data-mm-id=”_khudpgw4t”>There are unsanctioned, shady table tennis tournaments taking place overseas right now and until very recently you were able to bet on them. This morning ESPN reported that New Jersey was suspending gambling on Ukrainian table tennis because the gaming commission had been warned about potential match fixing, but it's actually much more complicated and hilarious than that.For months people have been looking to fill the sports void in their lives with anything. Especially gamblers, who have been reduced to betting on video games and the accuracy of the weather report (probably). So when online betting sites started pushing table tennis tournaments from the other side of the globe, people were happy to jump on the opportunity, wagering hundreds of thousands a …
data-mm-id=”_3nxpymf5b”>There is a video making the rounds right now that shows Glen "Big Baby" Davis playing basketball in a very small outfit. It is mesmerizing. I've watched it a dozen times and just have so many questions. Big Baby still got it ?(via @jacobryanortiz, @legionhoops) pic.twitter.com/wJxKBz8lra— Bleacher Report (@BleacherReport) November 9, 2020The main question, of course, is huh? Where is this? Where are all the masks? Why are those clothes so small when Big Baby is so… large? After a bit of research I have learned that this video is from a game in The Crew League. It's a 4-on-4, full court basketball tournament consisting of hip-hop artists and their crews. Apparently, Big Baby counts as part of someone's crew. I guess when $100K (for ch…

Stephen Curry adapted, Klay Thompson exploded, Draymond Green stepped up every aspect of his game, and Anthony Davis disappeared. LeBron James was quiet despite some early and encouraging jumpers, but other than that the most notable thing he did all night was fall down.Wait … Why did LeBron fall down?? 💀 pic.twitter.com/JR68FMH27J— Warriors on NBCS (@NBCSWarriors) May 5, 2023I haven't seen a frustrated Los Angeles resident fall down like that since Michael Douglas. But what triggered King James? Was it the game slipping away? An attempt to remind teammates sometimes they have to help? Or…
data-mm-id=”_wkkog8nhj”>The Denver Broncos surrendered 70 points to the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. It was just the third time in NFL history a team scored 70 points in a regular season game and it was one of the more lopsided scores you'll ever see in a professional football game. Following the game left tackle Garett Bolles was asked about his emotions and gave a pretty depressing assessment of the state of things in Denver.“I’ve been here for seven years and all I’ve done is lost.”Broncos lineman Garett Bolles shared his emotions after Denver’s 50 point defeat in Miami. #9sports pic.twitter.com/Q8eR2I68H6— Scotty Gange (@Scotty_G6) September 24, 2023"Shit.

data-mm-id=”_9bnf5ku15″>Football tends to dominate Thanksgiving in the U.S., with three big NFL games throughout the day. But the NBA tends to cede the day to the NFL and doesn't have games the way it does on Christmas Day. In fact, this is the 12th season in a row, the NBA has no games scheduled on Thanksgiving.Thanksgiving is one of four days on the calendar that never feature NBA games — not including the All-Star break. The league never has games on Christmas Eve, won't put them on the day of the NCAA championship, and takes Election Day off to encourage players and fans to vote. The removal of Thanksgiving Day games is a fairly recent phenomenon, as the NBA scheduled them until 12 years ago. The last time games were played on Thanksgiving was 2010. If that's bummin…
data-mm-id=”_i7d5hv9ju”>It did not take Nostradamus-level foresight to believe the Oakland Athletics' planned move to Las Vegas was an ill-fated venture once it became clear last year that was owner John Fisher's top priority. Forcing the team to spend as little as possible on payroll, then whining that the city wouldn't give the franchise enough money to build a new stadium was utterly pathetic to watch in real time. But there were a bunch of glaring issues obvious to even the uninformed fan that could easily trip this move up. Like, for example, where the Athletics were going to play given Las Vegas does not have a Major League Baseball stadium. Sure, they could just build one, but that comes along with many, many pitfalls on its own. Then you get into the complete la…

He's also a good sport.The Indiana Pacers All-Star guard played in only three games for the United States at the Paris Olympics, logging a grand total of 26 minutes and scoring just eight points in the entire tournament.Left out of the equation in Steve Kerr's rotation "math problem" in determining who plays and who sits, Haliburton watched from the bench for the second-straight game on Sunday, as Team USA beat France 98-87 to win Paris Olympics gold.Haliburton never got to remove his warmups, but he had a great seat at Bercy Arena to witness the greatness of Stephen Curry, whose late 3-point barrage held off Victor Wembanyama and the French. Afterward, Haliburton displayed his gold medal on soci…

Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag has emerged as an option for Bayern Munich after being rejected by Ralf Rangnick, according to reports.
Bayern are on the search for a new manager after deciding to part ways with Thomas Tuchel.
They may be regretting this decision after the ex-Chelsea boss led them to the Champions League semi-finals, but more importantly because they have been turned down by their Plan A, Plan B and now Plan C.
Bayer Leverkusen s Xabi Alonso was their number-one choice and after he committed his future to Bayern s Bundesliga rivals, they turned their attention to former boss Julian Nagelsmann, who was sacked and replaced by Tuchel last March.
The Germany boss rejected the Bavarians advances and is fully focused on this summer s Eu…
