Colin Cowherd Has a Problem With Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer's Backward Visor
National Football League Colin Cowherd Has a Problem With Cowboys HC Brian Schottenheimer's Backward Visor Published Aug. 5, 2025 12:23 p.m. ET share facebook x reddit link A lot of people like to wear a hat backward, and sometimes even a visor. To most people, it's not a big deal. Again, to most people. "You know I don't like backwards hats. What's worse is a backward visor. That's a two-win team," Colin Cowherd said on Monday's edition of "The Herd" about Dallas Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer wearing a backward visor at a press conference. "I'm taking away four wins. When you sit in front of a podium, you're representing the Cowboys; you're representing Bank of America; you're representing a $12 billion corporation. I think you got to do better as a head coach than a visor backwards. "There's a reason that at country clubs and private clubs, you have to wear collared shirts and jackets. There's a reason for that. There's a standard. I don't want to look like a guy that's here to move my couch. I want you to do better than that. That's awful. That is so bad." It's a sentiment that Cowherd has previously expressed, including with Los Angeles Lakers head coach JJ Redick and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy. With regard to Redick, Cowherd said at the time that, "We can't just keep lowering our standards, or pretty soon, hat on backward becomes flip-flops and board shorts to work." If I have to be the mean guy that has to start the national dialogue on standards, so be it. … Go ahead. Standards are standards." ADVERTISEMENT Schottenheimer is entering his first season as the Cowboys' head coach after spending the previous two seasons as their offensive coordinator (2023-24) and the 2022 season as a coaching analyst. Dallas opens its 2025 preseason on the road on Saturday against the Los Angeles Rams. Will Schottenheimer break out the visor? It's projected to be between the mid 60s and mid 70s in Inglewood, CA, where the Rams play, on Saturday. Chances are if the Dallas head coach indeed breaks one a backward visor, Cowherd will be punching air. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

"The world think LeBron really might be doing that" - Teague explains his father asked him to take back what he said about James doing PEDs
"The world think LeBron really might be doing that" - Teague explains his father asked him to take back what he said about James doing PEDs originally appeared on Basketball Network. Former Atlanta Hawks All-Star guard Jeff Teague made a controversial statement during a recent episode of his "Club 520" podcast. During that episode, Teague accused the Miami version of LeBron James of taking steroids to dominate the league. Interestingly, however, Jeff took back his accusations almost immediately, tweeting that he was just joking and that he was trying to drive home the point that LBJ was so dominant during that period that he had to use a wild comparison. "What I was saying was he was so good that we had, you know, when somebody be rich and they black, we say they Illuminati…" said Teague on the recent episode of Joe Budden's "Patreon Podcast." When Budden pushed him to say who got him to retract his statement, Teague said it was his dad. "Nobody called. My pops told me like, 'Yo, why you say that?' And I was like, 'Say what?' I was like…they took that the wrong way, so I was like, 'I need to back that up.' Cuz he said, 'We know you joking, but the world think LeBron really might be doing that.' Like, I don't know LeBron. I ain't never spoke to LeBron. He said, 'Wassup' to me twice in my life," he added. Teague claimed James used HGH During that particular episode of Teague's podcast, he claimed that James used synthetic Human Growth Hormone (HGH) during his "Big 3" days with the Miami Heat. Jeff claimed that when the NBA began testing for HGH, LeBron sat out for three weeks with a back injury, and then when he returned, he was noticeably skinnier. However, the NBA did not start testing for HGH until the 2015-16 NBA season, or at least two seasons after LBJ left the Heat. That alone made Teague's claim a baseless lie. And although James was investigated by authorities in 2013 during the Biogenesis scandal, he was never accused of anything. "If he was doing that, don't you know I would have did it. S–t, I would have took them…If I could have been half the ni–a he was, come on, bro. If we talk about $100 million, $300 million, I would have did that," Teague aired out another trolled Teague for recanting Right after Teague took back his statement, fellow former All-Star Gilbert Arenas trolled Jeff for backtracking so quickly. Agent Zero then joked that instead of making false claims against King James, Teague might want to join him and other talking heads in the Klutch payroll, insinuating that Bron controls the media and the narrative around him. "Jeff Teague hit us with the ol', 'My bad, Bron!' Like he ain't just accused LeBron of sippin' on that Avengers serum. Bro walked it back so smooth I thought he was moonwalking. Next time, just say, 'LeBron built different' and keep it pushin! Jeff, you better stop it, cuz there are a few people you can't talk about - LeBron James, Bronny James. That's it. Nobody else got that power. You see, your daddy called; they got to him. Boy, you better buy your LeBron jersey, man and then sit back and be Team LeBron like the rest of us," Gil said. To be fair, LeBron has never failed a single drug test during his 22-year NBA career. Save for that 2013 episode involving Biogenesis, James is as clean as a whistle when it comes to drugs, steroids, and PED issues. So, unless proven otherwise, why can't people just say LBJ is genetically gifted? That may be what he really story was originally reported by Basketball Network on Aug 5, 2025, where it first appeared.

MrBeast Plans LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan Matchup With One Condition
MrBeast Plans LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan Matchup With One Condition originally appeared on Fadeaway World. In what can only be described as the most audacious idea yet to settle the greatest debate in basketball history, YouTube titan MrBeast has floated a fantasy matchup that would break the internet: LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan in a one-on-one duel. But there's a catch: LeBron would be handicapped. 'Like, so one of my most viewed videos in the last year is where I had Ronaldo 1v1 like a random fan for a million dollars. People loved it." "And so I was just randomly thinking the other day, I was like, imagine if we got LeBron and Michael Jordan to 1v1, but we like handicapped LeBron in some way. They would never do it, but like imagine if we could get that to happen. You know how fucking crazy that would be?' Yes, you read that right. Jimmy Donaldson, better known as MrBeast, recently appeared in a co-stream with fellow internet star Adin Ross, where he casually dropped the bombshell. Reflecting on a past video where Cristiano Ronaldo took on a random fan with $1 million at stake, MrBeast proposed a similarly wild challenge: get LeBron and MJ to go head-to-head. To level the playing field, considering Jordan is now 62 and LeBron is still an athletic monster at 40, the YouTuber suggested handicapping the Los Angeles Lakers star. Of course, the internet exploded with suggestions. Tie LeBron's shoes together. Make him play blindfolded. Take away his dominant hand. Or, as some joked, just don't let him score. It's absurd and clearly not meant to be taken entirely seriously, but the mere thought of this dream scenario sent fans into a frenzy. It's worth noting that this isn't just any fan's delusion. MrBeast is arguably the most influential content creator on the planet, with the financial means and global reach to at least make a pitch to both legends. Adin Ross was quick to hype up the idea, saying if anyone could make it happen, it was MrBeast. Even if it never sees the light of day, the buzz was immediate and relentless. Let's face it, this matchup will almost certainly never happen. Not because people don't want it, but because both LeBron and Jordan have far too much to lose. At their core, both are fiercely competitive and legacy-conscious. Neither would want to walk away with an 'L,' even if the circumstances were absurd. A handicapped exhibition would invite questions, memes, and media pressure that no PR team on Earth would willingly invite. Still, the idea isn't entirely without precedent. LeBron has openly admitted to once sharing the court with MJ in a pickup game when he was just 16. It wasn't one-on-one, but it happened. That story, where a teenage LeBron faced legends like Penny Hardaway and Ron Artest alongside Jordan, has only added to the mythical allure surrounding both players. Jordan, for his part, was once known to challenge Charlotte Bobcats players to competitive games well into his 40s and early 50s. But 62? That's a different beast altogether. Meanwhile, LeBron just wrapped up a season where he averaged 24.4 points and 8.2 assists per game, ranked 13th in scoring, and finished sixth in MVP voting, at 40 years old. Even with a handicap, it's hard to envision a matchup that wouldn't make LeBron the overwhelming favorite. Which is why, as hilarious and exciting as the idea is, it likely stays in the world of fantasy. But when MrBeast dreams, the world story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Aug 2, 2025, where it first appeared. Solve the daily Crossword
