This is actually amazing. In a time of team sport politics and polarization, it takes an actual observer of sports to see through the nonsense. And Stephen A. Smith didn't disappoint in his analysis of Mark Kelly and the Seditious Six. [Language] 🚨NEW: Stephen A. Smith *GOES NUCLEAR* on Mark Kelly for telling military to disobey TRUMP🚨"How dare you do that!? I'm not a military person and I know better than that!

With Nick Bosa’s on-field career on pause as he recovers from an ACL tear, the defensive lineman has found a new calling as of late: coffee influencer. Since Nov. 8, the 49ers star has posted videos on TikTok of his journey in learning how to make the best possible (read: most expensive) homemade espresso drinks. Each post follows a similar aesthetic-heavy style, showing each step of the process, from spraying the beans to reducing static electricity to tasting the espresso and, of course, attempting to create the perfect heart shape with the milk. The account is named @bosabearbrew and has...

TAD CARPER HOLLERED at a reporter who was unaware of the rules of order inside a Dallas Cowboys postgame news conference: "Excuse me! Hold on, hold up! I'll call on you," he implored. "Yeah, we go around," quarterback Dak Prescott said, a grin growing across his face as he awaited the next question from the media following a Week 6 road loss to the Carolina Panthers. Minutes later, when Prescott stepped away from his postgame media session, he joked with reporters about the tight ship run by Carper, the Cowboys' senior vice president of communications. For most who witnessed, it...

There haven’t been many players in professional golf who became known by simply one name. Fuzzy Zoeller was one of those players. The 10-time PGA TOUR winner with the recognizable nickname and victories at the Masters Tournament and the U.S. Open on his impressive resume, died Nov. 27. He was 74. “The PGA TOUR is saddened by the passing of Fuzzy Zoeller. Fuzzy was a true original whose talent and charisma left an indelible mark on the game of golf,” said PGA TOUR Commissioner Jay Monahan. “Fuzzy combined competitive excellence with a sense of humor that endeared him to fans...

Fuzzy Zoeller, a two-time major champion and one of golf's most gregarious characters whose career was tainted by a racially insensitive joke about Tiger Woods, has died, according to a longtime colleague. He was 74. A cause of death was not immediately available. Brian Naugle, the tournament director of the Insperity Invitational in Houston, said Zoeller's daughter called him Thursday with the news. Zoeller was the last player to win the Masters on his first attempt, a three-man playoff in 1979. He famously waved a white towel at Winged Foot in 1984 when he thought Greg Norman had beat him,...

Patrick Mahomes has sparked fierce controversy on Thanksgiving after pouring ketchup all over his turkey dinner in a new commercial for Adidas. The Kansas City Chiefs quarterback, whose love for the tomato condiment is well documented, is seen sitting at a candle-lit table filled with popular Thanksgiving food in the ad for the sportswear giants. 'Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks, return home, see family, and meet new friends,' he says before committing what many fans insist is a cardinal sin by reaching for the ketchup. As he squeezes it all over a turkey leg, Mahomes then adds: 'Thanksgiving,...

One of the pornographic images that got the World’s Strongest Woman winner stripped of the 2025 title after showing in explicit detail that the American lifter was born male was revealed on Wednesday. Jammie Booker, 28 — who was disqualified Tuesday for not competing under the sex she was born with — was exposed when vulgar images from her past life as a hardcore porn star were circulated by online sleuths. One of the few suitable-for-work shots shows what critics described as the “biological male” clutching her chest and sticking out her tongue while sporting bright red lipstick. Booker’s porn...

“There is a time when you have to take a stand for women’s sports.”The 2025 World’s Strongest Woman competition in Arlington, Texas, erupted into controversy after American competitor Jammie Booker — who won the Official Strongman Games World Championship over the weekend — was stripped of the title on Tuesday after organizers said Booker failed to disclose that he is a man.Booker was disqualified for violating the rules that mandate contestants compete in the division matching the sex they were born as.“It appears that an athlete who is biologically male and who now identifies as female competed in the Women’s...

The left-wing smear machine fired up again last week, this time to go after Riley Gaines for her outspoken defense of women’s sports and criticism of transgenderism. But all the critics succeeded in proving is that the woke mob no longer has the cultural influence it once did, and that sensationalist headlines can’t hide an utter lack of substance in bad-faith personal attacks. As a quick refresher, Riley Gaines was the University of Kentucky swimmer who became a national story after she tied with the University of Pennsylvania’s Lia Thomas in the 200-yard freestyle at the 2022 NCAA swimming championships....

Strongwoman Championship Thrown Into Disarray After Controversial Result The 2025 World's Strongest Woman competition in Arlington, Texas, concluded in dramatic fashion as the victory of American athlete Jammie Booker ignited fierce debate about transgender participation in women's strength sports.

Podium Protest and Claims of Unfair Competition British athlete Andrea Thompson, who placed second, made her feelings clear by walking off the podium during the awards ceremony in a powerful act of protest. The situation escalated when three-time...

As much as we hate to promote the infamously gay Dallas Cowboys football franchise, we had to share this incredible play with you. Meet Alijah Clark, a 22-year-old rookie from Syracuse. Dallas Cowboys Just last year, he was playing college ball; now he's a safety for the Cowboys. With just a few minutes to go in the 4th quarter and the score tied, the Cowboys were forced to punt the ball. After the kick went off, Alijah Clark got absolutely blasted by Eagles safety Sydney Brown: But this dude was just getting started. Watch as Clark gets up not once,...

LOL. [Warning: One S-bomb, one bleeped F-bomb] The new Glock V 🤌😂 pic.twitter.com/ToXyDTp1cw— PewView (@PewView_) November 21, 2025If you haven't heard, Glock discontinued all of its current double-stack pistol models because the state of California, the city of Chicago, and other leftist governments sued the gun manufacturer, putting the blame for illegal modifications on the company, not the criminals who are actually committing the crimes. Here's the AG of New Jersey with one such lawsuit: BREAKING: I just sued Glock to put the homemade machine gun industry out of business. The days of an Austrian company putting profits ahead of...

It took a few weeks, but Terry Smith turned "me" into "we" wrt the players AND coordinators. Gee. Look what happens.

BYU made the Big 12's conference championship scenarios pretty straightforward on Saturday night. A loss by the No. 11 Cougars at Cincinnati could have led to a four-way tie for second in the conference behind Texas Tech. Instead, just three teams remain alive for the conference title heading into the last weekend of the season as BYU won 26-14.
