data-mm-id=”_vl34r8m2x”>It all came down to the wire, but the NFL and the NFLPA have agreed to most of the important health guidelines they'll need to adhere to in order to have a 2020 season. The finer details still need to be worked out, but players will be tested daily and enough safety measures will be installed for everyone to feel comfortable about reporting to camp over the next few weeks. As the final big domino to fall, the NFL capitulated and told the NFLPA that there will be no preseason games in 2020. The players didn't want to play any exhibition games because it seemed like an unnecessary risk, which is true. Preseason games are important for roster evaluation, but that pales in comparison to the importance of keeping everyone as virus-free as possible before th…
data-mm-id=”_spe6ad6n6″>A picture of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg with what many are describing as an unreasonable amount of sunscreen on his face has gone viral, which is unfortunate because it feels like an invasion of privacy when people recognize something about your facial features against your will. The billionaire was spotted surfing on what I assume is a giant, aqua-friendly laptop in Hawaii while looking like anyone from Crazy Joe Davola, Mrs. Doubtfire, an aspiring mime and/or The Joker.

data-mm-id=”_15nmuka09″>Den of Thieves is a wonderful little action movie. It's meatheaded as hell, but it's also Heat meets Ocean's 11 meets a nu metal music video. It is completely aggro in an entertaining way and I enjoyed it enough that I almost want to hear what Bill Simmons and his buddies have to say about it. Almost.I was shocked by how good the movie was. The TV spot looked good, but the full trailer looked horrible. Why was it called Den of Thieves? I have no idea, but it was fun.Of course, the movie was not without its faults. The women – a wife who had been cheated on and her two daughters, a bunch of prostitutes, some nameless, voiceless significant others at a restaurant, and a stripper – didn't exactly get to shine. Like if Heat took out all the flowe…
data-mm-id=”_s3q1m9dn6″>This will be shocking to you, dear reader, but James Dolan is up to his old tricks again. On Saturday afternoon, the New York Post reported Dolan donated $50,000 to a Republican PAC in support of GOP congressional candidate Nicole Malliotakis, currently attempting to earn a Republican Congress seat in Staten Island. That alone is not particularly remarkable. But, according to The Post, the motivation behind Dolan's donation was one born of pettiness. Democratic representative Max Rose, the incumbent politician holding the seat that Malliotakis wants, said Dolan should sell the New York Knicks to TMZ last week. He is not the first person to believe this and express it in a public forum, and he will certainly not be the last. That apparently rubbed Dolan the …
data-mm-id=”_6p6mvtilf”>The New York Jets are having yet another terrible year with Adam Gase at the head. Sam Darnold, a quarterback once seen as one of the most promising in the league, has not improved after another year under Gase's tutelage. It's hard to say how much of that is Darnold's when Gase's inability to get the best out of his players has been abundantly clear, but either way, it's hard to feel optimistic about Darnold after a year and a half of poor play. It is tempting to wonder what Darnold might be like when he isn't playing for Gase and Gang Green. Much of what made him an attractive prospect to begin is still there, and sometimes a change of scenery is all a player needs in order to succeed. Colin Cowherd discussed that very idea today …
data-mm-id=”_0qildz6b6″>Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty hit some speed bumps in Episode 3 as the team turned its attention to the coaching search and Magic Johnson made some new friends. Both the main stories this week involved the coaching search as Dr. Jerry Buss set his sights on UNLV's notorious and legendary coach Jerry Tarkanian. Meanwhile, back at the office Jerry West broke down film trying to find his replacement. West was less than receptive to the top candidates as Jason Clarke delivered what may be the line of the century.God bless whoever’s turn it is to defend Jerry West’s reputation this week pic.twitter.com/rTXwL0CtYS— Stephen Douglas (@Stephen_Douglas) March 21, 2022All the while Pat Riley, one of the best coaches in NBA history, played by Adria…
data-mm-id=”_9lvy5rz1b”>Jalen Carter is going through some things and that showed during his workout at Georgia's Pro Day. Once billed as a potential No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, Carter has seen his stock plummet due to revelations about his involvement in a car accident that resulted in the death of a teammate. On Wednesday, he tanked his workout, likely forcing his stock down even further. Carter is 6-foot-3 and weighed in at 323 points on Wednesday, nine pounds heavier than at the NFL combine two weeks ago. What's worse, he couldn't finish his position drills, and opted not to participate in the 40-yard dash, cone drills or any other physical tests. He didn't finish his position work after he was cramping up and breathing heavily. All 32 NFL teams were in at…
data-mm-id=”_78vzkap2j”>The Atlanta Falcons have a halftime bit during the regular season where they invite a Pee Wee football team to come and play on the field against a team of mascots. As you might imagine this leads to more than a few Not Top 10 moments. On Sunday there was such an event as the Falcons took a breather during their contest against the Green Bay Packers. Probably because their opponent was the Packers the mascot team had a piece of cheese on it. The Packers do not have an official mascot (like the Carolina Panthers with Sir Purr, who was also on the field) so I guess they threw the cheese in there as a nod to the Cheeseheads thing. Or whatever. Anyway the cheese mascot showed no mercy out there and stiff-armed a small child on a toss play. The mascot just stiff-arme…
data-mm-id=”_ufgseepzu”>The Dallas Cowboys destroyed the New York Giants, 40-0, in one of the more lopsided games you'll ever see. With the game never in doubt, the second half was mostly about filling time for Mike Tirico and Cris Collinsworth, luckily, they had some material ready to go about a 4-year old Tony Pollard playing tackle football with older kids.

He's on the team with a bunch of 7-year olds, out there, and one of the first drills was that he had to tackle a whole line of people coming at him one at a time. He started crying wanting to go home and his dad said nope …
data-mm-id=”_2v3niijnz”>The Dallas Cowboys hammered the Carolina Panthers 33-10 on Sunday and the defense was dominant despite linebacker Micah Parsons throwing up on the sidelines early in the game. We now know what made the All-Pro sick. Apparently Parson took some C4 energy powder before the game. A popular pre-workout supplement, apparently he thought it would give him extra energy. It maybe worked a little too well. Parsons explained that he got some water to help it go down and by the fifth play of the game it felt like his heart was going to "jump outta my chest." He vowed to never use it again. Micah Parsons was not sick. He took some C4 energy powder before the game. “I got some water to help put it down. By the fifth play it felt like my heart was gonna jump outta…
