The Warriors’ need for size on their roster has led them to two very intriguing players.
He had zero FBS scholarship offers. But Mekhi Mews is one of college football’s best returners, and on a team of four- and five-stars, Mews is scattering and dicing defenses.
Veteran center Dwight Howard will meet with the Warriors next week to discuss the possibility of signing a deal, The Athletic’s Shams Charania reports.
Howard is an 18-year NBA veteran who has played for seven teams in his career, beginning with eight years as a star for the Magic. He last played in the league for the Lakers in the 2021–22 season, appearing in 60 games and producing 6.2 points and 5.9 rebounds per game.
In his NBA career, Howard has been named an All-Star eight times—the last coming in 2014—and has led the league in rebounding five times.
The Chiefs have a tough game at Jacksonville in Week 2. They also have Patrick Mahomes. That matters in evaluating how they should feel about an 0-2 start. Other teams aren’t so lucky.

McDowell spilled the tea on LIV Golf, admitting he regrets helping prop up the rival tour, but also pointed fingers at the PGA Tour.
Graeme McDowell took a lot of heat last year after leaving the PGA Tour for LIV Golf.

No NFL figure seems more aware that football is indeed a game, and how everything is supposed to be in good fun, than Dolphins coach Mike McDaniel.
Fans at SoFi Stadium saw an excellent example of McDaniel’s mischievous streak during Miami’s Week 1 matchup with the Chargers. NFL Network analyst Daniel Jeremiah, who calls color commentary on the Chargers’ radio broadcasts, recalled McDaniel’s attempt to prank the opposing sideline on his podcast, Move the Sticks.
Just two games into Deion Sanders’s tenure as Colorado’s head coach, there is already speculation as to whether Sanders could leave for a better job. Whether that means taking a higher-profile job in college or jumping to the NFL, Sanders is likely to generate a lot of interest if the Buffaloes continue to win.
Nevertheless, that doesn’t necessarily mean Sanders will want to leave, and for now, he is committed to Colorado. Sanders said Friday on ESPN’s First Take that he has no intentions of leaving his current job.
“I’m not going to the NFL,” he said.
Colorado State coach Jay Norvell criticized Colorado coach Deion Sanders this week ahead of Saturday’s matchup in Boulder for keeping his hat and sunglasses on during some interviews.
“I sat down with ESPN today,” Norvell said Wednesday. “I don’t care if they hear it in Boulder. I told them, I took my hat off and I took my glasses off. I said when I talk to grown-ups, I take my hat off and my glasses off. That’s what my mother taught me.”
Sanders is soaking it all in.
