It's also opened up the floor for debates like, "Who is his best teammate?" Today on First Take, Stephen A. Smith took a side. .@stephenasmith still considers Dwyane Wade to be the best teammate LeBron has ever had, ahead of Anthony Davis. pic.twitter.com/a00UbmimFg— First Take (@FirstTake) October 7, 2020That's a fine argument. And before we get into it, let's shout out Chris Bosh and Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving who were all really good at basketball at certain points in their lives. They just aren't on the same level as Anthony Davis and Dwyane Wade. There is no…

With the loss the Wizards dropped to 3-11 on the season, the worst record in the NBA. After the game Beal was asked if he was frustrated. His answer? "Is the sky blue?" What we have here is some true sadness.Reporter: "Are you frustrated?"Bradley Beal: "Is the sky blue?" pic.twitter.com/YgXHs9ICXy— Hoop District (@Hoop_District) January 28, 2021This is not normal in the NBA. Players of Beal's caliber have usually forced their way out of town by now. Beal could have walked, but he decided to try and make things work in Washington when he signed a two-year extension ahead of last season that will keep him in Washington through 2…
data-mm-id=”_1bo7p67ga”>Week 7 of the college football season fast approaches. The Big Lead missed last week but everyone missteps sometimes. Best to just get back on the horse and get after it. So let's do just that. No. 10 PENN STATE (+7) over No. 7 MICHIGAN What an electric matchup for the Big Noon game. Penn State is going to have a hard time earning the upset here because Jim Harbaugh defends his home turf like few other coaches in the Big Ten, but that seven-point line is a bit too juicy for our liking. A quality affair for the early window that will come down to the wire. Michigan 21, Penn State 17 No. 3 ALABAMA (-7.5) over No. 6 TENNESSEETennessee has been awesome this year. They haven't played a team like Alabama. The general viewing population is low on the Crimson …
data-mm-id=”_jpijaobrj”>Twitter has undergone one of the dumber rebrandings in history as Elon Musk insists that the social media company is now called "X," which is the same thing he's been trying to name everything he's been involved with for more than two decades. Anyway, everyone hates it and no one is going to call it that. Partly because we've all had Twitter in our lives for more than a decade and partly because there are a lot of other things that we've associated with X. PornographyX-rated films have been around since 1968 when Brian De Palma's Greetings earned the first X (later changed to an R). If you don't know that trivia answer, you might be more familiar with Ti West's X starring Mia Goth. That's a movie about people mak…
data-mm-id=”_ygn3b0auv”>Like it or not, Jim 'Mattress Mack' McIngvale is a person who is in our sporting lives and when he makes a big bet, people are going to know about it. The bedding titan won an astounding $75 million when his beloved Houston Astros won the World Series last year, plus he's moving a lot of mattresses so he could afford to throw down at least $7.9 million — he told Action Network it could be more — on Dusty Baker's team repeating this year. That didn't look good when the Texas Rangers jumped out to a 2-0 ALCS lead but looked pretty solid when Houston bounce back to take a 3-2 advantage. There was a camera trained on him during last night's do-or-die Game 7 and all it captured was swift and immediate pain as the Rangers po…

data-mm-id=”_mn2v8irov”>We've said a lot of favorable things about Good Morning Football through the years and we'll continue to do so as long as everyone associated with the show refuses to rest on laurels and keeps producing one hell of a good show. Viewers are hard-pressed to find a more imaginative daily sports offering on their television dial or streaming device or wherever eyeballs exist in front of screens now. And the daily part is super important in understanding why it's such an impressive property. They may never say it this plainly but it's a real challenge to talk NFL year-round, looking under rocks for something interesting during the dog days of the offseason. Yet GMFB doesn't coast. It keeps pushing like its lead by an old sourdough coach who f…
data-mm-id=”_qk9ty0g2i”>Draymond Green served a lengthy suspension and is now a changed man. Or perhaps not as shades of the old Green appeared on Wednesday night as the Warriors star found himself in dustups with multiple opposing players as Golden State crushed the Memphis Grizzlies to keep pace in the Western Conference playoff chase. It all started when Memphis big man Santi Aldama had the nerve to try to run down the court after converting a close-range look and bumped into Green. The Warriors heart and soul took exception to this, overrreacting and grabbing Aldama's jersey. The home broadcast hilariously accused Aldama of trying to bait poor ol' Draymond. Warriors and Grizzlies get chippy 😳Draymond and Desmond Bane's confrontation led to Memphis' coach …

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp lost his temper and shoved goalkeeping coach John Achterberg during their loss to Everton on Wednesday night.
Just over a month ago they were chasing an unprecedented but unlikely quadruple but a week after exiting Europe their Premier League title hopes were left in tatters after losing 2-0 at Everton in the 244th Merseyside derby.
