Romano reveals third potential Man Utd signing after Zirkzee and De Ligt is ‘keen’ to sign

data-mm-id=”_bewlpo98e”>With one swing of the helmet, Myles Garrett went from being known as the Browns former No. 1 overall pick to the most abhorred man in the NFL. Not since Vontaze Burfict has the general NFL community consensus been so unified: suspend this man for the rest of the season.While they are right, and Garrett does deserve to face a lengthy suspension, this one dirty play isn't the only one that needs to be taken into consideration. Much like Vontaze Burfict, the former Raiders and Bengals linebacker who was suspended for the rest of this season for his dirty hit on a defenseless receiver and all the other dirty hits he's made, Garrett has a history of questionable plays this year. It ain't pretty. Myles Garrett, 2019 dirty playsWeek 1: Punched Titans TE …

data-mm-id=”_x59vgfall”>Houston Astros owner Jim Crane apologized for the team's cheating and stealing scandalThursday morning. Crane may have thought this was damage control, but media members aren't buying it. Here are the early reactions: What a massive amount of risk to take and tremendous amount of work to do for something that "didn't impact the game." https://t.co/wIq52vd40y— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) February 13, 2020What an amazing opinion. This is like the people who say taking steroids to get bigger, faster and stronger don’t cause more HRs. If it doesn’t help, why are you cheating? https://t.co/4jbqy27jPQ— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) February 13, 2020“What we didn’t expect is for Jim Crane to come out and treat us all like we are too st…

data-mm-id=”_hd0ba370l”>Joe Burrow looks like he could be good. That's a positive sign for the Cincinnati Bengals and their No. 1 draft pick. Burrow threw for 316 yards and the first three touchdown passes of his NFL career on Thursday night in a reasonably close game against the Cleveland Browns. He also threw 60 passes, which is kind of rare. Joe Burrow is the first rookie since 1950 with 60+ pass attempts and zero interceptions in a game— NFL Research (@NFLResearch) September 18, 2020They noted the accomplishment(?) near the end of the Thursday Night Football broadcast and my ears perked up when I heard that Burrow had thrown the most passes by a rookie quarterback since Chris Weinke. Way back in 2001, Weinke, a rookie out of Florida State, completed 36 of 63 passes for 223 y…

data-mm-id=”_lg5nzvj9d”>The Detroit Lions, in the midst of yet another rebuild from the ground up, have decided they will not be using their franchise tag on stud wideout Kenny Golladay. Tom Pelissero had the news first with today being the final day teams can use the tag on pending free agents. The #Lions don’t plan to tag WR Kenny Golladay, per source. No final decision on whether Detroit may use a tag on someone else, but it appears Golladay is headed to the market.— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) March 9, 2021This comes as something of a surprise. The Lions are attempting to rebuild while maintaining some semblance of competitiveness, as their Matthew Stafford for Jared Goff swap indicates; if that wasn't the case, they could have simply sold Stafford to whoever was offerin…

data-mm-id=”_ufitxeag3″>Alabama outclassed Notre Dame from the opening kick and the outcome of today's Rose Bowl wasn't in doubt after about 36 minutes of game play. But there were plenty of reasons to keep watching with the score 31-7 in the Tide's favor, most namely the line, which hovered between 19.5 and 17.5ish pregame. What looked like an easy cover turned into a more stressful affair with Alabama's offense sputtering a bit down the stretch and the Irish continuing to fight hard. Still, it looked as though the 24-point advantage would be final tally with Notre Dame facing 4th-and-8 from its own 45 yard-line with 3:26 to play. Brian Kelly initially sent his punt team out to give the ball away and was captured repeatedly yelling for said punt team to get the hec…

data-mm-id=”_61fsjilfo”>On Wednesday, the UFC hosted a press conference to promote its next UFC on ESPN event, scheduled for July 1. Sean Strickland will face Abusupiyan Magomedov in the main event Saturday night. That's not what made news during the press event, as some of Strickland's quote angered a whole lot of people. At one point the 32-year-old went on a rant about the United States and, among other things, claimed women shouldn't have been given the right to vote. He also said women should be out of the workforce and back in the kitchen, and that America should strive to be more like it was in 1942 … or maybe 1958. Just to be completely clear, Strickland was not, in any way, joking. I'm sorry to subject you to this but, I guess watch it below if you can st…

data-mm-id=”_66s6uc6oz”>Bill Belichick's post-Tom Brady years continue to get bleaker as the New England Patriots welcomed the New Orleans Saints into Gillette Stadium on Sunday afternoon and was such good hosts that they declined to score even a single point. Mac Jones was really bad, going 12-for-22 for 110 yards and two interceptions. For a second straight week the Pats were getting crushed so badly that Belichick decided to let backup quarterback Bailey Zappe get some exercise — and it was the only moment of the afternoon the shellshocked crowd showed signs of life. It's sarcastic cheering but at least there was some cheering. For the second straight week, Mac Jones been pulled for Bailey Zappe in the middle of a blowout.Jones was 12-for-22 for 110 yards with no TD pass…

data-mm-id=”_v4ctgb7pu”>We knew going into the season that the New England Patriots were going to be a subpar football team but nobody expected it to get this bad. Not only are the Pats 2-8 entering their bye after losing to the Indianapolis Colts in Germany, the incompetency on display in every facet of the game is borderline unbelievable to behold. Mac Jones has taken several monster steps backwards and thrown a few of the worst interceptions you'll ever see out of a professional quarterback. Players on both sides of the ball regularly make mental errors that college teams shouldn't make. There is zero sign of the "Patriot Way" and the qualities that made Bill Belichick teams great over these many years. The Colts loss is the magnum opus for all that. A masterwork…

data-mm-id=”_dpoqyesqf”>Thursday night's episode of Jeopardy! was won by Deb Bilodeau, a restaurant server from San Francisco. But her victory did not come easily and, in fact, contained one of the more hilarious all-time gaffes from a Jeopardy! winner. The category was 40 Years Ago: 1984. Ken Jennings showed the contestants a picture of an American Olympic athlete and said this athlete "won gold with a four-and-a-half minute program featuring multiple triple jumps." Bilodeau was extremely quick on the draw and mashed that buzzer button to put forward her guess: Mary Lou Retton. This was, of course, incorrect. After neither of Bilodeau's competitors ventured guesses of their own Jennings revealed that the Olympic athlete pictured was, in fact, a man by the name of S…

data-mm-id=”_sguntrt6r”>Bill Belichick might not be done coaching. He could pursue another NFL head coach position next year after missing out this offseason. And when he does decide to retire, the 72-year-old six-time Super Bowl winner will go straight into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.He won't have to wait long to receive his gold jacket.On Friday, the Hall of Fame announced that it will reduce the waiting period for retired coaches to become eligible for election from five years to just one year.
