Draymond wanted all the smoke, punching Poole during practice last week. After the footage leaked, it had everyone talking— Jake Paul included.  

The Youtuber-turned-boxer definitely liked what he saw by the former Defensive Player of the Year. So much so that he says he’d pay $10 million to get Draymond in the boxing ring. 

Paul already has an opponent in mind for the four time NBA champ. He tweeted out ‘Draymond Green vs Deron Williams. Who wins?’

The ex NBA player probably has the upper hand with more experience and training against UFC fighters. But I wouldn't call it a done deal.

That tape showed Dray is all about that action, and I think he would be more than ready to strap on the gloves. 

While the Dubs decide how long Draymond will be away from the team, I'll be over here imagining him in the ring.

Back to back blowouts? Not the type of streak you want. And definitely not the way you wanna go out against your rival.

The Sooners took that L against Texas on Saturday after the Longhorns beat down 49-0.

Defense was lacking and offense was just as disappointing. The fact that Texas had 585 total yards of offense compared to Oklahoma's 195…Smh.

Kevin Durant said it best in his tweet: “This ain’t it”.

Today kicks off MLB's Division Series. But first, let's talk about the wild finishes to wild card weekend: 

For one, the Mets got the boot. 102 win season yet couldn't pull it off. You hate to see it.

On the other hand, the Mariners broke their 20-year playoff drought. They advance to the ALDS after overcoming a seven run deficit to take down the Blue Jays.

The Guardians also took down the Rays in the shortest AL postgame season ever. All praise to Oscar Gonazalez’ and his walk-off homer as they look ahead to take on the Yankees.

If there's one thing Rob Manfred has done right, it's giving us more October baseball. Thanks for the new wild card format, commish.

Justin Tucker is a field goal machine! He came up clutch in Sunday’s game after kicking a 43-yard field goal for the win against the Bengals.

This is clearly nothing new and fans know this by now… I would hope that teams do too.

Tucker’s made 72 straight field goals in the second half and overtime. Oh and he has the NFL record for 59 straight in the fourth and overtime.

Don’t play with him!
