data-mm-id=”_mqn8xd68i”>Marcus Morris went after Luka Doncic again. A few days after the Los Angeles Clippers forward appeared to intentionally step on Doncic's injured ankle during Game 5 of their playoff series, Morris hammered the Dallas Maverick star on a drive. He was assessed a Flagrant 2 and ejected from the game. Here are a few angles of it:Marcus Morris Sr. has been ejected following excess contact on Luka Doncic. pic.twitter.com/jP7LaSAzn4— FOX Sports West (@FoxSportsWest) August 30, 2020Morris vs Doncic, Morris ejected pic.twitter.com/gL1MrX4xnT— CJ Fogler #BlackLivesMatter (@cjzero) August 30, 2020Marcus Morris has been ejected for this foul on Luka Doncic pic.twitter.com/uY1R0DomW8— The Undefeated (@TheUndefeated) August 30, 2020Here's a still:Clippers' Marcus Morris has been ejected from Game 6 pic.twitter.com/hCMpFI4TlZ— Sports Illustrated (@SInow) August 30, 2020That's a really hard foul from behind and it didn't appear Morris had any interest in going for the ball. Given his reputation and history, and considering what he did to Doncic in Game 5 of this series, this was the right call.The NBA protects its stars from this kind of thing and Doncic is absolutely a star now. The league can't let players get away with consistently dirty play, let alone against one of its brightest talents. The Mavericks and Clippers are locked in a tight battle in Game 6, so Morris could have really helped his team.

Thomas Tuchel is not worried about upsetting Chelsea’s players by admonishing them during games and said he has mellowed on the touchline in recent years, admitting “nobody was safe” from him at the start of his managerial career.
Tuchel showed his ruthless side when he substituted Callum Hudson-Odoi on and off during Chelsea’s draw with Southampton last month and he was heard criticising Timo Werner’s positioning during his side’s win over Everton on Monday. The former Paris Saint-Germain manager told the forward in German: “Timo, how long are you staying on the left? You’re playing on the right! The last 15 minutes you’ve only been on the left! Don’t you understand?”

1) Ten Hag confuses with Casemiro derby decision
Erik ten Hag is nothing if not a Serious Football Man, but there was an element of comedy about Manchester United’s unravelling at the Etihad. It was there in the comment from Ten Hag that Cristiano Ronaldo did not appear “out of respect for his big career”. That may or may not be a brilliant caustic joke. More significantly it was there on Casemiro’s face as he came on with the game already dead, having worked his way through five Champions League medals only to discover that, in fact, he’s not as good as Scott McTominay. So, some useful information there for the Brazilian. Ten Hag is the latest United manager caught between ill-…
Brendan Rodgers has insisted any offence taken by Philippe Clement over comments the Celtic manager made in relation to Saturday’s Old Firm derby is “without merit”.
Rodgers’ opposite number at Rangers claimed his rival lacked respect after promising Celtic would have “a bit of fun” in what is being widely billed as a title decider. Celtic lead Rangers by three points with the same number of Premiership games remaining.
“I think anyone who was at my press conference would have sensed the way in which it was said,” Rodgers said. “The reaction to that is totally without merit. It has no context whatsoever.
“I have never referred to these [games] other than being intense, b…

That's the word from Peter Kafka. He reports: People familiar with both companies say they haven't agreed on final terms, but are now negotiating exclusively and have agreed on a price: If the transaction goes through, Time Warner's cable network unit is set to pay more than $200 million for the sports site. Two hundred million dollars. That'll buy a lot of unpaid contributors! Turner wants a sports site—it manages NBA.com and PGA.com but owns neither—after it split from managing Sports Illustrated's site. Why not just buy one? Kafka reports that SI and Bleacher Report's monthly traffic (roughly 9 million uniques a month, according to comScore) is about the same. Turner nearly bought Bleacher Report last month before backing out. [ AllThingsD] …
Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Corey Seager will miss the rest of the season after undergoing Tommy John surgery, the team announced today. He has some excellent company on the disabled list, joining a solid crew of teammates that currently includes Justin Turner, Yasiel Puig, Logan Forsythe, Rich Hill and Julio Urias. Hampered by those injuries, the team has gotten off to a 12-15 start—and losing Seager, the 2016 Rookie of the Year, is the most serious blow yet. The Dodgers don’t have great depth at short to replace him; utility man Enrique Hernandez can work there, and they’ve called up non-prospect rookie Breyvic Valera as another option, but neither of those choices feels particularly heartwarming when the goal is to replace a guy who’s earned MVP votes in each of his two maj…
Some people are fans of the Cleveland Browns. But many, many more people are NOT fans of the Cleveland Browns. This 2015 Deadspin NFL team preview is for those in the latter group. Read all the previews so far here. Your team: Cleveland Browns: Your 2014 record: 7-9. I’m as stunned as you are. They should hang a banner. Your coach: Mike Pettine. Keep in mind that the Browns fired poor Rob Chudzinski after just one season, and Pettine was the only person out there willing to replace him. And how did the Browns reward him for volunteering to throw himself into the dumpster fire? By having their moron GM send illegal texts to the sideline during games to actively bitch about Pettine’s handiwork. Only the Browns could find a way to cheat (and get caught and punished) in a way that o…

Do me a favor. Click this link, check out the headline, then come back. I'll wait. *taps foot patiently* On the day that he was assigned to write that article, I'm guessing that Lester Haines had a pretty good day at work. No less than three cock puns appear in the article, and anytime you can get paid to make cock puns, well, that's a good day. The gist, if you were too lazy to click the link, is that New Zealand has named their national badminton team the "Black Cocks." Now, they're considering changing it, because the International Badminton Federation doesn't like it. I guess they weren't able to look into the future and predict that any controversy might arise from the term "Black Cocks." If they think they have problems, they s…
