If things don’t work out for the guys, Cheese and Jet from the Harlem Globetrotters have a message for them.

The blazers ended up losing their game against Minnesota on the road 107-108, but that didn't stop Portland star Damian Lillard from heading over to the gates after the game in order to sign some autographs for some fans.

During the Sunday night matchup between the Dallas Cowboy and Oakland Raiders, the game is tied at 17 late in the 4th. Dak Prescott goes for the quarterback sneak, and the refs bring out the chains to see if it is good enough for the first down. Apparently the officials were confused to the point they needed an INDEX CARD to confirm the call.

Conor McGregor made more in one night in the boxing ring than in a handful of UFC bouts. It's natural to assume that kind of payday would mess with a man's head. According to his coach, that $30 million payday has taken the edge off of Conor, and a successful return to the UFC seems unlikely.

Jerry Jones, Dallas Cowboys owner, is loved by some and hated by others. And this couldn’t be more apparent than at last Sunday Night’s game. He probably wasn’t expecting to be cursed out right in the face. Take a look at this video as one Raiders fan let him know what he thought of him.

Needless to say, the OKC experiment featuring Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony and Paul George hasn't lived up to expectations at all. So is it time to reconsider?
