Kobe Bryant’s father, Joe “Jellybean” Bryant, has put Kobe’s 2000 Los Angeles Lakers NBA championship ring up for auction.

No, that’s not it. We’re craving more. We will continue to operate in that manner. And no, I’m not…
France head coach Fabien Galthie has stated that referee Ben O’Keeffe admitted he ‘was not happy with his performance’ in the Rugby World Cup quarter-final. Les Bleus, who hosted the tournament, were knocked out at the last-eight stage by eventual winners South Africa.

A top talent at Tottenham way back when, this world-class midfielder would eclipse Maddison’s value. Are Tottenham Hotspur where Ange Postecoglou wants them to be? Perhaps, actually. The Australian was appointed last summer to rebuild an outfit in ruin, and the framework placed in the months since looks steady and ready for further improvements. Tottenham are fifth in the Premier League heading into the final stretch of the season but sit just three points behind Aston Villa – who have played an extra fixture – in the top four. All associated with the London club will hope that silverware, last added to the Tottenham trophy cabinet…

Yet, once free agency opened, the Eagles stepped up with the best offer, a three-year, $37.7 million contract, including $26M guaranteed. Obviously, the Giants weren’t willing to cough up that much for the two-time Pro Bowl running back, but the Eagles were.…
