data-mm-id=”_zms6c67t1″>Mad Dog Unleashed's annual Super Bowl trivia contest is usually a nice, fun event providing sports radio listeners who have a tremendous amount of knowledge about history an outlet instead of having them cornering uninterested LIRR riders. But this year it's been rocked with scandal. The particulars are a bit unclear to non-listeners yet they don't really matter. Because Chris Russo noticed something untoward happening and laid down the law yesterday as only he can. Here’s radio Hall of Famer @MadDogUnleashed completely losing his mind (and name dropping some guy named Trainer) after someone misrepresented themselves during his Super Bowl trivia contest today. Absolute gold from start to finish. pic.twitter.com/zSxDCiMV3e— Jimmy Traina (@JimmyTraina) February 3, 2023"This is not right," he said. "This is not right to do this. Pretend you're somebody else. Cell phones, it's a joke. You're getting out of the spirit. This is supposed to be fun. You win a trip, you know what, what a miracle. That's what this is supposed to be about. Give people a chance. Maybe do a little work. Not to beat Bill Zimmerman and Chris Russo. Nonsense. I'm going to show you. You are out. You are not winning this trip. You're finished."And he was just getting started. "You call up like that and you misrepresent yourself, you do that to Eddie Erickson, you got him sweating and worried, you gotta get the legal department … you think the legal, with the stock price in the freaking toilet, you think the legal department wants to deal with this nonsense?"Do not mess with this man. He welcomes a fight. He is winning. More people are trying to hire him right now than you can shake a stick at. His fifth son isn't doing anything in particular and could be called into help. New York Times poltical reporter Michael Schmidt was recently a guest and he could really pull some strings. Have some goddamn respect for the rules. Play the game the right way, Jesus. This is surely a tough scene for the schemer who tried to game the system. One imagines Russo is something of a hero to him. You hate to see it on one hand. The other hand, it is hilarious.

Zvonimir Boban has repeated Paolo Maldini s statement that AC Milan will not be able to sign Luka Modric from Real Madrid.
Modric, the 2018 Ballon d Or winner, has been linked with Inter and Milan in recent months, although he appears set to stay in LaLiga.

Following further speculation, Milan s chief football officer Boban reiterated the point.
Twenty days ago, Paolo Maldini declared that Luka Modric will not be a Milan player, he told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Embolo is yet to find the net in two substitute appearances and a start so far in Russia but could provide an alternative at centre-forward for head coach Vladimir Petkovic, where Haris Seferovic and Mario Gavranovic have both failed to impress.

As millions around the world continue to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, one slice of normality has remained the same sport. We re firmly in the February groove and that means we re going to be experiencing a whole lost of games coming at us thick and fast between now and May, which is especially true in the English Premier League. Today, we re going to take a look at a fixture between two teams with very different aspirations this season West Bromwich Albion and Manchester United.
West Brom
West Bromwich Albion seem destined to suffer relegation back down to the Championship, even with a master like Sam Allardyce steering the ship. The games are running out and they re desperate…
Hoping to head into September’s international break with a statement on Saturday lunchtime, Manchester City certainly enjoyed a real flurry as they stormed their way to a 5-0 romp against a struggling Arsenal at the Etihad.
Watching their name drawn in Group A for this year’s Champions League, a group they will share with the likes of RB Leipzig and PSG, the defending English champions put on a real show over the weekend as they managed to extend on what is a rampant record against the Gunners.
Marching on to their ninth straight Premier League victory against Mikel Arteta’s downbeat squad, goals from Ikay Gundogan, Gabriel Jesus, Rodri, and a brace from Ferran Torres wrapped up what quickly turned into a routine home performance.
With Pep Guardiola only p…
Jose Mourinho has left Real Madrid for Chelsea to escape Spanish media pressure, according to football journalist Tim Stannard.
The Spain-based reporter believes Mourinho has left the Spanish giants because he did not enjoy the intense scrutiny which accompanies the hot-seat at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Mourinho will now begin his second spell in charge of Chelsea, where he won successive English Premier League titles in 2005 and 2006, before leaving just two months into the 2007/08 campaign, reportedly following a falling out with billionaire Russian owner Roman Abramovich.
There s a lot less media pressure in England and I think Mourinho underestimated how much there is in Spain, Stannard said.
There are TV stations, 24-hour sports networks looking a…
Liverpool F.C. defender Kolo Toure is reportedly considering his future after being offered a new one-year deal at Anfield.
According to reports, the former Côte d Ivoire international, who retired from international football after winning the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year, wants to stay on Merseyside but is hoping to secure a two-year contract.
After the 2016/17 campaign, Toure is interested in entering management.
It is an ambition of mine to be a manager, Toure told the Liverpool Echo.
I am doing my UEFA B badge right now but it takes time. I am focused on my game because I want to stay playing football for a few years.

The Argentine Football Association (AFA) has announced Jorge Sampaoli will not continue as national team head coach following a chaotic World Cup.
A 3-0 group stage defeat to Croatia following a 1-1 draw with Iceland left Argentina on the brink of a humiliating exit in Russia, before just about squeezing through to the knockout phase thanks to a 2-1 triumph over Nigeria.
That luck failed in the last 16 against France, however, when they were beaten 4-3 by the eventual tournament winners.
Sampaoli got the Argentina job after building a solid reputation in charge of Universidad de Chile, Chile and Sevilla, leaving the Spanish club at the end of the 2016-17 season after guiding them to Champions League football.
Given the regard many held Sampaoli in, the…
A man has been charged over alleged racist behaviour during Manchester City s home Premier League match against Manchester United.
Police responded to complaints over the actions of a spectator during the December 7 match at the Etihad Stadium, where United won 2-1 against their neighbours.
It was alleged he directed racist gestures and sounds towards players.
Greater Manchester Police (GMP) said 41-year-old Anthony Burke would appear at Salford and Manchester Magistrates Court on April 15.
GMP said Anthony Burke of Wythenshawe has been charged with a racially aggravated section 5 public order act.
The police statement added: At around 6.55pm on Saturday 7 December 2019 police were called to a report of a supporter making alleged racist gest…
Charity work is often unreported
Footballers generally get given a hard time by the media and are often viewed as lazy, stupid and greedy by members of the public. (I stand by my observation on Dimitar Berbatov, he may well not be greedy or stupid, but lazy…!)
Good
However, footballers actually do an awful lot of good work in the community that rarely gets the same level of publicity as a footballer having an affair or getting into trouble in a nightclub.
Many clubs have nominated charities and football itself, through Football Aid and other schemes, raises thousands of pounds for worthwhile causes.
Disadvantaged
Players spend a lot of time visiting schools and hospitals and bringing some joy into the lives of particularly disadvantag…
Manchester City and Chelsea defended on Tuesday their combined spending on agents fees of more than 20 million pounds (33.25 million dollars) in just over a year.
Figures released by the English Premier League on Monday covering the period October 1, 2008 to September 30 2009, showed City, backed by the wealth of UAE-based owner Sheikh Mansour, led the top flight in agent fees spending with an outlay of 12,874,283 pounds (21,411,165 dollars).
Meanwhile Chelsea were second in the agent fees table with 9,562,223 pounds (15,903,690 dollars).
Sheikh Mansour has invested huge sums in City, sanctioning a British record 32.5-million-pounds (54.05 million dollars) capture of Robinho and spending in excess of 120 million pounds (199,584,000 dollars) on new players during…
