Share this: FC Barcelona star Luis Suarez is the most well-known soccer player when it comes to biting an opponent, but the world might get to know El Salvador defender Henry Romero, too. He appeared to bite United States forward Jozy Altidore in the second half of the teams’ 2017 Gold Cup quarterfinal game Wednesday night at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. To the surprise of everyone watching, Romero was not given a straight red card for his actions. Romero had already been given a yellow card for a poor challenge in the 18th minute. He easily could have been shown five or six yellows for his reckless play throughout the game. CONCACAF might also take a further look at the incident and consider if

Rob Font Returns To Vegas Hoping To Prove Himself On Stacked UFC 213 Card
It was three years ago, to the day, when Rob Font introduced himself to the UFC faithful. Yet despite picking up a first-round knockout of George Roop and a Performance of the Night bonus on July 5, 2014, one memory is stronger than all the others. “Honestly, I just remember my girlfriend screaming so loud,” he said. “Before we walked down, we were talking about landing that shot and she was saying, ‘I know you can do it, go out there and do it,’ and as I did it, all I heard was ‘ROB!!! This is exactly what we talked about.’ If you really listen to the crowd, you can hear her.” Font laughs, and just like

Blue Jays Fan Throws Beer Can At Hyun-Soo Kim During AL Wild Card Game
You shouldn’t throw things at people. It’s just not very nice. But some fan in the outfield bleachers at Rogers Centre on Tuesday during the Toronto Blue Jays-Baltimore Orioles American League Wild Card Game apparently didn’t know that. As Orioles left fielder Hyun-Soo Kim went to catch a fly ball for the third out in the bottom of the seventh inning, someone threw a beer can onto the field, and it came dangerously close to hitting him. As Yahoo! Sports’ Jeff Passan pointed out, Blue Jays fans have a bit of history when it comes to throwing beer at Orioles players. Thumbnail photo via Nick Turchiaro/USA TODAY Sports Images< ...

WWE SummerSlam 2016 Live: Results, Highlights From Every Match In Brooklyn
Share this: 9:05 p.m.: John Stewart — shocker — interfered in the match. With Kofi Kingston knocked out and Xavier Woods about to be, Stewart hopped in the ring and served as a distraction. Just as Gallows and Anderson were about to drag Stewart (and his manhood) into the post like they did to Big E a few weeks ago, Big E himself showed up and ran down to the ring to save the day. The bell was rung at that point, Stewart’s groin was spared, and The New Day retain their WWE Tag Team Championship. 8:47 p.m.: John Stewart announces that he’ll join The New Day in the sted of injured member Big E. He also poked some fun at himself for hitting Cena
