If you haven’t seen a video compilation of the worst technical fouls in the NBA, you’re missing out. You’ll see Jayson Tatum getting a technical for lightly bouncing the ball after giving up a foul; Lance Stephenson for doing the air guitar celebration; and best of all, Tim Duncan getting one for laughing on the bench.

When Lebron James famously announced his decision to “take his talents to South Beach,” fans were livid. The NBA was surely doomed to be under the Miami Heat’s complete control for the foreseeable future, with James, Dwyane Wade, and Chris Bosh running the show, so why even watch?
If you were a sports fanatic in the late 1990s and early 2000s, there weren’t many better places to be than St. Louis. In the NFL, the St. Louis Rams were the biggest spectacle, with their high-powered offense being referred to as “The Greatest Show on Turf.”
s of September 28th, these leagues announced a deal that involves the XFL and USFL merging into one developmental spring league. With potential guidance from the NFL, there will finally be a spring football league that isn’t susceptible to competition from other leagues.
