The band is back together — now that Dwayne Wade has signed with the Cavaliers to reunite with his good buddy LeBron James. And since the good times will be rolling once again, the two decided to celebrate by sipping some red wine together, which Dwyane Wade posted on Snapchat.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers doesn’t miss out on an opportunity to point out the NFL’s shortcomings, as he’s been pretty outspoken over the past few years. And with how polarizing the anthem protests have been, Rodgers has placed himself in the middle of it, by speaking his mind and declaring that players have the right to react however they choose. Rodgers didn’t stop there, either. He took to Instagram on Wednesday and posted a photo that attempts to expose those who are against kneeling for being hypocritical, in a sense. It shows the Packers players linking arms during the...

Tim Tebow hit up a Sam Hunt concert in Nashville on Satruday, and he was spotted with a famous reality TV star while there as well. Savannah Chrisley, who is the focal point of Chrisley Knows Best, dated basketball player Luke Kennard for awhile, which makes sense, since they’re within one year of the same age. Tebow, who is 30, was seen hanging out with Chrisley at the concert. Here’s the caption that accompanied the post, in case you can’t read it on mobile: “What a great night last night!! @timtebow so sweet! #15ina30tour” “So sweet,” eh? Does that...

Warriors star Stephen Curry made the most recent cover of “Sports Illustrated,’ but that doesn’t necessarily mean he was happy about it. Curry was pictured on the cover, locking arms with LeBron James and Roger Goodell, with head coach Steve Kerr behind him. THIS WEEK’S COVER: In a nation divided, the sports world is coming together https://t.co/sKPjrhHhmZ pic.twitter.com/3yzkvV1OCl — Sports Illustrated (@SInow) September 26, 2017 But apparently, that wasn’t enough, as he wanted Colin Kaepernick on the cover as well. “That was terrible,” Curry said, via Connor Letourneau of the San Francisco Chronicle. “…If you don’t have (Kaepernick) front...

Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson recently did a good deed that speaks volumes about the type of person he is. Watson donated his first-ever NFL game check to three Texans employees who work in the team cafeteria. These people were unfortunate to have lost everything in Hurricane Harvey, and Watson tried to help provide some financial relief for them. Video footage of the touching moment has now surfaced, and you can watch it in the clip below. Watson even lent some emotional support to them as well, as he was seen saying “Anything else y’all need, I’m always here to...

Now that Carmelo Anthony has joined Russell Westbrook and Paul George in Oklahoma City, the Thunder are, once again, a legitimate force in the Western Conference that is capable of making a title run. And while the Warriors are still the team to beat, the Thunder now have a “superteam” of their own, and should be able to give Golden State a run for its money. It’s not easy to earn the “superteam” title, and with great power comes great responsibility. However, there are other perks that go along with it as well — some of them coming in...

Michael Beasley has provided NBA fans with some entertaining moments on the court as well as a few really interesting thoughts off of it over the years. And now that he’s a member of the Knicks, we can expect the NY media to ask the right questions to ensure that he delivers even more. SNY’s Taylor Rooks sure helped that cause, as she invited Beasley on her podcast “Timeout with Taylor Rooks.” Beasley gladly accepted, and shared some thoughts on the human brain, for some reason. Beasley began by questioning how it’s widely believed that humans only believe 10...

Eagles kicker Jake Elliott now appears to be $31,000-ish richer, after draining a game-winner from 61 yards out to beat the Giants on Sunday. Quarterback Carson Wentz was overheard on the sidelines telling Elliott he’d give him his game check if he made the kick. That amounts to $31,764.71, and now it’s time for Wentz to pay up, which we’re sure he will, because he’s an awesome teammate and a man of his word. In case you didn’t know, Elliott was a former Bengals practice squad guy, who was signed by the Eagles just days before the game. He’s...

The Sports Daily DJ Swearinger trolls Marshawn Lynch over big hit he delivered during game (VIDEO) The Redskins held Marshawn Lynch to just 18 yards on six carries Sunday night, as he was a complete non-factor in the blowout loss. Lynch, on one particular play, was absolutely lit up by Redskins safety DJ Swearinger. The Raiders veteran running back received a handoff, got his legs churning and appeared to have some momentum, when he was absolutely drilled and dropped by Swearinger. The Redskins safety posted a video of it on Instagram, with this as a caption: “I Eat Skittles Too!!!...

The Sports Daily County fair worker zings LaMelo Ball after challenging him to shoot-off (VIDEO) LaMelo Ball will need to have thick skin if he wants to play in the NBA, and it appears that he’s already being tested a bit since jumping into the spotlight. Now that LaVar Ball, LaMelo and Lonzo have their “Ball in the Family” reality show, which they’ve been filming, it’s no surprise that others in the Los Angeles area have been trying to get under their skin. That’s what happened at the Los Angeles County Fair, which ended over the weekend. LaMelo and a...

The Sports Daily Watch Gareth Bale’s beautiful volley for goal give Real Madrid lead over Borussia Dortmund Real Madrid have been underwhelming in La Liga play thus far this season, but they showed up in Tuesday’s Champions League game against Borussia Dortmund in a big way. Gareth Bale opened the scoring in the 18th minute of the match, with a beautiful volley that he banged home with authority. He received a great ball in, just inside the top of the box, and sent a firecracker into the net, giving Madrid a 1-0 lead. Goal Gareth Bale #HalaMadrid #GarethBale ⚽️ pic.twitter.com/Tksy4VYPfC...

The Sports Daily Floyd Mayweather has Conor McGregor tribute in Beverly Hills mansion? There was plenty of trash talk between Floyd Mayweather Jr. and Conor McGregor leading up to their August bout, but that seems to be water under the bridge, given what the two have had to say since. No one is better at selling a fight than Mayweather, and it appears that’s what the two were trying to do. We wouldn’t be surprised if they’re hanging out right now sipping a cocktail and laughing about everything. McGregor also received a pretty high honor from the GOAT recently as...

The Sports Daily Ric Flair reveals he had sex with roughly 10K women in ’30 for 30′ documentary It’s no secret that wrestling legend Ric Flair has always been popular among women, and now we know just how popular he was, with the numbers to back it up. Flair recently wrapped a “30 for 30” documentary which will air November on ESPN — entitled “Nature Boy” — and he opened up about just how many women he’s been with. In it, the 68-year-old wrestling icon reveals that he had sex with “roughly” 10,000 women, but now wishes he hadn’t revealed...

The Sports Daily Bill Russell’s first-ever tweet addresses social injustice Celtics legend Bill Russell has long avoided joining social media, but he came out of the woodwork Monday to voice his opinion about social injustice. Russell posted a photo of himself wearing the Presidential Medal of Freedom — which was given to him in 2011 by former President Barack Obama — while taking a knee. It stands as the first tweet he ever sent from his Twitter account. The caption that accompanied the photo reads as follows: “Proud to take a knee, and to stand tall against social injustice.” It’s...

The Sports Daily Michael Bennett wishes to speak with Donald Trump in person President Donald Trump is a busy man, but Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett wants the POTUS to carve out time in his schedule so the two can have a sit down. Bennett recently appeared on “Anderson Cooper 360,” and made it clear that he wants to talk about racial injustice involving law enforcement, as well as the national anthem issue. This issue hits close to home for the Seahawks pass-rusher, who claims he was a victim of racial profiling by the Las Vegas Police Department during the...

The Sports Daily Dak Prescott uses somersault to flip into end zone for TD (VIDEO) The Cowboys offense had been stagnant through most of the first half of Monday night’s game, but quarterback Dak Prescott put an end to that drought fairly quickly. Prescott took off running in the second quarter of the game, headed for the end zone, and he was met by a defender. But he would not be denied, so he leaped and flipped into the end zone for a 10-yard touchdown. DAK FLIP TD pic.twitter.com/eOmAt6eYQs — Steve Noah (@Steve_OS) September 26, 2017 He never really hit...

The Sports Daily Dez Bryant carries Cardinals defenders into end zone for TD (VIDEO) Cowboys receiver Dez Bryant had been facing some criticism heading into Monday night’s game against the Cardinals regarding his lack of production. Bryant caught only nine passes for 102 yards in the first two weeks of the season, and it was clear that he felt he had something to prove on primetime television, especially while matched up against Patrick Peterson —  one of the top cornerbacks in the league. The Cowboys star did something during the game that he’s done many times during his career —...

The Sports Daily Marcus Smart lost a lot of weight in offseason to become more athletic (PHOTO) With the additions of Kyrie Irving and Gordon Hayward, the Celtics are looking to be a more athletic team in the 2017-18 season. Swingman Marcus Smart took note of that, and he hired a chef to help change his diet so he could she 20 pounds, according to Ricky Doyle of NESN. Smart cut out fried foods and adjusted what he eats to more of a Mediterranean diet, and it’s worked. Check out this photo of him from the Celtics’ Media Day, which...

The Sports Daily Gregg Popovich tees off on Donald Trump over recent comments Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has always had a distaste for President Donald Trump. Even before the protests over racial injustice began, Pop has been adamant about what Trump’s presidency would mean for the future of the country, and how it would look overseas. Pop’s comments began before Trump was even elected into office, so it’s not like he was going to stop now. And with Spurs training camp beginning, he was asked about how he felt about Trump’s recent comments. As usual, he did not mince...

The Sports Daily Carmelo Anthony thanks Knicks fans in heartfelt letter Carmelo Anthony spent the last six seasons of his career with the Knicks — playing for his hometown team — but it was time for him to move on, in hopes of winning a championship. Knicks fans have been supportive of Melo since the talk about him potentially leaving first began, as they clearly understand the issues with ownership and what Phil Jackson did to the team. This team has had to take a few steps back, and the rebuild is officially on (again). Now that he’s been traded...
