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...

LaVar Ball Loses Mind, Pulls AAU Team From Playoff Game After Getting Tech
Share this: LaVar Ball clearly was not happy with the officiating Saturday at his AAU team’s Double Pump Best of Summer Tournament in California. Ball coaches the Big Ballers, an AAU team that features his youngest son, LaMelo Ball, and they were playing the Clutch Players Navy in a playoff game when a referee made a foul call that Ball didn’t like. At first, Ball simply told the ref, “That’s not a foul, that’s not a foul,” but he continued to voice his displeasure by swearing. His language earned him a technical foul, after which he proceeded to pull the Big Ballers from a game they were winning 69-60 and walk off the court. The Clutch Players Navy won by forfeit.

Did LaMarcus Aldridge Try To Injure Kevin Durant As Revenge For Kawhi Leonard?

Many are wondering just that after LaMarcus Aldridge appeared to try to injure Kevin Durant on Tuesday during Game 2 of the Western Conference finals series between the Spurs and Golden State Warriors. Late in the second quarter, Aldridge seemingly stepped into Durant’s shooting space. Aldridge’s effort evoked memories of Game 1 when Warriors center Zaza Pachulia injured Spurs forward Kawhi Leonard on a similarly dirty play. Leonard left Game 1 and sat out Game 2 due to an ankle injury Pachulia’s foul caused. Prosecutors might speculate Aldridge had motive to target Durant. Perhaps he was trying to spark a furious comeback, as was the case in Game 1 when the Warriors outscored

VCU Finds New Miracle Way To Win With Last-Second Foul On Inbounds
Share this: Virginia Commonwealth’s mascot is the Rams, but a four leaf clover might be a more representative choice after the way it won its last two games. On Saturday, the Rams pulled a rabbit out of their hat thanks to St. Bonaventure, which was called for a technical foul after its fans prematurely rushed the court after the Bonnies made what they believed to be a game-winning 3-pointer in the closing seconds. But there still was time on the clock, and VCU went on to win in overtime. Now fast forward to Wednesday, when VCU once again was down by a point with 0.4 seconds left. It would have been tough for the Rams to inbound the pass from the other end of the court and
