On September 23, Post Malone took to Boston’s TD Garden, where the NBA’s Celtics play their home games, for a concert. He also paid tribute to the city by wearing a jersey of Celtics guard Marcus Smart, the reigning NBA Defensive Player Of The Year. It turns out the two Dallas natives got to enjoy some time together backstage and Smart spoke about a fun moment they shared.

During an interview with NBC Sports Boston at the Celtics’ media day on September 26, Smart was asked if he got to play Malone at beer pong and he said, “Yeah, I played him. I won one game, but I went five in a row the last game! […] He’s really good. He kept telling me to call [Celtics President Of Basketball Operations] Brad [Stevens] for him, though. Every shot he made, he was like, ‘Call Brad, sign me up, give me the 10-day [contract]!’”

After the concert, Smart shared photos of himself and Malone backstage and wrote on Instagram, “That was a [fire] show @postmalone thanks for the love Friday night. Fans were crazy live. Felt their love as well. Place was crazy. Boston fans never fail.”

Malone’s second Boston concert of the tour, set for September 24, was postponed as Malone noted, “I’m having a very difficult time breathing, and there’s like a stabbing pain whenever I breathe or move.” This came not long after he fell in an on-stage hole and injured his ribs.

Myles Garrett got into an incredibly scary car crash earlier this week as he was driving home from Browns practice. Garrett was driving his Porsche with a passenger when he eventually flipped multiple times. He and the passenger were able to escape with just minor injuries and now, Garrett is looking to play on Sunday.

On Friday, Garrett got to speak to reporters for the first time since the incident, and for the most part, he appeared to be in good spirits. Garrett reiterated his intentions to play although he was told that he will be a game-time decision as he still has some lingering issues from the crash.

“Grateful that, not only that I’m alive, but I was able to have so much of my family and the support system that was around me,” Garrett said to the reporters.

Getting into a car crash can be scary for anyone, and there is no doubt that Garrett is thankful to be okay right now. Hopefully, he is able to get back on the field healthy, and in proper shape to play.

LeBron James Roasted After Co-Signing Tory Lanez Album

by

Tory Lanez came through with a 20-track new album for his fans on Friday, called Sorry 4 What. The album has been getting praise from his supporters on social media, although there are plenty of people swearing off the album due to his ongoing shooting case against Megan Thee Stallion.

One person who is looking past that and enjoying the music is none other than LeBron James. LeBron has always been an avid rap listener, and on Friday, he replied to CuffsTheLegend on Twitter with some praise for the album. As you can see, he wrote “He never misses. That boy talented as hell man! Bangers for days!!”

Twitter was not happy with LeBron’s response, as they felt like it was a betrayal of some of the things he has said in the past regarding the need to protect black women. While Tory’s case against Meg has yet to be settled or resolved, there are a lot of people who see Tory as guilty, which has many calling LeBron a hypocrite.

In the tweets down below, you can see that Bron has been the subject of relentless criticism that doesn’t seem to be dying down. “What a thing to wake up and see. What a betrayal to all the Black Women who have had Lebron’s back. Wow. I’m actually speechless,” one person wrote. “This tweet is a DECISION OF SUPPORT for a man who shot Megan multiple times. The lack of value we are shown as Black Women has no depths.”

Other fans have stood up for LeBron, claiming that Twitter is not real life and that outside of the app, no one actually cares about him listening to Tory Lanez. Either way, people are upset right now, and Twitter is giving everyone a platform to voice that displeasure.

Give us your thoughts on the Tory album, in the comments below.

Blake Griffin Finds A New NBA Home

by

Blake Griffin’s career has been an interesting journey. Of course, Griffin made a name for himself playing with the Los Angeles Clippers during the Lob City era. He was teammates with Chris Paul, and while the team did not enjoy the success they were supposed to, there is no doubt that Griffin was able to come through with amazing highlights that fans will always remember.

Since that time, Griffin has made pit stops in Detroit and Brooklyn. His time in both of these cities were filled with uncertainty, and there is no doubt that he was upset with how little he was being played on the Nets.

Over the course of the offseason, Griffin has been looking for a new team, although he had yet to find one, until today. Now, according to Adrian Wojnarowski, Griffin will be signing a one-year deal with the Boston Celtics. This is huge news for Griffin, who is getting a fully guaranteed contract to play for one of the most historic teams in the league.

His role with the Celtics won’t be a massive one, but he will still be needed on defense. The team recently lost some players to injury, and Griffin will be able to step in an take a veteran’s approach to the game.

Stephen A. Smith Goes Off On Dolphins Over Tua Tagovailo Injury

by

Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins went down with a concussion last night, and it was a scary one, to say the least. Tagovailoa couldn’t get up after the hit and his fingers were frozen in a fencing position, which is typically a neurological response to trauma. It was frightening to watch, and fans are looking for answers.

Just last Sunday, Tua suffered what appeared to be a head injury, although the team cleared him to play. Many believe the Dolphins failed Tua and that this latest injury could lead to a significant issue later on down the road. With CTE and long-term concussion symptoms becoming a larger topic of conversation, the Dolphins’ malpractice is seen as unacceptable.

Many analysts throughout the media have been weighing in on this situation, including none other than Stephen A. Smith. As you can see in the tweet down below, Smith claimed that people need to be held accountable here, and that it should have been up to Tua’s teammates to pull him aside and tell him he is in no shape to play.

“Somebody needs to be fired! Now I don’t know who, but somebody got to go,” Smith said matter-of-factly.

This is easily the biggest story in the NFL right now, and if a deeper investigation is done, heads could roll.

Let us know who you think is at fault, in the comments down below.

Tua Tagovailoa Injury: NFLPA To Explore Legal Options

by

Tua Tagovailoa of the Miami Dolphins suffered a bad head injury last night and if you were watching the game on TV, then you would know that the aftermath was scary. He ended up going into a fencing position and was unable to get up on his own. Team doctors took him off on a stretcher where he was then brought to a nearby hospital.

Eventually, Tua was allowed out of the hospital and he had to wear a neckbrace while traveling home with his team. Of course, this injury is made worse by the face that he injured his head last week. The team insisted he was fine, but it is clear that he wasn’t.

Now, the NFLPA is looking into legal action, as this could be malpractice on the part of the Dolphins. The NFLPA is there to protect the players, and sometimes, these players need to be protected by their teams, who only operate within their best interests. Most of the time, that means compromising the health of players, which you never want to see.

It remains to be seen what the NFLPA’s options will be, especially since an investigation claims that Tua was placed through the proper protocols.

Trae Young Reveals How NBA Can Hold Refs Accountable

by

NBA officiating has been catching a lot of flack as of late. The calls being made around the NBA have been incredibly inconsistent and it is hard to tell what is truly considered a foul at times. With that being said, the players are looking for some kind of accountability that is very hard to find. The refs are rarely held to the fire, and the players want this to stop.

In fact, Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks recently took to Twitter where he delivered an interesting suggestion. As he explains, refs should be forced to do post-game interviews, just like the players are. Young thinks this will keep refs accountable for years to come.

“A lot of different, new rules to the game that are kinda “judgemental” calls, why can’t the media interview them postgame too?.?” Young asked. “Maybe discuss some of there biggest calls that may or may have not changed the outcome of that game. Instead of just making a call & moving on, now the call will mean something to THEM as well.”

It is an incredible suggestion, but it is unlikely the league actually goes through with it. Refs have been protected for years, and that is not about to change.

Tell us what you think of Young’s suggestion, in the comments down below.

Dwyane Wade Claps Back At Fan Who Told Him Not To Fly Commercial

by

Dwyane Wade has been enjoying his retirement quite a bit. After all, he gave a lot to the NBA over the years, and it makes sense that he would want to just cool out and relax with his family. In fact, Wade recently stepped down from his job with TNT so that he could focus on the various other facets of his life.

Wherever Wade goes, he experiences some fan love. For instance, Wade was recently traveling through an airport where he was stopped by a fan who wanted to take a picture. As you can see below, Wade is the woman’s husband’s favorite player, so she had to ask for the pic. Wade was appreciative, saying “thanks for bringing energy to my slow morning.

Unfortunately, one fan had to ruin the fun by noting that Wade is flying commercial like a regular person. In this fan’s eyes, Wade should be on a private jet like other rich people.

Wade thought this was a pretty ridiculous response, as he clapped back saying “It’s not cool to fly commercial!? The way my bank account is set up… It’s on me how I wanna spend my money.”

Wade clearly does not care for the snide remarks, especially from people who have no idea what they are talking about. Either way, it is clear that social media and movies have completely distorted the way we expect wealthy people to travel.

Tua Tagovailoa’s Devastating Injury Has NFL Fans Livid With The Dolphins

by

Tua Tagovailoa suffered a frightening head injury last night and it was one that certainly had fans praying for his health. Last week, Tua had been cleared after undergoing concussion protocol, however, there were many throughout the league who felt like this was a hasty decision that didn’t make a lot of sense.

These fears were ultimately confirmed last night as Tua was taken down to the ground by a Bengals lineman. It seemed like your typical hit, although Tagovailoa eventually went into a fencing position which is when your hands and fingers freeze in place. This is a neurological response to brain trauma, and the Amazon broadcast continued to show close-ups.

In the aftermath of this hit, Tua was taken to the hospital and was subsequently discharged. He was allowed to travel home with his teammates, although the Miami Dolphins are not looking good in the eyes of football fans and analysts right now.

Many took to Twitter to criticize the Dolphins, and for the most part, fans want to see some sort of punishment. “The Miami Dolphins should be severely punished the way they mishandled the Tua Tagovailoa injury. At a minimum, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell should take away a 1st Rd draft pick. A clear message needs to be sent to a rogue organization like the Dolphins. Someone could die!!” one fan wrote.

One reporter from Canada wrote “Anyone who didn’t think Tua Tagovailoa suffered a concussion last week was either incredibly naive, incompetent or just plain stupid. It was huge negligence on behalf of the Miami Dolphins which was confirmed tonight once & for all in front of everyone to see. Very, very sad.”

No matter what, this is a very sad situation, and we wish Tua nothing but the best, moving forward.

Tua Tagovailoa Suffers Frightening Head Injury

by

Last weekend, Tua Tagovailoa suffered what appeared to be a concussion against the Buffalo Bills. He fell to the ground on two separate occasions, and he was ultimately taken to the locker room for concussion protocols. Eventually, Tua was cleared and the Dolphins told the media that he had back and ankle issues.

On Thursday night, the Dolphins became the subject of intense scrutiny as Tua went down with another head injury, although this time it was gruesome. As you can see in the clip below, Tua’s hands and fingers were frozen in a fencing position which is typical of someone who just sustained a traumatic brain injury.

Tua was then taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center where he received treatment for his condition. The quarterback was unable to leave the field on his own, and he arrived at the hospital via ambulance.

Thankfully, Tua was released from the hospital and was able to walk under his own power. He is even flying home with the team, which is very good news.

Regardless, this is a horrible look for the Miami Dolphins franchise. They failed to protect their star quarterback, and this could very well have dire consequences for not just their season, but for Tua’s career as a whole.
