Veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis will play his 19th NFL season after re-signing with the Chicago Bears on a one-year contract.
For about 12 hours last winter, there was a question about whether Mike Tomlin would be signing a contract extension with the Pittsburgh Steelers. That question was answered Monday when the veteran coach, who has never had a losing season, signed a 3-year extension.
Yeah, this is a much better moment than that postgame press conference following a playoff loss to the Buffalo Bills in January. During that presser, Tomlin was asked about his looming contract questions.

The NFL calls it “mandatory minicamp” because every team gathers for what is typically the last few days of work before an extended break, and all players under contract must attend or risk being fined.
This week 22 NFL teams are conducting their mandatory minicamps. But one of those is not like the others.

The U.S. Open at Pinehurst No. 2. There may not be a better, more quintessentially American sentence in all of golf than that one. It is impossible not to be excited about the year’s third major championship returning to one of the great courses in the country after a decade-long hiatus, and if history holds, we’re in store for a classic and difficult U.S. Open yet again.
While the golf course will be the main character this week just as the USGA wants it to be, 1B on that list will be Scottie Scheffler.

Dan Hurley knew money couldn’t buy happiness with the Lakers
Dan Hurley is staying at UConn. The 51-year-old has turned down a head coaching offer from the Los Angeles Lakers, according to ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski. The Lakers offered Hurley a six-year, $70 million deal, according to Woj.
Hurley led UConn to back-to-back national championships in 2023 and 2024. He’s seeking to become the first men’s college basketball coach to three-peat since John Wooden at UCLA.
Business is booming for the WNBA.
