'Roger that!': Tom Brady takes a jab at NFL Commissioner Goodell in a post-Super Bowl LI commercial.

Brandon Ingram had to laugh it off.

An airball is one thing, but his airball from the free-throw line on the Lakers’ first possession drew the unforgiving ire of the crowd at Madison Square Garden on Monday night.

A different kind of player might have let that start dictate the course of the rest of the game. But Ingram   balled it up like a piece of paper, threw it away and then rose to the challenge before him.

“Soon as it came off my hand I knew it was short,” Ingram said with a small chuckle. “Mentally I was just trying to get back out there.

Former USC coach Steve Sarkisian is leaving the Alabama Crimson Tide to become offensive coordinator for the Atlanta Falcons.

In one comment Monday, the most polarizing coach in the NFL demonstrated why he is loved by some and despised by others.

“As great as today feels… we’re five weeks behind the other teams for the 2017 season,” the New England Patriots’ Bill Belichick said, scarcely 10 hours after the Patriots pulled off the biggest comeback in Super Bowl history, miraculously erasing a 25-point deficit to defeat the Atlanta Falcons, 34-28, for a fifth Lombardi Trophy.

Tom Brady’s wife wants him to retire from the NFL.

Gisele Bundchen has told her husband so multiple times since he led the New England Patriots to a dramatic victory over the Atlanta Falcons in Super Bowl LI at 39 ½ years old.

But don’t worry, Patriots fans. Your quarterback shot that idea down every time.

“If it was up to my wife, she would have me retire today,” Brady related to Jim Miller on his Sirius XM show Monday. “She told me that last night three times. And I said, ‘Too bad, babe, I’m having too much fun right now.’

Luke Walton chats with Magic Johnson, who'll have an advisory role with the Lakers, and the coach says, "I was excited to hear that he wants in."

Steve Sarkisian's strange behavior in the days surrounding high-pressure, high-profile college football games isn't unique to his time at USC.

Some regarded the coach's conduct, specifically the use of alcohol, as an issue during his five seasons leading the University of Washington's program.

UPDATE: USC fires Steve Sarkisian

Sarkisian's lone court record in Washington state is a routine speeding ticket and he wasn't publicly disciplined by the university.
