Marcus Mariota Has Hilarious Reason For Apologizing To Titans Reporters
Marcus Mariota is known as one of the kindest NFL players, but even the softspoken Tennesee Titans quarterback can fall into a foul mood. Mariota was noticeably irritated with the media following Tennessee’s 12-7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 14. The Titans signal-caller’s lack of enthusiasm very well could have been due to his performance, as he completed 16 of 31 pass attempts for only 159 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions. Here’s Mariota’s postgame press conference: While no one would fault Mariota for being upset after a loss, his attitude wasn’t going to fly with his mother. Mariota’s mom thought her son was “r...

NBA Twitter Had Jokes After Kyrie Irving Trade Finally Was Completed
After more than a week, the deal finally is done. The Boston Celtics and Cleveland Cavaliers reportedly finalized their megadeal Wednesday that will send Kyrie Irving to Boston in exchange for Isaiah Thomas, Jae Crowder, Ante Zizic, the Brooklyn Nets’ 2018 first-round draft pick and a 2020 second-round pick.

Are Red Sox’s Opponents Adjusting To Chris Sale’s Pitching Approach?
Share this: Chris Sale hasn’t been quite as dominant lately as he was in his first several starts as a member of Boston Red Sox. Ahead of Sale’s 12th start for Boston, NESN’s Steve Lyons explained what’s been behind this slight dip in effectiveness Sunday on “Red Sox First Pitch,” presented by Men’s Wearhouse.

That’s not to say Sale is struggling — far from it. He’s completed seven or more innings in nine of his first 11 starts and ranks fifth in the American League with a 2.77
Preseason recap: Marc Marquez
Australia saw Marquez really get down to business, going fastest on Day 1 and then second on Day 2 – with a mammoth 102 laps completed on the second day. Another 96 laps on Day 3 saw Marquez in P2 and the only man other than Viñales to get below the 1:29 barrier, concentrating on the workload and not the timesheets. Always blisteringly fast at Phillip Island, the good end to the test was also backed up for the whole team by Dani Pedrosa in P3 – finishing off Phillip Island in style for Repsol Honda. Source link
