Anime fans might be flocking to buy Mohamed Sanu’s jersey, after he revealed one of his guilty pleasures to the public.

One of Takkarist McKinley’s dreadlocks is up for sale on eBay

Falcons defensive end Takkarist McKinley lost something on the football field during Sunday’s game against the Lions at Ford Field, and if he wants to pony up enough cash, he can buy it back. One of McKinley’s dreadlocks must have either fallen out or been pulled out on Sunday, because it’s currently up for sale on eBay. McKinley got word of it, and it seemed to amuse him. I’m dead I gotta buy my dread back pic.twitter.com/TeC23UcAC5 — Takkarist McKinley (@Takk) September 29, 2017 The eBay user who put the dreadlock up for bid claims to work at Ford...

Russell Westbrook trolls Kevin Durant by signing largest contract in NBA history on his birthday

There was a lot of talk about whether or not Oklahoma City Thunder star Russell Westbrook would sign his extension to remain with the team going forward. Rumors of him sticking around for a year and then jumping ship to Los Angeles were circulating, as some tried to predict what next summer’s free-agency frenzy would look like. LeBron James and Paul George were being linked to the Lakers, so it wasn’t crazy to presume that Westbrook could possibly join them. But he’s now staying in OKC, after signing the largest deal in NBA history on Friday. Russell Westbrook has...

Five things we learned from Carlo Ancelotti’s firing

Immediately following Bayern Munich’s 3-0 drubbing at the hands of Paris Saint-Germain, club chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge stated that the loss would come with “consequences.” Sure enough, it did, as then-manager Carlo Ancelotti, who had been at the helm of the club for just over a year, was fired. Here are five things we learned from his sacking. Bayern’s underwhelming results in the Bundesliga are a major reason why Ancelotti is currently unemployed Only six games into the Bundesliga season, the club finds itself in third place, three points behind current leaders Borussia Dortmund. While this ground can be made...

John Fox mum about quarterback situation after blowout loss

After the Bears were blown out by the Packers, 35-14, on Thursday night, in a nationally-televised game, it’s safe to say John Fox is on the hot seat, and is likely coaching for his job. The Bears failed to win more than six games in each of Fox’s first two seasons as the team’s head coach, and they’re off to a 1-3 start this year. Chicago lacks an identity on offense, and inconsistent play at the quarterback position is not helping matters. Veteran quarterback Mike Glennon completed 21 of 33 passes in Thursday night’s loss, but turned the football...

Danny Trevathan gets blasted on Twitter over cheap shot to Davante Adams’ head

Bears linebacker Danny Trevathan was the subject of much criticism on Thursday night when he put a late hit on Packers receiver Davante Adams at the end of a play. It happened late in the third quarter when Adams caught a pass, was eventually wrapped up by a few Bears defenders and was on his way to the ground. Trevathan then came flying in and hit him right in the head — leading with the crown of his helmet in doing so. Trevathan was flagged for unnecessary roughness, while Adams was taken to the hospital in an ambulance. The...

Tony Romo perfectly predicted Packers’ fourth-down play call (VIDEO)

CBS broadcaster Tony Romo continues to look as if he’s been broadcasting games for a decade, even though it’s actually only his first year on the job. It’s crazy to think that just one year ago, Romo was on the Cowboys’ roster, and now he’s in the booth — doing an excellent job in calling games. Viewers got another taste of his football IQ during Thursday night’s Bears-Packers game, when he perfectly predicted what type of play the Packers would run on a fourth-and-one situation. Before the ball was snapped, Romo predicted the Packers would run a bootleg with...

Clay Matthews strip-sacks Mike Glennon, sets Packers record (VIDEO)

The Bears tried to be sneaky on their first play from scrimmage in Thursday night’s game against the Packers, and that really wasn’t a good idea. Rather than running the ball, the Bears elected to go play-action, and it backfired big-time. Quarterback Mike Glennon held onto the ball too long, and Clay Matthews made him pay for it. Matthews drilled Glennon, who fumbled the ball, and the Packers recovered — setting up a touchdown and 14-0 lead. LOOSE FOOTBALL! The @packers recover deep in the red zone. #TNF #GoPackGo pic.twitter.com/o1CC02w9QB — NFL (@NFL) September 29, 2017 It was the...

Bruce Maxwell booed by Texas Rangers fans after kneeling

It was one thing when A’s catcher Bruce Maxwell elected to take a knee in Oakland in front of the home fans, but it was up for debate as to how things were going to go on the road. Not well, apparently. The A’s traveled to Texas for a series with the Rangers on Thursday, and fans were not appreciative of how Maxwell kneeled during the national anthem. They responded with boos, which came on multiple occurrences, according to the Associated Press. The catcher was warming up starter Sean Manaea, out of view from many fans and cameras. One...

Danica Patrick shows off handstand pushups, flaunting her strength (VIDEO)

Danica Patrick may ply her trade on the race track, but she’s also more fit than many NASCAR drivers, and routinely does strenuous workouts that show just how athletic she is. We can include handstand pushups in that group, for example. Patrick recently posted a video of herself perfectly balancing on her head, while slowly doing five inverted pushups, which is ridiculous. Here’s the caption that accompanied the post: Ohhhh how are you ever going to be better at something if you don’t practice!!!!!! I can do kipping handstand push ups against the wall for days, deficit handstand push...

Watch Megyn Kelly’s cameraman’s NSFW outburst after interrupting Carli Llloyd interview

It’s always funny when someone who is working behind-the-scenes on a TV set messes up, and it’s part of what makes live TV organic/great. That’s what happened during Megyn Kelly’s interview with Carli Llloyd on Thursday, when a cameraman stepped right in the middle of the shot, blocking Lloyd from view. And after realizing he was in the way, he dropped a “S–t” bomb, which was picked up by a hot mic. Megyn Kelly’s camera man stepped into the frame and then said “shit.” pic.twitter.com/zh5vaFPQGl — Kate Aurthur (@KateAurthur) September 28, 2017 Lloyd’s reaction — shown in the above...

Phil Mickelson snaps epic selfie with three former presidents (PHOTO)

The Presidents Cup is a big deal, and even though current POTUS Donald Trump was not in attendance — possibly due to everything that’s been going on right now — many other former presidents were. In fact, the last three presidents were all there, and Phil Mickelson managed to get a selfie with all of them, which is pretty awesome when you think about it. Without further ado, here’s Mickelson with Barack Obama, George Bush and Bill Clinton. When you can take a selfie with three US Presidents, you do it!! pic.twitter.com/E3pNlZ07gs — Tim Mickelson (@goodwalkspoiled) September 28, 2017...

LOOK: Cristiano Ronaldo shows off new $3 million car

Real Madrid star Cristiano Ronaldo now owns a car that is worth more than many of us hope to earn in a lifetime. And he certainly can afford it, given that his net worth is approximately $93 million. Ronaldo posted some photos of his new sports car, a Bugatti Chiron, which costs roughly $3 million. It’s the type of luxury vehicle you can’t even imagine seeing while driving on the road. Here he is alongside the car earlier in the year, which we can assume is when he first wanted to own one. How many miles do you think...

John Wall takes a shot at superteams with Instagram post

Superteams are all the rage these days, and if a team didn’t improve during this past offseason, they might as well begin preparing for next summer — which could be the most loaded free-agent class in NBA history. The Wizards didn’t really make any major moves this offseason, and for the most part, it’s the same roster that was a game away from appearing in the Eastern Conference Finals. Both the Cavs and Celtics improved, while the Wizards remained the same. John Wall isn’t fazed, though, and seems to be happy paired alongside Bradley Beal. He took a shot...

Lonzo Ball’s newest rap track is about his ‘ZO2’ sneakers (LISTEN)

There aren’t too many players — in any sport — we can point to that have nearly pictures on the photo wire that show only their shoes. After looking at Getty Images a few minutes ago, I can say that that is actually true for Lonzo Ball. Ball’s “ZO2” sneakers are currently available for purchase, and they’ll only set you back a cool $495. To help promote them, Lonzo released a song about them, because designer shoes are so important. You can be the judge as far as how the song sounds, but the comments on Soundcloud speak volumes....

Terrell Suggs not falling for Ben Roethlisberger’s ‘Jedi mind tricks’

It’s still early in the 2017 NFL season, but with all the weapons the Steelers have on offense, it’s not an overreaction to say they’re not performing at the level many predicted they would be at. The Steelers rank 16th in the league in points per game (21.3), and 22nd in yards per game (302.3), and that’s not going to cut it if the team hopes to play in the AFC Championship game for the second consecutive year. With a veteran quarterback and a stable of dynamic receivers, as well as one of the shiftiest running backs in the...

Mike Ditka urges NFL’ers not to protest ‘against the Constitution’

Bears legend Mike Ditka recently shared his thoughts about NFL players protesting the national anthem, and he was very adamant that is sends the wrong message. Whether it’s because he’s a strong believer in the flag, or because he’s a big Donald Trump supporter, Ditka doubled down on his stance with some recent comments to Michael Sneed of the Chicago Sun-Times. “But I don’t believe you demonstrate against the American flag,” Ditka said. “I believe in the American flag. Or demonstrate against the Constitution. I believe in the Constitution. I’m old fashioned. There are other ways to get your...

Connor McDavid flips puck to himself then shoots it in mid-air for ridiculous goal (VIDEO)

It won’t be long before Connor McDavid surpasses Sidney Crosby as the face of the NHL, and it may even happen this season. McDavid is the leader on a team that is a legitimate Stanley Cup contender, he’s the captain and he also scores ridiculous goals on the regular. He did just that during Wednesday’s preseason game, when he flipped the puck to himself and blasted it into the net. Connor McDavid is in midseason form. Flips the puck in the air and then swings it into the net. pic.twitter.com/JAi4QT8ID0 — Brady Trettenero (@BradyTrett) September 28, 2017 McDavid made...

Wiz Khalifa throws out first pitch at Pirates game, fails miserably (VIDEO)

Rap mogul Wiz Khalifa attended high school in Pittsburgh, so it’s no surprise that he was given the honor of throwing out the first pitch before Wednesday’s Orioles-Pirates game. Khalifa walked out to the mound wearing a “Legalize It” shirt, being the cannabis aficionado he is. And once he settled himself and hurled the ball toward the plate, let’s just say he didn’t exactly throw smoke. The ball sailed far to the left, and didn’t even reach the plate before hitting the ground. Wiz Khalifa threw out the 1st pitch at the @Pirates game tonight. Good thing he’s a...

This video of Sixers players failing to make a shot during shootaround is hilarious

Trust the process, Sixers fans. That mantra applies even when the team undergoes a shooting slump where the ball just won’t go in the basket — and not just during games, but during practices as well, like what took place during shootaround on Wednesday, for example. Even with all of the young talent the team now has on its roster, the Sixers went through a stretch that lasted close to a minute, in which they literally could not buy a basket. Whether it was a lay-up, mid-range jumper or perimeter look, nothing was going in. You can watch and...
