data-mm-id=”_y6oehbwa3″>Dear Summer, I think we're done here. You can go away now. It was 88 degrees yesterday. There is just no need for that at this time of the year. I know there haven't been any preseason football games, but I promise you the NFL is just around the corner. And that means it is time for Fall. The best season. Truthfully Summer, you suck as a season. It's too hot. I used to like the extra daylight, but now it just messes up my kids' sleep. Give me 20 hours of darkness and 20-degree temperatures any day. We'll stay inside and put on extra layers. There was a song about it, but it got canceled. Anyway, Fall is the best and I am ready for Autumn decorations and Halloween decorations. On the last weekend of April, this house in my neighborhood th…

data-mm-id=”_himxscimv”>The NBA is reportedly considering adding two expansion teams as a way to generate some cash and make up for lost revenue due to the pandemic. The NHL probably thought they were being clever when they slapped some sponsor names on their temporary directional divisions, but the NBA is going to add entire franchises. The obvious first move would be for the NBA to put a new team in Seattle to go alongside the Kraken, but the other spot is seemingly up in the air. Las Vegas is probably the other choice, but we should at least look at some of the other possibilities. The NBA has been in some seemingly strange places over the years and there are some other "unconventional" locations.Previously, the NBA has placed teams in Chicago, San Diego, Buffalo, New Orle…

data-mm-id=”_oimprhz5l”>The St. Louis Cardinals continued their disappointing season last night by allowing themselves to get crushed by the Houston Astros. With the score at 9-0 in the bottom of the seventh, Bally Sports Midwest's broadcasting crew of Chip Caray and Jim Edmonds were tasked with filling time and the conversation turned to people reaching out to the former Cardinals centerfielder and saying they really love baseball in their area. These people apparently frequently use Edmonds as a sounding board to complain about how they changed racially insensitive team names and find a willing audience. "I always thought it was kind of a cool thing, not a bad thing, to have a team named after the Indians or vice versa, whatever, the Washington Redskins."Yep, Jim Edmon…

data-mm-id=”_0pyonb1pe”>The Pittsburgh Steelers' offense has been comically inept to kick off the season and it largely falls on offensive coordinator Matt Canada. His vision for Kenny Pickett has been equal parts ineffective and uninspiring. He called the same plays so often to start the year Dan Orlovsky called him out on it. The Steelers might be 3-2 and atop the AFC North, but the defense is mostly to thank for those wins and the two losses have been horrific blowouts at the hands of the San Francisco 49ers (not super concerning) and the Houston Texans (extremely concerning). Pittsburgh as a whole is a little worse than expected coming into the year but the Canada problem was predictable. This is his third year in charge of the offense and everything from the process to the re…

data-mm-id=”_vj7l4rewn”>Patrick Mahomes did not like the offside call against Kadarius Toney that wiped out the Kansas City Chiefs' go-ahead touchdown against the Buffalo Bills. We know this because Mahomes freaked out on the sideline and screamed at referees immediately after it happened. And we know because he talked about it – at length – during his postgame press conference. And Josh Allen knows it because Mahomes told him it was "f–king terrible" during their postgame handshake. Patrick Mahomes was still upset about the offside call meeting with Josh Allen after the game. #Billsmafia pic.twitter.com/6TYGJ1xnS9— Thad Brown (@thadbrown7) December 11, 2023"Wildest f-cking call I've ever seen. Offensive offsides [unintelligible]. F-cking terrible." The…

data-mm-id=”_05h6m2n88″>Texas Tech hosted Texas in a Big 12 college basketball game Tuesday night and things got out of hand. While the Red Raiders trailed by 25, Texas' Brock Cunningham was rightly assessed a flagrant 2 foul for a dangerous play and, in response, Texas Tech fans began to throw things on the court. The home team was assessed an administrative technical as a result. Here's video of what happened and Tech coach Grant McCasland getting on the mic to tell them to stop:Wild scene in Lubbock.

Manchester United are targeting three very expensive players to try and turn around their ailing decade, according to reports coming out of Spain.

The very route-one titled outlet Fichajes (or ‘signings’) write that have three names at the top of their transfer wishlist, which would not only improve their squad but ‘represent a coup of authority’, which sounds a bit sinister if you ask us.

Manchester United transfer rumour mill in overdrive after Sir Jim Ratcliffe investment

The three players in question? Well, we’re glad you asked, but we were going to tell you anyway so just shut your big bazoo for a bit, yeah?

Newly-crowned Serie A title winner is the first on the list. The 25-year-old Italy international has been a key part of an impressive def…

Michael Owen reckons Man Utd should give Steve McClaren the manager s job at Old Trafford after Erik ten Hag s side were embarrassed at Crystal Palace.

The Red Devils were humiliated on Monday night by the Eagles with Michael Olise starring for Oliver Glasner s side as the Frenchman .

Jean-Philippe Mateta and Tyrick Mitchell also scored as the result sees Man Utd stay in eighth position with Ten Hag s side facing the club s lowest ever Premier League finish unless results improve.

Owen has insisted that there is no way McClaren s fingerprints are anywhere near the current Man Utd team and reckons the 63-year-old should take over from Ten Hag with immediate effect.

When put to him that Ten Hag s assistant, McClaren, could take over, Owen replied on Premie…
