data-mm-id=”_mld189qto”>Perhaps Bill Belichick was feeling nostalgic today. Or maybe he's highly superstitious. Either way, he's clearly not the type of person who just throws away old clothes, especially those possibly touched by Tom Brady. Belichick appeared at a New England Patriots video press conference today wearing a cutoff sweatshirt that looks like it's from the Pats' first Super Bowl run. It has holes around the entire neckline, and let's just say Brady wouldn't be impressed if the two were set up on a blind date today. Not with that U-neck, wrinkled shirt. Incredible. pic.twitter.com/GnrjfHyaIY— Michael Hurley (@michaelFhurley) September 23, 2020The best thing about this is Belichick has an endless supply of brand new, free Patriots sweatshirt…

data-mm-id=”_5ev7bcmpw”>There's always a lot going on that we don't have time to get to on the blog, but there's something specific going on behind the scenes right now that we did feel we should tell you about. On Monday of this week we received – from a source – a collection of confidential documents related to Deflategate. We believe those documents are authentic, they're real and they are super damning, you guys.When we received these documents, that both exist and are 100 percent real, myself and my editors were all in our various homes across the country preparing to write about various people in sports and pop culture that we consider "a snack." So we made the obvious decision to send the actual, original, physical documents around the country Siste…

data-mm-id=”_rjdcz7qyh”>In what is surely the best thing to appear on the internet this week, GQ's Danielle Cohen dug into the eating and recreational habits of Fall Out Boy's Pete Wentz, who revealed that he's on a bit of a tennis kick. And by tennis kick I mean he's spending up to six hours at a time playing anyone in his general field of vision, from famous people like Donald Faison and Zack Braff to normies who are thnkfl fr th mmrs. Meaning that, at any given time, the answer to the eternal question where is your boy tonight is: on the public courts, knowing full well they are the last good thing about this part of town. It starts with me being like, "I have a hard out at 11," Wentz told GQ. "And then I'm like, “Well…I guess we could pl…

data-mm-id=”_kn437rrwo”>The Los Angeles Clippers bowed out of the playoffs early (yet again) on Tuesday night and did so (yet again) without their two highest-paid players. Paul George and Kawhi Leonard both missed the team's season-ending, 136-130, loss to the Phoenix Suns in what has long been a familiar problem for this L.A. squad. Despite their meticulous dedication to load management during the regular season George still got hurt before the playoffs started and Leonard ended up missing the final two games of the series because he tore the meniscus in his right knee. Clippers star Kawhi Leonard has been diagnosed with a torn meniscus in his right knee, sources tell @TheAthletic @Stadium. Leonard averaged 35 points in first two games of this postseason vs. Suns before the meni…

data-mm-id=”_10ouer1s0″>Shannon Sharpe wrapped up his second week on First Take talking all things football today, and there was much to discuss. Including Kansas City Chiefs receiver Kadarius Toney having the audacity to troll the his former team, the New York Giants, after a Sunday night loss knowing full well he handed the Detroit Lions a victory a few days prior. During a back-and-forth, Sharpe called his debate partner, Stephen A. Smith, "Skip" once again. Just magnificent television. Shannon Sharpe calls Stephen A. Smith "Skip" AGAIN for just the third time in a week on First Take 🤣 pic.twitter.com/albYipjb7j— ClutchPoints (@ClutchPoints) September 12, 2023Smith logged on to tell folks to calm the f–k down even though not a single person is work…
