It’s almost always funny to see NBA players posing for pictures with other athletes: the height disparity is usually more than noticeable, but one pair of sports stars took it to a whole other level.

Simone Biles Takes Photo With Shaq

Ahead of Super Bowl LI on Sunday, gold-medal winning U.S. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles took a photo with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. The picture may seem fake at first but it’s completely real, and Biles tweeted it:

That’s a great photo, and the 4-foot-9, 19-year-old Biles looks tiny compared to the towering Shaq.

Golf player John Daly also recently took a photo of himself with a tall, former NBA star: Chinaman Yao Ming. Daly also shared the picture on Twitter, saying in one of his hashtags: “His putter is as long as my driver” (all in one word).

Both seem like great opportunities.

Biles also introduced the “Ragged Old Flag” video before Sunday’s Super Bowl. The clip, introduced by Biles and singer Harry Belafonte, featured picturesque scenes across the United States while Johnny Cash’s song of the same name played in the background.

The video’s main intent seemed to be to remind us that, no matter how great our differences in political views may be, we are still one nation.

Following a brief message from Belafonte regarding the rights of all Americans, Biles states: “Our forefathers got it right 240 years ago. Equality, freedom, they belong to us all. And in case we falter in our ways, they wrote it down for us to always remember and cherish. We, as Americans, have a duty to uphold and protect those rights. That is what unifies us. And the symbol of our unity has 50 stars and 13 stripes.”

Here is the video:

The video was just one of the many politically-charged commercials that aired before or during this year’s Super Bowl as a reflection of the turbulent and divisive times America currently finds itself in.

For Dallas Cowboys fans who suffered through a terrible 4-12 season in 2015, seeing a healthy Tony Romo take the practice field has to be a sight for sore eyes.

Tony Romo Shrugs Off ‘Overweight’ Photo

Nevertheless, a picture of the quarterback running out to the Cowboys’ practice field Saturday was tweeted by Dallas Morning News reporter Jon Machota and showed what looked like an overweight Romo. The internet immediately went insane, with fans posting memes and comments galore.

Thankfully, Romo appears to have a good sense of humor regarding unflattering photos like this one, since he simply laughed it off.

“I don’t think you have a future in photography,” Romo told Machota on Monday after the Cowboys’ training camp practice in Oxnard, Calif.

The picture seems to have caught Romo, 36, at a bad angle. Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said Monday that Romo is in great shape.

“I think he’s in some of the best shape he’s been in,” Jones said. “Everybody can always get a picture taken of you that makes it look different than it is.”

Romo played in just four games last year due to a broken clavicle.

“I think I’ve gone through enough criticism at different times in my career that that’s the least of my worries,” Romo said on Monday. “Granted, if I was that big, I think we’d have to have some talks. I think I’m going to be all right.”

This is not the first time an NFL player has been shown to be overweight in a photo. Green Bay Packers running back Eddie Lacy was called fat by many after a photo of him in training camp surfaced during his rookie season in 2013. A photo of New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick also surfaced last month that showed him with friends at a golf club in New Jersey.

They say the camera adds 10 pounds, and although one shouldn’t always take that to be literally true, body distortions can often appear in photos.

“I hope they don’t take any pictures of me,” Cowboys offensive coordinator Scott Linehan said after confirming Romo is in great shape. “I don’t think anyone would be interested in me. I’d be embarrassed. They could shoot a lot of holes in my beauty. I stay in my lane, try to take care of myself and stay out of pictures if I can.”

Cowboys great and Hall of Famer Michael Irvin also commented on the photo of Romo, and Yahoo! senior NFL reporter Charles Robinson relayed his comment in a tweet on Saturday.

Hopefully, that should be a credible enough source to put the franchise’s fans at ease.

Isaiah Crowell has already apologized for posting an Instagram photo of a police officer being killed, and his team has told him that’s not enough.

Browns RB Isaiah Crowell To Donate Game Check To Police Charity

Therefore, the 23-year-old Cleveland Browns running back has vowed to donate his first game check of the season to the Dallas Fallen Officer Foundation, which supports policemen killed in duty like the five last week. Crowell posted the photo– which appeared to be a drawing of an officer getting his throat slashed by an attacker– before the Dallas shooting as a response to the police shootings in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Falcon Heights, Minnesota.

“I would never wish violence on anyone, especially a police officer,” Crowell said in a video posted on TMZ. “I’m sorry to all the Browns fans, all the people who support my career and all the kids out there who look up to me. But most of all, all the good police officers who are out there protecting us every day. By posting that picture, I became part of the problem. And I don’t want to be part of the problem, I want to be part of the solution.

“I know this may not change your mind about me, and I can’t take the post back. But I’m sorry, and moving forward, I’m committed to being part of the solution.”

Crowell is reportedly scheduled to earn $600,000 this year, which would put his donation at $35,294. He said raw emotion took over when he posted the image.

Speaking with TMZ, Cleveland Police Patrolmen’s Association president Stephen Loomis explained why he decided to forgive Crowell.

“I appreciate the apology and we accept it,” Loomis said. “People are allowed to make mistakes in life. Our problem was that first apology. It wasn’t sincere. But Isaiah stepped up to the plate to make a personal apology, and we definitely appreciate his donation to the Fallen Officers Foundation.”

Loomis had initially rejected the running back’s apology, and even threatened to prevent police from working at Browns home games this year. However, Crowell’s video and donation promise changed his mind.

Loomis added that he’d “love to work with Isaiah in the future.”

Browns linebacker Paul Kruger tweeted his support for his teammate on Tuesday night.

Cleveland police chief Calvin Williams said that Crowell apologized to him in a call Tuesday.

Cleveland Browns running back Isaiah Crowell apologized Monday for posting a disturbing photo on Instagram, although the team has said his apology is insufficient and should be followed up with ‘positive steps.’

Browns RB Isaiah Crowell Apologizes After Posting Gruesome Pic Of Cop Getting Throat Slashed

On Wednesday, Crowell posted a photo depicting a police officer having his throat slashed by an attacker, and then quickly deleted it, although it began spreading on Twitter.

The caption read, “They give police all types of weapons and they continually choose to kill us….#Weak” in reference to the recent shooting deaths of men in Louisiana and Minnesota by police.

The picture comes in the wake of two separate incidents of two black men being shot by police: Arlon Sterling in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Philando Castile in Falcon Heights, Minnesota. The shootings occurred on Tuesday and Wednesday, respectively.

The shootings have sparked a series of ‘Black Lives Matter’ protests all across the country, including one in Dallas on Thursday, which culminated in five policemen being killed by a sniper.

The Browns released a statement Monday saying Crowell, 23, must back up his apology with action.

“We have spoken to Isaiah regarding his extremely disturbing and unacceptable social media decision,” the Browns said in the statement, attributed to a team spokesman. “It was completely inappropriate and we have made him aware of our high level of disappointment.  Isaiah has apologized but also knows that just an apology is insufficient and that he must take steps to make a positive difference after a very negative and impactful post.”

Many fans and some media, including ESPNCleveland’s Bruce Hooley, have called for harsh punishment for Crowell or even his immediate dismissal from the Browns.

“The image was inappropriate and insensitive,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said in an email response. “He realized this, took down the post and has since apologized.”

The running back, who posted the image the day before the Dallas ambush and not in response to it, acknowledged how inappropriate his action was.

“Last week was an emotional and difficult week as we saw extreme acts of violence against black men across our country as well as against police officers in Dallas,” Crowell wrote. “I posted an image to Instagram in the midst of that emotion that I shouldn’t have and immediately removed it. It was an extremely poor decision and I apologize for that mistake and for offending people.

“My values and beliefs do not match that image. I am outraged and upset by the deaths of Alton Sterling and Philando Castile along with so many others.  I am also outraged and saddened by the attacks in Dallas and the deaths of the five honorable police officers (Lorne Ahrens, Michael Krol, Michael J. Smith, Brent Thompson and Patrick Zamarripa) who were providing protection while trying to keep peace.”

He then continued:

“We have to be better as a society, it’s not about color, it’s about what’s right and wrong. I was very wrong in posting that image. Every single life matters, every death as a result of violence should be treated with equal outrage and penalty.”

Crowell signed as an undrafted free agent with the Browns in 2014 after playing collegiately at Georgia and Alabama State. He was named SEC Freshman of the Year at Georgia in 2011. Over the course of his career, he has compiled 1,313 rushing yards in 333 attempts, 13 touchdowns, 28 receptions and 269 receiving yards.

Retired boxing champion Floyd Mayweather drew attention after he appeared in a series of photos with a 19-year-old British teen named Raemarni Ball, leading many to suspect Ball is his new girlfriend.

However, the girl’s mother, Mandy Ball, was one of the first to shut down the rumors that the two are romantically linked, and stated that they are just friends. She said it is ‘daft’ to think her daughter is dating the 39-year-old boxer, and backs up claims that the New Look shop assistant is dating AA car mechanic Andre Brown, also 19.

She said: “She’s only 19 and she’s got a boyfriend. I have spoken to her since she landed and she says she is having a whale of a time. Floyd asked her if she wanted a holiday in America and why would she refuse. It’s the trip of a lifetime.”

The pair reportedly met at an expensive fan meet-and-greet in Cannock, a town north of Birmingham, England on Feb. 12, and have been inseparable friends ever since. Ball reportedly paid 600 pounds (about $869) to meet Mayweather.

Given Mayweather’s history of how he treats women, Ball’s mother and numerous others were understandably concerned when the photos surfaced.

Ball has since been trotting the globe with the former boxing champ.
