Marcus Spears wasn’t impressed by Deion Sanders’ outlook on recruiting.
The Colorado head coach made some waves when he claimed that he looks for QBs with high GPAs who come from two-parent households, and ideally, he’d be a coach’s son. A QB prospect also can’t have issues off the field. On the offensive line, he needs players with strong father figures, reasonably good GPAs and “tough.”

On the other side of the ball, he wants defensive linemen who are fighting and scraping by on “free lunch” and “trying to rescue mama.

The Bucks star had a unique chance to take aim at his peers on The Daily Show Monday night.
Bucks star Giannis Antetokounmpo joined The Daily Show on Monday night, and host Hasan Minhaj gave the NBA champion a chance to roast some of his fellow NBA stars.

Lux suffered the injury on Monday when it appeared his knee buckled during a spring training game while running to third base and he was eventually carted off the field.

Northern Arizona’s college basketball announcer Mitch Strohman is an electric factory. However, he got a bit ahead of himself during Tuesday’s game against Weber State.
Strohman is currently in his 22nd season as the ‘Voice of the Lumberjacks’ on the Learfield network. Entering the 2022/23 season, he had called the play-by-play for 217 football games and 596 men’s basketball games.

Needless to say, Strohman is a staple in Flagstaff, where he has called more than 1,000 total games in 33 years.

With an expanded 2024 Copa América and ’26 World Cup, the confederation revealed its qualifying campaign along with a new Nations League format.
The U.S. will have to win just one of two potential home-and-away series against Concacaf opposition to qualify for the 2024 Copa América, the regional governing body revealed Tuesday as it unveiled its ’23–25 senior men’s competition structure.
Next year’s Copa América, which will be staged in the U.S., will include six Concacaf qualifiers alongside the 10 South American nations that traditionally contest the prestigious tournament.

Sometimes professional baseball players can be just like us. Sure, they make millions of dollars and travel the world playing a game that they love but things can also get difficult for them in life. 
Just look at what happened to New York Mets infielder Luis Guillorme during a spring training game earlier this week. He was a little out of breath after getting on base and because of that he hoped his teammate, Pete Alonso, could hit a home run for him so he could just trot around the bases instead of having to sprint around them on any other type of hit.

The Jets are one of the most interesting teams of the NFL offseason, as New York is firmly in the market for a new quarterback. The team has already met with free agent Derek Carr, and is expected to be interested in Aaron Rodgers if the Packers decide to trade him
On Tuesday at the NFL combine, Jets general manager Joe Douglas spoke for the first time since meeting with Carr. Douglas praised the former Raiders quarterback, and confirmed that he expects to meet with him again at the combine.

Best picks, biggest regrets and nastiest snipes from this 15-team draft.
On Feb. 21, the LABR experts league gathered to kick off fantasy baseball draft season.
LABR (League of Alternative Baseball Reality) was formed in 1994 by John Hunt, a fantasy baseball columnist for USA Today, and the original group featured experts such as Bill James, who many know from the movie Moneyball.
