If 80s movies proved anything, it was a leading male actor doesn’t have actually be able to act. They just have to be kind of muscular and deliver quips after landing punches. But it’s not the 80s anymore. Hollywood demands a new breed of action stars to make another dozen Fast and Furious sequels. Could […]

Panthers goalie Roberto Luongo fought back tears as he spoke to the BB&T Center crowd just a couple of minutes before the start of the game.
This was the Panthers’ first home game since last week’s deadly shooting at nearby Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla. Luongo, a resident of Parkland, spoke to the crowd about his admiration for the students, who have loudly pushed for change after yet another school shooting. Then again, nobody has been hotter lately […]
NHL players have spoken up about their dislike of the rule’s inconsistency from game to game.
NHL players have had enough of the controversial — and inconsistent — goaltender interference rule, if Cam Talbot’s outburst on Saturday is any indication. The Edmonton Oilers found themselves on the wrong side of a goaltender interference call, again, in a 1-0 loss to the Arizona Coyotes. The Winnipeg Jets were rightfully furious when Vegas […]
Like the franchise, Luck has dealt with a lot of change over the past 13 months.
He had surgery on his right shoulder in January 2017. He missed all of the team’s offseason workouts, all of training camp and eventually the entire 2017 season after experiencing soreness that couldn’t be calmed by a cortisone shot once he started practicing in the middle of October. Luck also spent about six weeks in […]
When Brady lifted the first of his four Lombardi Trophies, he wasn’t the elite passing legend we all know and some love now.
Dawson, the Chiefs’ then-future Hall of Fame quarterback, played OK in the 23-7 victory over the Vikings, completing 12 of 17 passes for 142 yards, a touchdown, and an interception. Kicker Jan Stenerud did most of the scoring in a defensive-heavy effort, as Kansas City shut down Minnesota’s running game and made life miserable for […]
They ended the first half of their season with a disappointing performance and a loss to the Jets last Thursday night in the Meadowlands.
They open the second half of their season Sunday at home against the Saints in an intriguing matchup of teams having surprisingly successful years. The Miami Dolphins nearly watched their playoff hopes take a big hit before a miraculous field goal at the end of regulation pushed their game against the Buffalo Bills to overtime […]
The New England Patriots fell 10 spots to No. 11 in the rankings after their stunning loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on opening night.
It’s probably just a bump on the road to the AFC championship game — and their true strength probably should be well inside the top 10 — but still, Week 1’s results mean something, and their defense could be a cause for concern heading into a matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Strength: Where do […]
Over the past month or so, those apologies have rung hollow.
The Spurs initially disclosed Leonard’s injury on Sept. 30, announcing that he would miss the entire preseason because of right quadriceps tendinopathy. Popovich said at the time Leonard would “probably miss the beginning of the preseason or a good deal of preseason,” and indicated the quadriceps issue first developed sometime in the 2016-17 season. After […]
