data-mm-id=”_mxff1pu4p”>Trevor Lawrence is going to be the No. 1 pick in the 2021 NFL Draft barring the end of the world or a terrible injury. His first two years at Clemson were just that good. Not even a Joe Burrow-type explosion from a previously unknown player could unseat Lawrence's place as the most coveted quarterback to come along in years. The point is that he doesn't need to do anything to prove to NFL decision-makers that he is the best prospect in this draft. Despite this, Lawrence decided to suit up and play his final college football season in the midst of a global pandemic. Today, he reminded everybody why he was so highly-regarded. Clemson faced off against Georgia Tech. By halftime, Clemson had 52 points. Georgia Tech had seven. Lawrence threw FIVE touchdowns…

data-mm-id=”_e14ggffxp”>LaMelo Ball is a good and fun young player. This is indisputable unless you do not like basketball or hate fun. He's the otherworldly passer that was promised coming into draft night this past fall, an absolute wizard who plays with the type of flair only a 20-year-old used to reality television can muster. Last night, he and the Charlotte Hornets faced off against Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors. It was a great game that saw the Hornets emerge victorious. Ball had 22 points, seven rebounds, and six assists. He also made three three-point shots. The effectiveness of his long-range jumper was the only serious question about Ball coming into the league, and he's proven everyone mostly wrong as he's shooting 35 percent from deep this year. …

data-mm-id=”_2zqs26u8d”>Super Bowl LVII hinged on a late fourth quarter play where Philadelphia Eagles cornerback James Bradberry was called for a penalty that gave the Kansas City Chiefs a chance to clinch a win. In the locker room after the game, Bradberry admitted he had committed the penalty and that it was the right call. Withe the game tied 35-35, the Chiefs faced 3rd and 8 from Philadelphia's 15-yard line with 1:54 remaining when Mahomes dropped back and floated a pass to the end zone in the direction of JuJu Smith-Schuster. Immediately a flag came out for defensive holding. Replays showed that Bradberry had grabbed Smith-Schuster twice, including tugging his jersey as the receiver broke for the end zone. The call was controversial because there wasn't a ton of contact…

data-mm-id=”_dx7fvu9ew”>The first Republican Presidential Debate is tonight in Milwaukee. Donald Trump will famously not be there, choosing instead to tape a pre-recorded interview with Tucker Carlson as alternate programming. But that doesn't mean the network isn't pulling out all the stops to give this event all the gravitas it deserves. On America's Newsroom, Bill Hemmer and Dana Perino provided a sneak peek at one of the shiniest of the bells and whistles: a drone. The drone flew around with impressive precision as it entered Fiserv Forum, breezing through security, going up the stairs and greeting debate hosts Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum.“Bring on the drone!” Fox News launches first ever drone for debate coverage.

data-mm-id=”_jgmydinl5″>Ron DeSantis appeared on Newsmax's Eric Bolling The Balance on Thursday night. Because things are going very well for the Florida Governor's presidential campaign, he was asked about the conspiracy theories that he's wearing lifts in his cowboy boots to make him appear taller. His response: "This is no time for foot fetishes. We've got serious problems as a country."DeSantis: This no time for foot fetishes pic.twitter.com/GhQ530Kr4I— Acyn (@Acyn) November 3, 2023If you're trying to get the Internet to stop talking about your feet, don't appear on cable news and make a joke about foot fetishes. Or talk about wearing a boot on your head a short time later. DeSantis: I know Donald Trump and a lot of his people have been foc…

data-mm-id=”_0nidsb9gw”>Today is the first day that truly feels like a hard return to the real world after a long, luxurious holiday break. Sure, not everyone has been kicking back and relaxing without responsibilities for three full weeks but this Monday is the day when everyone is being forced back into a cubicle or classroom to stare their responsibility in the face. All that will remain of that glorious time off are the memories and the calories. We sincerely hope you were all able to get after it to whatever extent you wished to get after it. For some, that included getting stuck in a decorative urn and becoming one of the more amusing main characters we've seen early in 2024. Fifty-one minutes into the year someone sent out notice that a situation was developing at a New Yea…

data-mm-id=”_csikswhsr”>Chet Holmgren has been outstanding for the Oklahoma City Thunder in his first NBA season on the court and only the existence of a 7-foot-6 basketball mutant in San Antonio will prevent him from taking home Rookie of the Year honors. His play is unimpeachable otherwise. The Gonzaga product is averaging 16.6 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 2.4 blocks per game while shooting 37 percent from the three-point line. His presence in the paint and ability to stretch the floor has catapulted OKC to contention way ahead of schedule, in tandem with an MVP season from Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. SGA is the team's superstar but Holmgren makes everything work on both ends. This freaking guy also looks a lot like Abraham Lincoln, the 16th president of the United States. I am obviou…

data-mm-id=”_fboujehdu”>The New York Knicks are currently up 2-0 in their second round playoff series against the Indiana Pacers. Thanks to grit, determination and some questionable calls, the vibes in NYC are currently immaculate. So much so that First Take surrounded Stephen A. Smith with a blue and orange heart on Thursday morning's episode. Despite the fact that the Knicks have not played a game since yesterday morning, Stephen A. was back to yelling about the Knicks by Friday morning. What changed overnight? Why, someone said something on a podcast, duh.During the latest edition of The Draymond Green Show the Golden State Warriors star said that the Knicks postseason run is a fluke. This was discussed on First Take on Friday with everyone disagreeing with Green, but somehow i…
