Keeping in mind the Bulls’ storied past, Antetokounmpo said he would. “I think anybody who is asked that question that plays basketball, if he said no, he would be a liar. It’s a team that won multiple championships. It’s the team that one of the… Source link

Don’t expect Mickey Rourke to ever play Tom Cruise‘s wingman. The Wrestler actor, 69, was asked about Cruise’s recent billion dollar box office success with Top Gun: Maverick and gave his honest opinion about his “irrelevant” peer. “That doesn’t mean s*** to me,” Rourke said on Piers Morgan Uncensored. “The guy’s been doing the same effing part for 35 years, ya know? I’ve got no respect for that.” Rourke went on to say, “I don’t care about money and power. I care about when I watch Al Pacino… Source link

Let’s give Lamar Jackson his flowers. … Lamar Jackson is a great… Source link

Much of that, of course, is simple numbers: There are only five players per team at a time on a basketball court and they play offense and defense. This year’s Los Angeles Rams are trying to show it can be done in the NFL, adding Matthew Stafford, Von Miller and Odell Beckham Jr. to a roster that already included Aaron Donald, Jalen Ramsey and MVP candidate Cooper Kupp. The Source link

Urban Meyer has struggled adapting to NFL life, and the Jacksonville Jaguars head coach especially has been at odds with his new city’s motto: “It’s easier here.” Nothing, it turns out, has been easy this season for the Jags or for Meyer. But has Meyer done enough to help his own cause? On Sunday morning came an explosive report from NFL media that indicated Meyer has called out his assistant coaches in an embarrassing fashion in front of the team and also had a heated exchange with wide… Source link
