data-mm-id=”_dj7pzlhl9″>Kevin Cash is catching tons of heat today. The Tampa Bay Rays manager made the shocking decision to remove Blake Snell from Game 6 of the World Series when the lefty was mowing the Los Angeles Dodgers down. The Dodgers wound up coming back to win the game and the series. On Wednesday's episode of Pardon the Interruption, Michael Wilbon joined the parade of experts ripping Cash to shreds. Wilbon couldn't believe the move or the midset that led to it as he said, "last night was a sad night for baseball." The full segment is below:“I’m offended by what I saw… So numbers are so important to you, Kevin Cash, that you can’t use your eyes?”@realmikewilbon says Cash pulling Blake Snell made Game 6 “a sad night for baseball” pic.twitter.…

data-mm-id=”_dmo5v04z6″>The 2021 NFL season ended with the Los Angeles Rams taking home the Lombardi Trophy, defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in Super Bowl LVI. It was a great year of football, and an even better one in the football broadcasting world. The quality of broadcasting has never been higher around the NFL and every network boasts a marquee pairing with a deep bench of talented secondary teams. Before we look forward to the big changes on the horizon in the sports media realm (Al Michaels to Amazon?), let's look back upon the 2021 season and rank the seven best broadcasting booths from the NFL season. 7. Gus Johnson and Aqib Talib (FOX)Johnson and Talib debuted in 2021 as an announcer pairing and they were an absolute blast. Johnson’s mere presence invites chaos onto t…

data-mm-id=”_pjetifk1u”>The Internet was abuzz on Tuesday with rumors the Carolina Panthers had decided to select Kentucky quarterback Will Levis with the first pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Levis' odds to go No. 1 overall jumped from +4500 to +400 in a matter of hours. All of those rumors are patently ridiculous and were started by … (wait for it) … a thread on Reddit. A thread on r/sportsbook claimed Levis was telling friends and family the Panthers had informed him they were taking him with the top pick. Yeah. That's what did it. While Levis is highly likely to be a first-round pick — and possibly be selected in the top 10 — the Panthers making him their choice would be absolutely absurd. Carolina had the ninth pick in the first round, but sent that, plus a second-roun…

data-mm-id=”_blxmjqzlt”>Fantasy football season is here! And with the opening week came an onslaught of wildly impressive or disappointing performances. It can be hard to sift through what's real or what's not, to project what's to come. I definitely cannot do any of that at a high level, but I can try! Anything for you, reader. As I did last year, I will be going through each week breaking down the most difficult start 'em, sit 'em options in fantasy football (as well as the top waiver wire pickups). So let's get right to it. (All stats via ESPN PPR leagues) Brandon Aiyuk, WR, San Francisco 49ersArguably the biggest fantasy football surprise of Week 1, Aiyuk was a starter in only 24.7 percent of ESPN leagues. Yet he put up more points than any receiver ot…

data-mm-id=”_64zp13jvl”>Through two weeks of the 2023 NFL season, a number of narratives have crystalized. Perhaps the most surprising is that Tua Tagovailoa is a legitimate MVP candidate. On Tuesday, he took over as the odds-on favorite for the award.Now, before you get all antsy, it's super early in the season. And we don't know how good the Dolphins are or what their two opponents — the Los Angeles Chargers and the New England Patriots — will look like this season. But there's no doubt that Tagovailoa has been excellent and Miami's offense might be the NFL's most explosive. Through two games, the Dolphins have scored 60 points and lead the NFL in yards per game (462.5), and passing yards per game (355.0). Meanwhile, is putting up excellent numbers. He has …

data-mm-id=”_bws1ghkbb”>The Houston Cougars are currently 4-6 and will need to win their final two games in order to play on one of those bowls you watch instead of spending time with your in-laws over the holiday break. Those contests will come against Oklahoma State and UCF, who matched up this past Saturday in Orlando in what turned out to be a lopsided affair with the Knights crushing the Cowboys while wearing Space City uniforms. Houston coach Dana Holgorsen caught a bit of that thumping and shared some of his thoughts during his weekly radio show yesterday (55-minute mark). And may have sparked an all-out arms race between two cities desperate to stake claim to being the spaciest. "(Oklahoma State) goes in and Central Florida has got those unis," Holgorsen said. "I…

data-mm-id=”_vcgq6fnz8″>The Kansas City Chiefs went in to Buffalo and beat the Bills 27-24 in the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs on Sunday. It was a phenomenal game in an electric atmosphere but it's safe to say Bills Mafia wasn't happy with how it ended. As Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes celebrated on the field afterwards, he had to dodge snowballs being thrown in his direction. Here's video:pic.twitter.com/TdKuVEqcmY— sportsvids99 (@sportsvids991) January 22, 2024Well that's incredibly dangerous. It wasn't the first time a snowball nearly nailed a Chiefs player as Marquez Valdes-Scantling almost got hit by one as he tried to make a catch in the end zone. Bills fans sadly saw their team's season come to an end but throwing stuff on the field i…
