Vikings Fans Took Over Another Chargers 'Home' Game

data-mm-id=”_wue3jcykm”>NBA players are about to move to Orlando for a few months. They are doing it during an incredibly tense time in American history. There is a global pandemic, a civil rights movement, and recession all at once. In the words of a very wise man – what a time to be alive.So the NBA players are prepared to make either a sacrifice and/or commitment for a number of reasons. They will be giving a distraction to fans going crazy without sports. They'll try to maximize their platform to deliver a message of societal change. And they're going to make money and help ensure the financial future of their league. If they pull this off, everybody involved has something to gain. Of course, the players aren't the only ones with something to gain or lose in the Disn…

data-mm-id=”_a30tdxxhq”>A little overnight Twitter beef brewed between long-time buddies LeBron James and Brian Windhorst over a story Windhorst wrote on ESPN. Going to the tape, it appears LeBron has a point. After James said he thinks he would have been a good teammate to Michael Jordan on Uninterrupted, Windhorst, who has covered James since high school and followed him from the Cavs to the Heat and back to the Cavs, wrote a story about it and posted the following tweet. As people compare and argue about their legacies, LeBron James says he's envisioned Michael Jordan as a teammate not an adversary: https://t.co/WAB4OJCQTM— Brian Windhorst (@WindhorstESPN) May 19, 2020James saw said tweet and wanted to set the record straight. I also would die to compete vs every single one o…

data-mm-id=”_w03ywmapb”>The NBA has finally expressed some concerns about Florida. With players scheduled to return to their home markets today in what will be the first step to get the ball rolling towards resuming the season on July 31st, ESPN is reporting that the league is starting to worry about the spiking cases in Florida. Via:”Florida added 4,049 new cases Saturday, which broke the previous single-day record of 3,822 set Friday. In all, the state has set records for single-day cases in seven of the past 10 days and is approaching 94,000 infections — becoming a national hot spot along with Texas and Arizona, states that are also seeing surging case numbers.”In addition to pandemic concerns, some are unsure if they should play because of worries they could distract from the Blac…

data-mm-id=”_8tivnrbzg”>The Detroit Lions were a trendy pick for national media pundits this year as a team that could surprisingly win 10-plus football teams and perhaps even steal a divisional crown from the three more skilled and accomplished squads in the division. This will inevitably prove to be a massive mistake. As always. For about 45 minutes of gameplay, the fatally doomed and hapless franchise looked halfway competent, building a 23-6 lead over Mitch Trubisky — the Lions of the quarterbacking world — and the Chicago Bears. Like a down-on-his-luck prospector desperately looking through bleary eyes to find glimpses of gold in his pan, people wanted to see something bright. If only for a fleeting moment. But it was, as it always is, sulfur-boiled pyrite. Twenty-one straight p…

data-mm-id=”_cxh4mgh6t”>At this point, calling for Adam Gase to be fired is too easy. All the stats, facts, and figures highlight a man with a proven track record of being totally unqualified to lead an organization into battle on any given Sunday. And yet Gase remains the head man in charge of the J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets for another week…and possibly the 10 weeks after that. It's a confounding decision by management to keep him in the building and left me with only one logical explanation for why they're doing it: to make Gase pay for accepting the job of Jets head coach the same way he's made them pay for offering it in the first place.Now, onto the stats…Gase has gone 7-15 as head coach of the Jets and is 30-40 in his career as a head coach including his three s…

data-mm-id=”_3zbn6ki49″>The NBA saw its second coach get canned mid-season today as the Atlanta Hawks announced they fired Lloyd Pierce. The Hawks came into the season hoping to fight for the playoffs and instead are 11th in a weak Eastern Conference, sitting at 14-20 on the year. It was a tough start to the campaign for Pierce, who has presided over some truly awful teams in Atlanta, going 63-120 in two years and change. On the surface, it seems a change was needed. A team can only be bad for so long. Pierce wasn't going to be the second coming of Brett Brown, who stuck by the Philadelphia 76ers when their teams were barely winning double-digit games on purpose, and was rewarded with three years as head coach of a playoff contender. The first two seasons in Atlanta, Pierce worked…

data-mm-id=”_q39vf8vb6″>Dick Vitale recently opened his home to two complete strangers. They watched the Sweet 16 together. There were gifts, flowers, balloons and a spread you wouldn't believe. Memories were made and a good time was had by all and it was all to benefit the Dick Vitale Fund for Pediatric Cancer at theV Foundation.With apologies to college basketball and his wife, this seems like the thing he cares most about right now. At 83-years old, you can hear the passion in his voice when he's talking about raising money for these kids and their families. The same passion that sports fans have heard on the air at ESPN every winter for four decades. It's obviously a more serious topic, but it gets the same enthusiasm and energy that Vitale has shown for hoops his en…

data-mm-id=”_sh9b18xqg”>The United States beat Greece in Manila on Monday in a FIBA World Cup match, 109-81. Austin Reaves led a balanced attack from Team USA by scoring15 points. The final score wasn't close, but USA didn't really pull away until the third quarter. Still, Greece's coach Dimitris Itoudis was screaming early in the second quarter while it was still a game.

data-mm-id=”_0k5vfd0f2″>The US House of Representatives held another vote to determine the Speaker of the House on Tuesday. Ohio's Jim Jordan thought he might have the votes, but it turned out that he did not. Multiple Republicans voted for former Speaker Kevin McCarthy or a number of other randoms, while Democrats all voted for Hakeem Jeffries. FOX News carried the vote live and left a mic on that sounds like it caught FOX & Friends anchor Brian Kilmeade calling Rep. Don Bacon a "dumbass" when he cast his vote for McCarthy. Bacon was the first Republican to vote for McCarthy. Fox's Brian Kilmeade caught on a hot mic calling Rep. Don Bacon a "dumbass" for voting McCarthy. pic.twitter.com/0dgKhUZiUh— nikki mccann ramírez (@NikkiMcR) October 17, 2023F…

Shortly after sunset, massive rainfall was causing flooding in the city. The footage has finally reached the Internet and it's pretty crazy, and is like to to get worse. Conditions deteriorating on the Baltimore Inner Harbor. Little 1-foot waves.
