A lot of people who bought the pay-per-view were bitterly angry because there were technical issues that prevented them from seeing it. Mayweather went long stretches of the fight without throwing a punch. Paul landed but a handful of clean punches on Mayweather, who was one of the great defensive fighters in his day when he racked up a… Source link

Over the weekend, when Green Bay Packers president Mark Murphy addressed fan questions in his monthly exchange on the team website, there was some public messaging that resonated loudly in the team’s impasse with quarterback Aaron Rodgers.

And on Sunday, the Mavericks fell to the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs for the second straight year. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, though, has no problem with Carlisle whatsoever. Mark Cuban: ‘The grass is rarely greener’ Carlisle, 61, was hired in Dallas before the 2008-09… Source link

The ease with which the Atlanta Hawks hung 74 first-half points on the Eastern Conference’s top-ranked defense in Game 1 of their second-round series on Sunday should proselytize any remaining nonbelievers.

Instead, he reloaded as if he carried 10 times the playoff experience, systematically targeting a Philadelphia 76ers team that features two of the… Source link
