Cincinnati Bengals running back Chase Brown scored a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium in Week 14 and celebrated like many before him have – by jumping into the Salvation Army kettle just outside of the end zone.
Two weeks later, Brown had learned that his celebration came with a consequence in the form of a $5,000 fine.
Not only does Brown disagree with the fine amount, but he took his grievances a step further and accused the league of actually baiting players to jump in the kettles in Dallas.

Tennessee over Ohio State? What about Clemson over Texas? There is no room for Cinderella in a 12-team playoff, but that’s not to say there won’t be chaos.

A new man will take on the toughest job in Formula 1 — being teammates with Max Verstappen at Red Bull — and his name is Liam Lawson.
When news broke that Red Bull and Sergio Perez were parting ways, it was obvious that Lawson was going to be the guy. He made his way through Red Bull’s development program and the team went to great lengths to make sure they kept him in the fold, even when there weren’t any race seats available for him.
However, many were surprised and disappointed that the seat wasn’t given to Lawson’s now-former VCARB teammate Yuki Tsunoda.
In an incredibly predictable fashion, Megan Rapinoe was a fan of Caitlin Clark’s recent comments about how she has benefited from ‘white privilege’ throughout her life and basketball career. The former U.S. women’s soccer standout didn’t stop at simply applauding Clark’s comment, however, Rapinoe also took a shot at conservatives in the process.

“I think Vrabel’s spoken for,” Orlovsky said. ” I just think Vrabel’s probably got a very clear sight and path with where he’s going to be likely coaching … He’ll be coaching football.”
Well, the last part of that is absolutely true.
