It looks like Richard Petty Motorsports and its soon-to-be former sponsor Smithfield Foods aren’t wasting any time airing out their dirty laundry. Smithfield CEO Kenneth Sullivan issued a response to Richard Petty’s statement Tuesday, and he didn’t pull any punches, calling out RPM for “years of subpar performance on the track.” Earlier Tuesday, Petty said that he and his eponymous team were “extremely disappointed” — words that Sullivan echoed in his statement — with Smithfield’s decision to sign with Stewart-Haas Racing for 2018. The seven-time Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series champion also claimed that Smithfield had made a handsh... NESN.com

Why O.J. Simpson’s Parole-Success Chances Are High, According To Legal Experts
Share this: O.J. Simpson will likely exit prison in two-plus months. That’s the conclusion Sports Illustrated’s legal experts Michael McCann and Jon Wertheim drew in February when they assessed the Pro Football Hall of Fame running back’s chances of early release from prison. A Nevada jury convicted Simpson in 2008 on charges which include kidnapping and armed robbery and sentenced him to 33 years in prison with the chance of parole after nine years. He’ll appear before the Nevada Board of Parole on Thursday, with the opportunity to gain parole and be released from prison on Oct. 1 at stake. McCann and Wetheim first cited the fact Nevada grants parole in around half the cases it hears involving male inmates when arriving at their
Stephen Curry Hilariously Roasts Charles Barkley For Bashing Warriors
Share this: Stephen Curry hasn’t forgotten Charles Barkley’s throwing of shade at the Golden State Warriors. Curry, Barkley and a slew of other athletes will be taking part in this weekend’s American Century Championship golf tournament.

Tom Brady Could Have Been One Of MLB’s Greatest Catchers, Ex-GM Claims
Share this: Tom Brady has made a remarkable living delivering strikes to receivers. But what if his intended targets were shortstops and second basemen instead of NFL pass-catchers? The New England Patriots quarterback, as some already know, was a stud baseball player at Junipero Serra High School in addition to excelling at football. In fact, Brady was so prolific on the diamond as a left-handed hitting catcher that he actually was drafted by a Major League Baseball team. Exactly 22 years ago Friday, the Montreal Expos selected Brady in the 18th round of the 1995 MLB Draft. So, what did the Expos see in Brady? A heck of a lot, according to Montreal’s general manager at the time, Kevin Malone. “I think he could
Tiger Woods Hasn’t Felt This Good In Years Despite Another Back Surgery
Remember Tiger Woods? Well, you better, because he apparently feels better than he has in years. Woods posted a hopeful health update to his website Wednesday, saying he hasn’t felt this good in years despite having his fourth back surgery since 2014.

I had good days and bad days, but the pain was usually there, and I couldn’t do much. Even lying down hurt. I had nerve pain with anything I did and was at the end of my
