And on top of all of that, how players perform in desperate moments typically ends up as the basis for how their careers are judged, however fair or unfair that may be. With a knee injury sidelining two-time Finals MVP Kawhi Leonard, the expectations for the Clippers are perhaps the lowest they’ve been since Leonard […]
The pair reportedly split for several years, separating in April 2017, according to Us Weekly. Neither Carmelo nor La La have commented publicly on the reports, though each has been active on social media recently. In 69 games, he averaged 13.4 points, 3.1 rebounds and 1.5 assists on 42.1% shooting and 40.9% from three. …Read […]
We open a can of worms with you and say, ‘You can film this, but can’t film that,’ then we have to spend all of our time policing whether you pushed it over the line or not and showed a two-man route combination, or showed a complete play, that we don’t want our opponent to […]
Addae developed Smith into an All-American at West Virginia while also building the Mountaineer pass defense into one of the best in the nation. Georgia uses the star as a hybrid of safety, cornerback, and linebacker, and Smith’s playing style is a hybrid of those three positions. Whether it’s a running back going up the […]
George and the Clippers get a chance to close out the series at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Friday night. George’s numbers were historic. He played two seasons at Oklahoma City, and is now in his second year with the Clippers. I know a lot of great players that have bad series or […]
No longer will players huddle around a TV, praying they are hoisting a trophy and betting on their schedule to carry weight. Naturally, it becomes boring watching the same three, plus a wild card always representing the New Year’s Eve shindig. If your record is good enough, the consolation prize is competing for the national […]
And Kawhi Leonard, who had arguably been the best postseason performer in the league to that point, would not be available after suffering a knee injury late in Game 4. We’ve been in these situations before, but guys had to step up and be ready to play. In addition to George’s night — something we’ll […]
The first baseman had spent seven years and 572 games in the Yankees’ minor league system before finally getting a major league promotion. Ford mashed 11 dingers over the final two months of the season, giving the Yankees some hope that he could be an impact, left-handed bat moving froward, if only in a limited […]
A first-round pick of the New York Jets in the 2016 NFL Draft, the 6-foot-1 and 232-pound Lee was the lowest-graded inside linebacker in the NFL during his rookie season. The Jets declined Lee’s fifth-year option in 2019 and subsequently traded him to the Kansas City Chiefs, with whom he won Super Bowl LIV, though […]
Some of what Brandon Staley’s doing to build a bond with his quarterback is pretty informal, stuff no one would think twice about. You get these stories every spring, when a new coach gets hired and tied to a young, ascending quarterback, and Staley’s not the only one on the staff making this kind of […]
Raised in Prince George’s County, MD—a basketball hotbed that served as the childhood home for Kevin Durant, Victor Oladipo and the late Len Bias—Green exited his high school career in the spring of 2004 with a flurry of programs looking to add the 6′ 9″ star. The son of Georgetown legend John Thompson took over […]
A pair of playoff teams suffered potentially season-altering injuries , a couple of coaches are gone, a team president, too, and before the close of business the NBA’s biggest star took to Twitter to give the league another headache. This news, first reported by The Athletic, was stunning: Paul, days removed from a 25-point, 10-assist […]
We hit some of them, but we’re just trying to be more consistent this year, and that’s where the strides happen. “Man, because we fell short three years in a row since I’ve been here,” Jackson said. I’m going to work, but I chill just focusing on that if that makes sense. …Read the full […]
The Denver Broncos made some tectonic changes to their running back corps since the 2021 calendar year began. Lindsay signed a one-year deal with the Houston Texans, which positioned Melvin Gordon as the unquestioned, understood running back No. In perhaps not the wisest decision, Gordon opted to skip the Broncos’ voluntary OTAs, giving rise to […]
“I feel good with where I am right now, but obviously like I said, there is a lot of work to be done. That is the good part about this team is we have built relationships and friendships now that the communication is very open and honest. Last year, when the team was unable to […]
Think of it like the Miss American pageant. “I would say this, when you are the No. There had been some confusion over this because Fields’ lack of experience could have been viewed as a reason to make Foles the backup for at least the first few games. “But as far as the depth chart […]
“I think there are very specific skill sets that you need in your room,” the veteran coach said. “When I look at an NFL room, it has to have all of those abilities … You may have two guys with similar abilities, so maybe you split carries. That said, it’s now June 16 and Ertz […]
We’re letting them all roll, everybody is getting reps, we want this thing to be really competitive. It is also especially important to remember that head coach Urban Meyer has yet to name a starter, so it was always unlikely for one of his assistants to be the first to do so. Even with Schottenheimer’s […]
