“It’s only a game, you’ll get over it!”
Yeah, tell that to former Pittsburgh Steelers Jerome Bettis and Ben Roethlisberger who nearly 20 years later are accusing the New England Patriots of cheating during the 2004 AFC Championship Game.
Big Ben and Jerome Bettis on playing the Patriots in the 2004 AFC Championship Game:
Ben: “To be fair the Patriots cheated.”
Jerome: “For Sure they did.”#steelers

Good morning, I’m Dan Gartland. Do yourself a favor and watch MLB’s tribute to Brooks Robinson.
In today’s SI:AM:
🤦 The Cubs blow it
⚾ What Gerrit Cole fixed
🏀 What the Warriors should do with CP3
It’s almost October
With only five days left in the MLB regular season, more than half of the spots in the postseason field have been claimed.
The Phillies clinched a wild-card spot and the No. 4 seed in the NL last night, while the Brewers secured the NL Central. That leaves five playoff spots up for grabs—two wild cards in each league and the AL West.
1. You may think that’s a clickbait headline above, and it sure as hell is, but Dolphins wide out Tyreek Hill is the one who told the Bucs’ Mike Evans during a Twitch stream this week that when he retires from the NFL, he’d like to go into the porn business.
Is Tyreek Hill serious? 😂
Tyreek: “When I retire bro, I really wanna be a pornstar… very serious. You think I got that?”https://t.co/JCQ5NNJJHl
Mike Evans speechless, eventually says: “Naw, I mean whatever you want bro…”
This Miami Dolphins season is pretty crazy 😄… pic.twitter.
When Francona retires, his legacy will be less about his almost 2,000 wins and more about his ability to connect.
The excitement for USC star QB Caleb Williams to get to the NFL is through the roof. But as teams debate whether to go all-in on tanking for a chance to land the Heisman winner, one analyst had an eyebrow-raising take on just how valuable Williams is at the next level.
Appearing on The Colin Cowherd Podcast, Fox Sports’ Nick Wright said he believes Williams is already one of the five most valuable quarterbacks in the world… even ahead of superstars like Jalen Hurts and Lamar Jackson.

Handicapping the race for second between Mercedes and Ferrari

The life and times of Cardinals QB Josh Dobbs is a wild one
Despite the Arizona Cardinals being 1-2, starting QB Joshua Dobbs is having the time of his life. A career backup, Dobbs was traded to the Cardinals from the Cleveland Browns before the season began to lead a team that looked to be destined for the Caleb Williams sweepstakes.
However, the Cardinals have been competitive, and Dobbs just looks like he’s having so much fun, which is super cool to see.

Dana White is fully supportive of Bryce Mitchell’s decision to bring a Bible into the octagon.
Mitchell defeated Dan Ige this past weekend, and went viral on X when he brought the holy book into the octagon and shouted, “Freedom!” at the top of his lungs.
That’s simply not something you usually see in the world of sports, and Dana White doesn’t have an issue with it.
This is amazing!!!
Bryce Mitchell went into his fight last night holding a BIBLE and yelled FREEDOM!!!
He won his fight last night…
