Share this: Things can get pretty nasty on the track for NASCAR drivers. And, at least for Dale Earnhardt Jr., even an average bike ride can lack cordial behavior. During a Tuesday edition of Earnhardt’s “Dale Jr. Download” podcast, the Hendrick Motorsports driver talked about a recent bike ride he went on with teammate Jimmie Johnson, during which Earnhardt was given the finger by a passing driver. To make matters worse for Earnhardt, he had to wear an outfit that made him feeling a little self-conscious.

Moreover, spandex aren’t so bad, you just have to believe

Floyd Mayweather Wants Conor McGregor To ‘Sign The Paper’ For Mega-Fight
Share this: It sounds like Floyd Mayweather Jr. finally is ready to get in the ring with UFC champion Conor McGregor. All he needs is McGregor’s signature. Mayweather spoke to ESPN’s Ben Dirs in London about the potential mega-fight with the Irish UFC star, claiming he’s just waiting on McGregor to put pen to paper to make the fight happen. “If Conor McGregor really wants this fight to happen, stop blowing smoke up everybody’s ass,” Mayweather told Dirs. “Sign the paper.

Steve Smith, NFL Reporter, Breaks News About Torrey Smith’s Release
Share this: Steve Smith Sr. broke NFL defenders’ spirits for 16 years. Now, he’s breaking news. The decorated wide receiver landed a job as an NFL Media analyst this offseason after announcing his retirement from football in January. But apparently Smith is more than just a talking head.

But Steve Smith’s report was legit, according to the king of breaking news himself, ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Sure enough, Torrey Smith took to Instagram later Monday to post a long “thank

Timberwolves-Blazers Game Postponed Due To Slippery Court Conditions
Share this: The Minnesota Timberwolves and Portland Trail Blazers were supposed to play an important game Monday night as the two clubs try to climb into the Western Conference playoff picture. That game, however, will have to be played at another time as the game was postponed due to slippery court conditions. The slippery conditions were caused by condensation from a sheet of ice underneath the court. The ice sheet was placed there to accommodate a Disney On Ice performance this past weekend, as well as the upcoming National Collegiate Hockey Conference Tournament. And the NCHC had some fun with the mishap via their Twitter account. The Blazers came into the game just 1.5 games back of the Denver Nuggets for the eighth seed in the
