Two NFL legends – Tony Dungy and Steve Young – have a bit of bad blood with Taylor Swift’s influence on the NFL.
Dungy spoke with Fox News’ Raymond Arroyo at Thursday’s Hall of Fame banquet before the 78th Hula Bowl in Orlando, a college football All-Star game. Arroyo asked the former Bucs and Colts coach about how he views the current state of the NFL. The Hall-of-Famer said that he believes the “Taylor Swift effect” negatively impacted the league’s relationship with viewers.
“That’s the thing that’s disenchanting people with sports now,” Dungy said.

Rory McIlroy is one of the best golfers on the planet. There is no question about that. However, he has a reputation as a player who often chokes away victories.
That reputation got some additional fuel on Sunday at the Dubai Invitational. Now, to be fair to McIlroy, he didn’t play that badly. In fact, he entered the day one shot behind Tommy Fleetwood.
However, McIlroy should have won the tournament. And, he would have if he didn’t three-putt. From two feet away. Seriously.

Fans looking to attend the Rams/Lions game in Detroit tonight better be ready to spend some serious money.
The Lions host the Rams in the opening round of the playoffs, and it’s the first home playoff game for the franchise in 30 years.
I was barely alive the last time Detroit was in this position. To say hype is through the roof would be a massive understatement, and that’s reflected in the ticket prices.

NBA load management is annoying, it’s a rip-off for fans and — now we know — it’s completely pointless.
The league released an analytical report to teams this week that found there is no correlation between the controversial practice of load management and decreased risk of injury.
For years, NBA teams have allowed non-injured star players to rest during the regular season in order to maintain health and postseason performance. Now, the report — completed by IQVIA Injury Surveillance & Analytics — says there’s no proof this theory is true.
