You’ll never guess who asked Steve Kerr’s doppelgänger for a photo Fun one from @blakesilverman: si.com/nba/warriors/he-looks…

He looks just like Steve Kerr, yet the similarities are anything but superficial. Chatted with Steve Gillis, the viral Kerr lookalike, about his own coaching background, how far back the comparisons go, a wild Pete Carroll encounter and more. On @SInow: si.com/nba/warriors/he-looks…

1. Tape Sports Illustrated covers to your childhood bedroom wall. 2. Wait a few decades. 3. Have the most legendary voice in sports ask you to do a show. 4. Try to act casual. The Story, weekdays at 9 a.m. on SI TV, starting Monday.

A stat to sum up the Vikings’ odd 10-game winning streak: The Vikings are the first team in the Super Bowl era to win 10 straight games over two seasons without a playoff appearance sandwiched in between.

The last two teams to do that ^ but 9 straight wins: the 2010-11 Lions and … 2002-03 Vikings. Those Lions won their final four games in 2010 and started 5-0 in ’11. The ’02 Vikes won their final three games, and the ’03 squad started 6-0 (don’t look up how that season ended)

Boom, Roasted: The Kings Deserve Better Than Owner’s Odd Michael Scott Impression at Team Dinner

Vivek Ranadivé’s preseason speech to the Kings reportedly turned into a “roast,” which was ... quite the choice given his rocky tenure in Sacramento.
