data-mm-id=”_gfgt27l7c”>ESPN has been at the forefront of broadcasting sports content during this national shutdown when no sports are being played. Whether it was moving up the release of the Michael Jordan documentary The Last Dance or leading the broadcast of the NFL Draft, the Worldwide Leader has really stepped it up over the last month. With all due respect to what ESPN has done so far, nothing has stunned me more than the 59-second preview they just released ahead of their documentary on Alex Smith. For those who don't know, Smith suffered a horrific leg injury during the 2018 NFL season while playing quarterback for the Washington Redskins. The injury was so devastating, there were rumors that he may lose the leg completely. The fact that no follow-up images or videos of S…

data-mm-id=”_8ird3pflt”>There's a new animated series on Netflix called Bread Barbershop. It's about a barbershop operated by a piece of bread. Haircuts are basically cake decorating as his main customers appear to be baked goods. The protagonist's name appears to be Bread Pitt. Seriously. Look. Bread. Pitt.Bread. Pitt. / Bread Barbershop is a Korean animation which has gained a large online following since its 2019 debut. It came to Europe this spring and just showed up on American Netflix in the last few days. If this sounds a little vague, that's because there is, like, nothing in English about the show. IMDB has no information beyond the title of the first episode and that there is apparently a character named Chip, who we can probably assume is a chip of some s…

data-mm-id=”_yaryryaya”>San Diego Padres general manager A.J. Preller continued his wild acquisition spree on Monday, signing Korean Baseball star Ha-seong Kim. The 25-year-old infielder starred for the Kiwoom Heroes in 2020 and is an absolute blast to watch. His prodigious power and MLB-ready bat flips will fit right in on the Padres. Kim blasted 30 home runs, had 109 RBIs, scored 111 runs and stole 23 bases while hitting .306 in 2020. He immediately became one of the best free agent infielders available when Kiwoom posted him for MLB teams to negotiate with. The Padres landed him, adding another exciting player to what was baseballs most fun team to watch last season. As stated, Kim is really fun. Check out all 30 of his home runs from 2020 below. His home run swing is thing of beaut…

data-mm-id=”_dsf236xyh”>On Tuesday night, baseball fans got the full Shohei Ohtani experience. The Los Angeles Angels superstar threw 6.1 innings, allowing one run on four hits while striking out 10 while going 3-for-3 at the plate with two solo home runs. At this point, five-plus seasons into his MLB career, I feel confident in saying Shohei Ohtani is the greatest baseball player of all time. In the 147-year history of Major League Baseball we have simply never seen anyone do what Ohtani is doing. The man hits majestic 450-foot home runs, then goes out and hits triple digits with his fastball. Oh, did we mention he's also one of baseball's fastest players? Now before you jump down my throat, let me clarify something: I'm not saying Ohtani will have the greatest career e…

data-mm-id=”_333g3q4eh”>The Taylor Swift phenomena has deeply permeated the fabric of NFL coverage over the last two and a half weeks. If you tuned into Sunday night's New York Jets-Kansas City Chiefs game, for example, you got at least a dozen shots of Swift in a booth watching her paramour Travis Kelce surrounded by similarly famous individuals. Many feel the league and its broadcast partners have gone a bit overboard leaning into the Swiftie craze and the extent to which they do so has already launched conspiracy theories and accusations of "bad looks." On Wednesday's episode of the New Heights podcast, Jason Kelce asked his brother Travis about the coverage Swift has been getting during NFL games. The Chiefs tight end said they were going overboard "a littl…

data-mm-id=”_2f0dsekvv”>Joe Mixon scored a touchdown early in the second quarter of the Cincinnati Bengals –Jacksonville Jaguars game on Monday Night Football in Week 13. Mixon was able to keep his legs churning and his knees off the ground as he tied the game and then celebrated with a nice choreographed dance with multiple teammates. And at the end of the celebration, as everyone headed back to the bench, tackle Orlando Brown Jr. shouted "jackass" into the camera. "JACKASS" 😂 pic.twitter.com/VATEZgFnOl— CJ Fogler account may or may not be notable (@cjzero) December 5, 2023It is unclear who Brown was calling a jackass, but you really have to wonder if they were watching. You would think if a football player was going to call someone a jackass during…
