expected. Both defenses ate shit, but the Rams made a couple more plays, and got the W. Can everybody who counted the Patriots out (again) eat a shit sandwich? This is the same record the Pats sat at after the "We're on to Cincy" game vs the Chiefs, and I see the same end-of-season-result.. a Super Bowl. They get Edelman back this week to go along with Gordon, Gronk, White, Michel, Hogan, and Mr. Brady. Fuck all of you who wrote them off (again). Please pump the brakes on Patrick Mahomes. I love the kid, but I just saw someone on TV ask if he's the best QB in the NFL. Huh? What fucking world are we living in? The kid's played 4 games, and we're putting him in the HOF? Let's see how he does this week vs Jacksonville, and then (not really then) we can talk.
I'm not sure if 30 minutes will be enough, but I'll do my best. Those of you Nerds who say intagibles are irrelevant didn't see Oregon/Stanford. One play can change the attitude and momentum, and that is what intangibles are all about. If you saw the reaction from tghe Cleveland Browns and SMU Mustangs, you'd think they won the Super Bowl. They beat the Jets and Navy, respectively. Settle the fuck down. If anyone should be celebrating like the world just ended, it's Old Dominion. They came back to beat Va Tech in their first ever Power Five win. That's something to celebrate about. Tiger is 3 up at The Tour Championship. If everything panned out, Tiger would win the FedEx Cup. Just think about that for a sec. Big KAT signs the super-max with the T-pups. 5yr/$190 million, while Jimmy Butler demands a trade. Good times in Miineapolis. Oh, and Butler banged KAT's girl. You can't make this shit up. And Week 3 in the NFL! Is there a bigger game than the 0-2 Giants v. the 0-2 Texans? Talk about disappointing! Enjoy paying Beckham that money, Giants.
