SE Dons: The Team with the Best Mindset in English Football
Venture south of the River Thames and you'll find the SE Dons. Before watching, anyone would think that this is a typical Sunday league club; fluctuating performances, half-decent players and a bobbly pitch that lays home to the odd wonder goal. Let me correct you there. The Dons are different.

Lakers Playoff Push
With LeBron James making the playoffs in 13 consecutive seasons, could this year have a different outcome? LeBron James has been a top basketball player ever since he was drafted back in 2003. He was drafted as the first pick in the first round, selected by his hometown team of the Cleveland Cavaliers. With such a high pick in the draft, we all thought he was going to turn a 17-65, 2002 Cavaliers team completely around.

The 10 Best Gifts for Cristiano Ronaldo Fans
There is, potentially, nothing more difficult than identifying the "greatest player" in the history of an individual sport. In basketball, the great Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James argument looms large. In baseball, there is literally no unequivocally right or wrong answer, and in the NFL, it's Tom Brady vs. literally everyone else.

The Brilliance of the Tyson Fury/Top Rank Deal, and the Blindness of the Showtime/Deontay Wilder Fandom
It seems like boxing is prospering during the post Mayweather era. Every major network has got themselves a few major stars and those networks and apps have the money to pay them what they're worth. Back in 2013 when Floyd Mayweather signed his nine-figure deal with Showtime, the offer was looked at as something foolish to refuse. Mayweather would not only be set for life, but his family generations after would be set as well. In a sport where so many of it's legends were robbed or went broke, this mega deal would be the blue print for how boxers should handle their business. Fast forward to 2019, Canelo Alvarez (former Mayweather foe and now the face of boxing) has signed what's being called the richest contract in sports history. Another nine-figure contract in the books for a boxer. A lot can be said about Alvarez when it comes to many things in this sport. One thing's for sure is he's a big draw. Probably the biggest in the sport. With this contract signing Tyson is obviously in the big draw category. For guys like them saying a fighter is scared just isn't enough chips to play at the table cashing them in and earning a fight with them. Which brings me to why you clicked on this article in the first place ... Tyson Fury and the brilliance of his contract signing.

“One More Time”
So, a little background. I’m a pretty clumsy person. I seem to always end up breaking bones or tearing ligaments. I’m also pretty stubborn when it comes to sitting out in sports. Now you're wondering what that has to do with anything, but it will be useful when you read this. So, when I was back in elementary school, we went on a ski trip every year from third grade until you went to high school. In my eighth-grade year, I was at the ski resort and originally been snowboarding (had to be different from everybody). I switched to ski’s an hour before we had to leave so I could go down the same mountain as my friends. Now, remember, this wasn’t my first year skiing. I was going to go in for a drink and snack, but my friend begged me to go one more time.

Lee Morris Is Oklahoma's Unheralded TD Tycoon
It seems Sooner Nation is ecstatic about the talent Oklahoma has on the offensive side of the football—as they should be. CeeDee Lamb is a contender for the 2019 Biletnikoff Award. Grant Calcaterra had an unforgettable one-handed TD against Texas. Charleston Rambo provided a glimpse of hope against Alabama. Jadon Haselwood, Theo Wease, and Trejan Bridges are among the most talented incoming freshmen in the country (Austin Stogner was also one of the most highly coveted tight ends in the 2019 recruiting cycle); to say nothing of Mykel Jones (2016) and Jaquayln Crawford (2018), who were highly touted four star recruits in their respective cycles. Someone is missing though ... Oh yeah, the former walk-on, no-star recruit, Lee Morris.
