LThursday night football, a 29-point comeback, and a goalie spilling Real Madrid locker room secrets. We're live. Let's go.
MSixers were down 29 to the Knicks... and won their home opener. Philly's largest comeback of the play-by-play era. That's not a comeback, that's a heist.
LThey stole it! And LeBron, in game two in Philly, is already at the center of it. The crowd was loud all night — they were booing him and then they were lifting him up.
MHold on, he had 6 assists and they still erase 29? The Knicks were up like they were playing a preseason game. You cannot blow that.
LOh, you CAN. The Knicks just proved it. But the bigger story: Thibaut Courtois on DAZN says the Madrid dressing room sings the 'Mbappé is a dictator' song all the time.
MThey sing it? In the locker room? That's... actually kind of wild. But Courtois says Mbappé finds it funny too.
LSee, that's the part people miss. It's not bullying, it's a bit of fun between millionaires who all hate each other on the pitch but can laugh in the room.
MNo, I love it. A dressing room that can joke about the biggest story in football? That's healthy. Meanwhile, the Bears are up on New England, Drake Maye just threw a dart. Back with more.
