Detroit’s Silverdome Demolition Fails In Saddest Video You’ll See Today
Sometimes the jokes just write themselves. The Pontiac Silverdome, home of the Detroit Lions from 1975 to 2001 and Detroit Pistons from 1978 to 1988, was scheduled to be demolished Sunday at around 8:30 a.m. local time. The stadium hadn’t been used for many years and was incredibly poor condition, so Sunday’s implosion finally would close the door on a Detroit eyesore and allow the city to move forward. Let’s check in on how the demolition went: So, yeah. That didn’t go as planned. The planned blast was supposed to break the metal beams supporting the upper ring of the stadium, causing it to collapse, according to FOX 2 News in Detroit... NESN.com
Joel Embiid Catches* Home Run Derby Ball, Makes It Look Impossibly Tiny
Share this: Aaron Judge stole the show at Monday night’s Home Run Derby. But Joel Embiid also drew plenty of attention to himself — which isn’t that hard for a 7-foot, 23-year-old to do at a baseball stadium. The Philadelphia 76ers big man rolled into Marlins Park with rapper Meek Mill and posted up in the outfield bleachers to try to snag some home run balls. And it wasn’t long before a ball came sailing his way. First, we feel bad for whoever got the seat right behind Embiid. Second, it looks like he clearly didn’t catch this ball. But if you trust “The Process,” Embiid got redemption shortly after, as he posted a photo on Twitter of himself holding an official baseball. We

Aaron Rodgers Throws Shade At Georgia Dome Ahead Of NFC Championship Game
Share this: The Green Bay Packers will be up against a tough opponent in Sunday’s NFC Championship Game. The Packers will have to try and withstand NFL MVP candidate Matt Ryan and the Falcons’ high-flying offense, as well as a raucous Georgia Dome crowd. While there’s no denying the volume level at the Falcons’ home stadium, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers insinuated that the noise may not be coming all from the fans. Rodgers on Falcons stadium: it's really loud in there. Whether that's all natural or not remains to be seen. — Greg Bishop (@GregBishopSI) January 20, 2017 Pretty harsh words from Rodgers, but he certainly has the grounds for it. Prior to the 2015 season, Atlanta was fined $350,000 and stripped of a 2016 fifth-round
Cowboys Fans Rush Into AT&T Stadium After Doors Open In Hilarious Scene
Do you think Dallas Cowboys fans are excited for the NFL playoffs? After a 13-3 regular season and a legitimate chance to win Super Bowl LI, Cowboys fans are jacked up for Sunday’s divisional round game against the Green Bay Packers at AT&T Stadium. Need proof? Check out this scene as the doors at AT&T Stadium were opened Sunday. It looked like a large group of people rushing into a Walmart to grab the best Black Friday deals. But instead of that new HDTV, the rush was to see the Cowboys’ pregame warmups and all of those concession spots. ... NESN.com
