data-mm-id=”_jviywvlot”>The Dolphins stunned the NFL community when they announced Tua Tagovailoa was taking over the starting job from Ryan Fitzpatrick this week after Fitzpatrick had played well and led Miami to two straight wins going into its bye. Now we know why. It's because the Dolphins are hedging their bet on Tagovailoa. According to Adam Schefter, one of the factors in starting Tagovailoa is the Dolphins want to evaluate whether he's good enough to lead the franchise moving forward or whether they should use one of their many draft picks on a quarterback in 2021. Here's more from Schefter. “The Dolphins need to know what they have in Tagovailoa as they enter the 2021 draft with two picks in each of the first two rounds, courtesy of their trade last year that se…

data-mm-id=”_g9yeci1ho”>When a company loses billions of dollars and continues to operate, it makes you wonder if money is even real to these people, ahem, corporations. I mean, if Verizon can just eat a few billion in losses and walk away smiling, what the hell does that mean for the rest of us? In a deal unsurprising for those who have been following Verizon's not-so-subtle desire to get out of the media game it entered full force just a few years ago, the internet company has reportedly sold the vast majority of its stake in Yahoo and AOL to Apollo Global Management, whatever the hell that company is, according to CNBC. The price paid by AGM (let's just call them that for fun) was reportedly $5 billion. Verizon bought AOL for $4.4 billion in 2015 and Yahoo for $4.5 billion…

Back in September Morant, his baby daughter, parents and a group of adult males showed up at a high school gymnasium to confront a student who had a confrontation with Morant's sister. Police were called. Via TMZ Sports: According to the documents, most of the group — excluding Ja's father — went to confront the student in the stands at the game who had been quarreling with Ja's sister."Which one of ya'll called her a bitch?" Jamie Morant, Ja's mother, allegedly said.Cops say in the docs they told Jamie she "can not come upstairs and confront the students and they did not need to make a scene at the school." B…

data-mm-id=”_ahmi9ynmt”>The Texas Rangers have been in the middle of an epic collapse for weeks, though they had seemed to right the ship over the last few games. Unfortunately, a season riddled with bad luck took another blow on Wednesday. The Rangers announced that big trade deadline acquisition Max Scherzer would miss the rest of the season after straining his teres major muscle. It's unlikely Scherzer will return even if the Rangers make a deep playoff run. Right-hander Max Scherzer is expected to miss the remainder of the regular season with a strained teres major — a muscle that connects the scapula to the humerus. Scherzer is, Texas GM Chris Young told reporters, "unlikely" to pitch in the playoffs.Brutal news for the Rangers.— Jeff Passan (@JeffPassan) Septemb…

data-mm-id=”_rcp5xcnfe”>Toronto Blue Jays lefty Yusei Kikuchi left is start on Tuesday night with cramps, which isn't a great development for a team involved in a tight American League Wild Card chase. But fear not, dear fans, Kikuchi believes the cramps were a result of not getting enough sleep. You see, he only got 11 hours of sleep Monday night. Apparently that's not enough for the 32-year-old. Kikuchi claimed that he usually gets between 13 and 14 hours of sleep every night. He typically goes to bed around 11 p.m. and wakes up at 1 p.m. Yusei said he goes to bed around 11 p.m. usually and wakes up at 1 p.m. Anyway, all this means I’ll have to have a full 3000-word feature on Kikuchi’s sleep schedule at some point— Kaitlyn McGrath (@kaitlyncmcgrath) September 20, 202…

data-mm-id=”_bxclptgq4″>Georgetown visited Rutgers last night and took it on the chin. The Hoyas are now 1-2 on the season. First-year coach Ed Cooley will have to find a way to turn things around if they want any chance of making the NCAA Tournament. March Madness appearances have been few and far in between — only two over the past nine years. In short, he's tasked with finding some answers to tough questions. And he's not afraid of fielding them, as he took time during his postgame availability to encourage young writers to ask the uncomfortable. #Georgetown HC Ed Cooley with some advice to the young writers in the room tonight.“This shit is real.” pic.twitter.com/Tk5HEKtYXJ— Rutgers Scarlet Knights | TheKnightReport.Net (@RutgersRivals) November 16, 2023"The …

data-mm-id=”_vyg34qtj8″>Nikki Haley is making her last pitch to voters in New Hampshire as the state's GOP presidential primary takes place on Tuesday. During a rally, a male attendee asked Haley if she'd marry him. In reply she asked if he was going to vote for her. His answer was not encouraging for her campaign. Haley said, "Are you gonna vote for me?" and the man said he was actually going to vote for Donald Trump. Ouch. Here's video:Q: "Nikki!"HALEY: "Yes?"Q: "Will you marry me?"HALEY: "Are you gonna vote for me?"NH VOTER: "I'm voting for Trump!" pic.twitter.com/wsKrnujfRs— Breaking911 (@Breaking911) January 23, 2024That's quite a gut-punch response. Even a guy who seems to be in love with Haley…

data-mm-id=”_hxikruv4o”>The Los Angeles Rams made a loud statement last night by handling the New Orleans Saints in a game that may ultimately decide an NFC Wild Card spot. After starting 3-6, Matthew Stafford & Co. have snapped into a different gear and won five of their last six games — and the only defeat came in overtime at Baltimore. As a Detroit Lions fan, I am petrified of any potential playoff matchup but as one of those weird Detroit Rams sickos, sort of excited about the possibility of a certain underrated quarterback capturing his second Super Bowl ring and securing a place in Canton. Because the Rams may very well be the second-best team in the NFC. No one saw that coming a few weeks ago but not seeing their danger now would be willing indifference. Part of that …

data-mm-id=”_kq880cv13″>The uproar over Caitlin Clark’s omission from the United States women’s basketball team resonated for weeks, but the debate died down once Team USA got rolling at the Paris Olympics.Stocked with WNBA legends, All-Stars and former league MVPs, the Americans are well on their way to winning an eighth-straight Olympic championship. They completed group play in dominant fashion Sunday, beating Germany 87-68 for their 58th consecutive victory. They remain overwhelming favorites to top the podium.The U.S. women’s 3×3 basketball team also features WNBA players. It was looking to defend its Tokyo Games title, too. However, the Americans lost to Spain in the semifinals and beat Canada to win bronze on Monday.Could the USA 3×3 squad have used Clark? Maybe. Probably.…
