Maybe the Cardinals should have thought this one through.

The Arizona Cardinals probably should have thought this one through. On Twitter, the Cardinals unveiled a new team slogan — brick by brick — that’ll be used during the season. They even gave each player on the team a brick with their names on it:

Building it brick by brick.

Each player had a brick with their name on it in their locker when they got here for #CardsCamp.https://t.co/ltUJvZoKPJ

That walkoff, plus Vladimir Guerrero’s inaccurate bronzing, catching baseballs with babies, and Cooperstown Spoonerisms.

This is loving your team too much.

An Illinois man wanted to watch Arizona Wildcats basketball so badly he’s now facing a possible jail term for felony identity theft for financial gain, and unauthorized use of an entity’s identifying information.

51-year-old Kevin M. Cayton, the finance manager of a car dealership, was caught pretending to be the manager of a local restaurant in phone calls with their cable company, all in an attempt to add the Pac-12 Network to their cable package. Читать дальше...

Will you eat anything? Or will you only eat foods with specific astrological signs? Your choice determines where you fit into football’s greatest rivalry.

Bryant’s market is thin, but he could restore much of his value in ... Cleveland?

Brown went from having nothing to being EVERYTHING for the Pats.

I was born into New England Patriots fandom in 1984. While that currently makes me just the worst, there was a time, back when I was still figuring out how to form memories, when that meant nothing but pain. Rooting for the late-80s, early-90s Pats was a constant low-grade fever, a clammy feeling about which you never felt good but always understood there was so much room to get worse.

There was a shining light waiting on the horizon... Читать дальше...

Bayern Munich is never this aggressive in the transfer market, and no one pays $22 million for teenagers this unproven. Davies is truly special.

The underdog conference has an awesome new tradition.

On MAC football media day, commissioner Jon Steinbrecher announced the conference’s adoption of a pirate flag. The flag, Steinbrecher said, will be displayed by teams after they do notable things like upset Power 5 teams or win bowl games.

We just have one question...

Are you ready to #FlyTheFlag!? #MACtion pic.twitter.com/jrOGVFdyd0

LeBron and Bronny James won the week in Las Vegas.

Las Vegas was the center of the basketball world this past week, and it’s biggest star was a 13-year-old. That would be Bronny James, the oldest son of LeBron, whose eighth grade games turned into a spectacle whenever his famous father walked into the gym.

Every high-profile grassroots (or: AAU) team in the country annually flocks to Vegas at the end of July for the final tournaments of the season. Vegas is also the sight of USA Basketball’s minicamp for NBA stars. Читать дальше...

Jerry Jones says it’s problematic that Donald Trump, who he involved, is involved in the anthem conversation.

The items stolen include championship rings, shoes, and a Wii gaming console.

The I Promise School starts Monday.

In Akron, Ohio it’s the first day of school for 240 at-risk students who will be attending the inaugural year of the I Promise School — and it’s all thanks to LeBron James. The NBA superstar created the school as an extension of the LeBron James Family Foundation to give kids opportunities to thrive despite difficult life situations.

Monday’s Say Hey, Baseball looks at the impending trade deadline and a few players who could still be moved.

Beef often begins with friendship, and such is the story of Omar Vizquel and Jose Mesa. The two were close friends on the contending Cleveland teams of the mid-’90s. Vizquel was the star shortstop, Mesa who’d developed from a middling starting pitcher into an elite closer. But in October 1997, with a World Series victory on the line, Mesa choked, blowing a save in Game 7 against the Marlins, and beginning a collapse that ended with an extra-innings Florida walkoff.

If you thought this summer was strange, just wait until next summer.

2018 NBA free agency has been put to bed. All of the most notable players have settled in with teams new or old, with LeBron James — the greatest basketball player of his generation and most others — snagging the biggest headlines by moving west. That was the league’s biggest earthquake by far, followed by Paul George’s decision to re-up with the Thunder and DeMarcus Cousins’ move to the Warriors. Weeks later, the Spurs... Читать дальше...

The Dawgs are lapping their division yet again.

We already knew Georgia finished 2018’s Signing Day with the second highest-rated class ever, breaking Alabama’s seven-year streak, one month after nearly toppling Bama’s title dynasty on the field as well.

Most importantly, UGA dominated its division, hilariously outpacing the SEC East for the second class in a row.

So how’s 2019 recruiting going for Kirby Smart’s Dawgs*?

Well, after a weekend that included a commit from five-star RB John Emery Jr. Читать дальше...

Nike is promoting an extra 20 percent off sale on select items including shoes, hoodies, and more.

Pruitt wasn’t UT’s first choice, but if his cranky, Saban-like demeanor produces Saban-like results, no one’s gonna care.

Here’s where the show’s biggest names will be this fall.

JUCO football doc series Last Chance U is now back with its third season on Netflix. It’s excellent again.

In light of that, it's time to catch up on where the show's alumni are for the 2018 season. These aren't all the players who went through East Mississippi Community College during its two seasons or Independence CC during Season 3, but they are the ones the show's featured most prominently.

(Some spoilers, obviously.)

Everyone has their own story for how they fell in love with the game.

Just about every football fan has a signature moment, team, or player that initially got them to fall in love with the game. Maybe your hometown team, or one you adopted, won your heart during a special season. Maybe all it took was to watch how a star or an unsung hero played each and every Sunday.

For me, it wasn’t just one player. It was 11 of them.

As we approach Ray Lewis’ Hall of Fame induction, it... Читать дальше...

Washington Nationals shortstop Trea Turner is the latest athlete to have old, offensive tweets surface. In Turner’s case, tweets from 2011 and 2012 came to light on Sunday and were since deleted.
