data-mm-id=”_kql8vu7ft”>Patrick Mahomes will not stick to sports. Last week he was one of the main players involved in the Black Lives Matter video. That's why Roger Goodell went on video and apologized last week. That's why the NFL will stand behind players kneeling this season. Because Patrick Mahomes is just starting what should be a legendary career. Patrick Mahomes is an MVP, reigning Super Bowl champion, human highlight reel and the biggest star in the NFL for the next decade if fans are lucky. He is the face of the NFL and he appears ready to speak for those who don't have his platform and make the world a better place for everyone. Lofty goal. Would you bet against him?This is what Patrick Mahomes said about those who ask athletes to “stick to sports” pic.twi…

data-mm-id=”_b2y1nrxyq”>Joe West is almost universally reviled in baseball circles. This is especially true in the younger, more progressive camps where he's seen as an obsolete dinosaur who manages to frequently and transparently amble himself nearer to the epicenter of attention. The veteran umpire's flair for the dramatic was on full display yesterday in Atlanta, where he found his way to a landline to call security in furtherance of removing Washington Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo.Rizzo, who was up in the third deck, was allegedly heckling the boys in blue. That was the reason given for the ejection and not — which can't be stressed enough — the viral notion that he was tossed for not wearing a mask. Isn’t it ironic that Joe West ejects Mike Rizzo for n…

data-mm-id=”_tbqo8tavg”>The Cleveland Browns are 4-1. You may have heard. Cleveland has bounced back admirably from a terrible 30-6 loss to open their season against the Baltimore Ravens to win four straight. The team's investments into the offensive line have quickly paid dividends as the Browns boast one of the best run games in the league, and it has opened up their offense exactly how new head coach Kevin Stefanski planned. His team has scored at least 32 points in every win so far this season, including one ridiculous shootout against Dallas that culminated in 49 points for Cleveland in regulation. It is admittedly a bit exciting to see all these pieces come together, because talent has not been the issue in Cleveland recently. However, that excitement seems to be giving some…

data-mm-id=”_pv251ix5j”>If you ever wanted to see what it would take for an NFL franchise to completely alienate the best player on its team, just take a look at how the Texans have treated Deshaun Watson the last couple of weeks. Hell, just look at their decisions over the last few days and you'll see a team intent on pissing off its franchise quarterback and succeeding at every turn. A few days ago, the Texans fired equipment manager Mike Parson and his staff. According to Adam Schefter, Watson had a close relationship with Parson and the move has upset many players. J.J. Watt was the first to voice his feelings publicly on social media. Mike Parson and his entire equipment staff are incredible people who went above and beyond to help every player in the locker room every singl…

data-mm-id=”_kc514v9z0″>Jazz Chisholm Jr. has a unique name that has a certain lyrical quality to it. It is unlikely that SNY's Keith Hernandez is the first person to get tongue-tied saying Chisholm's name out loud, but you couldn't do a better job inadvertently inventing a completely different name as Hernandez did when he called him "Chaz Jizzem" on Saturday.Chaz Jizzem pic.twitter.com/vXi2TSx1Y6— Talkin’ Baseball (@TalkinBaseball_) February 25, 2023In Hernandez's defense, it was the first game of the season. Everyone is working to get ready for the regular season and that includes the announcers who haven't called a game in months.Chisholm, who just turned 25 earlier this month, was an All-Star second baseman last year, but will be moving to ce…

data-mm-id=”_snttw8w06″>On Saturday night, Cleveland Guardians third baseman Jose Ramirez dropped Chicago White Sox shortstop Tim Anderson with a right hand to the chin. On Sunday, he was embracing his new role as a knockout artist. Ramirez's agent, Rafa Nieves, posted a photo of his client wearing boxing gloves while warming up on Progressive Field. It's not clear when the photo is from, but given it was posted before warmups on Sunday, it must have been sometime earlier in the season. Check it out: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bleacher Report (@bleacherreport)Ramirez and Anderson were part of a serious brawl Saturday night and the former is clearly embracing, and even celebrating, his role in it. It's fight night in Cleveland 😳 …

data-mm-id=”_672ugevo9″>Dallas Cowboys edge rusher Micah Parson has developed into one of the NFL's best defenders and has gotten a pretty sweet nickname to go along with his stardom. No one knows who started calling Parsons "lion" but it has stuck. He's even worked it into a celebration. On Sunday he wore a lion costume to the Cowboys' showdown with the Los Angeles Rams and declared he'd be fine wearing it in public.Here's Parson's lion celebration:Micah Parsons also said he’s trying to find a nickname for the lion crawl sack celebration. “If you got anything for it, hit me up … I might give you 1%.”pic.twitter.com/8ROerA67uq— Joseph Hoyt (@JoeJHoyt) September 20, 2023And here's the costume he wore on Sunday:Is Micah Parsons going…
