Charles Barkley believes that the NBA is headed for a lockout sooner rather than later thanks to two factors, and both have to do with players around the league acting selfish.
Speaking with the media ahead of this weekend’s All-Star Game festivities in Salt Lake City, Barkley was asked about Kevin Durant, Kyrie Irving, and James Harden all asking for a trade from the Brooklyn Nets in short order.
The landscape around college athletics has taken a drastic turn over the last number of years, with SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey at the forefront. What started in 2019 as a research project into schedule changes in football, has now turned into one of the biggest topics around the sport with playoff expansion on the horizon.
I recently sat down with Commissioner Greg Sankey to discuss a variety of topics, including former Mississippi State coach Mike Leach.
Chiefs rookie Jaylen Watson was feeling himself during the team’s Super Bowl parade.
Kansas City celebrated its third Super Bowl in franchise history Wednesday, and the parade was pretty entertaining.
However, it was on a different level for Watson. He got himself so hammered he needed a wheelchair in order to leave.
Sometimes you control the party. Other times, the party controls you. For Watson, it was definitely the latter during the team’s Super Bowl parade.
Chiefs Kingdom!!! Y’all were responsible for this . YOU GOTTA FIGHT, FOR YOUR RIGHT pic.twitter.
One would think Ole Miss would get a little more of a home run trot.
The Rebels did win the College World Series in Omaha, Nebraska, last June, and made it look easy. Ole Miss went 10-1 in NCAA postseason play and held opponents to one run or less five times during that run.

It is almost — almost — time to go racing.
Formula 1 is back next week, with all ten teams headed to Bahrain for pre-season testing. The 2023 F1 season looks to be the most ambitious yet, with 23 events on the calendar, matching the longest schedule in F1 history. 24 races were originally on the docket, however, the Chinese Grand Prix has been canceled, and F1 has opted not to find a replacement.
There are also three Grands Prix slated for the United States, the most in F1 history.
Offense wins games, defense wins championships.
Running back Aaron Jones will be staying with the Packers after reaching an agreement Friday on an $11 million salary for the 2023 season that includes an $8.52 million signing bonus, his agents told ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
As she has showed at the SheBelieves Cup, Mallory Swanson is in the form of her life and USWNT head coach Vlatko Andonvoski believes she’s only going to get better.
Referees miss calls, they’re human, but anyone who has paid any attention to the NBA this season has recognized the officiating hasn’t exactly been up to par.
The most egregious example of this came when officials didn’t blow the whistle for LeBron James last month when he was clearly fouled during a last-second shot attempt during a tie game against the Boston Celtics.
James, like other superstars around the league, typically gets a whistle when he wants a whistle. On that particular play, however, a foul was actually committed and he should have been headed to the free-throw line.
