Chris Johnson Nearly Jukes Redskins Rookie Out of his Cleats.

A preseason game is only as valuable as the amount of snaps the starters play. If I'm a redskins fan, I wouldn't push the panic button just yet, but if you're a Titans fan it's got to be good to seen Chris johnson show flashes of his former self.

12 Year Old Loses Final Jeopardy Due To a Spelling Error

Twelve year old Thomas Hurley won’t win any spelling bees anytime soon. Hurley came into the Final Jeopardy portion of the show in second place before he was asked which document Abraham Lincoln said was a “fit and necessary war measure”

The correct answer is the Emancipation Proclamation, but there’s where things went wrong for Hurley. Hurley knew the correct answer,but badly mangled the spelling of the famous document spelling it Emanciptation Proclamation.

Trebek informed the pre-teen that he would not receive credit for his answer because he “spelled it badly”. When Trebek moved on to the last contestant, he was sure to point out that not only did the young man have the correct answer, but he also spelled it correctly.

Despite airing last Wednesday, the outrage has grown on social media, with viewers flooding the show's Facebook page. Fueling the fire, Hurley’s father called host Alex Trebek “smug". His son Thomas also expressed his displeasure with the ruling. "I was pretty upset that I was cheated out of the final `Jeopardy!' question. It was just a spelling error,'' said the Newtown Middle School student, who won $2,000 as the second runner-up.

My Take:The kid needs to suck it up, I’m pretty sure the rules were spelled out(no pun intended) in advance. Kids today are so coddled, they believe that they should be the exception to the rules. It’s a good life lesson. Besides the kid in first place had 36,000 to Hurley’s 9,000, making it virtually impossible for Hurley to catch up. Suck it up kid this to shall pass.



Mark Cuban Releases Superman Themed Pitch Video Mavericks Used To Woo Dwight Howard (VIDEO)

Just when you thought the Dwight Howard saga was over, Mark Cuban released this little nugget on his website this A.M.  Give Cuban points for creativity. The video, part goofy, almost inspiring, plays on Howard's affinity for the man of steel.

We see a young Howard sent to earth via space shuttle, eventually growing into the next NBA superstar. The comic book styled video uses real play-by-play calls and pictures of Howard, Cuban and Dirk Nowitzki celebrating back-to-back titles.

It's a fun video despite the sycophantic ego stroking.

Jadeveon Clowney Flips Blocking Sled in Practice (VIDEO)

John Wall says video of his Full court self alley-oop is real.

John Wall appeared as a guest on the Dan Patrick Show this morning. After asking a few perfunctory questions  guest host Chris Mannix asked Wall if the above video was real. 

" Yeah, it's real you just have to throw the ball real high, it's not something you can do on the first try but I can do it."

The video looks fake to me, however I took another look at it after the Wall interview and if you follow the path of the ball it's possible that the video is real. Also Wall would look silly if he lied, and it's always a mistake to underestimate how athletic these guys are.

More concerning than the video claim is Wall's claim that he's the best point guard in the NBA.(also in the interview) He'd be better served working on his jumper this offseason than showboat exhibitions like this.

Kansas City Cheif Offensive Coordinator Calls Alex Smith The Best QB In The NFL

“Ultimately, every team has to have a quarterback,” Chiefs offensive coordinator Doug Pederson said, via Randy Covitz of the Kansas City Star. “I think we have the best in the league.”

“There are a lot of great ones,” Pederson said, “but over time, Alex has proven he can get it done. He’s a sharp guy, he brings a wealth of knowledge, he’s experienced, he’s a proven winner the last couple of years, and he needs a team to embrace him.”
