Liverpool transfer given ‘here we go’ by Romano’; Saudi poised to ‘come calling again’ for £67m man

data-mm-id=”_g83aqj49z”>Another week of NFL football is in the books. As always, it was a crazy week with some unexpected twists and turns. Here's a look at the biggest losers from Week 15 of the 2019 NFL season. Josh GordonGordon was suspended indefinitely on Monday for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances and substances of abuse. It is his fifth suspension during his time in the NFL and may well be his last. Los Angeles ChargersThe Chargers got annihilated at home by the Vikings, 39-10. To make matters worse, they endured that beating in front of a crowd that was 90 percent Vikings fans. On top of it all, the photo below summed up the franchise's entire move to Los Angeles:Amazing pic by @latimes photographer Robert Gauthier capturing Fan Appr…

data-mm-id=”_el7gjege3″>Ryan Tannehill got a big new contract from the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, in a deal that was based almost entirely on what he did during the 2019 season. The problem for the Titans is that the eye-popping numbers Tannehill posted in 2019 are wildly-unsustainable given his history. This could wind up being a terrible deal for the franchise. The Titans paid Tannehill like a franchise quarterback, giving him a four-year, $118 million contract with $62 million fully guaranteed and $91 million in total guarantees. When you consider that Tannehill made just 10 regular season starts in 2019 and barely threw the ball in the postseason, it really is a puzzling deal. When you go deeper inside Tannehill's numbers, things get even more worrisome. Tannehill's stat…

data-mm-id=”_outxhirwc”>So this one is going to take a bit of exposition. And that's fine. I feel up to the job, like a fringe character shoehorned into a movie to provide much-needed but clunky backstory after some bad studio notes. In 2017, Michael Jordan sat down with Marvin R. Shanken, a man who enjoys the finer things in life and publishes multiple magazines about them, with Cigar Aficionado being the crown jewel. The two men had a frank and engaging conversation for an hour while sucking down fancy cigars and Jordan nursed some brown liquor. It ruled. Parts of the interview have been released before, used for this or that and bandied about. But the full sitdown was only posted online less than a week ago. Our brave aggregating community has only begun to cultivate it for jui…

data-mm-id=”_auas2ghmg”>Trevor Bauer and Aubrey Huff apparently don't like each other and got into a running fight on Twitter Tuesday morning. Frankly, I'm shocked the site hasn't melted down and gone offline as a result. On Monday, Bauer ripped both sides in the MLB's ongoing labor dispute in a Twitter thread. He finished it off with the following tweet:I have so much more I want to say about this whole thing but out of respect to my fellow players I’m going to continue holding my tongue. If any of you would like to talk about it please hit me up privately.— Trevor Bauer (@BauerOutage) June 22, 2020Frankly, the Cincinnati Reds righty made some good points in his thread. It was an unusually reasoned rant from a guy who often courts controversy. Huff — who is a…

data-mm-id=”_35dlb6kak”>Allen Robinson is easily the best receiver on the Chicago Bears but that relationship may be coming to an end. The 27-year-old may be done with the team, as he's in the final year of his contract and just deleted all references to the franchise on his social media accounts. Allen Robinson has taken the Chicago Bears out of his bio and has since deleted all of his ‘Bears’ photos on his Instagram. pic.twitter.com/UC9oiLlIAh— Dave (@runbackdave) September 15, 2020Robinson is in the last stages of the three-year, $42 million deal he signed as a free agent back in 2018 and it's pretty shocking the Bears haven't re-signed him yet. Teammate Tarik Cohen immediately rushed to Twitter to endorse his teammate:#ExtendAR— Tarik Cohen (@TarikCohen) Sept…

data-mm-id=”_e7lq8zjrz”>Steve Cohen is (almost?) the new owner of the New York Mets. When that becomes official, Cohen will become the richest owner in Major League Baseball. As this chart illustrates, he will be the richest by a very wide margin. Steve Cohen's bid to buy the Mets has been approved by MLB's Ownership Committee, per @soshnick.Cohen's net worth ($14.6B) makes him wealthier than the next three richest MLB owners combined. In a league with no salary cap, that's significant.https://t.co/HprflYLkyI pic.twitter.com/8XeVChnn6j— Kendall Baker (@TheKendallBaker) October 21, 2020At quick glance, that seems like a big deal. As noted in that tweet, MLB has no salary cap. The Mets can spend as much as they want and Cohen can easily afford it. The sky is seeming…

data-mm-id=”_h7wppmqzl”>Mitchell Trubisky's time with the Chicago Bears is reportedly over. After trading a lot to move up one spot and select Trubisky with the second pick in the 2017 NFL Draft, the Bears are moving on after one good season, two decent seasons, one bad season and two playoff losses. The Bears reportedly have their sights set on Russell Wilson, but what is next for Trubisky? Here are five possible free agency destinations for the one-time Pro Bowler.Bears are planning to allow Mitch Trubisky to leave and address their QB concerns via free agency or trade, per @JFowlerESPN, @DanGrazianoESPN pic.twitter.com/pMs2NuUWbP— B/R Gridiron (@brgridiron) March 14, 2021Washington Football TeamAlex Smith is a free agent.

data-mm-id=”_o9zo3tuhb”>Hurricane Idalia made landfall in Florida on Wednesday morning as a very strong Category 3 storm. While most people are seeking shelter from the historic storm, there are two types of people who are braving the conditions: news teams and idiots. Both were on display on CNN this morning as two guys on an inflatable duck floated through the background of a live spot from Derek Van Dam.Florida Man strikes again pic.twitter.com/uBcKuVy1i4— Brendon Leslie (@BrendonLeslie) August 30, 2023The thing is, when you've got every news network having reporters go towards the dangerous storm like some kind of basic cable Jackass stunt, there are going to be people who do stuff like this. Especially when it's a chance to get on television. (All apologies to the Jac…

data-mm-id=”_754kx342m”>We've updated you on the Michigan sign-stealing scandal a number of times, but today the weirdness got cranked up another level. Connor Stalions, the staffer at the center of the story, apparently had a lot going on away from Michigan football. Now we've learned the former Marine captain was sued by his HOA over dozens of vacuum cleaners. Yeah, we'll explain. According to the Wall Street Journal, in 2022 Stalions purchased a $485,000 home near Michigan's campus in Ann Arbor. Soon after he moved in, dozens of old vacuums packed his porch. The homeowners association noticed and sued him for operating an appliance refurbishing business out of his home, which was against the HOA's bylaws. We even have a photo of what that looked like.Not lon…
