Stephen A. Smith goes nuclear on Democrats after 'finding something else that they have lied about'
Smith is largely known for sports commentary on ESPN's First Take and recently was rumored to have inked an extension with the network in the range of six years and $120 million. However, he often goes outside the world of sports on The Stephen A. Smith Show, which is independent from the network, and has also appeared on Sean Hannity's show to talk about current events. While typically defined as a liberal, Smith has recently criticized Joe Biden for pardoning his son Hunter and went on the attack about the left again after a Department of Justice report came out about the FBI's role in the events at the Capitol .
Travis Hunter's fiancee appears to fume at Heisman winner for posing with female fans, leaving social media furious
Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter capped off a stellar season by winning college football's highest honor. But throughout the process, his fiancee generated as many headlines as he did. Hunter spent most of the weekend in New York, where the ceremony for the Heisman Trophy takes place, and brought his fiancee Leanna Lenee along with him. But Lenee drew negative attention throughout the weekend - including at the award presentation ceremony, where it appeared that Colorado head coach Deion Sanders patted her on the back to try and get her to stand up once Hunter won the trophy.

JACK GAUGHAN: Manchester City were cruising at the Etihad on Sunday - or cruising as comfortably as a team that had lost seven of their last 10 matches could. Much of the ball, a goal up and Manchester United not threatening in behind as much as expected. But they came out after half time looking to contain rather than press home an advantage. One attempt on goal from inside Andre

Ange Postecoglou could hardly have asked for more from spirited Spurs as Russell Martin's disappearance encapsulates Southampton's mess, writes MATT BARLOW after 5-0 thrashing
MATT BARLOW AT ST MARY'S: Unfortunately for Russell Martin the euphoria of promotion has long since faded, and his tenure as Southampton manager ended with the pain and discomfort of a 45-minute obliteration at the hands of Tottenham. Martin claimed he was prepared to soldier on despite the five-goal thrashing and the calls from vocal Saints fans for him to go throughout the game. 'Sacked in the morning,' crowed his own team's supporters as the contest fizzled out and they held aloft a banner to hammer home their feelings.

UNITED STUN CITY IN EPL
Manchester City 1-2 Manchester United: Amad Diallo seals STUNNING late turnaround for Red Devils to pile misery on Pep Guardiola after star duo were axed by Ruben Amorim
MANCHESTER CITY 1-2 MANCHESTER UNITED - IAN LADYMAN AT THE ETIHAD STADIUM: They did their best here for Pep Guardiola. They sang for him before kick-off. They hung a huge banner carrying his name, face and list of achievements over the lower tier of the huge stand opposite his seat in the dug-out. This was a show of loyalty and support as pre-orchestrated and deliberate as anything we have seen during Guardiola's gilded tenancy at the Etihad Stadium. It spoke of a deep love but also a deep need. But then, like it always does, it all came down to the football. The football always speaks for a manager. It always speaks for his team.

Ruben Amorim warned Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho that he 'pays attention to everything' after he made the shock decision to leave both players out of his squad to take on Manchester City.
