The NBA’s No. 1 overall draft pick, Victor Wembanyama, is used to turning heads based on his sheer talent and size. But on Monday, the Spurs rookie center became a hot topic on social media for a different reason… his new hair style.
Teammate Jeremy Sochan posted a video of Wembanyama’s new hair color on Instagram while hinting that maybe the 7-foot-5 hopeful star was even copying Sochan, who is known to rock his own wild styles from time to time. Immediately, social media picked up on it with mixed reactions – some even wondering if Wembanyama lost a bet.

Sony Michel felt the need to let the world know that he is, in fact, not dead. While he did retire from the NFL just over a month ago, he is very much still alive.
A post on X, formerly known as Twitter, alleged that the former Georgia Bulldog passed away in a motorcycle accident in Florida. The post was later deleted, but Michel wanted to assure his followers that he is doing just fine.
Michel, an Orlando native, jumped on X and shared a two-word message: fake news.
Laz Díaz is one of the umpires in Major League Baseball that fans know all too well. That isn’t a good thing for an umpire because if you’re good at your job, you should go virtually unnoticed for your entire career.
That can’t be said for Díaz, who is right up there with Ángel Hernandez for being the worst ump in professional baseball.
Last week Díaz was part of a viral moment when Yankees manager Aaron Boone mocked him during an argument that led to Boone’s ejection.

Talk about turnover! Perhaps no NFL team is going to look more different in 2023-24 than they did in 2022-23. Gone is future Hall of Fame quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
After 81 scoreless minutes, Spain and Sweden’s showdown had a goal-ridden finale. Meanwhile, Australia and England are set to meet in the second semifinal.
The NFL season is just around the corner, and if you’re itching to place some player prop wagers on the season, now could be an excellent time to take advantage of a few preseason markets.
Bear in mind it’s usually not wise to tie up a lot of bankroll for the season, so think carefully about how much you invest in the preseason to have plenty left for your weekly wagers. However, there’s no reason not to start getting in on some of the action today.
I’ve chosen mostly over bets, so maybe we won’t have to sweat it out for the full 17-game regular season.
Following a summer of conference upheaval, every aspect of the CFP, from its format to revenue sharing to who has the most influence, is up for review.
I have written often over the last decade in this space about the tilted relationship between NFL management (owners, teams, commissioner) and NFL labor (players, union, agents). Starting with the 2011 lockout, the owners have been intent on “resetting the economic model,” which is management-speak for clawing back whatever they can from the players. And they have been dramatically successful in achieving that objective.
Want to know how terrific Jordan Addison has looked? Just ask his coach.
On Sunday after practice, I spoke with Kevin O’Connell and opened my questions by asking what he’s seen from Addison thus far this summer. Here’s the ensuing 54 seconds:
“What’s really been impressive is what he mentally was able to absorb in the spring without getting to really take any reps as we let him kind of settle in,” O’Connell told Sports Illustrated.

Michael Oher’s lawsuit sheds new light on the hit movie ‘The Blind Side’
The life story of Michael Oher, a ward of the foster care system being adopted by a family in Tennessee who set him on the path to NFL stardom, seemed too good to be true. It was the basis for a book by Michael Lewis, titled The Blind Side: Evolution of the Game, and a later movie based on Oher’s life story.
However, a new petition filed in probate court on Monday alleges just that: That the story was too good to be true.
