data-mm-id=”_7kolgov0z”>The Houston Astros are currently embroiled in an incredible cheating scandal that involves both the latest technology and literal garbage. Major League Baseball today announced that they were expanding their investigation into the Astros alleged sign-stealing to include the 2018 and 2019 seasons. And now there's this Astros sign-stealing bobblehead. Just gonna leave this right here and slowly back away… ?@wyshynski pic.twitter.com/pPg6VgPJMA— BobbleHouse® (@BobbleHouse16) November 22, 2019The bobblehead features an Astros employee wearing a jersey that says MVP, holding a Macbook next to a trash bin. The spring effect on the mallet he uses to smash the trash can is the perfect final touch. It doesn't appear that this is being sold anywhere, but it…
data-mm-id=”_yif76v56v”>ESPN NFL reporter Jeff Darlington named the Tennessee Titans as the favorites to land Tom Brady on Adam Schefter's podcast earlier this week. According to Darlington, the Titans are followed by Las Vegas and New England..@TomBrady to…….. Tennessee? Las Vegas?@AdamSchefter on the latest landing spot he’s heard for the #NFL ?: pic.twitter.com/CXNk748AQu— Rich Eisen Show (@RichEisenShow) February 19, 2020Schefter, speaking on the Rich Eisen Show, noted Darlington is “a lot more connected to that particular situation than a lot of people realize.” This news is surprising. The Titans are rarely brought up in the discussion and the oddsmakers have them at 16-1 to add the quarterback. The Patriots, Raiders, and Chargers have been the three most rumored…
data-mm-id=”_8yklj1oaf”>The Los Angeles Lakers will face off against the Miami Heat in the strangest NBA Finals in history. Similar to the Eastern Conference Finals, it will be a tale of two teams: one loaded with lottery-caliber talent in Los Angeles and one greater than the sum of its parts in Miami. Jimmy Butler will take on LeBron James. Bam Adebayo will face his biggest test to date against Anthony Davis. The biggest contrast between the two squads comes in the form of their preferred method of offense. The Heat love to shoot three-pointers. They averaged 35.4 attempts from deep per game during the regular season and made 37.9 percent of them, good for second in the league behind the Utah Jazz. The Lakers, meanwhile, are… not of the same mindset. They attempted only 31 per game…
data-mm-id=”_4zp6b5idv”>The pieces are falling into place for the NBA to hit their target date of July 31 to resume play. Adrian Wojnarowski has been reporting all week that the league is expected to pass a proposed plan to have 22 teams travel to Orlando. This plan would include a play-in tournament for the last seed in each conference. Wednesday is when the details of the plan started to leak. Shams Charania reported the exact format of the play-in, and Wojnarowski reported how many games will be played before the playoffs start. Here's how it will go down: The 16 playoff teams, along with the next six best teams by record (the Pelicans, Spurs, Trail Blazers, Kings, Suns, and Wizards) will play eight regular-season games that will serve to both determine seeding and give everyon…

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.

data-mm-id=”_spx7j44ea”>As we documented earlier today, Jalen Ramsey and Golden Tate really don't like each other. They have deep family history and an ongoing feud and it got worse on Sunday. After Ramsey's Los Angeles Rams beat Tate's New York Giants 17-9, the two met at midfield and threw punches at each other. Ramsey and Tate walked toward each other after the final whistle. They both took swings almost simultaneously and then went down in a heap. Their teammates pulled them apart.— Greg Beacham (@gregbeacham) October 4, 2020Jalen Ramsey and Golden Tate, real life beef playing out of the football field where it can pic.twitter.com/LGlWcxCUh5— Keith McPherson (@Keith_McPherson) October 4, 2020There’s a fight on the field after the game clock hits zero, press box…
data-mm-id=”_y29x56b4d”>The honeymoon phase of Sean McVay and Jared Goff's relationship is long past. The Los Angeles Rams' head coach did all he could to elevate his middling quarterback's career. If nothing else, he helped Goff cash in on an undeserved contract extension that at one point made him the highest-paid player in NFL history in terms of guaranteed money. That's history now. The future seems bleak. NFL Network insider Steve Wyche reported Monday that the relationship between McVay and Goff is, "not great" and added, "they need marriage counseling" this offseason. Regardless of how that turns out, they're not getting divorced until 2022 at the earliest. “The people I’ve spoken to said basically at this moment the relationship with…
data-mm-id=”_e2ttiteiu”>Baseball is a unique sport for many reasons, one of which is that every player gets to choose introduction music that plays every time they enter the game. Walk-up songs, as they are known, are an art form. If a great player chooses a great walk-up song, they become synonymous. Even casual baseball fans know that Mariano Rivera always came out to "Enter Sandman" by Metallica. Or that Charlie Sheen's character in Major League always came out to "Wild Thing" by The Troggs. Thus, we present to you a list of the best walkup songs for the 2022 MLB season, as per MLB dotcom's walkup song database.

It appeared multiple twisters touched down over the course of an hour, during which tornado sirens were ringing in downtown Chicago. Both Midway and O'Hare airports had tornado sightings.

data-mm-id=”_ux3e632x9″>Today's episode of First Take was filled with the usual shouting about the weekend's slate of NFL games and what have you but the final moments gave viewers some bonus non-sports content. As the show signed off at noon, Molly Qerim mentioned to Shannon Sharpe that she didn't know what Naked & Afraid was because she does not have HBO's streaming service, nowadays known as Max. When asked why, Qerim bemoaned how many streaming services she already pays for and isn't interested in forking over even more for Max. Sharpe and Stephen A. Smith immediately labeled Qerim as cheap for holding that opinion, reminding her that she is a host of a nationally-televised studio show. Sharpe went so far as to claim it was "unbecoming." Molly…
