data-mm-id=”_n2kskmi8a”>Jon Jones announced he has relinquished the UFC light heavyweight title and is stepping away from mixed martial arts. At least for now. Jones went on to say the UFC refuses to renegotiate his salary, so he won't be fighting anymore. Perhaps more importantly, he said if he comes back, he will return as a heavyweight. Here's the Twitter thread where he announced he was stepping away:Just got off the phone with @Ufc, today I confirm that I’m vacating the light heavyweight championship. It’s officially up for grabs. It’s been an amazing journey, sincere thank you to all my competition, Ufc and most importantly you fans.— BONY (@JonnyBones) August 17, 2020The last I spoke with @UFC about my salary there was no negotiating. If that ever changes, i’…

data-mm-id=”_z4eig3zmm”>Love Actually is a movie that many people have seen, but have those people ever noticed that some of the people in Love Actually have been in other movies, too? It's something I was thinking about when I recently saw Love Actually for the first time this week.No, no, no. It wasn't the first time I had ever seen Love Actually. Monday night was the first time I had watched Love Actually this week. I saw parts of it over the weekend and watched it in full earlier last week. I also saw it a few more times this month and a couple times in November. I had also watched it a similar number of times during previous holiday seasons. I have the incredibly sad receipts. That's why I'm confident when I say that Love Actually is bad and loving Love Actuall…

data-mm-id=”_sutiu8g20″>The Buffalo Bills began their mandatory minicamp on Tuesday with glaring absence: star receiver Stefon Diggs. While Diggs not being there was a huge topic of conversation, no one is saying what the problem is. It apparently has nothing to do with money or a new contract, so we have no idea what it could be. Bills head coach Sean McDermott said he was "very concerned" that Diggs wasn't there on Tuesday:Stefon Diggs is NOT here at #Bills mandatory minicamp. Sean McDermott says he’s ‘very concerned’ but would not go anymore into his absence. #BillsMafia @BuffaloPlus— Dan Fetes (@danfetes) June 13, 2023ESPN's Josina Anderson is reporting that Diggs' absence isn't about money:2/2 I’m told the nature of the private talks is “n…

data-mm-id=”_g6slhogp4″>The Los Angeles Chargers and Las Vegas Raiders played a game that was far closer than it should have been on Sunday at SoFi Stadium. While the game on the field wasn't a blowout, a fight between fans in the stands was. A Chargers fan was caught on camera beating up a Raiders fan. Obviously we're not privy to the words spoken between these two gentlemen, but a Chargers fan in a Justin Herbert jersey and a Raiders fan in a Howie Long jersey stood in the stands jawing at each other. As Long jersey guy moved up the stairs to get closer, Herbert jersey landed a hard right hand on his temple, flooring him. When the Raiders fan got to his feet he was woozy and the Bolts backer landed a glancing left hand, then shoved him down. Then Long jersey tried to get to…

data-mm-id=”_t1vo7l2ne”>There's been much discussion about Sunday's heavyweight fight between the Philadelphia Eagles and Buffalo Bills. Most of the talk has been about the questionable officiating and Sean McDermott's decision-making. During a radio interview on Wednesday, Jason Kelce stoked the fire further by calling out a Buffalo Bill for playing dirty and trying to hurt his Eagles teammate. At one point during the game the Eagles lined up for their signature QB sneak known as the Brotherly Shove or Tush Push, depending on what circles you run in. Before they could get the snap off, Bills DT Jordan Phillips blew up Eagles guard Cam Jurgens. Phillips was obviously flagged for offsides on the play and gave Philly the first down they were looking for but Kelce thinks th…

data-mm-id=”_0a0rdnltt”>Someone had to take the fall for the San Francisco 49ers' blown lead in Super Bowl LVIII and yesterday proved it would be defensive coordinator Steve Wilks. Kyle Shanahan announced on a conference call yesterday that he had fired Wilks and the reception to that decision has been… mixed, to say the least. San Fran's defense is loaded with talent yet was prone to truly mind-boggling performances and failures. The first half of the NFC Championship Game against the Detroit Lions is a tremendous example of how all that talent can be wasted. On the other hand, the second half of the NFC Championship Game showed how dangerous the unit can be when everything is clicking. Wilks was responsible for both halves so you can see how folks might be split on his di…
