Immanuel Quickley had been with the Toronto Raptors for less than three months when his beloved uncle Shawn Hamilton died. Even though he was relatively new to the organization, about a dozen members of the Raptors made the trip to attend Hamilton’s funeral. It was an act of kindness and respect that Quickley will always appreciate. “They didn’t have to do that,” said Quickley on Monday after practice at the OVO Athletic Centre. “Love is an action not just words. It’s not just something that you say, it’s something that you do and they’ve definitely shown that.” …

Although some rolled there eyes when Jerry Jones and company decided to fire Kellen Moore at the end of last season — as he’s regarded as one of the up and coming young and brilliant offensive minds — head coach Mike McCarthy took over play calling and the Dallas Cowboys offense looked elite for the majority of the year.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy may officially be able to pay for his wedding and own his own home now after receiving his incentive pay from 2023. And no, this isn’t an April Fools joke.
