Conor McGregor likes to get high. He posted a video to his Instagram story relaxing and picking up a pot-filled joint, while laughing in the background. Do you think UFC fighters should be allowed to smoke weed?? Comment below and let us know.

Ryan Lochte tied the knot with former Playboy playmate Kayla Rae Reid in a secret ceremony in Gainesville, Florida this week. The couple had courthouse wedding and Ryan’s dad was a witness to the ceremony. A low key wedding is a bit of a surprise considering the over-the-top proposal by the professional swimmer/liar.

Richard Sherman, the Seahawks superstar cornerback, is speaking out against the NFL, calling the concussion protocol an “absolute joke”. He said the league’s policy is more for public relations than it is to actually protect it’s players. Sherman used air quotes and spoke sarcastically in the video when talking about “the players” and “player safety”. He said he thinks the league, not the individual teams, should face criticism for the “independent” policy. He also said that he will not be donating his brain to science after his death.

Should the media cover Lavar Ball? Coach Pop just spoke out about how he's just another fan in the peanut gallery. Jeff and Stan Van Gundy also said he's a hassle. Steve Kerr even called him the Kardashian of the NBA. So should media cover him even though coaches seem to think he's detrimental to the sport, just because he gets views?

A few days after Alabama’s comeback win against Georgia in the National Championship game, it has come to light that there was a scandal surrounding the matchup. Last Saturday, someone made their way into the Atlanta Marriott Marquis, broke into the Bama coaches hotel room and stole a backpack from defensive coach Karl Dunbar. If the Bulldogs had defeated the Crimson Tide, this story would be a LOT more scandalous. But still, there's something fishy about the whole thing.

Last night during the Cavs/Raptors game, LeBron’s squad struggled in Toronto, losing 133-99 - and he was not happy. The King was the only one showing any sort of dominance on his team, finishing with 26 points, and he was extremely frustrated by the lack of effort around him. The cameras caught a video of him “coaching” his teammates on a break, looking visibly displeased, waving his hands around in desperation. LeBron's former teammate Kyrie Irving “liked” this video post on Instagram - troll game strong.

Great news for rapper 50 Cent, the New York Mets have invited him back to get a re-do of his horrific first pitch back in May 2014. A pitch so bad, it sent the internet into a frenzy. Also, remember his feud with Conor McGregor? It started during McGregor’s press tour for the Mayweather fight when Conor yelled to a crowd: “50 Cent’s a bitch.” Several weeks after the fight, 50 started talking trash back, saying he could take the UFC champ in the street because he only weighs 150 pounds. And now 50 is doubling down on the claim.

In an interview with Men’s Health Magazine in Las Vegas, Floyd Mayweather seemed to not fully understand what the whole #MeToo movement was about. When the reporter asked him what he thought about the movement, he said he uses the phrase “me too” to discuss his wealth. Listen to his description of what the Me too movement means to him. In Floyd's defense, he probably didn't read about it because he....COULDN'T read about it.

The Boston Celtics are in London this week to play the 76ers and in order to get there- they of course had to fly across the Atlantic Ocean half way across the world to get there. Kyrie has suggested in the past that the world was flat and naturally, after taking this voyage, people wanted to know weather he had changed his mind and would admit that the world is in fact round.

Being back in NY must have stirred up some memories for Lauri Markkanen of the courtship with the Knicks and especially Phil Jackson, which Lauri was ready to get off his chest. Markkanen told the Daily News that while visiting New York as part of the draft process, he went out to dinner with Phil Jackson. That was all fine and normal, but what wasn’t normal was what Phil Jackson tried to get Markkanen to eat.

According to TMZ, the Los Angeles Lakers were ready to sign Jamil Wilson to a 10 day contract after he was recently released by the Clippers.

Triple H was spotted having dinner in Los Angeles with Rowdy Ronda.

Dan Stoddard is an Ottawa citizen and a bus driver raising two teenagers. He takes online classes at Algonquin College... which is already admirable for a man with two kids and a full time job.

Besides his height, he may not look like a typical ball player, but the head coach approached him about trying-out... and Mr. D took it to heart.

It’s a question that feels like it’s been swirling around since the beginning of time… Where does Drake’s NBA loyalties lie? Well it seems like the answer wherever he damn well feels like it.

H&M was the place to go to get quality clothes on a budget, but now the company is in damage-control mode after accusations of a racist online ad.
