data-mm-id=”_bz8btye0y”>On Sunday evening, Fenerbahce beat Trabzonspor 3-2 in a stunning late victory in the Turkish Super Lig. After the match, as Fenerbahce celebrated, Trabzonspor fans rushed the field and attempted to attack the players. In the scrum, Fenerbahce's Michy Batshuayi karate kicked a fan. Here's video of how it unfolded:WILD & SCARY SCENES in Turkey as Trabzonspor fans storm the field, trying to attack Fenerbahce players celebrating a 3-2 comeback win. 😳Match-winner Michy Batshuayi also on-target with a karate kick at 0:41 as Fener players forced to defend themselves.pic.twitter.com/XNqZtLSUKe— Men in Blazers (@MenInBlazers) March 17, 2024And here's a closeup look of Batshuayi's kick:Batshuayi napıyor #TSGVfB pic.twitter.com/XL5Hxl60aS— Samed BuÄŸra BerberoÄŸlu (@sbaumgerda) March 17, 2024Bit of a spinning back kick there. He sort of pulled it off, but really it looked more like one of Mac's karate moves:It was an absolute mess of a match, with nine yellow cards handed out. Fenerbahce led 2-0 at halftime, before Trabzonspor scored twice to tie it. Then, as fate would have it, Batshuayi scored in the 87th minute to secure the win for Fenerbahce. The win put Fenerbahce two points behind Super Lig leaders Galatasaray, while Trabzonspor sits third a whopping 30 points behind Fenerbahce. Maybe the fans had a bit of pent up anger from having to stare up at their rivals all season and that led to this explosion.

data-mm-id=”_jqxh8ju6s”>The NBA has introduced coach's challenges for the first time this season. So far, it hasn't gone terribly well, as they've run into the same problem that the NFL has — referees are extremely reluctant to overturn the initial call on the floor, even in the face of overwhelming evidence. I wrote about this problem back in November. Things haven't changed. Calls are rarely being overturned and coaches are getting aggravated. It's even getting Brad Stevens mad, and he's as even-keeled as they come. On Sunday, the Celtics played the Knicks. During the contest, Julius Randle made a bucket over Grant Williams, who was called for a blocking foul on the play. Stevens challenged the blocking foul with his coach's challenge and was right…
data-mm-id=”_bqz9d9nun”>James Lipton has died at the age of 93. The New York Times adroitly states he plumbed the dramatic arts during a 23-year run as host of Inside the Actors Studio. He was multitalented and ever-curious. The biggest names in show business came to his intentionally-spartan studio and sat as equals. Substance was celebrated over celebrity, and the human behind the marquee name was always the favored guest. Lipton was part teacher, part host, and fully in control of the little world he created, which merged art and life into one. He was also a visionary ahead of his time, creating content that would become intensely in-demand as the decades passed, demand oftentimes created by those who cribbed heavily off his playbook. Inside the Actors Studio was an incubator for cr…

UFC 249 took place in Jacksonville, Florida at VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena. The event was held without any fans in attendance. Those who were lucky enough to get through the doors – those working and fighting – were asked to sign a waiver saying they would not criticize the UFC's coronavirus protocols. That included media members. Today, the MMA Journalists Association put out a statement advising members not to sign. Via MMAJA.com:”It is our opinion that this document is overly broad and overreaching in its scope, and may interfere with the ability of media members to do their jobs fully and effectively.

data-mm-id=”_nlwtoclvu”>Tacko Fall has become something of a cult figure in the NBA despite scoring 19 total points in his career thus far. The height, of course, is the big draw. It's impossible to ignore a 7-foot-5 man, especially when he's interviewed by a 4-foot-11 person. But it's his lighthearted personality that plays the biggest role in fans' infatuation with him. Like Shaq, he's not only an oversized human, he's also an oversized kid at heart. So Tacko, if you read this, have some fun and admit this shot of yours is terrible.

Here's what Blank had to say:Falcons owner Arthur Blank on a media call, asked specifically what he wants fixed: "It's called lack of winning."

data-mm-id=”_vyh4gpz5p”>We might see Patrick Peterson in a uniform other than Cardinal red in 2021. The former No. 5 overall pick is an unrestricted free agent this offseason and the latest reports suggest Arizona will not be looking to retain his services. Per source, the Arizona Cardinals and former All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson are parting ways barring a significant change in stances. Peterson, 30, has enjoyed eight Pro Bowl and three First-Team All-Pro campaigns since being selected No. 5 overall in the 2011 Draft.— Matt Verderame (@MattVerderame) February 8, 2021A few years ago, this would have been very exciting news and most of the league's teams would be very interested in adding his skill set. Nowadays? Not so much. Peterson, at 31 years-old, is no longer the athl…
data-mm-id=”_e1gexhbq2″>The Los Angeles Lakers have spent most of the past two seasons floundering near the bottom of the Western Conference. A few weeks ago at the trade deadline, general manager Rob Pelinka transformed the roster with several trades that appear to have turned the season around. On Sunday, the Lakers erased a 27-point deficit to beat the Dallas Mavericks on the road. The rest of the NBA may have to come to grips with the fact that LeBron James and his new-look supporting cast are dangerous. Even with the Lakers' top trade deadline acquisition, D'Angelo Russell, out with an ankle injury, the Lakers took down Luka Doncic, Kyrie Irving & Co. after falling behind 48-21 midway through the second quarter. Recent acquisition Jarred Vanderbilt shined, scoring 15…

He looked awful during a 31-17 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. More concerning, late in the game Purdy was hit and slammed his head into the turf but no one pulled him off the field. He stayed in for the remainder of the game. The play in question game with 1:59 left in the game. Purdy dropped back and was intercepted by Bengals safety Dax Hill. Purdy was hit after throwing by D.J. Reader and that drew a roughing the passer penalty, negating the interception. On the hit, Purdy went down hard and slammed the back of his helmet on the turf. He immediately grabbed the top of his head. Watch:49ers QB Brock Purdy grabb…
