Kevin Garnett had a reunion with some former Boston Celtics teammates on “KG’s Area 21” segment Monday on TNT, with one notable exclusion — Ray Allen. Garnett was joined by Paul Pierce, Rajon Rondo, Glen “Big Baby” Davis and Kendrick Perkins and, of course, some hilarity ensued. But eventually, Garnett and Pierce explained their feelings toward Allen, who left the Celtics for the Miami Heat after the 2011-12 season, and obviously, there still are some hard feelings, at least on one end. “People don’t understand that this is real life for us,” Garnett said, as transcribed by For The Win’s Andrew Joseph. “The situation with R...

David Coulthard Thinks Lewis Hamilton Could Say ‘F—k It,’ Leave F1
Nico Rosberg’s battle with Lewis Hamilton on the way to winning the 2016 Formula One driver championship was so mentally taxing the German retired just weeks after the final race.

Bill Belichick Taunts Colts-Fan David Letterman: ‘It Was Only A 38-Point Win’
Bill Belichick might have smiled more in his appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman” than in all of 2014 combined. The New England Patriots head coach was funny and laid back in his talk show appearance, and some of his best moments came when he was taunting Letterman, a huge Indianapolis Colts fan. “You pretty much extinguished my Colts,” Letterman said. “How do you feel about that?” “Well, it was only a 38-point win,” Belichick said smiling about the Patriots’ 45-7 AFC Championship Game win. When the subject turned to running back LeGarrette Blount, Belichick got another dig in. “He had a good gam...
