Chicago faced a 3rd and 9 with just under two minutes left in the game at the Detroit 16-yard line and trailing 14-13 coming out of a Detroit timeout. As the Bears were about to snap the ball on their 3rd and 9 play, Detroit's defense looked confused and was forced to call another timeout, which is a 5-yard penalty in the NFL. "Obviously can't do that," Lions head coach Dan Campbell said after the game. "But we had miscommunication. Half of our secondary had one Hoka Sneakers  call and half had the other. It was a check by what they were doing, so you don't get it until in the middle of the play, but it's something we had talked about. You don't get it pre snap. It's a call and it's got basically a check on it to what they're going to do and what they line up in o...

There's a reason Brooklyn Nets superstar Kevin Durant is already on the NBA's top-75 list. With his first basket in Wednesday's 123-104 win over the Boston Celtics, Durant passed a legend on the all-time scoring list. That would be Philadelphia 76ers icon Allen Iverson,Yeezy Release Date 2021  who scored 24,368 points over his 17-year career. Durant came into Wednesday's game just a point behind Iverson.

At 33, Durant still looks li...

Let's just say the Gonzaga-UCLA rematch didn't live up to the hype. Seven months after the Zags needed an all-timer of a buzzer-beater to escape the Bruins' bid to end their undefeated season, the No. 1-ranked Bulldogs smeared the No. 2 team in the country into a fine paste at the Good Sam Empire Classic in Las Vegas, winning 83-63. Never mind that UCLA returned nearly the entire corps of its unlikely  Nike Air Force 1 Shadow Final Four team while Gonzaga lost two All-Americans to the NBA draft. The Zags simply reloaded with the biggest bullet in the country, a seven-foot 19-year-old who combines guard-like skill with some of the best shot-blocking college basketball has ever seen. Rivals No. 1 overall recruit Chet Holmgren finished with 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting, six...

One of the all-time great "what ifs" in NFL draft lore has to be the missed opportunity of pairing Peyton Manning and Bill Parcells. When Manning was a junior at Tennessee, he faced a tough call: stay in school or declare for the 1997 draft. That sounds odd in the era of underclassmen quarterbacks,Dr Martens Boots  but it wasn't an absurd debate at the time. Still, many thought Manning would declare. Instead, he stayed. Volunteer Nation rejoiced. The New York Jets and Parcells, one would assume, were nonplussed. The Jets were coming off a 1-15 season, led by Rich Kotite. He was fired, and Parcells was brought in as the head coach and general manager. Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning (R) shakes hands with Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells (L) ...
