Share this: New York Mets pitcher Noah Syndergaard is used to roasting batters with his 100-plus mph heater and wipeout slider. But, Syndergaard had the tables turned on him Tuesday when he hilariously was burned by none other than his own mascot, Mr. Met. The flamethrower wasn’t going to take that lying down, however. @MrMet I already have plans tonight with someone. Pretty sure you know her…… — Noah Syndergaard (@Noahsyndergaard) February 14, 2017 Then Mr. Met hit “Thor” with the hammer. Syndergaard only had one response. Well played, Mr. Met.

Conor McGregor Hits Back At Floyd Mayweather Jr. With Hilarious Tweet
Share this: Another day, another ridiculous amount of rumors surrounding that potential Floyd Mayweather Jr./Conor McGregor superfight. Tuesday started with the bombshell report that the two fighters finally had agreed to a deal, but Mayweather put cold water on the rumor with a tweet, in which he called himself “happily retired.” You knew somehow, someway McGregor would respond, and he also chose Twitter for his latest jab in the ongoing war of words between the two fighters. So maybe we aren’t closer to that dream superfight after all? But if it ever does happen, Nevada State Athletic Commission executive director Bob Bennett told Mike Coppinger of USA TODAY Sports “that’s certainly a fight that we would approve and have in Vegas.” Thumbnail photo Per Haljestam/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link
There’s An Alternate Universe Where Julian Edelman Is With The Packers
Share this: Green Bay Packers fans might want to skip this story from New England Patriots wide receiver Julian Edelman. Let’s just say his miraculous catch 10 days ago could have helped the Packers, not the Patriots, win Super Bowl LI. Edelman appeared on NFL Network’s “Total Access” on Tuesday night and was asked how he wound up with the Patriots after he wasn’t even invited to the 2009 NFL Scouting Combine while coming out of Kent State as a quarterback (did you know Edelman played quarterback in college?!) It’s a lengthy tale from Edelman but worth reading in its entirety. “It’s crazy, so the whole not going to the combine thing, you have your pro day, and so at your pro day you go,

NBA Rumors: Celtics Didn’t Want To Part With Prospects For Serge Ibaka
Share this: The Toronto Raptors acquired forward Serge Ibaka from the Orlando Magic on Tuesday, but that might only be due to the fact that the Boston Celtics were unwilling to make a deal. The Celtics, who are looking to sure up a questionable interior defense, were interested in obtaining the athletic big man, but the C’s felt that the Magic’s asking price of a first-round pick and a young prospect, namely guard Terry Rozier, was too high, according to Jared Weiss of Celticsblog.com and sources. The Celtics were wise not to part ways with valuable assets, such as Rozier and a first-round pick, for a big who appears to be on the downside of his career. Ibaka made three-straight all-defensive first teams from
Beanpot 2017 Notes: Harvard Breaks ‘Curse,’ Earns Historic Win Over BU
Share this: BOSTON — It wasn’t exactly an 86-year championship curse like the Red Sox finally broke in the 2004 World Series, but Harvard had a pretty big drought of its own.
