While James Harden did indeed arrive at 76ers training camp on Wednesday, and also participated, the looming question about how the coming days and weeks will play out wasn’t immediately put to rest. Although Harden received some praise from teammates, the first glimpse of him on the floor may have summed up how he’s feeling at this moment, being in Colorado with the team.
As Harden awaits his future and hopes for a trade out of Philadelphia, nothing looks imminent at this point.

Ever got in trouble at school and knew the teacher called home before you actually got home that day? Remember that pit in your stomach? That’s what Alabama defensive back Terrion Arnold felt coming off the sidelines when he saw Nick Saban with his fire in his eyes last Saturday.
Only difference was, Terrion thought it was his brother — not him –who was about to get an ass-chewing.
Whoops!
“When he came to me (Saturday), I was actually on the field like, ‘Oh, he looks mad, he’s fixin’ to give it to somebody.

Aberg is in Mississippi for a PGA Tour fall event after he helped win the Ryder Cup that featured the beatdown of Koepka and Scheffler.
Ludvig Aberg is in the field for the Sanderson Farms Championship a week after he helped Team Europe beat down Team USA in the Ryder Cup. This week marks his eighth PGA Tour start as a rookie since he finished No. 1 in the PGA Tour University standings. He has made six of the seven cuts previously.
The rookie went 2-2-0 in his first Ryder Cup appearance, but one of those wins made history.
Russell Wilson’s relationship with his former Seahawks teammates has been scrutinized plenty in recent years, ultimately leading up to Seattle trading the quarterback last offseason. While the two sides won a Super Bowl together, it’s clear that the relationship eroded over the years.
Part of that scrutiny is that the Seahawks players felt that Wilson didn’t ingratiate himself with the rest of the team like most quarterbacks do.
Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is off to a rocky start to the season as he works to get back to full strength following an offseason calf injury.
On Wednesday, following Cincinnati’s 27–3 defeat against the Titans in Week 4, Burrow provided an update on his calf injury, indicating to reporters that he’s trending in the right direction.
“This is the best I’ve felt after a game. So I am optimistic,” said Burrow, via Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic.
The Bengals will look to bounce back in Week 5 after a lackluster 1–3 start to the season.
Unless you’ve been living under a rock, Patrick-style, in recent weeks, you’ve no doubt heard about the NFL’s alliance of convenience with musician Taylor Swift — an alliance that has blossomed in tandem with and because of her reported tentative relationship with Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce.
It’s been a compelling pop culture moment, one that has evaded the NFL in recent years in this fractured American age, but it has also generated—the usual sexist vitriol notwithstanding—whispers of overexposure.

Totally apropos of nothing … I was cleaning out years of files this weekend. Files. Clippings. Basketball. Book files. TV crap. UFC. Tennis.

Team USA asst. captain Fred Couples detailed what really went down between Rory McIlroy and Joe LaCava at the Ryder Cup.
Fred Couples is beloved by just about all golf fans. He was in Rome last week for the Ryder Cup as one of the assistant captains for Team USA.
On Tuesday, he joined PGA Tour radio and talked about the tensions between Rory McIlroy and caddie Joe LaCava that played out Saturday morning.
After Patrick Cantlay made a massive, 43-foot putt to win the match against McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick, the celebration ensued.
You have questions. I have answers. Let’s go …
From Debbie (@Dinardismum): Will Bill Belichick get fired this year?
Debbie, I don’t think Patriots owner Robert Kraft outright fires Bill Belichick. But I also don’t think Kraft is pleased with the state of his team, so I certainly think there could be moves he makes that hasten Belichick’s departure from the organization.
What could lead to those moves, I believe, is actually right in front of the Patriots now.
Bill Belichick suffered the worst loss of his coaching career in Week 4 against the Cowboys.
