data-mm-id=”_spe089fz5″>Donald Trump turned himself in at the Fulton County Jail in Georgia on Thursday evening. On Friday MSNBC's Morning Joe crew had a good laugh about Trump's self-reported measurements and "strawberry blonde" hair with Joe Scarborough doing most of the riffing since he had the most experience standing near the surprisingly fit ex-president."It was a very sobering moment. I mean, the one of the few moments of levity provided by Donald Trump’s staff, self-reported weight and height. I’ve stood next to him many times. I’m about six-four, maybe he’s six-one, maybe he’s six-one and a half, six two. He’s a good bit shorter, but he is that for 40 minutes, six three and ended up fighting weight of 215. That would be like if my staff rep…

data-mm-id=”_p6wzdzjst”>The Michigan sign-stealing scandal is nearing its climax. Jim Harbaugh has been hit with a suspension lasting the remainder of the regular season that the university plans to fight in the courts. The full breadth of the investigation and the punishment that will follow will not come to fruition until after the football season but the NCAA needs to decide what it's going to do about Michigan's College Football Playoff and bowl eligibility sooner rather than later. In the meantime all Michigan Men are participating in the war of public opinion to defend the school's honor and things are getting nasty on both sides. All of this has infuriated Chris "Mad Dog" Russo, who went absolutely berserk on Harbaugh and Michigan's holier-than-thou…
data-mm-id=”_vsj6q888c”>The Buffalo Bills have an opportunity to conquer recent demons once and for all with the Kansas City Chiefs coming to town as part of the weekend's slate of Divisional Round playoff games. Their fans wasted no time in setting themselves on fire in the hours leading up to kickoff so it's safe to say Bills Mafia is ready to go. If you were watching CNN on Saturday night, that was even more readily apparent. Anderson Cooper was hosting a weather report on the upcoming contest as the forecast called for more snow. The network had journalist Harry Enten on the ground in Buffalo and he made sure to declare his allegiances quite clearly, explaining to Cooper that as a Bills fan he hopes Taylor Swift cries by the end of the game even though he is also a Swift …
data-mm-id=”_k5mqp95pp”>The Kansas City Chiefs and Baltimore Ravens were locked in a tight battle in the AFC Championship Game on Sunday when absolute disaster struck one of the referees. The Ravens were down 17-7 in the last five minutes of the third quarter and were attempting to make a game out of it by driving down the field for a score, a tall task against this Chiefs defense. Baltimore was hindered by their own offensive lineman in the process; guard John Emerson was flagged for holding on a Lamar Jackson incompletion to Mark Andrews. The referee went to announce the penalty and suffered quite a noticeable voice crack in the middle of his moment in the sun. Like a trooper, though, he powered through it. The ref works through a tough voice crack on a penalty call. pic.twitter.com/…

data-mm-id=”_uky9dbxm9″>Maybe it wasn't the fault of Raygun (aka Rachael Gunn) to be allowed to make a total mockery of the Paris Olympics breaking competition. Perhaps the sport and its federation should shoulder some of the blame for letting such ridiculousness take place on the world's biggest sports stage.There is definitely something wrong with the World DanceSport Federation when it comes to determining its world rankings. Because there's no reasonable explanation for having Raygun ranked as the No. 1 female breaker on the planet.No, seriously.
