The Chicago Sky’s victory against the 2023 WNBA runner-ups came one night after Reese attended fashion’s biggest night at New York City’s Metropolitan Museum of Art on Monday, May 6. Drawing inspiration from the Costume Institute’s “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion” exhibit and the night’s “Garden of Time” dress code, Reese glittered on the Met red carpet in a mint green 16Arlington by Marco Capaldo gown. Her dress’ V-neck bodice and sheer skirt featured intricate floral designs, while the waistline was covered in fluffy feathers. In addition to rocking a matching pair of mint green Stuart Weitzman heels, Reese completed her…
The Chicago Bulls’ offseason could largely hinge on one move. There is mutual interest in bringing DeMar DeRozan back in free agency. Nikola Vucevic is locked in for two more years. The only player with major trade value to the Bulls is two-time All-Star Zach LaVine. They have tried to offload LaVine over the last two seasons but to no avail. His injury history – he only appeared in 25 games this season – and exorbitant salary have been hindrances. LaVine is owed nearly $140 million through 2026-27 on a five-year, $215.1 million contract. “It might pain the Bulls’ brass…
With the NFL draft behind them and a new star-studded cast on offense, the Chicago Bears have the rest of the summer to address a couple of holes on the defensive line. Chicago potentially has the money to sign a big name, with almost $23 million in salary cap space available. The bigger problem with that approach, though, is that there aren’t any true studs available in late-stage free agency — at least none without a meaningful question or two involving age, injury or some other wart on their game that’s hard to miss. The solution, then, is more likely…

Speaking on a recent episode of the Point Forward podcast, Turner explained why he believes Budenholzer would…
After turning Oregon into an offensive powerhouse in college football, Kelly agreed to terms with the Eagles to become the team’s head coach on January 16, 2013. Although general manager Howie Roseman ran the team’s drafts and free agency signings in his first two seasons with the team, Kelly had the final say over the 53-man roster. His predecessor, Andy Reid, also had the title and/or powers of general manager for most of his tenure. Two of Chip Kelly’s former players have accused the ex- Eagles head coach of being uncomfortable with black players. Kelly’s time in charge of the…
The Philadelphia Eagles have completely transformed the organization since Chip Kelly was the team’s head coach from 2013-2015. After turning Oregon into an offensive powerhouse in college football, Kelly agreed to terms with the Eagles to become the team’s head coach on January 16, 2013.

The Chicago Sky are full-fledged into a new era. They’ve brought in Teresa Weatherspoon, a head coach who has been part of the WNBA since its inception but is new to the league in a coaching role. General Manager Jeff Pagliocca is also new to his role, although very familiar with the league, the Chicago Sky, and its players through his player development background. The team even has three players presently on the roster that are brand new to the league, by way of the 2024 WNBA Draft. Newness often breeds a level of ambiguity, but said ambiguity…
