data-mm-id=”_uu0hywr6o”>The Jim Harbaugh NFL buzz has begun, even if it is a quiet murmur. Yahoo's Pete Thamel kicked off the whispering and eyebrow-raising with a piece exploring the Michigan Man's future. The focus is on the best-laid plans of next year and the potential allure of a greener former pasture. And while that's all interesting, the real intrigue is what happens after next year. Allow me to move some of these beer cans and papers off the table and offer this scenario for inspection. The Wolverines' post a 5-3 record this year and are crushed by Ohio State for yet again. Harbaugh, who still hasn't been offered a contract extension in his penultimate year (a lot rarer situation than one may think), will have, somehow, some way, failed to do any of th…

data-mm-id=”_hnp8srodo”>Colin Cowherd wanted to gloat about the latest addition to his podcast network, The Volume, so he posted a video on Twitter of him smoking a victory cigar while discussing how excited he was to bring Liv Moods onto the team. Solid addition, no doubt, and plenty of reason for celebration. Unfortunately for Cowherd, Dan Le Batard saw that video and decided to have some fun with it, creating a response post which was clearly in jest, but nevertheless hilarious. First the Cowherd announcement. In a good MOOD(s) today ?Just wait. The next couple of weeks on @TheVolumeSports are going to be big. pic.twitter.com/RdLlVXW7TA— Colin Cowherd (@ColinCowherd) August 4, 2021Can't blame Cowherd for wanting to celebrate. Moods is a noted personality in the gambling space…

data-mm-id=”_yta9xcf0z”>Poor Mark Borlace. All he wanted to do was join Australian TV channel 9 News Adelaide and share his perspective and expertise gained from his work for the Royal Automobile Association with anchor Alice Monfries. Only to be thwarted by a technological snafu. Despite his best and multiple efforts, he could not negotiate getting a professional Zoom background to watch over his hit. It was an entirely unproductive exercise but did create a nice blooper for the station to share on social. One that featured Monfries just losing it. The virtual world can be a difficult place to navigate, as this #9News guest found out today while struggling for several minutes to get the right Zoom background. @RAAofSA pic.twitter.com/sgWtp8Zv3o— 9News Adelaide (@9NewsAdel) March 21,…

data-mm-id=”_c8ubuymnj”>We've been over this before, but C.B. Bucknor is among the worst umpires working in Major League Baseball. In fact, we had him No. 2 in our ranking of the worst MLB umps. On Saturday, he verified our ranking and made a mockery of the game. Bucknor was working behind the plate as the Cleveland Guardians faced the Tampa Bay Rays. He made a number of awful calls, including one involving the pitch clock. With two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning, Guardians second baseman Andres Gimenez was at the plate, facing Rays pitcher Zack Littell. With an 0-2 count, Gimenez used his timeout. The problem? Bucknor forgot to reset the pitch clock. As Gimenez stepped back in the clock was already running out and Bucknor ruled that Littell wasn't ready to go and iss…

data-mm-id=”_j7sciw78s”>The Chicago Bears were getting absolutely shellacked by the Kansas City Chiefs in front of Taylor Swift on Sunday afternoon, and things somehow got worse. Down 41-0, the Bears were trying to salvage whatever dignity they had remaining and were in the red zone. Justin Fields scrambled on second down trying to make something happen and got hit so hard he had to leave the game. It was a bit weird at first because it looked like a normal tackle. How did he manage to get hit so hard on a scramble without an obvious late or high hit? Well, replay showed Chiefs linebacker Willie Gay went to punch the ball out while tackling Fields but punched the QB in the face instead.

data-mm-id=”_l7oxbx6d7″>Travis Kelce visited the Monday Night Countdown set before the Kansas City Chiefs-Philadelphia Eagles game to give bro hugs and inform the world that he is him. Once the action began he did not perform to his typical high standard, fumbling away a key late possession and dropping a pass when Patrick Mahomes was desperate to find any pair of hands capable of holding onto a football. "I am him." Travis Kelce crashed our Monday Night Countdown set 😂 @Chiefs pic.twitter.com/Qb2vQ38ipF— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) November 21, 2023Even though Kelce is a future Hall of Famer, it's sports and even the best athletes have the occasional off game. Good luck trying to quell the rhetoric, though, as he happens to also be dating one of the most…

data-mm-id=”_7retgzhnk”>Illinois was able to recover after blowing a late 10-point lead against Nebraska in Champaign yesterday to prevail, 87-84, in overtime. The win allows them to stay within shouting distance of Purdue at the top of the Big Ten standings. The Illini get the Boliermakers in their gym in the season's penultimate game and there's a chance that ultimately decides who gets to hang a banner. A million things influenced the ultimate result and one of them definitely provided a huge break to Illinois. With under three minutes to play, Marcus Domask grabbed an offensive rebound and was quickly surrounded by two Huskers defenders. In the process of trying to extricate himself from the situation, he created a soon-to-go-viral dance move that involved switching the p…
