As they’ve cycled through quarterbacks, the 49ers’ top-ranked defense has remained a constant. It has everything to do with the man in charge of it and his younger self.
At the Texans’ football headquarters, only the brave called the middle linebacker by his actual birth name. This destroyer of running backs and setter of standards wasn’t “DeMeco Ryans” at the office. Nor was he “Meco,” the nickname his many of his friends still use. Instead, everyone in Houston, from owner to custodian, called him “Cap.

The NIL era has led to a lot of unique partnerships between athletes and organizations. None, though, stand out like a recent deal in Indiana.
A group of five Notre Dame athletes agreed to the first-known agreement with a house of God. The event will be held on Super Bowl Sunday. Rather, ‘Souper’ Bowl Sunday.
County Line Church of God in Auburn, Indiana, is located one hour and 47 minutes from South Bend. It announced earlier this week that it will host “5 Division I college athletes” for autograph sessions after each service on Feb.
Former Detroit Lions player Jessie Lemonier has died.
The Lions announced Thursday morning that the 25-year-old defensive end passed away. A cause of death wasn’t announced.
“We are shocked and saddened to learn of the passing of former Detroit Lion Jessie Lemonier. Jessie was a model teammate and wonderful young man who is gone far too soon. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time,” the team announced to fans.
KD didn’t like Joel Embiid’s crotch chops against the Nets.
The NBA knew exactly what they were doing when they scheduled the Brooklyn Nets at the Philadelphia 76ers during “Rivalry Week.” This was all about Ben Simmons returning to Philly after his infamous struggles in the 2021 NBA Playoffs led to a trade request, a decision to sit out games, and eventually a move to Brooklyn that returned James Harden to the Sixers.
These trademark programs are struggling mightily this season.

Someone noticed one thing that was off about him.

In what is likely the strangest scene this college basketball season, a DoorDash delivery person was seen on the court in the middle of a game between Loyola Chicago and Duquesne on Wednesday night. The delivery man looked confused as he walked around looking for someone to give the bag of McDonald’s, but a new video from a Loyola staffer shows that it was likely a prank.
He set the record straight after some interpreted his tweet as a dig at his teammate.
Cowboys star Micah Parsons’s reaction to a quote by Bills general manager Brandon Beane had some fans speculating that he was taking a subtle shot at his own quarterback: Dak Prescott.
After his team was dominated at home by the Bengals, 27–10, Beane took a shot at Cincinnati for the struggles the team had before the turnaround that the team experienced in 2021.
“They have a good team. They, right now, are on the advantage of a rookie quarterback contract.
Washington State football coach Jake Dickert isn’t going anywhere.
The head coach of the Cougars finished the season 7-6, and that was good enough to land him a new deal with the program.

Jake Dickert earns a new deal.
The eight-time All-Star couldn’t hide his anger late in the Warriors’ game against the Grizzlies.
A dejected Stephen Curry was ejected from the Warriors’ Wednesday night game after teammate Jordan Poole missed a shot late in the 122–120 victory over the Grizzlies.
With a little more than a minute left in Golden State’s matchup against Memphis, a wide-open Curry motioned to Poole to pass him the ball. Instead, Poole took a questionable three-pointer—and missed. Curry couldn’t contain his palpable anger and threw his mouthguard while running back on defense.
Ed Reed has turned on Shannon Sharpe.
The former (?) Bethune-Cookman head football coach fired up the social media machine for the first time in a few days Wednesday night, and decided to take aim at a fellow NFL Hall of Famer.
Sharpe, for those who missed it, addressed Reed’s dismissal from Bethune earlier this week on FS1’s Undisputed. You can watch the clip below, but, frankly, Sharpe didn’t really say anything bad about Reed at all.
Essentially, he says what pretty much everyone and their mother have said for nearly a week now: Reed’s intentions were good.
