. Every NBA fan knows former Timberwolves star Kevin Garnett was a legendary trash-talker. However, there was a time when that trash talk came back to burn him.
Appearing on Wednesday’s
Jimmy Kimmel Live! Garnett revealed that when he was 19 years old, his teammate J.R. Rider got off to a hot start during a game against the Bulls and that got Garnett chirping at Michael Jordan. Garnett says he’s paid for it ever since.
“I was playing great, probably the best I ever played in my life at this point, and it’s against the Bulls and J.R. Rider is having an unbelievable game, too, and I’m feeling 19,” Garnett explained to Kimmel. “I’m like, ‘Yeah, keep going, you’re killing him. Woo!’ In the short form of it, I woke up a sleeping dog. … It just turned bad, Jimmy, it turned really bad. And it turned bad quick.”

When Matthew Stafford was traded to the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for Jared Goff and three draft picks, everyone had takes. Perhaps none was stronger than Michael Silver s. In a column on NFL.com, Silver defended Goff, while also taking some shots at Troy Aikman. That has ignited a feud that has us running to grab popcorn.
Here s what Silver said in his column that ruffled feathers: Routinely trashed this season on FOX telecasts, specifically those with Troy Aikman as the lead analyst, Goff could reasonably assume that McVay s words about his quarterback s play in network production meetings were far from glowing.

Quarterback Jared Goff is on his way to the Detroit Lions after the Los Angeles Rams traded him and three draft picks (including two future first-round selections) in exchange for Matthew Stafford.
Though Goff is going to a losing team, he apparently knew that he’d fallen out of favor with Rams coach Sean McVay and was ready to move on. And if he wasn’t certain, Troy Aikman’s commentary whenever he called a Rams game this past season probably gave him an idea. A piece by NFL.com’s Michael Silver indicates that the Fox analyst was influenced by what he heard from McVay during production meetings.
