Football legend turned U.S. Senate candidate Herschel Walker is getting a big boost to his campaign. The Georgia Bulldog was recently joined on the trail by the Mama Grizzly.

Night To Shine was different this year. The annual prom-like bash run by the Tim Tebow Foundation for special needs guests had to go virtual due to COVID-19. But, the party went on as best as possible thanks to Tebow and several of his friends, many of them from the world of sports.

For the seventh straight year, the Tim Tebow Foundation will be holding its annual Night to Shine event. Night to Shine is an amazing prom-like party for people with special needs. This year, however, Night to Shine will be unlike any of the other editions.

The insane year that was 2020 is finally gone. People are hoping for much better times ahead. But, even though 2021 is here, some things look the same.

Kneel down, Chicago Bears! Isn’t that how the fight song goes? Well, that’s how it should be sung in 2020. The Bears continue their losing ways but keep putting up Ws for their wokeness.

Hall of Fame driver Walker Evans received a special birthday wish this week from former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin. On Instagram, Palin wrote: “Happy Birthday to my BFF! Life is a million times better since The Legend Walker Evans entered mine!’.

In Barack Obama’s soon to be released memoir “A Promised Land”, the former president makes multiple references to sports. Obama mentions baseball great Jackie Robinson, he touches upon his own love of basketball, and he speaks of never learning to sail “despite having grown up in Hawaii”. But, this book clearly shows us that Obama’s favorite pastime may just be bashing President Trump and former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin.

Two of the most memorable postseason home runs in New York Mets history came off the bats of Lenny Dykstra and Todd Pratt, respectively.

President Trump is running against Joe Biden, right? Technically, yes. However, there’s a growing sentiment out there, that while the former Vice President is indeed on top of the Democrat ticket, it’s actually his running mate who’s running the show.

This week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin posted a really cool picture on Instagram, taking us back in time to the NBA we once knew and loved. The pic is from 1996 and features Palin with her sister Molly, having a blast at a Seattle SuperSonics game.

An overwhelming amount of pro athletes, current and former, have voiced support for black Americans in recent days. But what about Jewish Americans? That topic ran wild on social media this week after Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeSean Jackson shared some anti-Semitic posts.

In the golden days of pro wrestling, managers were just as popular as the men and women they represented. Colorful characters like Bobby ‘The Brain’ Heenan, Captain Lou Albano, Jimmy Hart, Slick, Miss Elizabeth, and ‘Classy’ Freddie Blassie were all the rage.

The 2020 Special Olympics Summer Games were canceled due to COVID-19. Athletes are understandably disappointed, but many are keeping a positive outlook with their sights set on 2021.

There are 30 teams in Major League Baseball and 30 clubs in the NBA. The NHL skates 31 squads, while the NFL has 32 franchises. That’s 123 professional teams in the four major sports. A grand total of one recognized Flag Day on social media. One. Uno. Just one.

Elton John gave us the hit song “I’m Still Standing”. Another John is taking those words to heart in these most turbulent of times.

Dale Murphy was a two-time National League Most Valuable Player. Last week he played the role of another kind of MVP, a most vocal progressive. The former Atlanta Braves star is apparently a left-wing activist nowadays and while most of his work seems to be done behind the keyboard, Murphy has some family right in the thick of the chaos.

Bored during quarantine time? Lenny Dykstra to the rescue. The former MLB star is celebrating two years being arrest-free and he wants you to join the party. Dykstra talked about the big anniversary for weeks on social media, then commemorated the milestone with a raucous appearance on the popular podcast, Crime In Sports.

Right now, he says it’s just a hobby, but clearly Brett Roenick is taking his music very seriously. Something to do during quarantine has turned into something to be proud of.

After a heartbreaking defeat just days earlier, Chase Elliott rebounded like a true champion. The gut-wrenching losses were starting to pile up for the NASCAR star, but on Thursday night, Elliott grabbed his first Cup win of the season.

In one of the worst written pieces in the history of the world, a ‘journalist’ named Judy Hopkins took some strange shots at former MLB outfielder Lenny Dykstra. The Mets and Phillies star fired back with gusto.

From ring girl to in-ring performer, Michelle Blanchard has quite the resume in combat sports. The dynamic athlete is very capable when it comes to defending herself and defending our Second Amendment.

Many NHL fans miss their teams. It’s been two months since the league suspended its season due to the Chinese coronavirus. Hockey lovers feel the void. Now, imagine being a fan of the Quebec Nordiques. The current stoppage of play is nothing to them. Fans in Quebec City haven’t seen their team skate in a quarter-century. If you ask former players, it is time for that to change.

Much like the Mets in New York and the White Sox in Chicago, the Quebec Nordiques were always the red-headed stepchild in their own home.

Ronda Rousey sure gets a lot of attention from the comfort of her own home. The WWE star is a polarizing figure these days. But, while detractors take cheap shots at Rousey via social media, The Baddest Woman On The Planet fights back with facts.

It’s hard to imagine the 1986 New York Mets confined in any way, shape or form, but just like most Americans, the wild boys of baseball are currently safe at home like never before.

We know. You say it’s ‘fake’. Not to Brock Lesnar’s face, but with your fantasy football pals you say these things. You say it’s not a ‘sport’. You say this, even though decorated Olympians and professional athletes from other sports are all over the roster. You say “I will never watch that”. Well, if you’re a member of this crowd, perhaps you won’t budge.

Sad news for football players and fans alike, as the XFL made the announcement no one wanted to hear on Friday. Pointing to the virus pandemic, the league suspended all operations and laid off virtually all of its employees.

In a tweet referencing the Bible, and then in another more fiery tweet, Ronda Rousey made it perfectly clear about where she stands when it comes to the idea of staying home during the current pandemic. The WWE star did not mince words.

Staying home with family and staying safe during this time has created many special memories. Moms, dads, and kids are eating together, playing games, watching movies, and just simply enjoying the company of loved ones.

When the announcement came two years ago that the XFL would be up and running in 2020, many were excited about the prospect of having an alternative to NFL football. After years of ridiculous rule changes, Vick, Kaepernick, and the very unlikable Roger Goodell, countless Americans had had enough with the league they loved for so long.

Tim Tebow is no stranger to beating the odds. The southpaw slinger thrilled Florida Gators fans for four glorious seasons, arguably finishing his career as the greatest college football player of all-time.

The New England Patriots and Los Angeles Rams will play for it all in Super Bowl LIII Sunday, but to many, the greatest NFL team of them all is still the group that cruised to victory back in Super Bowl XX.

The man they call “The Showoff” is trying his hand in show biz. WWE superstar Dolph Ziggler, known for taking down his opponents, is now doing stand-up. Just like he approaches his work in the ring, Ziggler is taking this challenge very seriously.

Things are going pretty well for Tim Tebow. Not only has the former NFL quarterback/turned baseball player been invited to the New York Mets Major League spring training, but the Florida Gators great is also engaged to be married.

On Sunday at Soldier Field, Cody Parkey lined up for the biggest kick of his life. With the Chicago Bears trailing by a single point, Parkey had a chance to give his team the lead with just seconds left on the clock.
