Dr. Kesler noted Braylon to have a linear bruise and patterned abrasions consistent with the history given by Braylon of being struck with a belt numerous times by his father. The report goes on to say the injuries were "consistent with Braylon being struck with the buckle end of the belt ... with excessive force, resulting in soft tissue injuries such as bruising and abrasions.

And the report indicates Dr. Kesler found the injuries lasted longer than 24 hours and were "consistent with a medical diagnosis of physical abuse.

It is troubling to see a mother use her son as a pawn against his father, which is what is happening in this case. Dwight Howard will continue to act in the best interest of his children and do whatever is necessary to protect their welfare and best interests.

Jason Collins Is Retiring From The NBA

In a heartfelt column for Sports Illustrated , the 35-year-old center announced his intent to retire during Wednesday’s Bucks versus Nets game.

After 13 years in the NBA, free agent Jason Collins will officially retire at the Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets.

After 13 years in the NBA, free agent Jason Collins will officially retire at the Barclays Center, home of the Brooklyn Nets.

Usa Today Sports / Reuters / Reuters

Collins became the first active out gay player in men's professional sports in early 2014. He was signed to the Nets in a series of 10-day contracts, then through the rest of the season.

The day will be especially meaningful for me because the Nets will be playing the Bucks, who are coached by Jason Kidd, my former teammate and my coach in Brooklyn. It was Jason who cheered my decision to come out by posting on Twitter: "Jason's sexuality doesn't change the fact that he is a great friend and was a great teammate."

Considering all the speculation about problems I might face within the locker room, Jason's support was significant. It had been argued that no team would want to take on a player who was likely to attract a media circus from the outset and whose sexuality would be a distraction. I'm happy to have helped put those canards to rest. The much-ballyhooed media blitz to cover me unscrambled so quickly that a flack jokingly nicknamed me Mr. Irrelevant.

After Collins publicly announced that he is gay, a few more athletes came out. Most notably was Michael Sam, the SEC Defensive Player of the Year who was drafted in the final round of the NFL draft in 2014, then cut from the Rams' and Cowboys' practice squads. Conner Mertens, a kicker for Willamette University in Oregon, became the first active out gay player in college football. Later, Derrick Gordon became the first out gay player in NCAA D-1 basketball. He currently plays for UMass, where he is on the active roster.

Speculating on sports: equal parts fun and foolish.

As sports fans, we love only one thing more than the unpredictability of football: making predictions about outcomes. Speculation makes fools of us all, but there's a certain joy in looking back at mid-season predictions after all is said and done.

Papa John's Pizza Had To Change A Promotion Because The Sixers Can't Manage To Win One Game

The Sixers are serving up some terrible ball.

In October, the Philadelphia 76ers and Papa John's Pizza announced a partnership called, "Sixers Win, You Win."

In October, the Philadelphia 76ers and Papa John's Pizza announced a partnership called, "Sixers Win, You Win."

Twitter: @sixers

The concept seems simple enough, right? An NBA team wins a game — something they're expected to do 20-50 times per year — and fans get to celebrate by paying 50% less to demolish a pizza or two in the name of victory.

Papa John's has a few different promotions with professional sports teams: New Yorkers can get 50% off pizza the day after the Yankees score at least six runs; Heat fans also get 50% off after wins. Peyton Manning owns a bunch of Papa John's locations and is now making a hell of a lot of money as a second income thanks to legally high Coloradans buying up Papa John's Frito Chili Pizza and whatnot.

But, there's a problem:

But, there's a problem:

basketball-reference.com

The Sixers have lost their first eleven games of the 2014 NBA season. So, not only are the Sixers denying their weary fans the simple taste of victory, they're making them pay full-price to stifle their sorrows with slices.

Even worse, there's no telling when this Sixers team will get it together to beat someone. Anyone. I mean, Joel-Hans Embiid, their highest paid player, is an injury-prone 20-year-old who is yet to play a game due to a foot injury.

From knee push-ups to AMRAP #beastmode.

You're sick of your regular gym routine. You're getting nowhere.

Literally. Running 6 miles on the treadmill = staying in the same spot for an hour.

Your crazy friend suggests you try CrossFit. Uhhh....

UGH. She has been trying to talk you into it for months, but you stop listening every time she starts using those weird made-up words. (WOD? Wad of what?)

Eventually that crazy friend becomes insufferable, and you go to a free intro class. To shut her up.

Ray Rice Could Be Reinstated Today Or Tomorrow

The NFL Players Association is arguing he was punished twice for the same incident.

A decision on whether Ray Rice will be reinstated as an NFL player is expected to come "before Thanksgiving."

A decision on whether Ray Rice will be reinstated as an NFL player is expected to come " before Thanksgiving ."

Sean Gardner / Reuters

When TMZ released the now-infamous surveillance tape of Ray Rice knocking his then-fianceé, now-wife, Janay Rice, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell claimed it showed an incident that appeared different, and more severe, than the one described to him by the running back in a meeting earlier this year. After the video became public, Goodell suspended Rice indefinitely and he was cut by the Ravens.

Rice maintains he described the incident accurately in his first meeting with Goodell. Ravens General Manager Ozzie Newsome reportedly corroborated Rice's story. Still, after that meeting, he was only suspended for two games. It was a controversial move that called into question the league's inconsistent manner of doling out suspensions, and led to an overhaul of the league's Personal Conduct Policy.

The NFLPA argued to a retired judge that Rice was punished twice for the same incident. Football pundits have suggested Goodell handed Rice the indefinite suspension as a way to repair his and the league's own image in the wake of the video's release. The NFLPA's argument that Goodell was fully informed on the situation prior to its release would be consistent with that argument.

A reinstatement would allow a team to sign him, however, that's highly unlikely to happen this season, partially because the league has been hit by a series of player conduct scandals and the attention brought on Rice's new team would be a distraction. There are a few teams in the league, however, who could probably use some depth on their running back roster. But at nearly 28 years old, Rice's skill as a player dropped off significantly in 2013.

The NFLPA has not announced how they will proceed if the arbitrator does not rule for reinstatement.
