3:00 PM ET Facebook Twitter Facebook Messenger Pinterest Email print comment I really love peanuts. Like, really love peanuts, in the shell, roasted and covered with enough salt to clear the snow off all the roads in Connecticut. I can eat peanuts by the handful or by the bag. But I cannot eat them by the metric ton. Trust me. I tried one time at one of those steakhouses that…

Do not expect a strong reaction from NASCAR in response to the brief post-race scuffle between Kyle Busch and Joey Logano at Las Vegas Motor Speedway following Sunday’s Kobalt 400, which was won by Martin Truex Jr. Appearing on SIRIUS/XM NASCAR Radio’s Tradin’ Paint show with Jim Noble and Chocolate Myers, NASCAR Chairman and CEO Brian France said the sanctioning body likely won’t fine the combatants. “What I always say…

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Kyle Busch had a gash on his forehead and blood running down his nose when he promised payback to Joey Logano. The two had a brief post-race pit road brawl that can be seen on TMZ, the “Today Show” and, really, just about anywhere. The tussle shoved NASCAR into the watercooler talk Monday alongside the NCAA Tournament, and the reason why should be a wakeup call to…

Non-NASCAR fans have no idea that Martin Truex Jr. won Sunday’s race at Las Vegas thanks to Brad Keselowski’s wounded car with two laps to go. But there’s a decent chance those fans know there was a tussle after the race, even if those fans don’t know who Kyle Busch and Joey Logano are. So it goes for NASCAR, a niche sport that moves to the mainstream of general interest…

When you think of Brazilian soccer, you think passion, a beautiful style of play and a touch on the ball that is matched by nobody.  That is exactly the opposite of what happened this weekend in the match between Gama and Brasiliense of the local league of the Brazilian capital of Brasilia. There was a brawl between players, fans got involved and as did the authorities. Take a look. That’s…

Two things that are generally frowned upon when you’ve got a decent lead in a football game are going for two-point conversions and going for it on fourth down. The latter is more confusing, though, because if you believe you have a good chance to keep possession of the ball by going for it on fourth down, why wouldn’t you? Some may say it’s disrespectful to go for it on…

No disrespect to today’s Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series drivers, but most of them don’t come across as brawlers.  As a group, today’s racers are far more physically fit than the drivers of yesteryear, although with few exceptions, they aren’t exactly an intimidating lot. In honor of Sunday’s contretemps between Joey Logano and Kyle Busch following the Kobalt 400 at Las Vegas Moto Speedway, we thought about some…
