data-mm-id=”_82wem60kj”>Mina Kimes appeared on the latest episode of The Bill Simmons Podcast. Kimes threw out the idea of playing the NFL season in New Zealand. When asked by Simmons if that was something she had heard, she laughed and said it was "reckless speculation." The thing is, that would be the NFL's best chance to have a normal, full season, but obviously it is an impossibility.Mina Kimes suggested ("reckless speculation') on Bill Simmons last night that the NFL should play its games this season in New ZealandThey SHOULD. Games are for TV anyway, so location doesn't matterNZ could be the NFL's Fight IslandThe NBA should be playing in the Azores— Eric Jackson (@ericjackson) July 10, 2020New Zealand has crushed COVID-19 so there is no way th…

data-mm-id=”_0xf83y7cq”>Week 10 of the fantasy football season is here. There was much rejoicing. For some of us. Either way, injuries and COVID-19 designations are making rosters thin across all leagues. So without further ado, the best fantasy football waiver wire pickups for Week 10. (All stats via ESPN PPR leagues)Jakobi Meyers / Elsa/Getty ImagesJakobi Meyers, WR, New England Patriots (Available in 89 Percent of ESPN Leagues)Meyers didn't play at all until N'Keal Harry and Julian Edelman got hurt. Suddenly, he's the No. 1 option. Monday night proved Meyers has a great rapport with Cam Newton already and the Pats QB will look his way more often than not. He might not top his 12-catch, 169-yard night against the Jets that gave him 28.9 fantasy points at any point this…

data-mm-id=”_gr22ti08f”>King Charles III had his coronation on Saturday morning. It was a star-studden affair that included everyone from Prince Harry to Katy Perry, but was the Grim Reaper in attendance? Some viewers who tuned in early caught a dark, cloaked figure walking past an open door in Westminster Abbey shortly after 5am Eastern Standard Time. Initial guesses were that this was the Grim Reaper. Anyone else just notice the Grim Reaper at Westminster Abbey? 👀#Coronation pic.twitter.com/77s4XIY17i— Joe (@realjoegreeeen) May 6, 2023Moment 'Grim Reaper' appears at Westminster Abbey during the coronation pic.twitter.com/udmkkRfIHp— The Sun (@TheSun) May 6, 2023But was it?

data-mm-id=”_ha420t3cn”>Taylor Swift took the NFL world by storm on Sunday when she attended the Kansas City Chiefs-Chicago Bears game, sitting in the Kelce family suite alongside Travis Kelce's mother. Everyone directly or tangentially involved in football is falling over themselves to comment on the situation and farm that sweet, sweet Swiftie engagement. Adam Schefter was earnestly reporting on Kelce and Swift leaving yesterday's game together like it was a crucial scoop. The one person everybody universally expected to not have anything to say on the matter is probably Bill Belichick, famous for his curmudgeonly answers when asked any question that does not involve the minutiae of the sport. Sure, he complimented Swift in an interview before and complimented her ability t…

data-mm-id=”_enswkmgh1″>A big move may soon rock the golf world. According to Alan Shipnuck of the Firepit Collective, Phil Mickelson has been telling people Jon Rahm is leaving the PGA to sign with LIV Golf. This would be a huge development. In recent days Phil has been telling folks that Rahm signing with LIV is a done deal. (They share the same agent.) But we all know Mickelson is a relentless salesman/bullshit artist, so take that for what it's worth.— Alan Shipnuck (@AlanShipnuck) November 22, 2023Rahm is a two-time major winner having taken the U.S. Open in 2021 and he emerged victorious at the Masters in 2023. He's also currently the No. 3 ranked golfer in the world behind Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy. Rahm has been No. 1 on six separate occasions and for 52 we…
