New York Knicks Tank Their Approval Rating With Players Even More After Weak Statement

data-mm-id=”_vq96tuuop”>Life as a fan of the New York Knicks is a constant struggle. The dawn of each day brings some kind of public disaster or meltdown for the franchise. It's been this way for so long I doubt any Knicks fans even remembers what it's like to be happy about the state of their team. The most recent issue to have popped up was the extraordinarily weak statement put out by James Dolan yesterday, which was a day late and a dollar short anyway. Max Kellerman ripped Dolan and the Knicks, saying a grade-school kid could have written that in five minutes. Brian Windhorst went on First Take today and told the crew that the fallout has extended far beyond public bashing in the media. "The Knicks … approval rating amongst players is so low right now, it's d…

How the Boston Celtics Respond in Game 4 Will Tell Us All We Need to Know About Their Championship Hopes

data-mm-id=”_j2qyt4ckv”>The Boston Celtics were on the verge of going 3-0 on the defending champion Toronto Raptors. Kemba Walker made the play of his career with a no-look pass to Daniel Theis to put his team up two with half a second remaining. Then O.G. Anunoby snuck to the corner, Kyle Lowry dropped it in the breadbasket, and Anunoby hit an ice-cold game-winner to keep the Raptors in this series. It could be a playoff-changing play. Game 4 will come on Saturday evening. Toronto is officially back in the series after the Celtics looked far and away like the better team for the majority of the minutes to that point. But losing a game with less than a second left on the clock, a mere moment away from an insurmountable deficit, is the definition of a back-breaking development. Jaylen B…

Tony Romo Should Unretire and Sign With Cowboys After Dak Prescott Injury

data-mm-id=”_ofcdfot6z”>Four years ago, Tony Romo suffered a back fracture in preseason, paving the way for rookie Dak Prescott to take the reins as the Cowboys starting quarterback. Prescott proceeded to lead the Cowboys to a 13-3 season in 2016 and hasn't missed a start since. That streak will end this coming week after Prescott suffered a devastating, season-ending ankle injury against the Giants.Which brings me back to Romo. Wouldn't it be incredible if he came out of retirement, signed with the Cowboys and gave it one more run at a Super Bowl? Rob Gronkowski is doing that with the Buccaneers and even Romo's former teammate, Jason Witten, unretired and is now playing for the Raiders. Who says Romo can't do the same thing? Of course, this is fantasy. Romo is paid…

TNT Forced Charles Barkley To Watch Another Warriors Game and He Hated It As Usual

data-mm-id=”_q65avbpix”>The Golden State Warriors blew out the Dallas Mavericks on TNT on Thursday night, 147-116. The Warriors made 22 of 43 three point attempts. Dallas made 20 of 50. Charles Barkley enjoyed approximately none of this. At halftime he broke it down like this.””Ya’ll sit there and watch this stupid ass basketball. Just jack up threes all night. If they go in we win. We miss they lose. Give me a break, you dumb asses.” “pic.twitter.com/BzAxCQ9rGR— Follow @Dubs408 (@NotNotDubs408) February 5, 2021I mean, this is just the sports ball meme. This is exactly what someone would say about basketball if they did not like basketball. You throw the ball at the hoop and if it goes in you win. You have to feel for Barkley. He is forced to visit the TNT studio two to three nights …

Tiger Woods Handed Justin Thomas a Tampon After Outdriving Him at the Genesis Open

data-mm-id=”_n684a6fbl”>Tiger Woods played competitive, televised golf on Thursday for the first time since last summer. Woods, playing with friends Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas, carded a 69 at the Genesis Invitational, which he was also hosting. He's dealing with an ankle injury, but that didn't affect his swing and he birdied the last three holes. Via ESPN: Woods told reporters on Tuesday that hitting shots was not a problem. And on Thursday, he went out there and proved as much. Off the tee, Woods was routinely hitting the ball over 320 yards (three of his drives went more than 330 yards) and outdriving both his playing partners — Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas — on a few holes.One of those holes was No. 9 where he could be seen handing something to Thomas as they …

The Jaylen Brown Contract Might Be an Overpay, But the Celtics Had No Choice

data-mm-id=”_lmvbttloi”>On Tuesday, the Boston Celtics inked Jaylen Brown to a supermax extension and the numbers are nothing short of obscene. The new deal is worth a whopping $304 million over five years, meaning Brown will make $60 million per season over the life of the contract. An absolutely massive haul — and one that many are calling an overpay from the outset. BREAKING: Boston Celtics star Jaylen Brown has agreed to a five-year, $304 million supermax contract extension with the franchise, per sources. This is the richest deal in NBA history, negotiated by agent Jason Glushon. Fully guaranteed, with a trade kicker. No player option. pic.twitter.com/MQ6NKILY8Q— Shams Charania (@ShamsCharania) July 25, 2023The argument for why it's an overpay isn't complicated. Brown…

Patriots Screwed by Obvious Missed Helmet-to-Helmet Penalty on Massive DeVante Parker Hit

data-mm-id=”_vx0v8ahw2″>This Sunday went as most Sundays have gone for the New England Patriots. They fell behind early, Mac Jones had a terrible turnover, the team's offense looked generally inept, Bill Belichick raged on the sideline, and the injury bug struck a few key players yet again. However, they hadn't really gotten the short end of the stick from the referees this season. Until today. In the first half the refs missed a very clear illegal formation penalty on the Dolphins and led to Belichick's outburst. The Patriots quickly found themselves down 24-10 in the second half and then got screwed by another missed call on their second possession of the half. Mac Jones found DeVante Parker for a quick pass and Parker got absolutely blasted by Miami defensive back Des…

Bills Fans Now Jumping Through Burning Folding Tables

data-mm-id=”_3tfc4ayne”>For a while there it was hard to be on the Internet every football Sunday without seeming some insane video of Buffalo Bills fans abusing their bodies for the entertainment of the masses. In recent years, though, it's become more rare. That's not to say that Bills Mafia has turned more tame. It is unfortunately more likely that we all just got used to it and each folding table broken was less remarkable than the last. Bills fans gathered ahead of their divisional matchup with the New England Patriots on Sunday set a new standard, however. This time they lit the table on fire and jumped through it. Yes, it did lead to a fan catching aflame. No, it did not bother him nearly as much as it should've. Never doubt Bills Mafia finding new ways to endange…

X Won't Give Don Lemon Business Now That He Gave Elon Musk the Business

data-mm-id=”_rfowjenl3″>The Don Lemon Show was supposed to be one of the first programs featured in Twitter/X's groundbreaking pivot to video. Instead, Twitter has terminated its agreement with Lemon days before the first episode was supposed to air following an interview Lemon conducted with Elon Musk. In January, Lemon announced his new show on Twitter, which he had called the "biggest space for free speech in the world." According to Kara Swisher, Musk canceled the show after taping the interview, which included "questions about his ketamine use." SCOOP: As I told him would happen, @donlemon, the owner of this platform Elon Musk sent a terse text to his reps: “Contract terminated” after an interview Lemon did with Musk last Friday that was not to the adu…

NFL Insider Gives Major Update on Ja’Marr Chase’s Contract Offers From Bengals

data-mm-id=”_d7a69i8jp”>The Cincinnati Bengals have reportedly made “significant offers” to star wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, who has been holding out this summer in pursuit of a lucrative long-term contract extension. NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport provided key insights on "The Insiders" Wednesday, just as Chase returned to practice ahead of the Bengals' season opener against the New England Patriots. While no deal has been finalized, Rapoport emphasized that the negotiations are edging closer to Chase's desire: a contract comparable to or surpassing his former LSU teammate Justin Jefferson’s record-breaking $140 million extension with the Minnesota Vikings.Joe Burrow said Ja'Marr Chase is "Ready To Go" Bengals duo back in action for Week 1 pic…
