Ain’t nobody feeling “confident” after gluing on their hair lol. Just let it go. Shave it off. How about we normalize that?
Let’s normalize this. Men should be able to make changes that will help them feel confident, too.
No. It took balls for @kylegoon to ask a question he knew the coach wouldn't like but asked it fairly. John also has the right to answer how he likes and folks can judge accordingly. That's how this works. This is objectively good & correct journalism. Well done.
I don't know Kyle personally nor do I have a problem with him. We've read/shared his stuff before on the show. That said, I find this frustrating. A reporter with a divisive political agenda is granted direct access to the head coach in a press conference setting. I can count…
I hope Bleacher Report got the clicks they wanted from this desperate clickbait attempt

Remember when Hollywood used to release sports movies, like, all the time? That was cool. “Happy Gilmore 2” had me looking back at 1996 when the original came out. Take me back!
Wrong. It was Friday November 19, 2004. Malice at the Palace.
No kid remembers their best day in front of the TV.
People are saying it’s actually nuts. It’s driving people crazy
There's a new Marvel out that's supposed to be nuts
Spent a bit of time at the WNBA All-Star Game chatting with a new basketball fan: Harvard economist Claudia Goldin, who has been advising the WNBA players in their labor negotiations, part of a more robust strategy this year from the union si.com/wnba/wnba-play…
When I came across this photo today, I was immediately floored. But I couldn't figure out what was happening: How was the image being reflected like that? To find out, I went straight to the source: the man behind the camera. His answer blew me away. 👇 💬 Sean Gardner, Getty…
