Here's Anthony Davis casually catching an alley-oop—Basketball Twitter is saying he invented the block-steal, but you can't block an alley-oop before the oop happens, c'mon—and then dribbling to the other end for a dunk during a USA Basketball scrimmage. He's still a mutant basketball player of terrifying skill. [ @BeyondTheBuzzer] …
data-mm-id=”_dhv832p0u”>Conor McGregor returned to the octagon last night in dominant fashion, TKO-ing Donald "Cowboy" Cerrone in 40 seconds. Soon after his fans came back to reality, the discussion transitioned to his next fight. Here is a look at the four best options for McGregor:Jorge MasvidalA brawl with Masvidal is the most exciting matchup that can take place inside the octagon right now. The first step is complete after McGregor ignited the sport yet again Saturday night. While their star power isn't comparable, Masvidal became the sport's biggest draw in McGregor's absence. The UFC is at its best when the build-up is WWE-like, and this is the closest we would get to that. Sure, there is a concern that Masvidal is too big, but that isn't stopping…

We'll be looking later at teams who are buyers and sellers, but so far here are some of the rumors that are swirling around during trade deadline week.

data-mm-id=”_sdny8c2ri”>The premier sporting event of the last four weeks was not a live game, or even a replay of one. No, it was the release of ESPN's highly-anticipated Michael Jordan documentary, The Last Dance. Sunday evening's main event delivered on the hype, but the ratings even more so. In a press release Monday, ESPN announced The Last Dance exceeded the network's previous viewership high for original content by a substantial number, and the two episodes that aired averaged 6.1 million viewers between ESPN and ESPN2. This is obviously great news for ESPN, but it also should have executives from ESPN, NFL Network, and ABC salivating over the viewership potential of Thursday's NFL Draft. Last year, the three broadcast networks averaged 6.1 million viewers ov…
data-mm-id=”_ivy8cyvfn”>Yesterday, it was reported that Deion Sanders would be leaving NFL Network after his contract expired. Andrew Marchand of the New York Post said that Sanders wasn't interested in taking a pay cut to stay, so the two sides parted ways. It did not take very long for Sanders to find a new gig. Barstool Sports' Pardon My Take podcast announced Sanders as their new coworker late last night, and Sanders announced the news himself via the below tweet. As pointed out by my colleagues, it is definitely the first and likely the last Barstool Sports announcement to contain a Bible verse. PSALM 37.4 My bible also tells me a Good man steps are ordered by the Lord and I’m extremely thankful that I can hear Gods whispers to me. @barstoolsports is giving me the plat…
data-mm-id=”_hjt7bf40v”>Chase Young was the second pick in the 2020 NFL Draft and the top player on most draft boards for a reason. On Sunday, the Washington Football Team's rookie defensive end showed the NFL he's set to be a beast off the edge for a long time. Young's athleticism is ridiculous considering his 6-foot-5, 264-pound frame and that was on display all afternoon against the San Francisco 49ers. In a 23-15 win, the Ohio State product finished the day with six tackles, a sack, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery he returned for a touchdown. On that return he showed how scary it is when a guy his size is that fast:Chase Young is that DUDE Seriously RT to #ProBowlVote @youngchase907 + @94yne pic.twitter.com/TvQATOnCv0— Washington Football Team (@WashingtonNFL…

data-mm-id=”_0xjxxh4er”>The Kansas City Chiefs are trying to avoid starting off 0-2 on the year today as they take on the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium. The playoff rematch featured a slow start, however. The Jags got the ball first and got one first down before they had to punt, pinning the Chiefs at their own 10-yard line. Kansas City then found themselves facing a third-and-1 at the 19-yard line when Patrick Mahomes tried to make some magic happen and made a goofball error instead. The Chiefs tried for a screen on the play (for some reason) and the Jacksonville defense quickly sniffed it out, blowing it up almost immediately. Mahomes ran around to try and make something happen. Eventually he thought he spotted an open man right at the first down marker and unloaded a pass…
data-mm-id=”_yh0s3jace”>The marquee game of Sunday's uninspiring NFL slate was the 4:25 p.m. ET matchup between the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills. CBS had the game and, naturally, sent its A-team out to Philly. Jim Nantz and Tony Romo presided over a fairly slow first quarter; the primary "highlight" was Bills running back James Cook dropping an incredibly wide-open touchdown pass. That may be the vibe considering both squads haven't exactly looked their best in recent weeks. The Bills beat up on the hapless Jets after firing their offensive coordinator and the Eagles won a gross slugfest in Kansas City in the sort of game that really didn't have a winner as much as it just had a loser. All that is to say, this game between two Super Bowl contenders m…
data-mm-id=”_6gmth5770″>Donald Trump is out campaigning again, which means you know we've got more wild quote from the former president. During a speech to the NRA in Pennsylvania on Friday, Trump claimed to have seen a man shoplifting a refrigerator just the other day. I have so many questions. Here's what Trump said:Trump claims he saw someone shoplifting a refrigerator just the other day pic.twitter.com/qQP2AqVwKF— Acyn (@Acyn) February 10, 2024"Can you believe?" No Donald. No, I can't. A human man could not lift and shoplift a refrigerator. It's not humanly possible. Now if you want to say someone had a mini-fridge, well, maybe. But that's not a refrigerator. Obviously Trump is going for shock factor here without considering the premise is prett…
