Say what you want about Tim Tebow the athlete, but Tim Tebow the person is pretty awesome. The former NFL quarterback and current New York Mets spring training hopeful recently was interviewed by People’s Steve Helling, and the headline was the non-sports goal he mentioned. “I want to adopt so badly,” he told People. “I can’t wait. It’s definitely something I see in my future. You know what I think would be awesome? If I could adopt a kid from every continent. I think that would be a pretty cool goal. I want to sit around the dinner table ever night and see kids from Africa, Asia, Europe, South America, right here in the

NBA Slam Dunk Contest: Glenn Robinson III Shines In Overall Dreadful Competition
Share this: The 2017 Verizon Slam Dunk Contest was one for the ages, for all the wrong reasons. It was a pretty miserable way to cap off NBA All-Star Saturday, as there felt like there were just as many misses as made dunks. However, the Indiana Pacers’ Glenn Robinson III was one of the lone bright spots, as he went on to win the contest. That last one sealed the deal for Robinson in the finals over the Phoenix Suns’ Derrick Jones Jr., who had some pretty impressive dunks of his own in the first round. But he failed to make a single attempt for his first dunk before finishing his night with this: Aaron Gordon and DeAndre Jordan, the other two competitors in the dunk
Jim Harbaugh Tweets Epic Insult At ‘Pete’ Finebaum Over SEC, Alternative Facts
Share this: If you don’t follow Michigan head coach Jim Harbaugh on Twitter, you need to up your internet game. Harbaugh is as unintentionally funny as they come on social media, especially when he’s drinking milk at a steakhouse. But his best work yet might have come Thursday when he trolled SEC media giant Paul Finebaum — or should we say, “Pete.” We’re not sure what, if anything, led to this hilarious President Donald Trump-esque tweet Thursday, but there is a pretty lengthy list of grievances Harbaugh could have against “The Paul Finebaum Show” host. As SB Nation pointed out, Finebaum has gone after Harbaugh and Michigan multiple times, including for his salary. Biased media. Sad!

Atlanta Hawks’ Twitter Account Got Pretty Cocky Before Patriots’ Super Bowl Comeback
The Atlanta Hawks learned the hard way Sunday night you can’t ever count out Tom Brady and the New England Patriots — and no, that’s not a typo: We’re talking about the NBA team — not the NFL team, the Falcons, which blew a 25-point lead in the biggest Super Bowl choke of all time. The Hawks have one of the NBA’s most active (and sometimes aggressive) Twitter accounts. Often times, the Hawks’ social media team is downright funny. But they got a little carried away Sunday night while tweeting about Super Bowl LI. Here’s how the Hawks started the night: Bold move. Comparing a first-round NBA playoffs series to the Super Bowl is
How Barcelona raised Thiago Motta’s horizons
Having joined the club's academy as a teenager, Thiago Motta was deeply influenced by his time at Barcelona, but now he is eager to stand up to his old employers with Paris in the UEFA Champions League round of 16. The Italian international midfielder, 34, spoke to UEFA.com.On facing Barcelona again ... Barcelona are the favourites – that's pretty obvious, you can see that in everyone's eyes. But we've competed against them many times, we know what they can do, and we also know there's a chance for us to get to the quarter-finals. They're going to be two really tough
Watch Paul Pierce Make His Celtics Debut Exactly 18 Years Ago Today
Share this: BOSTON — Paul Pierce’s NBA career will come full circle at TD Garden on Sunday. Pierce, who is retiring after this season, will make his final appearance in Boston when his Los Angeles Clippers take on the Celtics. As fate would have it, the veteran forward’s NBA career officially began 18 years ago — to the exact day. On Feb. 5, 1999, a young Pierce made his Celtics and NBA debut against the Toronto Raptors at the Garden. Pierce’s promise was on display even then — he tallied 19 points, nine rebounds, five assists, four blocks and two steals in Boston’s season-opening loss. (The 1998-99 NBA season didn’t start until February due to a lockout). Pierce will close the chapter on his Boston career
Tom Brady Adds To List Of Accomplishments, Speaks Chinese In Instagram Video
Share this: As if winning four (and potentially five) Super Bowls wasn’t enough, Tom Brady had to go learn another language on us. The New England Patriots quarterback added another line to his lengthy résumé Saturday morning in the form of a social media post wishing fans a happy Chinese New Year. As usual, Brady went the extra mile, relaying his message in Chinese, which just happens to be one of the most complicated languages in the world. That’s pretty solid — and a great cameo from his daughter, Vivian, as well. Brady’s horoscope probably doesn’t include specific mentions to Super Bowl LI, but having a quarterback who can speak Chinese and dissect defenses as well as TB12 is a pretty good omen for the
