One of the Ball brothers wants to fight Jake Paul

“Ball vs. Paul” could soon be coming to a screen near you.

LiAngelo Ball, the middle of the basketball-playing Ball brothers, went viral this week for his comments about the YouTuber-turned-boxer Jake Paul. On the “What An Experience” podcast, the show that he shares with his older brother Lonzo and their friends, LiAngelo said that he would be interested in fighting Paul next, assuming that he got a good payday out of it.

LiAngelo added that he would need a few months to train though, acknowledging that Paul “would sleep me in a boxing match.”

Here is the full clip.

Even if Paul, fresh off a unanimous decision victory over 58-year-old Mike Tyson, is still only a partly-serious professional boxer at best, LiAngelo may indeed be barking up the wrong tree here. Though LiAngelo might have the height advantage at 6-foot-5 to Paul’s 6-foot-1, Paul has an establishing history of clobbering basketball players with no fighting experience.

It could admittedly be fun to see the comedy show that would ensue from the Ball family going up against the Paul family, especially if father LaVar Ball gets involved as the promoter. But there are other much more likely (and much more capable) opponents who are willing to fight Paul instead.

Kirk Cousins makes notable leadership move after Falcons practice

Kirk Cousins might be relegated to the job of backup quarterback, but he is showing veteran leadership to his Atlanta Falcons teammates. Following Sunday's practice, Cousins pulled aside rookie defensive end James Pearce to encourage the first-round pick after his fourth practice in the league at Flowery Branch, Georgia. "QB Kirk Cousins pulled aside Pearce after practice to compliment him on a pass batted down," wrote Marc Raimondi of ESPN. Cousins reportedly had a solid day of practice on Sunday, going 7-of-12 passing against the first-team unit. If Cousins wants out of Atlanta, he's not showing it at practice. The four-time Pro Bowl quarterback is competing on the field and being a good teammate around the facility. Cousins' actions on the field backed up what Falcons general manager Terry Fontenot praised Cousins for before the team's practice on Sunday. “Outside, it's a lot more of a deal than it is in the building,” Fontenot said to the media about the idea of friction between the Falcons and Cousins, per video from D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal Constitution. “He shows up, he does his job, just like anybody ... We've gotta build the best 70-man roster so we can go win games. "That's what we're focused on, and Kirk, just like all the other players, is focused on coming in here and doing their job. That's what he's been doing." Fontenot didn't dismiss the idea that Atlanta would trade Cousins before the season. He said the Falcons will do whatever it takes to make the team better, but stressed that Cousins has been a professional throughout the process of being replaced by Michael Penix Jr., a first-round pick from the 2024 draft. “In terms of making moves, whether it's trades or acquiring players, we're always looking at those factors," Fontenot said. "We're gonna do whatever we can do to make this team the best it can possibly be. But he's been a great professional, and he's handled himself well.” Cousins is coming to work in a manner that will make another owner want to take a chance on the veteran quarterback. That could be one of his best-selling points before he plays in his 13th season in the league.

Jon Gruden Praises New Detroit Lions OC John Morton In Surprise Training Camp Visit

Jon Gruden, a coach synonymous with intense playbooks and fiery passion, made an unexpected appearance at the Detroit Lions’ training camp this week. His visit wasn’t just a casual stop; it was personal. Gruden came to observe and encourage John Morton, the Lions’ newly instated offensive coordinator, a man who once learned under Gruden’s wing. This moment underscores Morton’s rise to prominence as he steps into a critical role left vacant by the highly regarded Ben Johnson. Gruden’s comments during his visit illuminated not only Morton’s capabilities but also the potential of the Lions’ offense as they prepare for a new season. Here’s a closer look at what the veteran coach had to say and why Morton’s story resonates so deeply in Detroit. The Gruden-Morton Connection John Morton and Jon Gruden’s relationship stretches back decades to their days with the Green Bay Packers. Back then, Gruden was a receivers coach, and Morton, a wide-eyed young receiver, was working to make his own mark. Their connection deepened in Oakland in 1998 when Gruden gave Morton his first coaching job in the NFL. Gruden took Morton under his wing, throwing him challenging assignments and immersing him in the philosophies of the West Coast offense—a foundation of today’s pro playbooks. John Morton has often credited Gruden for his coaching pedigree. “I thought I knew football, but I didn’t until I was in a room with Jon,” Morton remarked during camp. Those early lessons became the building blocks of Morton’s coaching style, shaping how he views schemes, player utilization, and game strategy. Gruden, watching from the sidelines in Allen Park, didn’t shy away from showering Morton with praise. “This guy is nuts,” Gruden exclaimed, grinning. “He loves the grind. People used to call me crazy, but John? He’s on another level. He’s relentless, creative, and a true competitor. Detroit’s offense is in good hands.” Stepping Into Ben Johnson’s Shoes Morton faces a significant challenge ahead. Replacing Ben Johnson, who left the Lions in the offseason after transforming them into an offensive powerhouse, is no small feat. Under Johnson’s play-calling, Detroit’s offense was both explosive and efficient, with quarterback Jared Goff finding stability and the team achieving playoff contention for the first time in years. Now Morton is tasked with not only maintaining that momentum but putting his personal stamp on the offensive system. While much of last year’s blueprint will remain intact, Morton will introduce his influences—many of which come directly from his time under Gruden. Detroit Lions fans can expect “a lot of compressed formations and pre-snap movement,” according to Gruden himself. Morton’s approach appears to be rooted in the fundamentals of Recognize, Communicate, and Execute, or “RCE,” a philosophy Gruden instilled in him during their time together. “It’s all about getting the quarterback and the offense on the same page before the snap,” Morton explained. “If you do that right, the odds swing in your favor. It’s about the little details adding up to something big.” Gruden’s Thoughts on Jared Goff Beyond his clear admiration for Morton, Gruden took time to share his thoughts on the Lions’ trigger man, Jared Goff—a quarterback who has enjoyed a career renaissance in Detroit after his time with the Rams ended on a sour note. Jon Gruden was effusive in his praise, even daring to compare Goff to Hall of Famer Joe Montana. “I know it’s a big name to throw out there, but his composure, efficiency, and footwork under pressure remind me of Montana when I was with the 49ers,” said Gruden. He also lauded Goff’s ability to stay calm in the pocket, referring to him as “one tough cat.” Morton’s task of sustaining Goff’s upward trajectory will be a key storyline in the upcoming season. With Goff as his quarterback and an arsenal of playmakers such as Amon-Ra St. Brown and rookie sensation Jahmyr Gibbs at his disposal, Morton has the tools to keep the offense humming. Building a Foundation for Success Detroit is hungry for more than just incremental improvement; they’re chasing sustained success. Gruden’s visit served as both a personal reunion and a reminder of the kind of accountability and innovation Morton is expected to bring to an already promising situation. Morton’s offensive philosophy, infused with Gruden’s fingerprints, appears tailor-made for a Lions roster that has embraced creativity and adaptability under head coach Dan Campbell. Early reports from camp indicate that Morton is blending the old with the new, keeping key elements of Johnson’s schemes while adding wrinkles of his own. His ability to evolve the offense without overhauling it will likely determine how far the team can go in 2025. Gruden summed it up best when he said, “This is the coach’s time now. More than anything, I just wanted to see John work. He’s got the tools, the passion, and the roster to make it work. The grind, the details, the relationships—it’s all on him now, and I’m here to support him.” The Road Ahead John Morton isn’t just stepping into a new job; he’s inheriting expectations, pressure, and the hopes of a fanbase long starved for greatness. His first few months on the job will be pivotal as he fine-tunes his offense, earns the trust of his players, and navigates the shadow left by Ben Johnson. But Detroit isn’t starting from scratch. With a playoff-ready roster and a leadership team committed to fostering growth, Morton has a strong foundation to build upon. And with mentors like Gruden in his corner, he has a wealth of wisdom to draw from. For Detroit Lions fans, Gruden’s visit was more than a nostalgic trip down memory lane—it was an endorsement of the new era brewing in Detroit. With Morton at the helm and the support of a team that believes in him, the Lions are poised to take another step closer to fulfilling their long-awaited potential.

Bears GM speaks out after superstar goes down with injury

Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson is expected to miss most of training camp due to a leg injury, per ESPN’s Courtney Cronin. Johnson was placed on the non-football injury list when veterans reported to Chicago for camp. He suffered the injury during offseason training, according to Bears general manager Ryan Poles. Johnson is coming off his second consecutive Pro Bowl and is headed into the second year of a four-year, $76M deal. He has dealt with a number of injuries over his career, playing no more than 15 games in a season over the first four years of his career. In 2024, he played a full season for the first time, starting all 17 games with a career-high 1,032 snaps. An extended absence into the regular season would force Chicago to find another starting cornerback among their veteran depth, but Poles said that the team is not “overly concerned” about a long-term injury. “We’ve got a lot of faith that he’s going to put in the time to rehab and be his full self when he comes back,” said Poles on Tuesday. 2023 fifth-rounder Terell Smith will likely step into a first-team role in Johnson’s absence. Chicago largely relied on a cornerback trio of Johnson, Tyrique Stevenson and Kyler Gordon last year; Smith is the only remaining defensive back on the roster who played at least 150 snaps on the boundary for the Bears in 2024, according to Pro Football Focus. Offseason signings Nick McCloud and Tre Flowers may also see a bump in reps over the coming weeks as Johnson rehabs his leg with his eyes on returning for the Bears’ Week 1 opener against the Vikings.

NBA Insider Reveals Why Dallas Mavericks Had D’Angelo Russell Higher on Their Free Agent Wish List Than Chris Paul

The Dallas Mavericks had D’Angelo Russell higher on their free agent wish list than Chris Paul, according to NBA insider Marc Stein of The Stein Line. The Mavericks signed Russell to a two-year, $11.7 million contract on July 6. Russell played with Anthony Davis on the Los Angeles Lakers. Meanwhile, Paul signed a one-year, $3.6 million deal with the Los Angeles Clippers. “One source with knowledge of the Mavericks’ thinking, for the record, insists that Dallas had D’Angelo Russell higher on its free agent wish list than Chris Paul,” Stein wrote. “For two reasons. There is a belief in Dallas that Russell, in addition to leading the Mavericks’ efforts to cope without the injured Kyrie Irving, will find it easier to carve out a supplementary role when Irving is back playing after rehabbing from his ACL tear. “Dallas is also said to see him as a better fit alongside star big man Anthony Davis after Davis and Russell just played together with the Lakers.” Russell will start for the Mavericks at point guard next season until Irving is back from his ACL injury. The lefty played for the Lakers and Brooklyn Nets last season, averaging 12.6 points, 2.8 rebounds and 5.1 assists in 58 games. The 29-year-old shot 39.0% overall, 31.4% from beyond the arc and 83.4% from the foul line. Russell has played for the Lakers (twice), Nets (twice), Golden State Warriors and Minnesota Timberwolves. He was the second overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. The Ohio State product, who has been traded by every team he’s played for, has career averages of 17.3 points, 3.4 rebounds and 5.7 assists. Russell will wear No. 5 with the Mavericks, who missed the playoffs last season after making the NBA Finals in 2024. Dallas general manager Nico Harrison traded Luka Dončić to the Lakers for Davis and Max Christie in February.
