Perhaps Clyde Frazier thought he ordered bone-in fries to his courtside seats for Game 3 of the NBA Finals. Knicks fans are still reeling from Monday night's 115-111 Spurs victory and the realization that one of their all-time greats eats his French fries like he's eating bone-in wings. "This is worse than Zuckerberg trying to drink water," one fan wrote on Twitter. That is in reference to the Facebook founder attempting to take a sip of water during a Congressional hearing. Let's get back to focusing on Clyde and those fries. Watch as he treats the fry like it's a drum. This isn't the first time Clyde, 81, has gone viral over the way he eats French fries. In 2024, the Knicks legend was spotted at a game eating fries out of a cup without the use of his hands. His TV partner, Mike Breen, theorized at the time that it was Clyde's way of staying fresh and clean. "Here's a guess – he doesn't want to get the grease from the French fries on his fingers and have any possibility of touching that magical suit that he looked so wonderful in," Breen said while noting that it was surprising his buddy would even be eating fries in public. THE PHILADELPHIA FLYERS CHALLENGE FANS TO EAT THREE CHEESESTEAKS AND THREE ORDERS OF FRIES IN A SINGLE GAME This staying fresh and clean theory makes sense, but the chicken wing method just doesn't add up because in the latest video, Clyde's fingers are all over the fries. During a 2019 interview, Frazier addressed his eating habits, but not specifically his French fry antics. "I played at 205 (pounds) and I'm at 205 today," the Basketball Hall of Famer said. What's his secret to staying at his playing weight? Clyde got into eating healthy during the 1960s and 1970s and has maintained a rather clean lifestyle outside of the fries here and there. "I'm eating sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds and an apple and for my sweet tooth," he noted. Outside of that, Clyde said his routine consists of running in place at home and doing yoga. Eating fries like bone-in wings might seem strange to some, but when a legend like this is using the method, it might be time for some of us to do the same. Take note. This guy is still in phenomenal shape at 81. View the full article

Los Angeles Rams offensive lineman Alaric Jackson was arrested Monday night on suspicion of felony domestic violence as the NFL's offseason domestic violence problem has begun growing to epidemic proportions. Jackson, 27, joins the growing list of current and former NFL players who this offseason have run afoul of the law and been arrested, charged, tried or sued in civil court over domestic violence allegations. It is a problem Fox News Digital asked the NFL to address on Tuesday. The league so far has not answered the request for comment. FORMER JETS FIRST-ROUND PICK DARRON LEE CHARGED WITH MURDER IN GIRLFRIEND’S DEATH Jackson, the Rams' starting left tackle the past three seasons, was taken into custody after Los Angeles police assigned to Topanga Area responded to a radio call of a "battery domestic violence" incident on the 7400 block of Cliffside Court in West Hills, the LAPD told Fox News Digital. Officers learned the player and a woman had gotten into a verbal argument because Jackson believed the woman was recording him with her phone, according to KNBC-TV. The 6-foot-7, 338-pounder took the phone out of her hands. Police said the woman had scratch marks on her arms. Jackson was arrested on suspicion of felony domestic violence and bail was set at $50,000. Due to California victim confidentiality requirements related to domestic violence investigations, no further information is being released at this time. The case will be submitted to the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office for filing consideration. This, of course, is another black eye for the NFL because rather than a narrative of the league's offseason being about teams improving or preparing for minicamps, it is another example of domestic abuse by large, strong professional athletes against weaker women. And that has been the story multiple times this offseason. DISPATCH AUDIO REVEALS WHAT WAS HEARD INSIDE JOSH JACOBS' HOME BEFORE ALLEGED DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARREST Consider some of the incidents: Denver Broncos linebacker Jonathon Cooper: Arrested June 4 in Colorado on domestic violence/criminal mischief allegations. He apologized on social media and then pleaded not guilty on Monday. Trial is set for July 22. Packers running back Josh Jacobs: Arrested May 26 on several domestic-abuse-related charges, including felony strangulation. His attorneys denied the allegations while the phone call to police by neighbors alleges an audible disturbance in the player's home. The District Attorney's investigation is ongoing. FALCONS' JAMES PEARCE JR. GRANTED INTERVENTION PROGRAM ENTRY, COULD AVOID TRIAL ON FELONY CHARGES Atlanta Falcons linebacker James Pearce Jr.: Arrested on Feb. 7 after alleged domestic dispute involving WNBA player Rickea Jackson, who is his girlfriend. He rammed her vehicle with his as she was driving to the police station in Doral, Florida. He was charged with aggravated battery, aggravated stalking and fleeing/eluding. He entered into the Miami-Dade County pre-trial intervention and diversion program which effectively pauses a conviction until he meets court-ordered conditions. Kansas City Chiefs star Rashee Rice: His ex-girlfriend filed a civil lawsuit in February alleging repeated domestic violence. While the NFL closed its investigation with no discipline, the suit is ongoing. New England Patriots defensive lineman Christian Barmore: On March 9, he faced a trial on a misdemeanor domestic assault-and-battery charge but at the hearing prosecutors dropped the charge because the alleged victim told them she had moved out of state and did not wish to return for trial. Free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs: The former Patriots WR was tried in May on felony strangulation and assault charges involving his former chef. The jury found him not guilty. The Patriots cut Diggs in March, ostensibly for salary cap cost reduction purposes. No other team has signed Diggs. Former New York Jets linebacker Darron Lee: This is the most serious of all the incidents. The former Jets first-round pick was arrested in February in Tennessee after authorities responded to a call at the residence Lee shared with his girlfriend Gabriella Carvalho Perpetuo. She was pronounced dead and Lee was charged with first-degree murder when Perpetuo was found to have suffered severe brain trauma, a broken neck, bruising, bite marks and stab wounds. The potential capital punishment case is pending. Former Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins wide receiver: Tyreek Hill: He's accused of domestic violence in court filings and became the subject of an NFL investigation. The allegations arose from divorce proceedings initiated by his estranged wife, Keeta Vaccaro, who filed for divorce in April, alleging eight separate incidents of domestic violence. Hill, through his attorneys, has denied the allegations. No criminal charges have been filed. None of this paints the NFL in a good light. Many players and coaches around the league are doing great things in their communities throughout the offseason, but every domestic abuse arrest detracts from that, and instead adds to a concern that athletes paid to play a violent sport are too often bringing that violence home.

With everyone still reacting to the news that Texas Tech quarterback Brendan Sorsby has been ruled eligible to play following his gambling scandal, it made me think about just how far the sport has shifted from just a decade prior. Some fans may not realize it, but the pendulum has swung so far in the other direction so quickly it would give anyone whiplash. In just a few short years, we went from Jim Harbaugh being read the riot act for lying about buying recruits some cheeseburgers while at Michigan to players being granted seven years of eligibility or gambling nearly six-figure sums on various sporting events. To illustrate how different the "amateur" sports landscape looks compared to past eras, I'm looking at four of the most absurd reasons college football players were deemed ineligible to play in the past. COLLEGE ATHLETICS INTEGRITY 'LEFT THE BUILDING' AFTER JUDGE LETS SORSBY PLAY DESPITE GAMBLING ADMISSION If Sorsby was caught betting on his own team back in these days, the NCAA probably would have exiled him to Mongolia, but times have changed. Let's take a walk down memory lane, shall we? Colorado wide receiver Jeremy Bloom was a unique two-sport athlete. COLLEGE FOOTBALL COUNTRY SEEKS KEY TAX EXEMPTION FOR ATHLETES TO ENHANCE RECRUITMENT, BOOST TEAM CONTINUITY While most kids are trying to decide if they want to continue playing lacrosse or soccer for some Division II program, Bloom was a wide receiver for a power conference program while simultaneously living out his dream of being an Olympic skier. One of the perks of being an Olympic athlete is, of course, the sponsorship deals that come with it (hello, Wheaties box), but the NCAA thought that was a bridge too far, and deemed Bloom ineligible as long as he was accepting endorsements. Bloom argued he needed the money to be able to afford to train with the U.S. Olympic team in Chile ahead of the 2006 Winter Games, but his appeal was shot down and he had to give up his dream of playing both football and skiing. ATHLETES ON COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF TEAMS ARE EARNING LARGE AMOUNTS OF NIL MONEY When the concept of Name, Image and Likeness was first proposed, this is likely what everyone had in mind: kids being able to make money from endorsements without being smacked down by the NCAA. It obviously got way out of hand, but Jeremy Bloom is the perfect example of how absurd a pre-NIL world looked. Instead of being a two sport athlete, UCF kicker Donald De La Haye was a football player with a YouTube channel. This is something you see quite often these days, as literally every football player fancies himself an amateur content creator, but in the prehistoric ages of checks notes 2017, that kind of thing was frowned upon by the powers that be. After playing for the Knights for a couple of seasons, De La Haye was given a choice by the NCAA: shut the YouTube channel down or give up your scholarship as well as your spot on the team. Surprisingly, De La Haye chose the latter, but not before suing his school in the process. KANSAS STATE'S COLEMAN HAWKINS BREAKS DOWN IN TEARS DISCUSSING NIL BACKLASH: 'I LET A LOT OF PEOPLE DOWN' It ended well for both parties, however, as De La Haye has been invited back to UCF for several events and games, while his YouTube channel, "Deestroying," has amassed over 6.4 million subscribers and nearly 2 billion lifetime views. De La Haye probably made the right call in the long run, as he likely made far more money as a YouTuber than he ever would have being a placekicker for a few years in the CFL. Many people know A.J. Green from his days in the NFL, playing for both the Cincinnati Bengals and Arizona Cardinals while racking up 10,000 receiving yards and seven Pro Bowl selections in the process, but before that, he was a five-star, can't-miss prospect at the University of Georgia. EX-NFL PLAYER SPEAKS OUT AGAINST COLLEGE ATHLETE REVENUE SHARING WITH LANDMARK SUPREME COURT RULING PENDING Green's first two seasons in college went according to script and the lanky downfield threat was as good as advertised, earning first-team All-SEC honors in back-to-back years. During his junior year in 2010, however, Green was introduced to the long arm of the law by way of the NCAA's compliance office. The standout Bulldogs pass-catcher was suspended for the first four games of the season for selling his game-worn Independence Bowl jersey for -- are you ready for this -- a whopping $1,000. The big stink of it all was that Green, whether knowingly or not, sold the jersey to a sports memorabilia collector from North Carolina, but either way, Green being suspended for a third of what would end up being his final collegiate season (and being forced to repay the $1,000 he made to charity) seemed a bit harsh for the crime he committed. It obviously didn't affect his draft stock, as Green went fourth overall in the 2011 NFL Draft, but it still had to sting that his final year with the Bulldogs was cut short over something as petty as a $1,000 payday, something most football players make from one sponsored social media post these days. Before his days as a Pro Bowl wide receiver in the NFL, Dez Bryant was already a legend in the making at Oklahoma State. His 2008 season in particular, in which he caught 19 touchdown passes, is the stuff of legend in Stillwater, so heading into the 2009 campaign, it was widely believed that Bryant would be on the short list of Heisman Trophy contenders. In his first three games of the season, Bryant had 350 receiving yards to go along with four touchdowns, before an all-too familiar foe smacked him down with a brutal punishment. The NCAA ruled Bryant to be ineligible to play college football for a whole calendar year, meaning he wouldn't be able to hit the field for the Cowboys until September 2010. RUTGERS BASKETBALL COACH MOCKS NCAA'S ELIGIBILITY RULES AS DEBATE REIGNITES OVER NBA-EXPERIENCED PLAYERS What did Bryant do to warrant such a harsh penalty? He violated NCAA bylaw 10.1, which includes "unethical conduct." What really happened, though, was that Bryant lied about exchanging phone numbers with former NFL cornerback Deion Sanders and meeting up at his house to work out with him. ZERO BS. JUST DAKICH. TAKE THE DON'T @ ME PODCAST ON THE ROAD. DOWNLOAD NOW! Bryant appealed the ruling which was ultimately denied, and the Oklahoma State legend was forced to watch his team from the couch for the rest of the season before declaring for the NFL Draft. A college kid couldn't even lift weights with one of his idols without getting the hammer dropped on him back in 2009. I realize lying to the NCAA probably isn't the smartest move, but to essentially end Bryant's college career over something so trivial feels like an overreach of authority. It was a controversial ruling even at the time, but with the benefit of hindsight, the NCAA comes off like full-blown dictators in this instance. View the full article
