Raheem Sterling is a gem. He has been one of the best wide attackers in the Premier League for about five years now, boasts an athleticism and technical ability and intelligence that makes 99 percent of his peers look like stodgy goons by comparison, regularly heaps on goals and assists at a much quicker rate than players widely considered to be his betters, is (or should be) considered one of the two or three most gifted talents the great and proud soccer nation England has produced in years, currently stands as one of the critical cogs in a Manchester City squad that is threatening to become the iconic EPL team of this generation, and at only 22 years old, still has so much room to grow into an even bigger star than he already is. And yet despite all of these facts, Sterling is crimina…

data-mm-id=”_y8mmt19cf”>As our sportless world marches on, fans around the world are delving deep into the archives to find more sports to talk about. One such nugget emerged on the internet a few days ago when an old Stephen A. Smith report was dredged up about how the Toronto Raptors came quite close to trading Tracy McGrady and a first-round pick to the Philadelphia 76ers in 1999 for Larry Hughes. They backed out after Smith broke the news. Smith himself confirmed it was all true on Saturday afternoon, opening up the wonderful world of all-time NBA what-ifs. Yes this is true https://t.co/40WiC5p09I— Stephen A Smith (@stephenasmith) April 4, 2020Oh, man. Imagine the sauce in Philly with AI and T-Mac handling the ball? What an absurd tandem. McGrady was coming off his sophomore seas…

data-mm-id=”_pboy8oggt”>Former Patriots executive Scott Pioli made some headlines over the weekend when he said he felt a Bill Belichick-Cam Newton partnership wasn't feasible. In an interview with Zach Gelb on CBS Radio, Pioli said the gap between the two's views on how football should be played is too wide to bridge. His full thoughts: “With Cam Newton, the Patriots thing is interesting because I’ve heard a lot of people talk about that. In my mind, having spent as much time with Bill as I did, I don’t see those two coexisting together. The personalities and beliefs of how the game should be played and is played, it seems like oil and water.””I just see them as being very different personalities and having very different approaches to the game. Bill believes in football mor…

data-mm-id=”_q120zksth”>Seniesa Estrada knocked out Miranda Adkins on Friday night, throwing just seven punches in about three seconds. I am unsure what else to even say about this. Just look.A seven-second KO for Seniesa Estrada. pic.twitter.com/hD0DqHVedo— DAZN USA (@DAZN_USA) July 25, 2020That… did no look like a fair fight! The DAZN broadcast barely had time to get the graphic on the screen showing what color the boxers' shorts were and Adkins was out on the canvas. It seems like it may be impossible to verify whether it It officially goes down as a seven-second KO and some outlets are calling it the fastest knockout in women's boxing history. DAZN is only calling it "one of the fastest" KO's ever, which seems like a decent compromise. Estrada is now 19…

data-mm-id=”_y1ru5g76a”>The New Orleans Saints were having themselves a pretty darn good season until Drew Brees got slammed to the turf last Sunday. Brees would finish the half but finished out the game on the bench as Jameis Winston replaced him. This week brought news that Brees cracked several ribs and punctured a lung, meaning he'll be out for at least a few weeks. That means it's crab leg time in the Big Easy. Despite all of Sean Payton's odd declarations that Hill was the team's future at quarterback, Winston will be getting the lion's share of the snaps until Brees is healthy. The last time we saw Winston as a starter, he threw for more than 5,000 yards and 30 touchdowns (good!) to go with 30 interceptions (bad!). The talent was never the question with …

data-mm-id=”_3uzs343mj”>Tom Brady has retired and is now spending his time going to movie premieres and presumably charging lucrative amounts of money to appear onstage for whatever business wants to have him around. Such was the case on Thursday, when he was the keynote speaker for the eMerge Americas Tech Conference. During his appearance he was asked by the moderator if he was going to unretire and play for the Miami Dolphins. Brady dodged the question completely and just said that he has some friends on the team he is rooting for. While speaking in Miami, Tom Brady was asked if he is going to come out of retirement to play for the Dolphins: pic.twitter.com/LxTHjcevrm— Brendan Kaminsky (@BKaminsky) April 20, 2023More Articles About Tom Brady:…
