Of course, the 49ers' 27-0 first half has cheeseheads everywhere watching America's Got Talent. But the story of this football Sunday has been the hat worn by Rob Lowe. The snazzy actor showed up in San Francisco as either the NFL's biggest fan or a backup referee. And it's not just the hat. It's the tweets that came as a result of the hat I didn't know they sold.hey Rob Lowe which team are you rooting for“uhhh… the NFL" pic.twitter.com/BAdlRyk6gD— Rodger Sherman (@rodger) January 20, 2020Some people cheer for a team.

data-mm-id=”_qcaptolem”>UFC 249 has officially been canceled. Despite Dana White insisting the event would take place, it's now completely off. Oh, and his dreams of holding weekly fights on a private island seem to be over too, as all future UFC events are now on hold. BREAKING: UFC 249 has been canceled. All UFC events postponed indefinitely, due to COVID-19. Dana White says he was ready to promote the event but things were taken out of his control. Much, much more on this to come.— Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) April 9, 2020Of course this is the result here. We've been saying for a while that UFC 249 should have been canceled as soon as Khabib Nurmagomedov pulled out. After that it absolutely didn't make sense for the card to happen. But White kept pushing forward d…

data-mm-id=”_upuitu7eg”>Will Fuller is in the middle of his best NFL season and the 26-year-old wide receiver was posed to cash in big time this offseason. That all got blown up on Monday, as the Houston Texans wideout announced he had been suspended six games by the NFL for testing positive for a banned substance. His season is officially over and his chances for a big contract are gone. Fuller made the announcement on Instagram and claimed a medical professional prescribed him something he thought was permitted under the NFL's PED policy. It turns out he was wrong. So, yeah, like most guys who get popped for using a performance-enhancing substance, he's claiming he had no idea he was taking something the NFL has deemed illegal. View this post on Instagram …
data-mm-id=”_38y07vbmm”>Major League Baseball's new rules have certainly changed the game. Some believe for the better. But there's one holdout who isn't a fan of everything MLB has done to speed up games and create more action: San Diego Padres starter Blake Snell. ESPN's team of MLB reporters interviewed a number of players and managers to ask what they thought about the new rules, i.e. the pitch clock, limited throws to bases by pitchers, bigger bases, etc. While most respondents gave nuanced answers about the pros and cons, it's clear Snell isn't a fan of any of it. When asked what his favorite thing about the new rules was, Snell said:"None that I can think of."When asked what rule needs improvement he said:"Stolen bases. It's a jo…
