Cowboys great Emmitt Smith isn’t pleased with how Dallas head coach Mike McCarthy is using tailback Tony Pollard this season, and he made that point abundantly clear during an interview on the Up and Adams show Friday.
Many NFL fans and observers expected a breakout campaign for Pollard this season following the departure of Ezekiel Elliott. But that hasn’t exactly been the case through seven games, and Smith believes McCarthy is to blame.
“Tony Pollard, given the right opportunities can be a great back,” said Smith.

Could there be another Tiger Woods comeback on the horizon? Stewart Cink suggested the Big Cat is ramping up for a PGA Tour return.
This week at the World Wide Technology Championship, the PGA Tour is playing on a Tiger Woods-designed course for the first time at the El Cardonal at Diamante course.
Ahead of the event, Stewart Cink, the 2009 Open Championship winner, spoke with him and told Golf Channel’s George Savaricas that Woods was ramping up.
“He said that he started practicing, which I think is a great sign,” Cink said.

Neck protection has been a hot-button topic around all of hockey. This comes following the death of former NHL player Adam Johnson last weekend during a game in the UK. Now, some NHL players are wearing them including TJ Oshie of the Washington Capitals, who urged youth players to wear them as well.
Oshie took the ice on Thursday night wearing a neck protector made by his own hockey Warroad. The company sells a line of cut-resistant baselayers and that appears to be what Oshie had on under his gear.

Former Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz is living his best life these days.
It has been a minute since the New York Giants were among the NFL’s more relevant teams.
While Giants fans hope that brighter days are not too far ahead it is hard to feel totally sorry for them given that their team has won two Super Bowl titles in the age of the internet. As true as that is it has now been over 12 years since the G-Men last hoisted the Lombardi Trophy and a big reason that they did back during the 2011 season was because of wide receiver Victor Cruz.

Travis Kelce’s relationship with Taylor Swift has been one of the biggest storylines during the first half of the 2023–24 NFL season. So it shouldn’t be a surprise that the topic would come up during a press conference ahead of the Chiefs’ Week 10 matchup with the Dolphins in Frankfurt, Germany.
One reporter got right to it without prefacing the question with any football stuff. She asked Kelce for the “latest status” in his relationship with Swift and whether or not he’s in love with the pop star.
It’s fair to say that Rory Mcllroy is one of the most recognizable figures in sports. The golfer has won an incredible array of trophies but is now taking a swing at investments. Joining a host of elite sportspeople that includes Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Anthony Joshua, Mcllroy is now part of the Otro Capital group, which recently committed €200 million to the Alpine F1 Team.

A white knight has emerged to defend the WNBA’s honor. It’s Philadelphia 76ers guard Patrick Beverley.
Last week, Clay Travis went viral after he issued a challenge to the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces. The OutKick founder offered $1 million to the WNBA champions if they could beat a high school boys basketball team of his choice. If they lose, though, the Aces have to pony up $1 million for the high schoolers.
And while both the WNBA and the Aces did not respond to our requests for comment, Beverley has offered his two cents.
We’re a little over one week into the NBA season entering Friday’s games, and while the sample sizes are still far too small for any conclusions, there are absolutely some elements from this very early set of games that are worth watching. With that in mind, let’s take a look at some early-season lineup combinations and assess what they mean for those teams moving forward.
