“But it’s also like you’re doing a disservice to Chauncey Billups, who is, number one, a grown man, an adult, and accepted this job knowing he was going to have to answer some hard questions.

There’s Dak at the top and then the rest of the division is wayyy behind him. Before then, he was on a blistering pace, largely because the only chance the Cowboys had to win was to put up huge numbers because of how bad their defense was. And with receivers like Amari Cooper, CeeDee Lamb […]
I watched Chauncey Billups in person win multiple state titles as a high schooler in CO, play at Allen Fieldhouse as leader of the CU Buffs, and play as a Nug at Staples in the WCF.

“These were the Lakers, a dream team recalibrated: Bryant and O’Neal in their primes, Gary Payton and Karl Malone in the twilight of their careers, heavy favorites to win the franchise’s fourth title in five years. Billups is going to need all the leadership skills he can muster in Portland. Portland had become so reliant […]

6 pick in the draft and Simms thought the Birds should gamble on taking a quarterback with that pick. “I never evaluated Jalen Hurts through my process — and I know he’s a fine young man and he’s got charisma and leadership skills and all that — but there’s just nothing that I ever saw […]
The 18-player roster was announced on Wednesday, and includes 17 athletes who were part of the 2019 squad that won the FIFA Women’s World Cup.

8, so he couldn’t join his newest team until training camp had already started. We had our exit meeting just now and business is business, at the end of the day, but even though I was here for a short amount of time, this is like a family to me. Right now, I haven’t had […]
Tokyo will be the Olympic debut of Adrianna Franch, who is likely to serve as backup goalie behind Naeher at the Games.

The Seattle Seahawks will welcome fans back to Lumen Field at full capacity for the 2021 NFL season. And when we didn’t have the fans, you could tell it was different… It taught me how not to take fans for granted, but how to be able to enjoy and be appreciative that people are actually […]
This coming training camp will be the 50th of Reese’s career, so he’s seen a lot. “In 50 years, I’ve seen a lot of wide receivers and I’ve seen great ones like Harold Carmichal, who’s going into the Hall of Fame, and my partner in the booth, Mike Quick, who went to five Pro Bowls. While […]
The only other players in NFL history with three straight games with a TD pass, 60 rushing yards and a 5.5 average at any point in their career are Tobin Rote in 1951, Randall Cunningham in 1990, Michael Vick in 2004 and Lamar Jackson in 2019. One of new defensive coordinator Jonathan Gannon’s biggest challenges this year […]
Green said he has “never played with a guy like” DeAndre Hopkins during a recent appearance on On the Fly and he’s spent the last few months getting used to someone else being the top player on the depth chart. Green missed 23 games over 2018 and 2019, but returned to play every game last season. […]
Simmons was just 21 when he became the first NBA rookie since Oscar Robertson 57 years earlier to average 15 points, 8 rebounds and 8 assists.
