data-mm-id=”_mdv5jcgml”>The New York Jets cut Le'Veon Bell tonight after unsuccessfully trying to trade the high-profile running back since last season. Bell is now a free who can go wherever he wants – or at least wherever he is wanted. While there was no trade market for Bell, somebody is going to want to see if he's still got it. So where might he fit???— Le'Veon Bell (@LeVeonBell) October 14, 2020New England PatriotsLet's get this out of the way right now. All AFC East teams are in play because it would be funny when he inevitably has a big game against the Jets later this season. Belichick has given carries to five different running backs this season and they are all averaging at least 4.3 yards per carry. Belichick could clearly plug in anyone and they would…

data-mm-id=”_0m2h3ct2n”>It looked like The Big Lead was in some trouble in the picks and predictions department on Sunday, but things managed to even out. Liam and Kyle left Week 12 with a 6-9 record, which is nice, if anything. It does mean, though, that the pair fall below .500 in overall record for the first time in a long time, sliding to a 76-78 record on the year. But they plan to use this as motivation to excel, as the best athletes, pickers, and predictors always do. Here are our Week 13 predictions and picks against the spread (all odds via WynnBet).SAINTS (+6) over COWBOYSWe keep thinking Sean Payton is operating within the parameters of a masterplan.

data-mm-id=”_nv8ft5fj7″>While most people are paying very close attention to the Iowa State Fair, there's another Midwestern gathering going on at the neighboring Illinois State Fair. While Ron DeSantis and other Republican presidential hopefuls are in Iowa, Illinois has to settle for Governor J.B. Pritzker who was nice enough to stop and sign a baseball for Dick Bigger Jr., of Biggsville, Illinois. Gov. J. B. Pritzker signs baseballs for Dick Bigger Jr., of Biggsville, during Governors Day at the Illinois State Fair in Springfield on Wednesday, Aug. 16, 2023. Bigger has politicians sign baseballs every year he attends the fair and has a ball signed by fmr. President Obama. pic.twitter.com/tHExRwJGZn— Trent Sprague (@tspraguephoto) August 16, 2023If that name sounds familiar, co…

data-mm-id=”_7l4l4g9cp”>Josh McDaniels' second disastrous head coaching stint has come to a blissful end. The world watched as the wheels came completely off the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football against the Detroit Lions; apparently the 26-14 loss was the last straw for owner Mark Davis. Not that any of us should be all that surprised. McDaniels did exactly the same thing as when he was the head coach for the Denver Broncos over a decade ago– he came in, made all the team's best players mad, got rid fo them for his "own guys," and lost a ton of games in the process. Still, it was a bit of a shock to see Davis fire McDaniels in the middle of the season after being forced to do the same thing with Jon Gruden in 2021. Antonio Pierce, linebackers coach, has b…

data-mm-id=”_rw0vkydbd”>The Golden State Warriors blew a considerable lead to the Sacramento Kings last night in a contest with significant In-Season Tournament implications, which probably doesn't make the players feel that much worse but it definitely doesn't make them better. The Dubs got off to a hot start at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento but the home side clawed their way back into the game and sealed the comeback win with a wild Malik Monk bank shot leaning runner sort of thing. pic.twitter.com/3oHZx7Rj1e— Gonzalo Vázquez (@GVazquezNY) November 29, 2023It's an unfamiliar sight. Even in the twilight of their dynasty the Warriors are not in the habit of blowing big leads, especially to "little brother" teams like the Kings. Perhaps it is a sign that the …

data-mm-id=”_yhstfz6uk”>Alabama senator Katie Britt made national headlines with her weird, off-putting response to Joe Biden's State of the Union address. She was even parodied by Scarlett Johansson on Saturday Night Live. Her odd, overly-dramatic swings of mood, cadence and intensity were panned nationally. Some called the performance a career killer. Apparently, she didn't learn from that experience. On Wednesday night, Britt was a guest on Fox News' Hannity and discussed some of the same topics she did in her State of the Union response. Once again, she had odd changes between being intense and smiling, and her voice got breathy, then forceful at inappropriate times.
