data-mm-id=”_uztqtw9dl”>LeBron James finally has a clear path to becoming the unquestionable greatest player of all-time, if you're into that kind of thing. Because of extenuating circumstances caused by the pandemic, LeBron has a chance to threepeat under the most difficult circumstances in NBA and maybe sports history. LeBron already won the first leg of this possible triple crown when the Los Angeles Lakers won the most unique NBA Championship in history earlier this month. It was LeBron's fourth title and it was won under extreme circumstances of the Disney bubble.Now the Lakers are looking at the shortest offseason ever. Of course, so is every other team. The NBA wants the season to start around Christmas and be around 72 games long. Danny Green has already said that LeB…
data-mm-id=”_nwedu37f5″>The Jets appear smitten with Zach Wilson and the 49ers might have fallen for Mac Jones (maybe) but Jeff Legwold isn't completely bought into the hype. The ESPN NFL writer placed them low in his NFL Draft prospect rankings and behind fellow top quarterback prospects Trey Lance and Justin Fields. Legwold ranked Wilson as the No. 24 overall prospect in his Top 100 rankings and had Jones all the way down at No. 33. Trevor Lawrence is Legwold's top overall prospect while Lance and Fields are No. 9 and 11 respectively. These rankings certainly go against how most draft insiders are projecting the picks to unfold. Wilson is being universally projected to be drafted by the Jets with the No. 2 overall pick. Jones is currently the betting favorite to be picked b…
data-mm-id=”_fqd0cyjsa”>Aaron Rodgers is now happily a member of the New York Jets and showed up to the team facilities today for his introductory press conference. Head coach Robert Saleh was also in attendance, naturally, and for the most part sat there with a huge grin on his face probably feeling a lot like the LeBron James "smiling through it all" meme. Eventually Saleh got asked how Rodgers was fitting in and he informed reporters that the QB is already so comfortable he's walking around barefoot during meetings. Robert Saleh’s proof Aaron Rodgers is fitting right in. “Went in one of the meetings earlier and he was walking around barefoot. He’s awesome.” #Jets pic.twitter.com/a02lObLrJE— Pat Leonard (@PLeonardNYDN) April 26, 2023Unbelievably this is not t…
data-mm-id=”_crw39hc7s”>We haven't heard from Kyrie Irving much over the past few months, basically since the end of the 2022-23 NBA season. That changed on Tuesday, as he took to Instagram to get back on his conspiracy theory train with a number of Instagram stories. Here's a sampling of what Irving posted to his account:Kyrie Irving just posted a bunch of Instagram stories – including: pic.twitter.com/FlSvtE1Vsm— Tommy Beer (@TommyBeer) September 12, 2023He's back, folks! This is the Kyrie Irving we all expect to hear from constantly. I'm not sure what the Novak Djokovic post is supposed to mean. Does he think people expected Djokovic to suddenly suck at tennis because he was unvaccinated? Also, when was the last time anyone actually thought about their vaccinat…
data-mm-id=”_b7efgt8tc”>You know those one or two words that you just cannot ever pronounce correctly, no matter how many times you try? Chris "Mad Dog" Russo has that problem but with Chris Olave, the New Orleans Saints wideout in his sophomore season. Russo hasn't been able to get a handle on how, exactly, Olave's name is pronounced dating back to the 2022 NFL Draft when the Ohio State product was selected. Russo seems to be stuck on Olave being pronounced "Olive" as evidenced by this clip from Monday. Mad Dog Russo tried to pronounce Chris Olave's name last week. How do you think it turned out?#Saints pic.twitter.com/BYsxwf2dOU— Funhouse (@BackAftaThis) September 19, 2023Someone apparently got in his ear and told him that was wrong because o…
data-mm-id=”_yqyan0mtv”>If you missed First Take this morning then you missed the breaking news that people are now allowed to say that Dak Prescott is the best quarterback in the NFL right now while on camera. This is a stunning turn of events because it was not long ago that Prescott was being called straight-up "ass" and forcing a grown man to repeatedly throw a jersey in the trash for the sake of content. You also missed a conversation about the Buffalo Bills' struggles and how much Josh Allen is to blame for them, which took an odd turn at the end as Stephen A. Smith cleared out and ran some iso to discuss the fellas out there who apparently texting him about his deskmate Kimberley Martin."You can't have her," Smith said. "You're bums. Okay?…
data-mm-id=”_al9bicdx2″>The Caitlin Clark Tour stopped in Columbus on Sunday and the hometown fans were treated to a hell of a show. Clark scored 45 points, but No. 18 Ohio State beat No. 2 Iowa, 100-92, in overtime. It was just the Hawkeyes' second loss of the entire season and tOSU fans celebrated by storming the court. One of those fans actually collided with Caitlin Clark and the entire sports world held their collective breath until we found out she was alright and not mad. However, the story does not stop there. No, because Clark is such a big name there must be backlash. Was it he fault of court storming that Clark was nearly hurt? No. It was actually Clark! Why just look at this alternate angle which shows she may have embellished the contact a bit.I am a fan of Caitlin Cl…
data-mm-id=”_lyzupo2nc”>The Kansas City Chiefs are headed to the Super Bowl for the fourth time in the last five seasons and for the first time, Taylor Swift will be there. Or at least she could be there. That's still up in the air since she has a concert in Tokyo that Saturday night. The point is, she could attend the game if she wanted, which is something we already figured out last week. And it's also something that was covered in a season 2 episode of The West Wing, which originally aired two and a half weeks after Super Bowl XXXV. Here's Bradley Whitford, Richard Schiff, Rob Lowe and Allison Janney working out the logistics of someone flying from Tokyo to Washington, D.C. It's very applicable to Taylor's situation in two weeks.So Swift can be back in Ameri…
