Patrick Mahomes is having a rough time against the Miami Dolphins. Mahomes has thrown two interceptions and he took the worst sack we ve seen in the NFL in more than two decades. All of that happened in the first quarter.
Here s Mahomes taking a 30-yard sack on third-and-12. The Chiefs would not go for it on fourth.

Sure, this kind of thing probably happens all the time in college or high school football, but how often does something this hilarious and embarrassing take place in the NFL? Well, the last person to do it is Stoney Case with the Arizona Cardinals in 1997.
Auburn Fired Gus Malzahn and Triggered His Massive Buyout in the Middle of the Pandemic

Gus Malzahn has been fired by Auburn, according to Brett McMurphy. While Malzahn and the Tigers went 6-4 this year, by far the worst season for Auburn in the Malzahn era, this is still a pretty big shock. Not because he s been so successful lately, but because of how much damn money this is going to cost Auburn.
Malzahn was the seventh highest paid head coach in the power five conferences this season. He signed a seven-year, $49 million contract extension late in the 2017 season. His current buyout is around $21.45 million. That is a hefty chunk of change anytime, but during a pandemic, it seems extra crazy. Especially considering the Auburn athletics department just cut their budget by 10% in 2019. That was before COVID-19.

It is with a heavy heart that I must announce the Nets are at it again. Specifically, Kyrie Irving, who thought he could just release statements to the press rather than do the same media availability as everyone else in the league. The NBA fined Irving and the Nets $25,000 each for this stunt. Kyrie, in the most Kyrie way possible, responded to the fine on Instagram by quoting Malcolm X and saying this: I pray we utilize the “fine money” for the marginalized communities in need, especially seeing where our world is presently. (I am) I am here for Peace, Love, and Greatness. So stop distracting me and my team, and appreciate the Art. We move different over here.
