data-mm-id=”_2btcs65pz”>Mike McCarthy's final days as head coach of the Green Bay Packers were rife with turmoil, a fractured relationship with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, and ultimately, losses, which led to his dismissal midway through the 2018 season. While the jury's still out on which side was more responsible for the constant bickering which characterized the 2018 Packers, McCarthy has made it clear that he is not finished coaching.Does Odell Beckham Jr. really want out of Cleveland? @JayGlazer has the latest: pic.twitter.com/5XEDYj6Iba— FOX Sports: NFL (@NFLonFOX) December 8, 2019According to FOX Sports' Jay Glazer, McCarthy hired six employees to help him scout trends concerning "everything that's gone on during this entire season", and that he sa…
data-mm-id=”_dp9nqb0nw”>For months, it has seemed as if it will be a matter of not "if" Liverpool will win its first English league title in 30 years, but "when." The Reds have sat atop the Premier League table from the start of the season, and currently lead by 22 points over Manchester City with 10 matches to play. Which is awkward, because Jurgen Klopp's boys have picked a particularly bad time to hit a slump.After barely escaping a shocking FA Cup exit to third-tier Shrewsbury, Liverpool suffered an unexpected 1-0 defeat on the road to Atletico Madrid in the first leg of their Champions League tie. The Reds scraped out a 3-2 win over West Ham a week later, but their hopes for an undefeated league season went up in smoke five days later thanks to a shocking …
data-mm-id=”_8y278r9z2″>Daryl Morey has spent the last decade-plus in Houston proving he was the boldest decision-maker in the NBA. From the James Harden trade to the Chris Paul acquisition to the Russell Westbrook transaction, Morey was never afraid to swing big and swing hard. Some were home runs, some were whiffs of epic proportions. Such is life of a basketball general manager. Now, his reign has come to an end. Adrian Wojnarowski reports Morey is stepping down in Houston after 13 years at the helm. Per ESPN: “Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey is stepping down, sources told ESPN.
In the aftermath of Houston’s elimination from the NBA’s restart in Orlando, Florida, Morey approached owner Tilman Fertitta with the idea of leaving the job and the sides quietly worked through…
data-mm-id=”_fppm1pvfz”>Mike Gundy has apologized for publicly supporting One America News, a right-wing network he has supported in the past. Current and former players roasted Oklahoma State's football coach a after he posted a picture of himself wearing an OAN t-shirt. Following that uproar, some kind of public statement was likely. On Tuesday, Gundy released a one-minute video on Twitter apologizing for his support of OAN, a network which has — among other things — called the Black Lives Matter movement "a farce."Here's the video:pic.twitter.com/x4mjK6v3UV— Mike Gundy (@CoachGundy) June 16, 2020While Gundy is obviously reading a prepared statement, I'm not going to claim this wasn't sincere. Maybe his players did open his eyes to the hardships they…
data-mm-id=”_027wrrpaz”>In the NFL, privacy doesn't exist. If players running around in skin-tight spandex at the NFL Combine doesn't convince you of that fact, perhaps Matt Stafford and Ezekiel Elliott being publicly outed for testing positive for COVID (and Stafford didn't even have it) will. For some reason, Clay Matthews' agent, Ryan Williams, didn't get the memo because after Adam Schefter tweeted (sloppily I might add) that Matthews turned down an offer from the Denver Broncos to play for them, Williams released the following statement.

data-mm-id=”_dxugezs8d”>Ja Morant was seen at a Memphis Grizzlies game for the first time in weeks last night. Morant was permitted to return to the team for Monday evening's Dallas Mavericks game after serving his suspension from the NBA for having a gun at a strip club in Colorado. He did not play, as the team wants to gradually ramp him up back to playing shape, but he was on the bench and was giving a resounding ovation when he entered the arena. The Grizzlies would end up winning. Kyrie Irving did not accept Dillon Brooks' jersey swap proposal. And Morant was so jacked up after the victory that he crashed Santi Aldama's postgame interview with the local team affiliate. Ja Morant started reciting NBA Youngboy lyrics on his first night back 😂pic.twitter.com/CC…

data-mm-id=”_6ywfim6qc”>President Joe Biden and Dr. Jill Biden celebrated Halloween at the White House last night by giving out candy to trick-or-treaters. The President did not dress up for the holiday but his wife did as Jill Biden was a cat, complete with ears and a painted-on nose. A classic, safe Halloween choice. But nothing is safe these days. On Newsmax last night, host Chris Plante ripped into the presidential couple with a couple of cheap jokes before strangely claiming that "a lot of people" thought Jill Biden's cat makeup looked like she had a Hitler mustache.
