data-mm-id=”_4aqywndks”>Tua Tagovailoa didn't do so hot on the Wonderlic test. As we learned on Friday, he had the lowest score among the quarterbacks in the 2020 NFL Draft. But here's the thing, in the end, the Alabama quarterback's score on the test doesn't matter one bit. On Friday we posted his Wonderlic score. I did, in fact. I know a lot of people are against doing that, and maybe it isn't the right thing to do. After all, Wonderlic scores don't mean a whole lot. One thing I do know is that in Tagovailoa's case, it definitely doesn't matter. Joe Burrow is the only quarterback in this draft class who can read a defense and spot an open receiver like Tagovailoa. Other than Burrow, he's also the most accurate passer in the draft. Those ar…
data-mm-id=”_hz4w5r1le”>Similar to basketball, hockey is currently in the doldrums of the regular season. Fans are just trying to make it to playoff hockey, one of the most exciting times of year in sports overall, much less hockey. To help pass the time, some Islanders fans decided to have some fun. And by that I mean an entire section of fans dressed up in referee garb and cheer for every blown whistle and call by their fellow men in stripes. There is an entire section of zebras at this Islanders game and they are chanting “let’s go refs” and going NUTS for every icing and offside call. pic.twitter.com/lPfY0Bx5j9— Barry Petchesky (@barry) February 1, 2020Islanders vs Canucks at the Barclays: a section of fans have declared themselves the ref fans section and are going nuts ev…
data-mm-id=”_lsnr7mfdc”>It's no surprise considering all that's happened since early March, but the shock of Kenny Atkinson's out-of-nowhere resignation has faded rather considerably. He took over the worst roster in the NBA and turned a bunch of castoffs and mid-round picks into a playoff team with nothing more than quality coaching and GM Sean Marks' eye for underutilized talent. Once Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant agreed to sign in Brooklyn, the hard part was supposed to be over. We still don't really know why Atkinson decided to step down after only five months of coaching Irving and, to an extent, Durant, who spent this year rehabbing from a torn Achilles. Reports from the NY Post suggest the players, and especially Irving, weren't listening to Atkinso…
data-mm-id=”_415f7g861″>Tim Kurkjian wakes up at dawn, grabs a newspaper and a Diet Mountain Dew, and hunts for his white whale. He makes for an all-too-agreeable Ahab, poring over box scores like a baseball doctor scanning for abnormalities. "They tell you so much," he explains, his mind both entirely present and perusing the overcrowded bins of quirky inventory he's banked through the years. "I still love to get up to see who had three hits last night. Every single day I look to see — and this is really pathetic —to see if anybody had a reverse triple-double. That's what I call two grounded into double plays, two strikeouts, and two errors in the same game. I check that every day just to make sure that it hasn't happened because it's only happe…
data-mm-id=”_av8006933″>We're putting sponsorship patches on Major League Baseball uniforms and no one likes it except the brands who get tons of visibility and the teams that get a bunch of money from the partnership. But that's where we are and the toothpaste isn't going back in the tube. If anything, the tube will feature an ad for crypto while the mess just gets worse.So it's not surprising at all the Detroit Tigers, who sadly have not been able to insulate themselves from the stupid novelty hats two-dozen times per year, are taking it on the chin for adding some sponsored content to their iconic uniforms. Meijer was honored to be named today as the first Jersey Patch Partner to the @tigers, where its logo will be featured on the sleeves of Detroit’s home and …
