met the NBA legend. Touching base on several topics ahead of the Sky’s first game of the new season against the Dallas Wings on May 15, the rookie forward, who turned 22 on Monday, shared her desire to hopefully chat with the former Chicago Bullsguard – a six-time NBA champion – one day soon. ‘There are so many great players that have come before us here. Candace [Parker] being retired. Michael Jordan,’ Reese told WGN News. ‘I want Michael Jordan to come to a game. I’m telling you right now. I want Michael Jordan to come to a game. ‘I’ve never…
As the offseason begins for the Los Angeles Lakers, one of the biggest moves still to be made is hiring the team’s new Head Coach. After Darvin Ham and his entire coaching staff were let go following LA’s first round playoff exit, Ham along with all his assistants will need to be replaced. We know that the organization has already been considering several candidates for the position. According to NBA Insider Shams Charania, the Lakers’ ongoing coaching search includes candidates such as Mike Budenholzer, Kenny Atkinson, JJ Redick, Tyronn Lue, Charles Lee, David Adelman, James Borrego, and Jason Kidd. Currently…
The Phoenix Suns have surprisingly fired head coach Frank Vogel after just one season on the job. ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski was the first to report the news. This comes following a 49-33 season that culminated in a first-round sweep at the hands of the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2024 NBA Playoffs. When owner Mat Ishbia refused to commit to Vogel after meeting with the now-ousted head coach late last week, some could see this coming. For Phoenix, the move comes less than a calendar year after it signed Vogel to a five-year, $31 million contract. To say that Vogel’s only…
1 overall in the 2025 NFL Draft on several mock drafts. He was selected to the All-SEC first-team in 2023 and is regarded as the top returning defensive prospect across college football.
After battling an injury to his right Achilles for over a month heading into the Super Bowl, Greenlaw tore his left Achillesduring the second quarter of San Francisco’s overtime loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. It was a devastating end to a great season for the fifth-year pro, who spoke on Thursday about the emotions he still goes through thinking about the injury. Sometimes you get a little flashback and shed a couple of tears thinking about it,” Greenlaw said, per Matt Maiocco. “It’s definitely an emotional thing because you know how hard you worked for that moment, how hard…
The Dallas Cowboys could certainly use some wide receiver help behind CeeDee Lamb, but they haven’t really addressed the problem this offseason. Dallas cut Michael Gallup, leaving Brandin Cooks and not a whole lot more behind Lamb. It should also be noted that Cooks was a pretty significant disappointment for the club in 2023. So, why have the Cowboys failed to remedy this issue? Obviously, Dallas has serious financial constraints, which is the reason why the club didn’t go after Derrick Henry or any of the other top-tier running backs on the free-agent market. It’s also a big reason why…
The Toronto Maple Leafs have fired head coach Sheldon Keefe. General manager Brad Treliving made the announcement Thursday after the Original Six franchise lost to the Boston Bruins in seven games in the first round of the Stanley Cup playoffs. Keefe had a 212-97-40 record over parts of five campaigns in Toronto, but was just 16-21 in the post-season, including a 1-5 series record. Despite finally getting the organization over a painful playoff hump last spring when the Leafs advanced for the first time in nearly two decades, Keefe was unable to keep that momentum going. Toronto bowed out in…
Nick Harris: You’re onto something by seeing that the Cowboys got bigger and more physical coming out of the draft than they were going into it. Yes, a couple of positions were not addressed, but size, physicality and play in the trenches saw a significant uptick. Half of the picks were spent at the line of scrimmage and the other half saw them bring in tough skill players on both sides of the ball. If the Cowboys don’t want a repeat of what happened in San Francisco or Buffalo or at home against Green Bay last year, that’s a solid start.…
Now that the draft has been completed teams and analysts are taking stock of the rookies and which ones are poised to contribute right away. For the Baltimore Ravens, there could be a few options but according to Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine it could be edge rusher Adisa Isaac that could be amongst the “Surprising Rookie Gems”. Ballentine wrote, “Every year, there are rookies who come from nowhere to stand out in their draft class. This season will be no exception.” The Ravens drafted Isaac with the 93rd overall pick in the third-round after addressing CB and OT with their first couple picks. The…
It’s only been a week since Edmonton Oilers last played a game, but it feels like a month. Consider that by the time the puck finally drops at 8:20pm MDT, the Boston Bruins will have played Games 6, 7, 1 and 2 in the lengthy interval since the Oilers mopped up the L.A. Kings in Game 5. Let’s get this show on the road. Article content Any price the Vancouver Canucks might have paid by losing their own chance to close out their first round series at home has surely dissipated. The Vancouverites had to make the longest same-conference…
