data-mm-id=”_trlqbvu5n”>The New York Knicks lost their championship game last night against the suddenly-hated Brooklyn Nets. ESPN's resident homer got as worked up over the contest as Julius Randle, only his adrenaline manifested in a more humorous way. Here Stephen A. Smith is, going way over-the-top in a mildly believable dramatic performance of a new character he's been workshopping in recent weeks: Guy Who Is Convinced the Knicks Are Back. I'm getting so emotional about my @Knicks right now. I’m just so proud. Hard to put into words ? pic.twitter.com/QYEFnj0bRe— Stephen A Smith (@stephenasmith) March 16, 2021Quite a performance. A shining example of why Smith is the highest-paid person at the network and is constantly being reimagined to create more content. He&…

Named after, but having no affiliation to, the NCAA basketball tournament, March Mammal Madness was started in 2013 at Arizona State by professor Katie Hinde.

data-mm-id=”_wno9iyrf6″>New York Jets head coach Robert Saleh, like a lot of people, uses TikTok. Since it's mid-August and people are desperate for anything NFL-related, this is clearly content. WFAN's "Joe Benigno" pounced on the opportunity to take something extremely innocuous and turn it into a potential international conspiracy on Boomer and Gio this morning, cooking up an absolutely absurd, yet humorous event horizon in which the Chinese somehow gain access to Gang Green's Week 1 playbook against the Buffalo Bills and then share that information with Sean McDermott.

While breaking down what went wrong for Republicans in some states, Santorum, the former Republican Senator from Pennsylvania, said the quiet part out loud, half-joking that Democracy is no way to run a country while complaining about Ohio's Issue 1 and Issue 2. this Newsmax copium is actually hitting pretty good pic.twitter.com/7UpFEar53Y— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) November 8, 2023"You put very sexy things like abortion and marijuana on the ballot and a lot of young people come out and vote," explained Santorum.

data-mm-id=”_ays17wike”>Donald Trump was in Iowa on Sunday, as he's often been recently when he can escape from his court proceedings in New York. He was there to give his supporters one last push with the Republican caucuses taking place on Monday. During his speech, though, we saw a fairly rare occurrence– a heckler made it into the crowd and called Trump out in the middle of speaking. A protestor in the crowd accused the former President of "taking in millions." After being interrupted, Trump stared blankly as the crowd booed before telling the protestor to "go home to mommy." Here's video: Wow, a heckler calls out Trump for taking in millions pic.twitter.com/Neo5KlMpFg— Acyn (@Acyn) January 14, 2024It is unclear what, exactly, the heckler was referr…

data-mm-id=”_yjqadgq8z”>Patrick Beverley is the NBA's main character on Friday after his ridiculous behavior Thursday night. Nick Wright is clearly sick of Beverley's antics and tore into him during an episode of First Things First. If you missed it, late in Game 6 of the Indiana Pacers-Milwaukee Bucks series Thursday night, Beverley threw a ball at a male Pacers fan who was taunting him. He apparently missed his target and hit a female fan. The veteran guard asked for the ball back, then threw it at the male fan again. The incident came in the last few minutes as Beverley's Bucks were trailing by 20 in a game they would lose 120-98. The loss eliminated the Bucks from the playoffs. After the game, Beverley refused questions from a media member when he found out she didn&…

The England right-back has missed the treble-winners’ last five matches after suffering a hamstring injury on international duty last month.

Clinton Morrison says he would be surprised to see Mohamed Salah stay at Liverpool after his touchline spat with Reds manager Jurgen Klopp.

during Liverpool s 2-2 draw at West Ham on Saturday afternoon, with the player waiting to come on as a substitute.

Martin Keown was high in praise of Arsenal defender William Saliba after his impressive performance against Manchester United on Sunday.

Saliba was named player of the match after helping keep a clean sheet at Old Trafford, his 18th in the Premier League this campaign.

The Gunners are back on top of the table , which came thanks to Leandro Trossard s 21st-minute goal.

Arsenal s defensive structure allowed Manchester United to have plenty of the ball but goalkeeper David Raya was not tested all game, with Saliba and Gabriel Magalhaes protecting the Spaniard s goal very well.

Following another rock-solid showing at the back for Arsenal, Keown has waxed lyrical about the French defender and hailed his centre-back partnership with Gabriel.
