According to Thomson, success will eventually follow suit if the fighters are consistent and keep on winning their fights. Citing examples of famous personalities and how their winning records helped them get past their controversial pasts, ‘The Punk’ said:...

“It was good. I got to take part in the warm up and see how I was feeling. I felt OK,” Altidore told reporters during a conference call on Tuesday when asked about the injury. “Obviously, it won’t be perfect, but like I said on Wednesday night, it’s a big game, a one-off, and, with everything we put into this season, I’m going to put every right foot forward I can to make sure I’m in the team and playing that game....

And now is not the time to start. As he prepares for the NFL Draft in May, hoping to be the top quarterback selected and one of the top players taken overall, he’s made it known that he wants to stay in the state of Texas. And the Houston Texans have the No. 1 pick. And what if the Texans pass on the former Texas A&M quarterback and Heisman Trophy winner and he lands within the same division with the Jaguars (No....

Johnny Manziel AKA Johnny Football AKA Johnny Starter is at it again. The former Heisman Trophy winner hooked up with Travis Benjamin, who’s starting to become his favorite target, for a 60-yard touchdown against the Titans Sunday. It’s the second time Manziel and Benjamin have hooked up on a long pass for a score in as many weeks since Manziel took over injured starter Josh McCown. Last week, the two combined for a Johnny Football w/the BOMB TD to @TravisBenjamin3 https://t....

If by some miracle Manziel cleans up his act enough to the point a team feels comfortable signing him for 2017, then he won’t serve the suspension. The ban likely will have no impact considering the free-agent quarterback is viewed as “radioactive” by teams. Not only does he have this suspension hanging over him, but he’s also in the middle of a legal battle in which he’s accused of assaulting his ex-girlfriend....

The part took place after the controversial Stone Ocean, which got a lot of mixed reviews. So, there was quite some pressure on Araki while writing Steel Ball Run, and thankfully he managed to ace it and produced a huge hit. Steel Ball Run is special in various ways- the new universe, giving the new characters the names of characters from other parts, the introduction of Spin, etcetera. One of the biggest attractions of Steel Ball Run is the characters and while all of them were brilliant in their own ways, some of them managed to stand out more than the others, and one such character was Johnny Joestar....

The fact that Jon is striding into a productive adulthood with a spring in his step and Baltimore’s Orioles on his mind is a consummation that could not have been confidently predicted when he was born. Then a doctor told his parents that their first decision must be whether or not to take Jon home. Surely 21 years later fewer doctors suggest to parents of handicapped newborns that the parental instinct of instant love should be tentative or attenuated, or that their commitment to nurturing is merely a matter of choice, even a question of convenience....

That’s what happens when a player becomes the first collegiate athlete to represent the U.S. national team in decades, then earns a contract offer from Bundesliga side Werder Bremen after a successful trial. Thankfully for Seattle Sounders fans, and supporters of MLS on the whole, Morris opted to turn down a move to Germany in favor of signing with his hometown club. His first season in MLS hasn’t been perfect by any means, but Morris has successfully shouldered massive expectations and become an integral part of a Sounders side that pulled off a stunning midseason turnaround to make the playoffs....

The documentary, titled The Rise of Jordan Peterson, was due to air at the ShapeShifters Lab in Brooklyn on Sunday, but Toronto-based filmmakers Patricia Marcoccia and Maziar Ghaderi received notice of the cancellation only hours before.

Ruiz’s victory thrust Parker back into the forefront of the heavyweight picture, or at least that’s what the 27-year-old New Zealander believes....
