The defending champ suffered a muscular injury earlier in the week while at home.
Three-time Super Bowl winner and former New England Patriots great Julian Edelman is joining “FOX NFL Kickoff” this season.
August 24th, or 8/24, has become colloquially referred to as Kobe Bryant Day, in honor of Bryant’s two jersey numbers.
So it’s fitting that his former team, the Los Angeles Lakers, announced a permanent tribute to the legendary Hall of Famer. On another extremely fitting day.
On February 8th, 2024, or 2/8/24, the Lakers will unveil a Kobe Bryant statue out in front of Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles. Another “8/24” date.
Vanessa Bryant posted a video announcing the statue, with the Lakers saying it would immortalize “Kobe’s legacy.
Every year, certain factions of people on social media accuse the NFL of being entirely scripted. The idea is that teams and players receive a script during the preseason, and they must follow it throughout the year. The Baltimore Ravens decided to have some fun with that idea in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, on Thursday.
And, if they’re right, it sounds like the Baltimore Ravens are going to reach the Super Bowl. Several players mentioned that their “script” has them making the big game this year.
Kyrie Irving has won gold medals on three separate occasions while playing for Team USA, but if he had it his way, those three accomplishments never would have happened. Or so he says.
During a recent Twitch stream, which I’m sure was filled with incredibly insightful dialogue, Irving explained that he sees himself as an “international player” even though he’s played with ‘USA’ on the front of his jersey throughout his career.
“I consider myself an international player even though I played on Team USA,” Irving said on the stream.
Kevin Hart is usually in the business of making other people laugh, but the famous actor and comedian isn’t afraid to chuckle at himself.
He proved it by admitting that he injured himself after challenging former Patriots running back Stevan Ridley to a race in the 40-yard dash.
Hart, 44, revealed the details Wednesday on Instagram. He explained that what began as a friendly debate about who’s faster ended in pain. Indeed, Hart said he’s temporarily wheelchair-bound after tearing abdomen and hip adductor muscles while racing the 34-year-old Ridley.

Ferrari is still struggling with their 2023 challenger, even as 2024 looms
With the second half of the 2023 Formula 1 season set to get underway, Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz Jr. was able to boil down their struggles to one word ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix.
Consistency.
Speaking at press conferences on Thursday, Sainz outlined how the one thing the team was sorely lacking this season was any semblance of consistency from the SF-23, their challenger for the 2023 season.
Few sports deal in thinner margins than track and field. A second, an inch or a centimeter might be all the separation between gold-medal glory and fourth-place disappointment.
Sometimes, however, the margin is even closer than that.
Such a situation arose at the World Athletics Championships in Budapest Wednesday, as pole vaulters Nina Kennedy of Australia and Katie Moon of the United States both cleared 4.90 meters—the best total in the world this season.
The two competitors could have advanced to a jump-off, which would have determined separate gold and silver medalists.
