Dear Brock, Quit being petty. Sincerely, David. The end. PHOTOS: Best of Broncos-Panthers Super Bowl 50 matchup OK, to elaborate … Pettiness is not a completely negative attribute. It’s practically essential in big-time sports, and mandatory for NFL players, especially quarterbacks who, if they don’t actually have something to prove, have to trick themselves into believing they have something to prove.

As satisfying as it had to be to get a huge contract from the Texans and to earn their trust as their franchise quarterback, sticking it to the Broncos is probably even more satisfying....
The 25-year-old Osweiler, who left the Broncos to sign with the Texans as a free agent in the offseason, threw an interception on the Texans’ first possession. To be fair, Tracy Porter made a great play on the pass intended for DeAndre Hopkins.

Here’s look at the big playoff picture in both conferences: AFC Denver Broncos (9-2). After falling in New England, they first need to take care of the AFC West in Kansas City this week and then focus on winning out through a weak slate to hold off the Patriots.

If they did, maybe they’d look like this: Those are the giveaways at the Single-A Brooklyn Cyclones’ game at Coney Island on Thursday, where they’ll go to the first 3,000 fans in attendance. They’re sponsored by Dominos, and yet are not pizza-themed. This is a tragedy. They don’t look much like the worst jerseys in the recent history of major North American sports, though, so that’s a plus.
This matchup was going to be an enticing one if both teams were at full strength. However, Durant’s issues with the NBA’s health and safety protocols have changed the complexion of this duel between two of the East’s elite teams. The Philadelphia 76ers currently sit at the top of the NBA Eastern Conference, with a 16-7 record. They are, however, coming off a 117-123 defeat against the Toronto Raptors....
