New Orleans Saints defensive end Cam Jordan took to Twitter to vent about how the NFL's 'ridiculous' fines 'irked' him for being excessively punitive.As funny as flop compilations may be for sports fans, leagues make it clear that faking or exaggerating injury is no laughing matter.While a common tactic for advantages on the hardwood, there are reasons why football players may fake injuries on the field aside from drawing a penalty flag.

While March Madness is most associated with television and streaming, Pringles is turning to social media - particularly Instagram - to leverage some of the college athletes playing in the basketball tournament.The chip brand is looking to reach college basketball fans on second screens and offering chances to win tickets to attend the tournament's final games.

In pursuit of young fans in video game spaces, the NFL announced Thursday an ongoing virtual presence in "Fortnite's" Creative mode, called NFL Zone.The new partnership will include mini games, modified versions of "Fortnite" game modes using football terminology ("seek and sack" instead of "search and destroy") and collaborations with top gaming and streaming influencers.

It's halftime, so Desus Nice is smoking a blunt in the California sunshine.And the Knicks are up five, so the Bronx native and comedian is in a good mood.(Obviously, the Knicks would manage to lose this game, as if that is even a question; they're the Knicks).But for now the mood was pretty bing bong outside 33 Taps, a Silver Lake bar that has become the de facto sports bar for displaced New Yorkers desperate to watch an NBA playoff run with others from the city - or at least the tri-state area.

The mayors of San Francisco and Sacramento were already busy trading shots at each other before Sunday's NBA playoff game got underway between the Golden State Warriors and the Kings."When you go traveling to visit cities, do you ever go to Sacramento?Is that ever on your bucket list?"San Francisco Mayor London Breed said on NBC Sports Bay Area on Friday before Game 6, which the Warriors lost 118-99.

ESPN 1000 and The Score faced a conundrum planning their NFL Draft coverage with baseball games each day of the event.So program directors Mitch Rosen and Danny Zederman got creative.With the White Sox playing at 6:10 p.m. Thursday on 1000-AM during the first night of the draft (the first round begins at 7), Zederman devised a digital megacast across three platforms.

Philadelphia Eagles fans got raucous in the streets before Super Bowl 57, flipping a car before the game against the Chiefs even started.It may not be the most civilized of celebrations but by now sports fans are used to seeing winning fans after a championship game flip a car or two.Eagles fans jumped the gun on Super Bowl Sunday by flipping a car before kickoff.

New logo reveals have become so over the top that it's almost inevitable that people will be disappointed.Just a couple of days after the Kansas City Chiefs won this year's Super Bowl in Arizona, the NFL has revealed the logo for next year's Super Bowl XVIII, with three men in suits struggling to unveil a ball of Brobdingnagian proportions that's been hidden under a sheet.

To witness the unexpected and experience the magic of high school sports competition, all it takes is a glimpse of Rodrick Pleasant unleashing his burst of speed this spring.It's unlike anything you've seen from a teenage athlete.A year ago as a junior at Gardena Serra, Pleasant shattered what was thought to be an unbreakable state record in the 100 meters by running it in a state record 10.14 seconds.

Did you see that glimmer of sun out there?There's hope yet that spring has finally arrived and we can put that snow and frigid air behind us.And nothing reminds sports fans of that more than baseball - the Cubs' home opener is today, and the White Sox will return to Chicago on Monday to face off against the San Francisco Giants.

Restaurants These new restaurants and bars are worth adding to your list.In April, new restaurant openings in and around Boston include a laid-back steakhouse lounge, an elevated sports bar reimagining a legendary hangout, and an expansive Fenway location of a South Boston staple.Plus, food trucks return to The Greenway.

Fans of Formula One racing, focaccia pizzas and pastas tossed in meaty sauces, and Italian seafood dishes will soon find it all under one lively roof, when Yeppa and Co. opens at Buckhead Village, Monday, February 27.Named for an Italian verbal exclamation expressing joy and excitement, Yeppa and Co. takes over the former Biltong Bar space at the luxury retail complex, transforming 7,000-square-feet into a thumping, multi-faceted Italian restaurant dedicated to high-energy vibes, dishes from the Emilia-Romagna region of Italy, and international sports.

Sports fans, much like politicians, like to put things into binary terms.We don't often work across the aisle; a coach is either a genius or has a seat hotter than a skillet.Your favorite player is a stone-cold killer or Mongolian league-bound bench rider.A fanbase's team is tough as nails or, as Patrick Beverley might agree, Charmin soft.

Rémy Martin is using its first national ad for the Super Bowl as a bid to attract younger audiences to its products.This is a change from the last two years, when the alcohol brand advertised around the big game through regional efforts.But this year, Anheuser-Busch's exclusivity on alcohol ads is up for the first time since 1989, opening the door for other alcohol brands to join - and Rémy Martin is capitalizing on that.

Twitter reacts to 'He Gets Us' commercial during Super Bowl.There was an uproar even before the ad aired.People wondered how a church, which is meant to be a non-profit, could afford to purchase not one but two expensive Super Bowl commercials.The "He Gets Us," campaign is meant to promote Jesus and Christianity and ias part of the group's $100 million media investment, according to CNN.

A: Motivated buyers love Super Sunday.They know very few looky-loos will show up, giving real buyers an opportunity to see and stay at the open house longer.Fuel this opportunity with earlier hours, such as 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and a traditional assortment of game day snacks.If the open house is going to be hosted during the big game, turn on the homeowner's television.

March Madness has begun.Although countless college basketball fans will be glued to their screen - and couch - over the next few days, many other sports fans will be chilling on the couch with an extra accessory: a bag of frozen peas.That's because for many men, it's time to heal from a procedure that's historically timed with college basketball playoff season.

The branding for Paris 2024 didn't get off to a great start, with the 'flame' logo mercilessly mocked on release in 2019 for resembling, er, a woman with a 'Karen' hairstyle.But we've just had our next glimpse at the games' branding as a whole, and things are looking up.The International Olympic Committee has unveiled a new set of 62 pictograms for the Olympic and Paralympic Games, claiming to have "reinvented the concept" of the symbols.

Once upon a time, all you needed to watch TV in France was an aerial, an electrical socket, a TV, and a TV licence.These days, it can be slightly more complicated though the initial TV tuning process is much easier, less sweary, and takes less time than it does to set up your so-called smart TV and of course you can also watch on a laptop or tablet.

A new angle of Eagles CB James Bradberry holding Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster in Super Bowl 57 should put all the debate to rest.Super Bowl 57 was essentially decided by a holding penalty and the NFL world, particularly Eagles fans, did not like that one bit.Days later, the debate continued over whether the refs screwed Philadelphia and denied sports fans a thrilling ending to an instant classic of a game.

I didn't watch the 2022 World Cup Final on Sunday, because I'm a chauvinist American pig and I wanted to take a nap before a far bigger sporting event: the Knicks- Pacers game.But I heard it was a big deal, and I consider Posting and Toasting to be an all-inclusive site for sports fans, so let's break down what happened.
