The Afternoon* Fast Break (Dec. 8, 2016): Frank Kaminsky might be a bold-faced liar

You can’t win ‘em all right?

Welcome to today’s edition of The Morning Fast Break. We’re a day removed from Butler being handed their first loss, which didn’t go over too well to say the least.

Frank Kaminsky: Liar liar, plants for hire? (Anonymous Eagle)

I’d hazard a guess there might not be any ill-will here (but in any event, flame away!) but former Marquette Golden Eagle Deonte Burton is starring down in Ames in a big way.

Wright rocked this suit in Houston and at the Palestra (VU Hoops)

VU Hoops’ #SuitWatch captures a familiar look for the man patrolling the court and pushing all the buttons for the Wildcats (Side note: #SuitWatch is great and I won’t hear any other noise about it. Good work, folks).

Actually, we’re a wrestling and baseball blog

The Nationals gave up the farm for Adam Eaton?

Wade Davis is a Cub!

The Wyatts will be using ‘The Freebird Rule.’

Tye Dillinger and The Miz had a Twitter argument and it was great
