data-mm-id=”_cl8ljttto”>One of the many, many things the current coronavirus restrictions will interrupt as long as they remain in place is the latter half of the NFL offseason, where teams all gather together for meetings and practices in May and June before congregating for training camp in late July. When it became clear social distancing would stay a reality through the early parts of that process, the NFL told teams they were allowed to hold virtual meetings and practices with their teams, as long as it adhered to the same practice time restrictions they normally would be held to as laid out in the CBA. On Wednesday, Dianna Russini reported the New Orleans Saints would be passing on virtual meetings completely. The team told their players to stay healthy, take care of their family…
data-mm-id=”_d4bothbtv”>Joe Kelly, always the fiery personality, managed to get his suspension reduced by MLB for his role in the bench-clearing incident between the Los Angeles Dodgers and Houston Astros a few weeks back. Before that happened, however, he went on teammate Ross Stripling's podcast to explain precisely why he was still quite upset about the whole incident. In the latest episode of The Big Swing podcast released today, Kelly had a lot to say. He took the league to task over their inconsistent rules and regulations, complaining that MLB is so strict with their players but don't require flight attendants on team planes to get tested. Which seems, um, not great. Then he got into the Astros. Here's his account of what happened on the field against Houston that…
data-mm-id=”_u2xhke213″>The Browns and Ravens engaged in a highly-televisable Monday Night Football contest that ended with the fan-friendly score of Ravens 47, Browns 42. But while some are calling this an "optimistic loss" and others are lauding the Browns' improvement this season, their underbelly remains soft and easily exposed against the better teams in the AFC. That makes them playoff pretenders, not contenders. At least not this year. Sitting at 9-4, the Browns currently occupy the top Wild Card spot and would face the Titans, who they beat two weeks ago, if the playoffs started today. They're coming off back-to-back 40-point performances and they feature the No. 3 rushing attack in the NFL. Baker Mayfield is limiting his turnovers and Myles Garrett is a de…
data-mm-id=”_hq99vi5zu”>The Kansas City Chiefs are at the White House to celebrate their Super Bowl LVII win over the Philadelphia Eagles. It seemed everyone had an enjoyable time, except Travis Kelce, who badly wanted to get on the mic at the presidential podium. Patrick Mahomes prevented that. At one point after taking a picture with Joe Biden holding a No. 46 Chiefs jersey, Kelce walked toward the podium, put both hands on it and started to speak. Mahomes was quick to yank him away, playing defense for a change.

According to CNN parts of Brooklyn got a month's worth of rain, or more than four inches, in just three hours this morning. The results have been catastrophic with streets and subways flooding.

data-mm-id=”_rvkmr3sf0″>On Sunday the Atlanta Falcons hosted the New Orleans Saints for Week 12 action and emerged victorious, 24-15. They also hosted several famous Atlanta rappers to celebrate the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. Their attempt to have T.I. lead the team out of the tunnel while rapping flopped because his mic didn't work but the halftime show starring Ludacris rappelling down from the roof of Mercedes-Benz Stadium was pretty sweet. And nobody loved it more than one Jameis Winston. After the Saints took the field near the end of his performance, Ludacris launched into perhaps his most famous work, "Move B****." A fan sitting close to the field captured video of Winston rapping along with him into the face of Derek Carr. Winston went hard. It's great. pi…
data-mm-id=”_73b3g7nvm”>The Kansas City Chiefs beat the San Francisco 49ers, 25-22, at Super Bowl LVIII. The game went to overtime for the second time in Super Bowl history and the Chiefs were prepared. The 49ers were not. The Niners confirmed as much after the game as multiple players admitted they didn't know the new overtime rules. Here's fullback Kyle Juszczyk's honest reaction to the extra time. "You know what? I didn't even realize that the playoff rules were different in overtime so I assume you just want the ball to score a touchdown and win, but I guess that's not the case. I don't totally know the strategy there. No. No, we haven't talked about it, no."Juszczyk's quote was played on Get Up and most of the room seemed to be sho…

data-mm-id=”_aovlg73dt”>The Philadelphia Eagles lost a heartbreaker Monday night to the Atlanta Falcons 22-21. That heartbreak, though, could have been avoided if Philadelphia converted this one play. On a third and three from the Atlanta 10-yard line with under two minutes to play, Jalen Hurts threw the ball outside the hash marks to running back Saquon Barkley who dropped it. If Barkley caught the ball, the Eagles would have converted the third down and, because Atlanta used up all its timeouts, would be able to kneel the ball and secure the win. Instead, Philly had to settle for a field goal, giving the Falcons a chance to drive down the field and win the game. They did just that. This Saquon Barkley drop left the door open for the Falcons. They then drove right down the field and s…
