Stop us if you’ve heard this before: Kevin Love injured his left shoulder. The Cleveland Cavaliers big man appeared to suffer the injury during Wednesday’s game against the Los Angeles Lakers while being guarded by Kobe Bryant. It’s the same shoulder he injured during the 2015 playoffs against the Boston Celtics. There might be some good news, though. A stinger hurts, but it’s much better than another separated shoulder. Love and the Cavs can only hope that’s all it is. Thumbnail photo via David Richard/USA TODAY Sports Images ...

Jürgen Klopp Takes Moral Victory In Liverpool Effort, Still Disappointed In Loss
Jürgen Klopp insisted there were many positives to take from Liverpool’s performance at West Ham United but admitted the 2-1 defeat in the FA Cup ensured his side head home full of disappointment. The Reds recovered from Michail Antonio’s goal just before halftime to level the fourth-round replay through Philippe Coutinho’s excellent free-kick three minutes after the restart at the Boleyn Ground. They forged a number of chances to take the lead during the remainder of the 90 minutes and into extra-time — instead, the Hammers secured the result when Angelo Ogbonna headed the winner just as a penalty shootout loomed. In his post-match asse...
ESPN Radio Segment Interrupted When Car Crashes Into Studio (Audio)
When you work in sports radio, you never know what’s going to happen on a given day, but one thing you’re usually pretty sure of is that a car won’t come crashing through your studio window. If you work for ESPN 730 in Charlotte, however, you apparently have to be ready for that, too, as the crew learned Monday when a car crashed into their downtown studios during an on-air segment. The car certainly left its mark. As scary as the photos are, the audio might be even more frightening, as honestly, it almost sounds fake.
Panthers Fan Destroys TV During Epic Rampage Following Super Bowl 50 (Video)
Losing never is easy, and freakouts are bound to happen as a result. But one Carolina Panthers fan took things to a whole new level after his team fell to the Denver Broncos 24-10 in Super Bowl 50. Charles Green, aka “The Angry Grandpa,” apparently had some pent-up aggression, and he let it all out following Sunday’s game. He started his epic meltdown by ripping the TV off its stand and throwing it against a table. He then proceeded to hit it repeatedly with just about any object he could find. You can check it all out in the video below, but it comes with a NSFW warning due to explicit language. That poor TV. Thumbnail p...
Von Miller Forces Cam Newton To Fumble, Secures Super Bowl For Broncos (Video)
The Carolina Panthers had a chance to march down the field and take the lead in Super Bowl 50, but Von Miller made sure that didn’t happen. The Denver Broncos linebacker made a great individual effort to get to Panthers quarterback Cam Newton to force a fumble, which the Broncos recovered. And that wasn’t the first time Miller made an impact Sunday with a big forced fumble. Denver capitalized a few plays later when C.J. Anderson scored the Super Bowl-sealing touchdown on a 2-yard run into the end zone. The Broncos won the game 24-10. Thumbnail photo via Richard Mackson/USA TODAY Sports Images ...
Leicester City Clobbers Manchester City 3-1, Increases Premier League Lead
If the Premier League didn’t think Leicester City had a realistic chance of becoming champions this season, the other 19 clubs better take them seriously from this point forward. Leicester City, who was four points adrift of relegation at this point last season, increased its lead atop the Premier League standings to six points — the largest of the season — with a dominant 3-1 win over second-place Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium on Saturday. The win was so impressive that Leicester City’s website crashed shortly after the final whistle because so many people were trying to access the page. Robert Huth easily was the man of the matc...
