data-mm-id=”_ui436uigm”>Greg Schiano got hired by Rutgers again, which naturally meant that Clay Travis and Joel Klatt were going to have a disagreement about the merits of what went down when Travis led the campaign to undo the coach's hiring at Tennesee. Neither of their opinions on the matter are much different than in 2017, and can essentially be summed up here:Again, you're dead wrong…we told you that slandering a man based on 3rd party, uncorroborated information in order to undermine his hiring because you didn't want him as your coach was unethical, dirty, and pathetic…even for you https://t.co/Gsz024S9Jw— Joel Klatt (@joelklatt) December 1, 2019The crux of Travis' argument is that Tennessee fans were vilified for getting the administration to change c…

data-mm-id=”_rqxoy8obw”>Anthony Rendon helped the Washington Nationals top the Houston Astros in the 2019 World Series and dropped a bomb about that matchup on Monday. Rendon claimed the Nationals knew the Astros were stealing signs during the World Series. During a media session on Monday, Rendon — who is now a member of the Los Angeles Angels — was asked about the Astros sign-stealing scandal. He answered several questions concerning how he views the players now, etc. Then he was asked if the Nationals knew the Astros were stealing signs. Here's what he had to say:Anthony Rendon said the Nationals were tipped off on the Astros’ sign-stealing prior to the 2019 World Series and that they were suspicious. Said this was pretty well known what Houston was up to, but said that he…

data-mm-id=”_ddo3ixctt”>Andy Dalton signed with the Dallas Cowboys. Dalton signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys that will be worth between $3 million and $7 million. This could complicate Dak Prescott's life and contract negotiations. Dalton spent the first nine years of his career in Cincinnati before the Bengals drafted Joe Burrow and released the Red Rifle. It was assumed he would go somewhere he would either be the obvious starter or at least compete for a starting job. And maybe he did. The Cowboys placed the exclusive franchise tag on Prescott way back in March, but have still not been able to agree to a new contract. The latest rumor is that the length of a new deal is an issue. By signing Dalton, the Cowboys have insurance no matter what. If Prescott ends up holding ou…

data-mm-id=”_5bet2v6h2″>Marcus Spears was on Get Up Monday morning. While talking about George Floyd, Spears had to stop to gather himself when he started to talk about his son asking, "Why didn't he get off of him?" It's a tough question and it obviously stuck with him..@mspears96 gets emotional when discussing the death of George Floyd and the effect it had on his 11-year-old son. pic.twitter.com/YUdx4rR7ND— Get Up (@GetUpESPN) June 1, 2020This is an excellent job by Spears to keep his composure and finish his thoughts. Also an excellent job by Mike Greenberg jumping in to tell him to take his time and let the moment happen. This was a product of a difficult time and handled well by everyone involved. We're probably going to see many more moments like this …

data-mm-id=”_seek12odr”>Giants rookie head coach Joe Judge has come in guns blazing to his first training camp, flouting the common sense methods most coaches follow in the preseason in order to endear themselves to players and, more importantly, keep them healthy. It started with him making players and coaches run laps if they made a mistake and continued when he extended a practice for an additional half an hour because he wasn't pleased with the performance of his team. But while those decisions raised some eyebrows, his latest idea might blow minds. Specifically, Giants quarterback Daniel Jones' mind if he's not careful. For some unknown reason, Judge floated the idea of taking away Jones' red jersey following practice yesterday. A symbol to defenders that you a…
