Rick Porcello, Family Share Priceless, Emotional Moment After Cy Young Win
Share this: Not everyone — ahem, Kate Upton — was happy about Rick Porcello winning the American League Cy Young Award, but his family and friends certainly were. The Boston Red Sox right-hander was named the 2016 AL Cy Young in a ridiculously close vote over Justin Verlander. Porcello, who led Major League Baseball with 22 wins, got six fewer first-place votes than Verlander, but two voters left the Detroit Tigers ace completely off their ballots, allowing for Porcello to win the overall points by five. In the grand scheme of things, though, the vote total probably won’t matter for Porcello. He will forever be the 2016 AL Cy Young, which made everyone at the Porcello household pretty emotional in a priceless celebration that will
Stephen A. Smith Destroys ‘Flaming Hypocrite’ Colin Kaepernick For Not Voting
Share this: Colin Kaepernick has been at the forefront of a prominent social justice movement since August. He’s been very outspoken about injustices toward minorities in America and started a protest to demonstrate it. But when it came to make his voice heard at the polls, Kaepernick fell silent. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback has taken serious heat for declining to vote in the 2016 presidential election.

Smith. “He comes across as a flaming hypocrite,” an incensed Smith said on ESPN’s “First Take.” “After all this noise that you made, even though you didn’t intended to do so, by offending our military

Share this: Brad Stevens never has been one to generate controversy, and his players usually try to stay out of politics. But seeing as the Boston Celtics were right down the street from the White House on Wednesday, Stevens couldn’t help but weigh in on Tuesday’s momentous events. Ahead of Boston’s game against the Washington Wizards at Verizon Center, the Celtics coach was asked to react to Donald Trump winning the 2016 presidential election and revealed he didn’t vote for the Republican party candidate. “It wasn’t my vote,” Stevens said, via MassLive.com. “Let’s put it that way.” Stevens added he doesn’t like discussing politics but seemed to understand it may be unavoidable after Tuesday night. “The advice that I’ve always been given is don’t talk about politics
Mark Cuban Responds To Donald Trump, Tom Brady News With Deflategate Joke
Share this: Republican presidential candiate Donald Trump claimed at a rally in New Hampshire on Monday that he’s already secured the vote of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. But Brady’s comments Monday on WEEI’s “Kirk & Callahan” that he’s yet to vote, coupled with what his wife said on Instagram, have created a mess. And from that mess has emerged Mark Cuban, the opinionated owner of the Dallas Mavericks. Harmless Deflategate troll? Probably. But given the Patriots’ history with transparency, and Trump being, well, Trump, we’re not sure who to believe. Thumbnail photo via Kevin Jairaj/USA TODAY Sports Images More Stories Source link
