Gonzaga hoops star Drew Timme won't take advantage of extra eligibility: 'I’m moving on'

Though he's been with the 'Zags for a long time and has been a great player for the program, don't expect star Drew Timme to play for Gonzaga any further past this season, though.

The man in charge of the athletic department at one of the biggest brands in the ACC has expressed discontent with the state of the conference. 

The Packers reportedly think Jordan Love can be a capable starter with 'considerable upside'

Jordan Love and Aaron Rodgers are going to be tied at the hip for the rest of time. Ironically, the same could have been said for Rodgers and his predecessor, Brett Favre, when the Green Bay Packers decided to move on from Favre in favor of Rodgers back in 2008.

Iowa basketball star Caitlin Clark has been incredible for the Hawkeyes

Caitlin Clark is special and her 2022-23 season is a testament to that. Heck, her whole Iowa career so far is a testament to that.

Top TE prospect Dalton Kincaid won't do drills at NFL Combine

Depending on who you talk to, Utah's Dalton Kincaid is the top tight end available in the 2023 NFL Draft. Notre Dame's Michael Mayer is potentially in that category as well, so it stands to reason that anything that could separate the two will be important in the eyes of evaluators.

Tigers pitcher Spencer Turnbull faces live hitters for the first time since Tommy John surgery

Spencer Turnbull hasn't pitched against MLB hitters since June of 2021, but that all changed for Turnbull down in Lakeland, Florida on Thursday as he participated in his first spring training back with the team.

The Los Angeles Rams just cut an All-Pro to make cap space

Almost a year ago, future Hall of Fame linebacker Bobby Wagner signed a five-year, $50 million deal with the Los Angeles Rams. He played one year on that deal, earning second-team All-Pro honors, but that's as far as he'll get on that deal with LA.

Russell Wilson's new QB coach is a 28-year-old first-timer

At just 28 years old, does he have what it takes to coach up a famous veteran in Wilson and help him bounce back from arguably the worst season of his career?

Four-star 2024 QB 'Air' Noland may have the best nickname in college football soon enough

High school quarterback Prentiss Noland will certainly find himself amongst the top nicknames in college football history. He'll be right up there with the Johnny Footballs and Sweetnesses of the college football world.

Todd McShay's surprising pick for 'most talented quarterback' in the 2023 NFL Draft

When thinking of the top quarterback prospects in the 2023 NFL Draft, names like Bryce Young from Alabama, C.J. Stroud from Ohio State and Will Levis from Kentucky likely come to mind.

Duke legend Mike Krzyzewski's shocking confession: 'I don't miss coaching'

Not even retired for one year yet, one would think that Mike Krzyzewski would miss all that coaching, or at least all the success he's had over the years, but that's actually not so.

Packers reportedly trying to keep WR Allen Lazard

Lazard wasn't really the No. 1 receiver the Packers were hoping he could be in 2022. That's okay, frankly, because those expectations were unrealistic. 

Packers insider reveals why there's a chance Jordan Love will request a trade

The vibes toward Love appear to be positive in Green Bay, and the organization seems to be confident in him. For now, though, everything hinges on the man in the dark. 

Failed CFB coach Willie Taggart joins Ravens staff

While he may be a stellar positional coach, recruiter or coordinator, only his 2016 season at South Florida — when the team went 10-2 — could be used as evidence that Taggart is a good head coach. Taggard has a 71-80 record in the college ranks.

49ers QB Brock Purdy's surgery has been postponed

If healthy, it stands to reason that Purdy will be a great option for San Francisco in 2023. However, Purdy's surgery — which was scheduled for Feb. 22 — is being postponed.

The Detroit Pistons now have 11 former first-round picks with addition of R.J. Hampton

If the Pistons do have a championship future, it sure feels like it's a long way away. This is despite the fact that general manager Troy Weaver has put together a roster featuring 11 former first-round picks.

San Antonio Brahmas were XFL's most popular ticket in Week 1 by staggering amount

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's league has something to be excited about, and the city of San Antonio is a huge part of the XFL's plans moving forward.

New two-round 2023 NFL mock draft predicts Bears will go defense with No. 1 pick

Thee mock projects that Chicago will draft Alabama linebacker Will Anderson. If this mock were to play out in reality, this would be a clear-cut sign that the Chicago front office is confident in Fields.

Now in the XFL, former first-round NFL Draft pick Paxton Lynch is still not a good QB

Through one game, Lynch seems to be continuing his downward trajectory. In fact, he was benched in his first XFL game.

Hawks fire head coach Nate McMillan amid underwhelming start

The Hawks are 29-30 — just below .500 — and owner Antony Ressler as well as general manager Landry Fields have apparently seen enough.

LSU WR Malik Nabers arrested for illegal carrying of weapon

Nabers still has quite a chance to be a star for the Tigers going forward, but it's worth noting that his junior season may be carrying the cloud of off-field issues over it. 

Giannis Antetokounmpo has a sprained ligament in the wrist, will miss time

He had suffered a wrist injury in Milwaukee's last game before the All-Star break and though he was the team captain and drafted a slew of superstars for his all-star team, the draft plus the two points he scored were his only contributions to All-Star weekend.

Georgetown basketball snapped a 22-game road losing skid against Butler

It has not been a good stretch of basketball for the Georgetown Hoyas — especially on the road. The Hoyas are 7-21 and dead last in the Big East. They've also only won two games in the conference, but the good news is one of those games was the last one.

Colorado HC Deion Sanders: 'We will not settle for mediocrity'

Sanders has to know he has quite an uphill battle at Colorado. The Buffaloes were 1-11 last season and they haven't had a full-season winning record since 2016.
