Share this: The backlash is in full swing. The 2017 Pro Bowl rosters were announced Tuesday, and like every other year, some people, including a few NFL players, weren’t happy with the results. Sure, there are plenty of others who couldn’t care less about the Pro Bowl, especially with the regular season winding down and the playoffs right around the corner. But earning a trip to the annual NFL All-Star event is nothing to sneeze at as a professional athlete when you consider how much work goes into performing at an elite level. This season’s Pro Bowl, which returns to an AFC vs. NFC format, is scheduled to take place Jan. 29 at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, Fla. Here are the players who

Share this: The Miami Dolphins delayed the seemingly inevitable for a little while longer.

Iman Shumpert Simply Cannot Believe The White House Podium Is Portable
Share this: Sometimes, the smallest things in life can leave us in wonder. Just ask Iman Shumpert, whose Cleveland Cavaliers paid a visit to the White House on Thursday to celebrate their 2016 NBA championship. As is custom, the Cavs posed for a group photo with Barack Obama, but the president’s podium was in the shot, so he had some staffers move it. Seems pretty routine, right? Not so for Shumpert, who was downright amazed when Obama’s aides magically whisked the podium away. Good luck finding anything that will leave you in as much awe as this momentous event left Shumpert. What makes this even better is that Shumpert’s teammates don’t seem to share his wonderment, leaving him looking around as if to say, “Is anyone

Is Adrien Broner Suicidal? Disturbing Instagram Posts Reportedly Scare His Frien…
Share this: While exaggeration is essential to boxing promotion, but Adrien Broner’s social media activity is scaring his friends and fans. TMZ reported Wednesday that Broner’s friends are concerned he might be having suicidal thoughts after the boxer posted disturbing messages on Instagram earlier in the day. Broner started by uploading an image that read “3 p.m.: I’m doing it I’m sorry to my family and friends but I don’t want to be here no more this s**t too much. He then posted a photo of a handgun and wrote, “I’m going home I love y’all.” He made another post, which read “25 minutes” shortly thereafter. TMZ tried in vain to contact to contact Broner and reported at least one of his friends asked the
Javier Baez Sends Cubs Home Winners In NLDS Game 1 With Winning Home Run
Share this: Maybe that even-year magic has run out. Instead, the Chicago Cubs were the ones who got the last laugh Friday in their National League Division Series Game 1 win over the San Francisco Giants. Javier Baez sent the Cubs home with a 1-0 win thanks to a solo home run in the bottom of the eighth inning. As a result, Chicago now has a 1-0 lead in the best-of-five-game series. Despite Baez’s homer, the real story was the pitching in this one. Jon Lester threw an absolute gem for the Cubs, shutting out the Giants over eight innings. He only allowed five hits and struck out five. Johnny Cueto was the tough-luck loser, but he still went the distance and allowed only three hits
Toronto Journalist Reportedly Identified As AL Wild Game Beer Chucker
Share this: Tuesday’s American League Wild Card Game between the Toronto Blue Jays and Baltimore Orioles was an instant classic, but history probably will remember it for one ugly incident instead. As Orioles left fielder Hyun Soo Kim went to make a catch during the bottom of the seventh inning, a fan threw a beer can that came very close to hitting him. The Blue Jays went on to win the game on a walk-off home run, but much of the talk Wednesday centered around Buck Showalter’s decision not to pitch Zach Britton and the beer-throwing incident. The Toronto Police posted a close-up photo on Twitter of the man believed to be the beer-can thrower and asked the public for help identifying him. And apparently it worked, because he has
